The next day when Emma walked into Mrs. Spencer’s class, Tia stood up with her friend Cordelia, and they both walked over to her.

 

“Ya know what? Whatever you have to say, I don’t wanna hear it so, how ‘bout you don’t waste anymore of my time and go away?” Emma shot at them, before they could say anything.

 

“Your not as cool as you think you are. So don’t mess with me. I’m the most popular girl in school and I can make the rest of your time here a living hell!” Tia replied.

 

“Oh wow, I’m scared now! What are you gonna do? Pull my hair? Oh wait, you might break a ‘precious nail’.” Emma said mockingly as she started to walk away.

 

“Hey!” Tia yelled.

 

“What do you wa....” Before Emma could finish her sentence, Tia slapped her across the face.

 

It was ten minutes before class was to start, so the room was pretty much emptied. The only people in there were the book worms, who were occupied with their books, and the jocks, who obviously wanted to see this little cat fight and would do nothing to stop it.

 

“Oh, that’s it you B****” Emma screamed as she punched Tia in the stomach.

 

*a/n: umm don’t ask where the adults are, cuz I don’t know!*

 

Cordelia stepped over Tia, who had fallen down holding her stomach.

 

“Oh what’s this? You have to get your friends to fight your battles?” Emma said, ducking before Cordelia could grab her hair.

 

Just as Tia was getting up to take a swing at Emma, Mrs. Spencer walked in the room.

 

“What in the world is going on in here?!” she screeched.

 

Emma and Tia didn’t notice the intrusion until after Emma had blocked a punch and given one of her own that landed right on Tia’s eye.

 

“Ladies! Both of you to the principal’s office! NOW!” Mrs. Spencer yelled.

 

As Emma was walking out of the room, Benji and Roxi were walking in.

 

“What happened to her?” Benji asked, referencing to Tia, who had just walked past him with a swelling cheekbone.

 

“She ran into my fist.” Emma explained with a smirk on her face. “But, I have to go now.”

 

“Where to?” Roxi questioned.

 

“Principal.” said Emma, still smiling.

 

As Emma walked down the hallway towards the principal’s office Benji nudged Roxi and said, “Second day here and she’s already been sent to Fabio.”

 

Fabio was the nickname for their principal. His real name was Mr. Dorazio. They called him Fabio because he had shoulder length, blonde hair, and he wore baggy shirts that looked like he was going to tango.

 

*a/n:umm I don’t think a principal is allowed to have long hair or whatever..but let’s just pretend! hehe*

 

............................................................

 

“Second day at school, and you’ve already been sent home for fighting?” Emma’s father said, slightly amused.

 

Her dad was not the strict type. He had certain limits, but overall he knew that Emma was a good kid.

 

“It was her fault.” Emma said, meaning Tia.

 

“Alright, well I’m gonna have to just drop you off at home. I have to go back to work.”

 

Emma walked in the front door. It was only 8:00am because Emma had gotten into the fight 10 minutes before her first class. School started at 7:30am.

 

“What am I supposed to do? I can’t walk around town cuz then they’ll call the cops on me for ditching.” Emma said to herself.

 

To pass the time, Emma painted her nails black and watched some movies. Around 1:30 the doorbell rang.

 

“Wonder who that could be.” Emma thought.

 

Getting up, Emma answered the door. It was the delivery service with their stuff.

 

“Sign here please.” the worker said as two other workers were unloading the truck and setting all the boxes in the front room.

 

After they had left, Emma searched through the boxes to find the one that said ‘Emma’s Decorations’ on it.

 

Finding the box, she carried it into her room. Opening it up, she found her posters and pictures.

 

When the doorbell rang at 3:00, Emma had just finished stapling the last poster on the wall.

 

“Coming.” she yelled as someone knocked.

 

Opening the door, she found Benji standing there.

 

“Hi.”

 

“Hey.” he said with a grin. “So, what happened that made Fabio send you home?”

 

“Fabio?” she questioned.

 

“Yeah, that’s Mr. Dorazio’s nickname. I’m guessing you could figure out why now that you’ve seen him.”

 

“Oh, yeah. Come on in and I’ll tell you. Don’t mind the boxes, they just came.” she said as Benji stepped in.

 

They made their way towards the family room and sat down on two separate couches.

 

“Nice place.” Benji said.

 

“Haha. Thanks.” replied Emma.

 

“So, what happened?”

 

“Tia was just sayin’ some stuff, then she slapped me so I punched her!” Emma said smiling.

 

“Dang.”

 

“What’d I miss in class today?”

 

“We were assigned groups to work on a project. Roxi and I volunteered you to be in our group. Hope you don’t mind.”

 

“But I wanted to be in Tia’s group.” Emma pouted jokingly.

 

“Oh, but don’t we all?!” Benji mocked in the same joking manner. “Well, I was just stopping by, but I’d better get home now. Haha, know what I’ve realized? You live right behind me!”

 

“Dude! That’s cool.” Emma said. “Wanna just jump the fence?”

 

“Sure!”

 

“But don’t be thinkin’ you can just jump the fence whenever! Or I’ll have to call the cops on you!” Emma teased.

 

Benji jumped the fence and was gone.

 

“Interesting kid.” thought Emma.

 

*a/n: Sorry for the lameness. It’s almost 2:00am and I am fresh out of ideas for this story for now!*
