"You little slut!" I say and give her a slap on her right cheek.
She holds it in pain and looks at me surprised.
"Did you just--" I cut her off.
"Yes I did! Never insult my mother! Again!!!"
She chuckles. "But its the truth. Which mother would train her daughter to become an ill mannered freak like you!"
"Shut up!" I say and shove her onto the floor completely annoyed. I pounce on her and give her some punches.
Students have gathered in the hall taking in the scene with their phones. I continue to punch her stupid doll face till my fist were bloody. She groans in pain and I grab her pink hair and shove her. She falls on the ground and blood spills on the floor.
"Nicole! Stop!!!" I hear a familiar male voice say but I don't look at the person. I needed to teach this bitch a lesson. She thinks she has guts! Just because she is the queen bee of the school! Argh!!! I hate her!!!
I lift her up from the floor and slam her onto one of the yellow lockers in the hall.
The students cheer loudly and I punch her the more and kick her even harder.
"Nikki stop!" Aaron appears in front of me and holds me in place.
"Let me go Aaron! I need to teach this bitch a lesson!!!" I say through gritted teeth.
I watched her struggle to her feet with blood all over her face.
"You've done enough! Let's get out of here" Aaron coaxes.
"No! Leave me alone" I yell but he drags me through the crowd. The crowd of students are laughing and taking pictures of me and the bitch.
We file into an empty classroom.
"What got into you Nikki?" Aaron yells.
My breathing is heavy from the fight. I inhale and exhale.
Aaron is a part of my gang. He is a handsome guy with brown hair and green eyes. He has a few tattoos on his body with a few piercings. He's a jock. He loves soccer.
"She provoked me"I answered
when I got the strength
" You've gone on three suspensions alone this term and now you want another? I know you're the Alpha but am worried about you"
"I don't care if I have another suspension! Justice has to be served"
Aaron sighs and looks at me with concern in his eyes.
"And don't stop me when I'm in the middle of a fight" I warned him and gave him the death glare.
"I cannot promise you that" Aaron spat.
I realise my hands are bloody and my hair is in a mess for fighting with that good for nothing savage!!!
"Am going to clean up" I say
"Are you crazy? You can't go out there right now! What if a teacher sees you?" Aaron warns.
"I will be careful Aaron! I'm not a baby!" I say.
"Miss Nicole Anderson!!! Please report to the principal's office immediately!!!" I hear through the speakers. Fuck!!! Another suspension on the way....
Aaron looks at me with a smirk.
I know he wanted to say I told you so.
I exit the classroom and go the girls washroom. A girl in the washroom sees me and shudders. I walk past her and wash my hands and my face. She exits the room quickly.
I roll my eyes. They see me as a monster now! I chuckle and dry my hands. Then I combed my dark hair down and straightened my black tank top. Then I left to the principal's office.
"Nikki" the principal says on seeing me. She was a beautiful woman with brown hair.
In front of her sat the bitch I had a fight with this morning. Kate Sanders. Her pink hair is dishevelled and ruffled and her mouth is busted with a few bruises on her face. She shudders when my eyes meet hers.
"Have a seat Nicole! Or you prefer Nikki?" The principal asks with a smug look on her face.
My lips tug upwards.
"Anyone you prefer Miss" I say amused.
She smiles amused too and says she prefers Nicole.
Kate steals glances at me. She looks terrified. Serves her right for bursting my bubble!
"You had a fight this morning with Miss Sanders here. Am I correct?" The principal asks raising an eyebrow at me.
"Absolutely correct ma'am" I reply.
"You know it's against school rules right?"
"Yes ma'am" I answer and Kate nods.
"Unfortunately for you Miss Anderson, its like Kate is the victim here because she's badly hurt and you do not even have a scratch on you. So it looks like you broke the rule"
"What? You can't punish me alone! She also fought back" I blurt.
Kate has an evil smirk on her bruised face. Witch!
"Apparently Miss Anderson, all the evidences are against you and Miss Sanders was the first to report the situation to me so you are the one to be punished" the principal explains.
I would have accepted the punishment on any normal school day where I know its my fault but with Kate Sanders involved, am not going to be cheated.
"Its not fair!!!" I yell and stand up.
"Sit down Miss Anderson" the principal instructs and I sit regardless.
"You have been suspended for a month! Your mom is on her way to pick you up. And as for you Miss Sanders, you will be suspended for a week only. Your driver is on his way. Both of you are leaving today. Case closed! Bye" The principal states and looks at her computer.
"But ma'am please I'm the victim here! Why do I get suspended?" Kate asks and I feel like punching her in the face.
"Because you also took part in the fight!" The principal states clearly.
Kate sighs and I smile. But the one week suspension is still a cheat. I exit the principal's office annoyed. A few students see me and make way for me in the hall. The I hear laughs. I turn to see everyone pointing and laughing at Kate when she comes out of the Principal's office.
I get to my locker and there's a poster on it already. It had a picture of me punching Kate.
"The Alpha attacks the Queen Bee" was the title on the poster.
I chuckle slightly. The person who made the poster chose a very good title. But seeing the picture alone got me angry and I yank the poster off my locker.
I shatter it into a million pieces and dump it in the trash can.
"How did it go Nikki?" A voice says and I turn to find Danny and Aaron standing there.
"Well I got suspended as always and am leaving today" I reply.
Danny chuckles. Aaron raises an eyebrow.
"So how long now?" Aaron asks.
"A month" I reply.
"And Kate?" Danny asks.
I roll my eyes. Whenever I hear her name I hate her even more.
"A week"
They are speechless for sometime. Danny is also part of my gang. He's tall, he has dark hair and brown eyes. He's actually an Afro American.
He's got tattoos only but lots and he loves bowling.
"That's a cheat" Danny says
"Well yeah but I don't care!" I say but I cared a lot. I cannot let them know I care! I'm the Alpha of the group! I need to be strong.
"We don't know what we will do without you gone" Aaron admits.
"Its just a month guys. I'll be back. Tell the others we'll meet this weekend"
"Sure!" Danny says and waves me goodbye. Aaron too follows suit and they both leave.
°~â¢~â¢Â°
I walk down the hallway and take the stairs to the bottom. I walk to the parking lot. My mom's car was parked. It was a cute Nissan Juke. She looked quite angry. I could see the frown on her face from a distance.
I exhale heavily and walk to the car. I enter the back and take a seat.
"I don't know what to do with you anymore Nicole" she says really pissed off and moves the car angrily out of the parking lot
"Its not what you think mom" I protest.
"That's what you always say! Why can't you change once and for all?" She yells back
"Cos I can't change! I cannot go back to that goody two shoes life! Don't you understand?"
Mom gasps.
"What happened to you Nicole?" She asks and I can feel she's about to cry.
"I learnt from my mistakes mom! That's what happened" I reply.
I see a few tears roll down her cheeks and she sniffs.
"I never dreamt you'll be like this someday. I wanted you to be a princess! A well groomed woman but no! You've turned into a wrestler and a gangster!" She spits and it pricks my heart.
She drives into the house and gets down first.
"I don't know if you can be the same daughter I had 17 years ago" She says to me and I see the tears brimmed in her blue irises. Then she leaves me in the sun having my own thoughts.
