in Ohio
August 23rd, 2002
As soon as Daniel and I got out into the hall,I slapped him.His hand imediatley went to his face and the anger from his eyes turned back into the glittering aqua`s like before."Why did you lie to the principal?!You know that`s not what happened,"I said,shacking my arm off.His eyes went to the floor."I`m going back in there and telling him what happened.For REAL!"I was about to march back in there when Daniel stepped in front of me.
"Im afraid you cant do that.Believe it or not,I was actually protecting you,"he said.Oh,righttt!!I`m supposed to believe him.Yeah,uh huh,when pigs fly!I just stood there,glaring at him,my silver,cat like eyes ice cold.I really wished I could believe him,but I just walked away.During lunch,I could see why he said what he said.
"You`re Six,arent you?"this girl with blonde hair and a skimpy cheerleader dress on said to me.
"Yes,who are you?"I asked as I took a bite out of my pizza.She just looked at me with hard eyes.Just like the ones I gave Daniel.
"Im Brinda,Josh`s ex-girlfriend.Are you going out with him?"she asked.Brinda didnt look like she was very happy about this.
"Y-Yes,i am.Why?"I asked.Her hands imediatley went to my hair.She pulled it so hard hard,tears came to my eyes.I refused to cry,even if the pain was unbearable.Brinda`s hands pulled harder and harder and I could see a crowd around us.
"Get her,Brinda!Show her who`s boss!"Boss? "Make sure the thief is bald!" Thief?
"Josh belongs to Brinda,you slut!" Slut?
"HEY!Wait a minute!"I said.What are you doing,Six?I asked myself."What the heck are you talking about?"
"In this school,you cant snag a cheerleaders ex!Or that`s what they think."Suddenly,I saw Josh emerge from the crowd.Everyone gasped.It actually sort of felt as if I was in a soap opera or something.
