“I’m so sorry. I wish I could do something.” Shelly said sadly.

“It’s fine. My mum will be in the hospital for about a week, maybe more or less. I’m gonna be alone…..but its fine.” Sam said quickly before Shelly could protest, brushing her hair back. After a few minutes of comfortable silence, they noticed Tris walking towards them and smiled, lightning up the mood.

“Hey Tris.” They said simultaneously.

“Hey guys. What’s up? You’re lucky you did not go to the canteen, it’s a mess. Astrid is arguing with Newt. I’m guessing it’ll become a fight.”

“Are you serious? Cool. Let’s go see it.” Shelly said excitedly.

“Sure. Sounds fun. Better than eating alone anyway.” Tris answered trailing behind.

As they entered the cafeteria, they could hear shouting, some cheering, but many ‘boo’s’. Astrid was standing with her hands on her hips shouting furiously at Newt, whilst Newt just stood there staring at her weirdly. He probably didn’t want to hit her just because she’s a girl. However, some people from the crowd were throwing eggs and tomatoes at Astrid.

“HOW DARE YOU TRIP ME OVER! YOU MADE ME RIP MY SO EXPENSIVE DRESS! IT’S DOIR FOR GODS SAKE! YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS NEWT!”

“How, I wonder.” He cocked his head to the side, smirking. Sam walked over to Astrid and said,

“You know? I was feeling quiet bored to be honest; there was no one to practice my boxing on. But i think your available, right?” Sam turned her head and winked at Newt, Shelly and Tris.

“Why don’t you go and get a life? Because I don’t think you have one.” That did it. Sam raised her fist and it connected with Astrid’s skull. Blood started pouring down her face. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head, as she dropped, almost lifeless onto the floor of the canteen. That is when Mr Norman, the head teacher, entered the canteen.

“What is this mess?” When his glare fixes on Astrid and the seen around he shouts, colour draining from his face.

“Newt and Sam! Into my office, NOW!”

“Uh oh. I did not mean that.” Sam mutters.

“Oh flip sake!” Newt heads towards the heads office.
