-Shubble-

I rushed out of my house, running around the block to Imperiya high.

I met Scott on the stairs and we waited for Lizzie and Joel to show up.

I sighed to Scott. "When will they ever be early?"

"Today." A voice said.

Scott turned around and started clapping. "THE FIRST TIME YOU GUYS HAVEN'T BEEN LATE! WOOO!"

"Shut up." Joel muttered, punching him on the arm in a friendly way.

"Hey! That's my gay Scottish man you're punching!" I joked.

We all burst into laughter.

"Yeah Joel, no hate crimes!" Scott said.

"Why meee!" Joel moaned.

"Don't worry babe, if they make fun of you, that's short person abuse!"

"HEY!" Joel said. "NOT YOU TOO!"

We all burst into laughter.

"What have you guys got?" Scott asked.

"A short boyfriend." Lizzie replied. We all chuckled loudly.

"Science." I said.

"Ooh, I have science too!" Scott said.

"Math." Joel and Lizzie replied.

Me and Scott walked to science.

"Hey, what's with you and Jim?" I asked.

"N-nothing." He said.

"Scott Major, I've seen the way you look at each other!"

"N-no! NO!" He said.

"You like Jim!" I said.

"SHHHH!" He replied.

"Did I not say it loud enough?" I asked.

"No, Shelby, you said it perfectly..." He sighed.

We arrived at science and took our seats.

It was pretty boring, even though I am good at it. Scott and I paired up to create a basic fire resistance potion, which I crafted in seconds so we just sat and talked.

"Hang on, I need to get something from the staffroom." The teacher said.

As soon as she left, the room erupted with chatter. I saw Fwhip and Gem move to talk to each other, whilst Pix and Oli chatted away.

"OI, GRACE!" Joey yelled. "YA SHORT LOSER!"

"AT LEAST I'M NOT A SIMP!" I yelled back.

A crowd gathered around me and Joey. Scott put his hand on my shoulder. I shrugged it off.

"Footsteps!" Fwhip whispered. He had amazing hearing.

We all got in our seats, me and Joey staring daggers at each other.

"This continues lunchtime. Freak." He spat.

"Ok, class, continue!" The teacher said.

----------

"And then, the teacher sent us to detention!" Lizzie said.

"We've had drama too, Shelby and Joey were fighting over Katherine!"

"WHAT?" I spluttered. "NO, WE WERE FIGHTING, BUT NOT OVER KATHERINE!"

"You called him a simp." Scott reminded me.

"YEAH CAUSE-" I began.

"Why hello Grace." Joey drawled.

"Don't even use my last name, you seaweed minded, fight-picking SIMP!" I shouted, getting off my bench. The breeze ruffled my hair. The field had no security cameras.

"Shut UP!" He growled, picking me up and slamming me against the wall. Blood dripped down my face. I swung my fist towards his nose. He let me go, clutching his bleeding nose. A crowd had formed, but no one got too close. He tried to kick me but I jumped neatly out of the way. Then something hit the side of my ribs and I saw black.

-Scott-

I grabbed Shelby by the arm and Lizzie did so with her other arm. She was bleeding and out cold.

"JOEY!" I screeched. "DID YOU HIT HER WITH YOUR METAL WATER BOTTLE?" 

"Oops." He smirked.

Joel, who was actually eleven foot 13, bellowed. "LISTEN HERE D*CKHEAD, IF YOU WEREN'T AN UGLY ASS B*TCH, MAYBE SOMEONE WOULD LIKE YOU SO YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO SIMP FOR KATHERINE ALL DAY!" 

Lizzie put her arm on his shoulder, but she looked absoloutely livid too.

I swung Shelby over my shoulder. I saw Joel spit in Joey's face.

"EWWWWWWW!" Joey cried.

We all trooped off the field. At this point the crowd had dispersed.

What a day.

565 is the word count.
