Hailey cried, the first time I saw such tormented tears from her beautiful green eyes. I sat there, watching this situation anxiously, there was nothing I could do, I wanted to protect myself but fear can. Miss Bennett held her hand with all her might and pulled her out of the classroom. The lesson came out in those seconds, I didn't even think about it and I pushed back. I saw how a crying girl crawled into his office. I approached the room and listened, I heard a non-stop cry and a frightened voice:
- Please, do not shout at me, Grandma
-dirty girl, I have never been and will never be your grandmother, remember well that from now on, even if you address me like this, you will not stay alive!
When Miss Bennett finished cursing her, I looked in the small hole in the door and could not see everything in full but I saw how she handed the key to Hale and said:
- That's why I took you out, I have to go to work today and you have to lock this cabinet. I warn you not to forget otherwise you will be thrown away on a black day.
- alright, Miss Margaret,- Hailey replied
- Very good, now go back to the classroom
I stepped back as soon as Hailey came out of the office, hugged me, I knew how much he hated the woman, how much his heart ached when his mother was mentioned, she wanted to be a simple girl with little problems and loving parents but it did not happen.
I calmed Hale and we went back to class, I looked into her eyes as if she wanted revenge and at that moment she said to me silently:
- I will not save my grandmother from such an attitude. Especially when it comes to my mother, I do not want to hear a single word about her. The key to her cabinet is here, when she leaves we silently sneak in and delete from her computer a project she has been doing for weeks. Deleting that file is tantamount to dismissing it.
- I will be by your side, we will do it together.
We were children then, we did not think what the consequences might be of this decision. Hale the devil would carry on his will, and I as a friend would take any action for her sake. We could not choose between good and bad, we just did what we thought was right.
In the evening, we sat in Hale's room, we had already made a plan, we suddenly heard footsteps. I quickly hid under the bed. The door opened and Margaret Bennett came in with her half-torn dress, didn't you want to change?
- who are you talking to? I heard something - asked Miss Bennett
- My toy
Miss Bennett asked in a surprised voice:
- A toy? You are already 14 years old, you no longer need dolls, give them to me here!
- Yes, but..
- No, but give me a doll!
Hailey stretched out without talking too much, this doll was not important to her either.
- I have already passed, lock the cabinet in 1 hour.
- Okay Miss Bennett.
Miss Bennett walked out of the room, and I got out of bed and asked Hale.
- Are you sure you want to do this?
- Hazel, we have been friends for 6 years, you know very well what a ruthless woman my grandmother is. I do not even want to mention his name. I will have no more chance either now or never. Are you with me?
- not doubt i am with you
Whether I said that, she hugged me and she said:
- Without you, I can not imagine life, thank you that no matter what, you will always be by my side. The only person who cared for me was my mother, but she is no longer in this country. After his death I no longer had any hope at all if there appeared to be anyone who cared about me as much as I did, but I was wrong. Hazel promised me that no matter what happens, there will never be a rift between us.
- I promise you Hale. Hazel and Hale always.
- Always.
It is 10 o'clock at night, at this time all the rooms are crowded, the corridor is completely cozy, we do not even have a bailiff because Miss Bennett has taken care of everything. Calmness, cleanliness and other school needs are what they demand, that is what he leads. Except for the organizer, who is run by the principal's wife, Miss Brown, but she rarely visits our school.
We entered Miss Bennett's office, the light was still on and the computer was left on. Haley started searching for the file we needed to delete. A few minutes passed and he was still looking. Suddenly I hear the sound of the front door and I tell Hale:
- I will go and check if anyone is there
- Good, but fast
Our school has two entrances and I also chose to go with the other one because I did not have to go through the school. I go, I look here and there, no one. At this point I hear Hale scream:
- Grandma let me go
Soon I was back but I did not enter, the doors were slightly open so I was watching from there this horror, I do not know what happened that day, what happened to that fearless Hazel Gray, the things that kept her from protecting her friend. I watch my grandmother beat Hale, tears coming from the place I can not take. Bebiamis says:
- Did you really think that you could delete my file, I am not such a fool, unlike you. Who else was with you?
- Nobody
- Do not lie!
- There was really no one, I came in alone
Miss Bennett rubbed Silas in the face, Hale's face was completely bruised. She was beating non-stop, blood was coming from her lips.
- Listen carefully, your sentence will be like this, for the next 1 week you will wash the whole dining room dishes, do you understand me !?
- Yes, Miss Margaret
- Get out of here now, you have to thank me for not killing you
Hailey came out of her office crying again and we went to her room together. I put cold ice on my face and asked:
- Why didn't you say that I was with you, why ?!
- Would you say?
- No.
- Well, I did the same. I could not move in your place, I was scared, forget about nothing, the main thing is that I am fine now
- I feel guilty Forgive me Hale
- Please, do not say that, it is too late, it is better to go to the room and go to sleep
- By no means do I want to convey that I recommend for the mother to be inactive for another week. Nothing he told me has already been decided.
We have not spoken so sincerely since this story, because we do nothing more than laugh.
