Chapter 8: The Fight At Lunch!

(Ember's POV)

"Hey Blake, Hey Dylan. Are you guys okay, I heard what happened in Mrs.Peterson's class.", what I assume is the leader of those 4. I look over at Blake and Dylan looking at us for help ut made me giggle a little, then I look over at Yasmine and Aaron giving these 4 a 'bitch are you for real' look.

They give Yasmine and Aaron looks of disgust and then they see me and I roll my eyes cause this always happens. The populars say sorry for their actions then introduce themselves and then try to make me join them, all cause I'm supposedly a different kinda beautiful.

"I'm so sorry for our behavior.", she says see what did I tell ya.

"My name is Mackenzie this is Lauren, Ashley, and Kelly. It's nice to meet you.....", she trails off and I roll my eyes holding my hand out for her to shake.

"Ember Jones.", I say she grabs my hand and I give her a firm hand shake like I always do when I give somebody a hand shake. She gives me a painful look and I let go.

"Would we wanna drop these guys and be apart of our group since I mean, you totally don't fit in with this group.", she says making me to roll my eyes and laugh.

"Wow, I hate plastic barbies especially the real life talking ones.", I say and she looks at me angrily. I laugh some more as she lifts her fist ready to punch me as I go back to eating.

"Um, you might not wanna do that.", I tell her and she tries to deliver the blow anyways but I grab her fist causing to stop.

I get up and look her straight in the eyes.

"I told you, you might not wanna do that. I'm not gonna hurt you cause if I do that means bye bye future for me but since I'm really really angry right now, I might just do it.", I say through gritted teeth but I think of being a hair bit generous.

"But, since I'm feeling a little generous I'm gonna give you about 10 seconds to get out of mine and my friend's faces before I beat yours in right along with your little minions.", I say and she nods out of fear.

I push her letting go of her hand and she stumbles back a little as I sit back down in my seat.

"Y-you're g-going to re-regret that.", she stutters and I roll my eyes turning around to look at her.

"That's what they all say but yet here I am.", I say going back to eating as she storms off.

"Wow, you handle that pretty.....", Dylan trails off looking for the eight words.

"Well. I know, I'm used to it, always the populars trying to get me to sude with them.", I say and they nodded.

For the rest of the lunch period we talked, made jokes, laughed, ect. When the bell went off we went to our next classes.

------Time Skip To After Classes--------------

I'm on my way to my dorm when I feel somebody grab my arm and pull me into a room.

"What the bloody hell!", I exclaim then feel a hand being placed over my mouth.

"It's me, suprise.", I hear that Mackenzie girl say. My eyes widen a little out of shock then I bring myself back to reality.

I grab her by her wrist spin her around to where I have her arm wrapped around her throat.

"What the hell do you want?!", I exclaim and she chokes out a laugh.

"I read your file. You're quite the trouble maker with a pretty bad past aren't ya.", she says I could her the smirk in her voice.

"So what, what are ya gonna do with it?", I ask and she smiles.

"I'm gonna tell everybody.", she says and my eyes go wide then after a second of thinking I make her arm tighten more around her throat

"You're not allowed to go through people's files.", I tell her and she laughs.

"Perks if being of being the princess of the school.", she says and I let go of her.

"What the hell do you want from me?!", I whisper yell.

"I want you to be apart of my group.", she says

"What if I refuse?", i ask and she smirks

"I think you already know.", she says

"I don't care leak all my info, I'm not gonna be part of what ever you are.", I say walking out of the room and running to my dorm.

When I got to my dorm I opened it and slammed it shut almost out of breath.

"What the hell happened to you?", I hear Dylan ask. He's actually the only person in here.

"She knows and she gonna leak everything.", I say sliding down the door and onto the floor.

I pull my legs up to my chest and wrap one arm around them and place the other on top. I lay my head down and start to cry silently.

"Okay, calm down-", he goes to say something else but I cut him off.

"Calm down.", I laugh out starting to get angry I stand up and wipe my tears away.

"How the hell am I supposed to calm down?! She knows everything, all my info and everything!", I yell and punch the wall making a hole in it.

Dylan walks over to me and hugs me. I don't normally like people touching me but I felt like I needed this hug.

"Who are you talking about?", he asks calmly.

"M-Mackenzie said she read my file and now if I don't join her group she's gonna leak everything. I told her I didn't care but you guys are the only ones besides my mom who knows about my past, and it was hard enough to keep myself from breaking but now, I don't know what to do.", I say hang on to him as if my life depended on it.

He picked me up bridal style and he sat down on his bed.

"Hey, it'll be okay, you have us and even though we haven't known each other for that long I know that, you're the most strongest person I've ever came across. I mean if I had gone through what you went through I probably wouldn't be here yet here you are and even though you have nightmares about what happened to you, you still try to stay strong.", he says I bare my face into his chest and nod.

"Th-thank you.", I mumble out letting go of him wiping away my tears and getting up.

"I needed that.", I say and nods. I walk over to my dresser and grab my underwear out then go to my closet and grab out my dark hoodie and my jammie shorts from off the floor. I grab my things so I can take a shower.

"I'll be back.", I say and walk to the bathrooms.

I take my clothes off setting my clean clothes to the side. I get in the shower and look at my arms.

Triggering Scene Ahead:

As I look down at my arms I get the urge to do what I used to. I try to fight the urge but I couldn't win.

I used my nails and started to scratch and scratch until I made a burn mark then I did it again and again and again until I heard a knock on the stall.

"Ember, are you okay?", I hear Yasmine ask.

"Yeah.", I say looking at the some what bleeding burns.

"Okay, Dylan said you've been in here for 2 and a half hours.", Aaron said.

"Okay, give me 30 minutes and I'll be out.", I tell them and they walked out.

I started to cry quietly and then started to wash my hair then scrub my body. After I was done I got out and brushed my teeth and then got dressed.

As soon as I walked out Yasmine and Aaron pulled my sleeves up and I winced from the pain.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't..... It's so hard to....", I didn't finished and I just shook their hands off and pulled my sleeves back down.

I walk into my dorm and went straight to my bed. The door opened and I grabbed my stuff animal and pulled my blanket over my head after pulling my hoodie over my head.

I felt somebody sit on my bed.

"Don't even try touching me.", I said harshly not meaning to. I take the blanket off me and sit up.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to it was the urge that I had to do it, I didn't want to but I had to.", I say and I feel somebody try to hug me.

"Don't even try me.", I say and I heard giggling.

"Let's go to sleep, and you.", I hear Dylan say.

"You try to get at least a little bit of sleep.", he says and I dismissively wave him off.

"4 hours is a really good amount of time.", I say laying back on my bed.

"Goodnight guys.", I say ad they all say goodnight back.
