A Fight to Finish

Chapter 18

I punch and punch till I realize I'm not wearing gloves and my knuckles are torn and bleeding. I hiss as I feel the pain. I get back home and don't bother to dress the wound. I freshen up and have dinner at MacDonalds. Despite the nagging pain, I lie on my bed and sleep off.

I get up to prepare for school, the thoughts of yesterday comes flooding back to my mind and I wonder why it's bothering me anyways. I shake my head to take them out though they keep coming back once in awhile. I enter the hallways and notice some girls staring at me with nasty glares, I wonder what's wrong but I push it aside and go to class. I enter class and notice the popular girls and wannabe's staring at me, too many stink eyes makes me uncomfortable and I leave the class. I sit on the bleachers, my safe haven, to get some fresh air. I see the boys on the field doing some lapses. Coach Robin is really making them work hard for the upcoming match. I stare at my hands and my knuckles are torn and busted, white flesh is on the surface but I don't mind. I'm so hungry cause I skipped breakfast. As I walk through the hallways to get to the cafeteria, I see some of the cheerleaders and popular's hanging in the hallways and whispering among themselves. “So it's been you” Meredith, a cheerleader walks up to me boldly. “Me what” I ask her “so you're the b***h, how sweet are you down there that you steal Nick from us” she snarls “So this is what it's all about, you're wrong, I don't have anything with him, if you want him, he's all yours” I say and want to walk away but she pulls me back. “Liar!” another girl spits. “I was the one with him yesterday, I saw it” “don't get on my nerves this afternoon, excuse me” I seethe and walk away but she grabs me again and this time, I grip her and throw her against the wall

“We'll show you the hard way, pumpkin” Veronica spits “girls!” she orders and they start walking towards me. I feel someone hit my back and I turn and blow her hard on her nose and she falls. They start fighting me but I deal with them one by one. Stacey hits me on my mouth and I give her a huge punch on her eye and she screams. I angrily storm into the bathroom to wash my bleeding mouth. I see a gash on my head and I punch the mirror causing more blood to spill from my knuckles. I wash my hands and go to the cafeteria. 'All cause of that asshole’ I say and walk to my seat where the others are. I burn when I see Nick. “Jeez D, where have you been” Alysa asks “what's with the gash on your head” Liam asks, “s**t, Dallas, your knuckles are bleeding” Blake gasps. “Let's go to the nurse” he adds. “I'm fine” I say not looking at anyone especially Nick. “No, you're not” he finally perks up. “Mind your business” I seethe “um, are you okay” Lysa asks, “nah, she's upset” Leo says “how do you know” Liam asks “it's obvious, she's red and her forehead vein is popping out” “true” Lysa says. “Dallas, you're bleeding, you're not fine” Nick says “you better shut the f**k up and leave me alone” I say seriously. Principal Hathaway walks into the cafeteria and I know I'm in big trouble. “Miss Dexter, to my office” he says and Alysa mouths “what did you do” as well as the boys and I don't bother answering, I just follow Mr Hathaway to his office to explain myself.
