It's been a week since Arden has been shot and she has healed nicely, only a little pain here and there while moving about but Arden feels much better even to make an appearance at school after been off for nearly two weeks. She has been running crazy looking at computer screens looking for any leads of the shooter and finding Liam missing sister, she refused to stay at home any more even though she knows it's the safest option at the moment however she's still capable to showing them she's not someone to mess with. Throwing on jeans and a baggy jumper trying not to show how much pain she's in, Arden jumps into her car in no rush to get to school, although she not told Liam and Evie about coming back, Arden knows she get a earful from both of them. While driving Arden can't shake the feeling that she's being followed after making a couple wrong turns, she shakes it off but what Arden doesn't know is someone is three car lengths behind watching on hoping they have the correct girl.
Already at school Liam is already in class with Evie next to him with Jason and Nate at the front of the class. As the teacher goes on and on Liam is close to closing his eyes but everyone jumps to there seat when Arden walks though the door as barging it open with a straight face, she has no emotion on her face, her eyes are stone cold but Liam and Jason faces shows more then enough emotion, both of them are pissed. Arden takes her seat in the far corner next to the Linda Riley who is still scared of Arden, as the class gets on, a man comes into the room giving the teacher a piece of paper as the teacher reads it, she clears her throat
"This is to someone in the room. I'm back in town little one, meet me where we first met, I look forward to our rematch" the teacher reads looking on the other side of the paper, everyone looks round the class looking for who it was aimed at and Arden knows exactly who's in town and where.
During lunch period Arden is stood by her locker ready to be grilled by Liam and Evie, she knows her friends all too well and know they come guns blazing. Arden sees Liam coming in the corner of her eye with a angry expression, as he walks up to her and slams her locker shut lucky enough no one is where to hear or see
"You shouldn't be at school, do you not remember someone shooting you?" Liam semi yells at Arden who just stands waiting for him to finish speaking with a bored face
"What if they come and finish the job while your at school or driving home" Liam is not happy she came even though he can't see no physical pain on her face he knows she's hurting somewhere inside
"I been at home for a while, I'm bored plus who stupid enough to shoot at a school, that causes red flags straight away" Arden says cutting in after hearing Liam yell at her, she's know he's only try to look after her but she doesn't need looking after. Annoyed Arden isn't listening Liam storms off as people walk though the corridor but as Arden turns around she sees Jason giving her the disappointed look, she could of taken more days off.
Looking though the halls Josie has spotted Arden, after hearing that her brother shot her, she's surprise she shown her face back to school after a short spam of being off, looking at Arden for over a minute she sees Jason and her make eye contact making Josie mad. Annoyed at the circumstances Josie walks down the hall barging into the back of Arden knowing the side to hit, she definitely knows she hit it as Arden face changes into a little discomfort frown. Arden turns round to see Josie and her little minion of a friend
"Watch it, your parents not teach you any decently of watching where your going" Josie spits out, she is unaware of Arden parents being killed and with her talking about Arden parents isn't going to go down well, it's a death wish. Evie is stood in the background and once she hears Arden parents get bought in it, she runs after Liam who hasn't gone far, running into the dining hall Evie spots Liam
"Liam, Arden and Josie are about to fight" Evie says a little loud as everyone is already in the corridor looking for the fight
"Josie mentioned Arden parents" Evie says catching her breath, Liam is already out his seat and running to Arden, he doesn't want to see Arden fight with how injury she is
"Didn't your parents tell you to keep your legs shut w***e. Oh yes that's right your mummy or dad don't care or they would of taught you some manners about sleeping with every Tom, d**k and Harry" Arden fires back holding her arms back from knocking some common sense into Josie and her minion, Josie didn't like how Arden is talking about her and punches where she got shot catching Arden by surprised, but Arden doesn't hold back even with hurting and grabs Josie by the throat slamming her into the lockers, Josie face is turning red, she's already struggling to catch her breath and Arden knows that, deciding to drop her on the floor Arden waits for her to get back to her feet before throwing a punch in her stomach then kneeing her in her face, knocking her straight out but Arden doesn't stop there, she throws a heavy punch straight towards her minion knocking her out with one punch.
"Don't you ever talking about me or my family you worthless piece of s**t" Arden screams, The whole school have turned up and seen the fight with teachers running into the crowd
"My office now!" The principle yells looking at Josie and Arden, but his eyes widen when Blood starts showing on Arden jumped
"s**t" Liam is quick on his feet catching Arden and putting pressure on the wound.
By the time Arden has been restitched by a nurse she makes her way to the principe office with Josie holding an ice bag on her head, walking into the room, two more figures are standing on one side of the room
"Take a seat Arden, I spoken to the nurse and apparently you shouldn't be in school with that wound of your stomach and Josie take the other seat" the principal says calmly not wanting to turn grey just yet but as Arden checks the room she knows the two figures are Josie parents.
"Are we waiting for Arden parents then or we going to get straight into it?" A man says from behind of Josie, his face shows everything he's annoyed he got dragged here
"Unfortunately I couldn't get a hold of her parents so let's start, care to tell me why you two was fighting in the hall?" The principal looking in between both the girls
"My parents don't have phones when they are buried six foot under but you can keep trying if you wish...I never throw the first punch either I was acting in self defence" Arden says with a straight face looking directly in the principal eyes, showing no signs of lying
"I was minding my own business when she come over and attacked me" Josie fakes cry as tears roll down her face catching her mother attention, Arden rolls her eyes annoyed
"What kind of parents raise a girl to be so brutal and beats people up, they must be turning in there grave. We are going to Sue you" Josie mother frowns handing Josie some tissue.
Arden is having know of it, pulling a laptop out her bag Arden shows Josie parents the footage of the fight, while the parents and principal watch it, Arden sits back with a grin on her face, after the footage has finished they turn round to her
"Nothing to say? I told you it was self defence but you decide to bring my parents into the matter. But if we talking about parents let talk about you two, a mother wrongly accused people without proof and a father who doesn't want to be here. Do you not teach your daughter any manners at home, do you even give your daughter any attention either? You know what I think I might sue" Arden says looking Josie parents dead in the eyes, the principle doesn't know whether to be scared or actually shitting himself, after watching how Arden fights he doesn't want to get on the wrong side but he knows he has to punish both.
"Your both getting suspended for a week, Josie for attacking Arden and Arden you attacked a bystander" the principal says catching everyone attention, Arden actually couldn't care and takes the punishment as she gets to spend a week at home looking for the shooter.
Walking out the principal office Arden sees Liam stood by the wall waiting for her but instead of either of them talking, they both walk outside with Josie and her parents not far behind
"How do you plan on suing us without a good lawyer? We can get this shut down straight away, we will buy the school and have you expelled" Josie mother speaks up again knowing she's got nothing to worry about
"Who do you think owns the school already, you must be delusional if you think I'm some poor orphan" Arden says walking off laughing, her parents bought the school knowing that she get in trouble. As Arden looks at her phone she knows where she has to be once the sun sets.
