I was walking down the sidewalk at night, like I do when I’m bored, and I noticed something going on in the parking lot of school. I pressed my fingers against the fence and leaned in to see if I could tell what was going on. I saw Dash’s car and knew it was nothing good.

I ran inside the parking lot to find Emmett and his people beating Cameron senselessly. “Stop it! Stop it!â€? I screamed at them, hitting Emmett’s arm. He shoved me off roughly and I fell to the ground. I yelled again from the ground and Emmett turned around to look at me in rage.

“Don’t tell me what to do, bitch.â€? He spit and something inside me cracked. I glared and kicked Emmett as hard as I could. It didn’t do that much damage except for his laughter as he moved away from the group.

“Stay away from me, Emmett.â€? I started to crawl away but he swung back and kicked me in the chest, hard. I screamed loudly, like the sound of an ambulance’s siren when it’s speeding down a street.

“Not her.â€? Someone whispered.
