I barely made it to school on time the next morning. I only had about 4 hours of sleep, but they were much-needed hours of sleep. I hadn’t seen Paul, Lucy or Kayla yet today…
I need to tell Lucy about what happened…
As the day progressed, I didn’t see head or tail of Paul or Kay, but I did catch Lucy before lunch, and told her about the night before.
“Tom… I’m so sorry, that must’ve been horrible. I havent had it too easy either, but ill tell you about it later, k?”
“Alright”
I looked into her deep blue eyes and brushed away her sweet-scented blonde hair.
“I love you…”
She smiled warmly, “I love you too..”
She kissed me softly, and gave me a hug before leaving.

I walked into the cafeteria, and sat down at the table where Paul and I usually sat. I waited about half an hour before I saw him limp into the cafeteria. He sat down, and breathed hard. His right eye was black, and he had a bloody bandage wrapped around his right hand.
“Dude, what happened to you?”
