24: arrested, school, and home?

*Tolops pov*
I was up half the night minding Sal and living with the fact that instead of one child, she's bearing TWINS. I finally got to sleep at 3am. To my surprise, Sal was up before the eight thirty alarm. She shoved on one of my hoodies and wore her green shorts. Yes, I'm aware that this isn't the school uniform, but no, I don't care she says. You won't get away with that Sal, even though you are a new student. I yawn. The door knocks. Sal opens it. Not right now she says, but the people still manage to come in. A little privacy I yell. Then I realize. It's the police. You deliberately knocked into this young female yesterday. We place you under arrest one police says. Me and Sal look at each other. I most certainly did not. I reply. We need photos. Into the bathroom the other police says. I don't see the point in arguing so I get out of bed and go to the bathroom. We need full body photos one says the minute he locks the door. I close my eyes and bit my lips. I'm not wearing anything in my chest. Now I'm not wearing anything from my waist down. I cover my eyes. We hear a knock. I know it's Sal. I need to brush my teeth she yells and the handle rattles. It's locked. She tries three more times before admitting defeat. Tolop, I'm going to school. So see you there? She asks. I hope so I yell back.

*Sals pov*
I walk to school. You late too? Chirps Andi into my ear. Nothing new I laugh. What happened your nose? She asks. Melissa's car I reply as we turn the corner. Melissa is there with her friends. You are one sick twisted bitch. How could you do that to poor Tolop? I ask her. Wouldn't you like to know!? She laughs. I hated her at that very moment. I swing my non injured hand into her mouth. She stumbles back, shocked. Me and Andi head on. That was really brave what you did back there. I hate her too Andi tells me. We go into the school. Everyone is smiling and yelling at each other or getting books and doing incomplete homework. Hi Sal! And Andi! How's the nose? Yells Shima, running up to us. Later I hiss. The bell goes for first class: Music. Hello everyone. Hope y'all had a nice weekend cheers Mrs. O Harvey. No I think to myself. Take out your homework she says and turns around to write on the board: Things that signify music. I sit at the back of the class. I take out my phone and start scrolling through my Instagram feed. Sal, put that away Yells Mrs Harvey. I put it in my pocket. You're not even wearing the correct uniform. That's a detention she yells again. Play it cool And whispers to me. I swing my legs onto the desk. Legs off the furniture she shouts again, face going red. The entire class turns around to look at me. With my luck, Two of Melissa's friends are in the same class. Hand me your phone she says, palm hovering near me. I grab a hunk of chewed gum out from under the desk and hand it to her. Two detentions she declares, going out the bathroom to wash her hands. Chat immediately starts up. You tell her, Sal. You're so tough, smart talking to her two guys tell me. I put my legs back on the table and take out my phone. The door reopens. It's not Mrs Harvey. It's Mr. Jayden. He goes straight up to the desk. The girl called Sal please come up he whispers across the classroom. It's the type of whisper that makes anyone quiet. I go up. You have a good opinion on what to do in class and what not to do he says sarcastically. Right you are I reply. This girl- he begins. All eyes are on me again. You know what? I give up on this class. I'm leaving I say and walk down the classroom. I get my back and walk out nonchalantly. I go to the bathroom. I throw up. I go out. I dunno how I missed her coming in, but Melissa is there, doing her makeup. You wear too much makeup I tell her. That an opinion or a fact? She asks, now applying mascara. Fact I reply. Listen, if you know what's good for you, I'd keep my mouth shut otherwise I'd expose you she replies. Man, you're a bit grumpy today I say before going outside. The bell went for the next class: Domestic science. At least Hellbent is there. The regular teacher wasn't in so the subsitute let us do whatever. I talked with Hellbent. Tolop got arrested this morning I say to Hellbent. What? Why? He asks back. Apprantely, he was the one that crashed into me yesterday. I mean, what the fuck, like? I tell him again. Melissa was the one that crashed into you, not Tolop he responds. Just saying, better be careful, because she wants you and the rest to be in jail or something I hiss. He nods. The bell goes for lunch. Dolan is at the vending machine with Shima. Hey Sal. What's up? You seem down Dolan says. Tolop got arrested I reply. Melissa lied to the police chimes in Hellbent. I'll talk to her. She'll listen to me Dolan replies.

*Dolan's pov*
*Time lapse to the last class*
The school day dragged on. The last class was English. At least Me and Sal are in that class.We sit together next to the kid with cerebral palsy. Rhiona. She's ok, she's nice. Melissa is behind us with three of her friends. Last class of the day. Take out Romeo and Juliet and read from chapter one to chapter five. Directs Mr. Diego. He goes to the laptop and puts on that famous quote Romeo. Where art thou, Romeo. I put my head in my hands. Every week, every day we are in English class he puts that one. Melissa starts whispering to her friends. Sal takes out her phone. Rhiona, starts yelling. What's the crying about? Asks Mr. Diego. He gently rolls his "R"s. Nothing, Rhiona just wants attention remarks Melissa and laughs. You gonna do something Sal? You're know for speaking your opinion I whisper to Sal. As if on cue, she stands up. Incorrect uniform declares Mr Diego, putting up the laptop sound louder. Im not aware of that at all she says sarcastically. Everyone stops reading. All eyes are on Sal. I put my hand on Rhionas shoulder. No backtalk he replies. Rhiona starts moaning. She takes my hand and holds it. Eww Melissa's friend whispers to her. So you're just ignore the fact that there's an upset kid in your class? She yells. She walks up to the front of the class. Rhiona is crying. And you know what I think? It's because you play that ridiculous quote all the freaking time. Try putting on decent music. She takes out her phone and puts on Livin La Vida Loca . Rhiona stops crying. Also, you have girls like her in your class she says, walking down the classroom and pointing theatrically at Melissa and her friends. Rhiona has no clue what goes on. What does she know about feelings? Asks Melissa. She has more ideas than you ever will. Does it not occur to you that there is so much to a person than just looking at them? You ought to know that by looking in the mirror. Also, you  think that just because she uses a wheelchair that means she can't think for herself Sal says back. Oh, burn whispers Sweet commando, buy everyone hears him. All eyes follow her, wondering what she'll say next. Sal, stay behind after class Mr Diego says. He rubs his forehead. Sal sits back down on her chair. Everyone looks at her. What chu looking at? Take a picture it'll last longer she snaps to them. They turn around. The bell goes and everyone rushes out. I push Rhiona out. Sal goes up to the desk.

*Sals pov"
I walk up to the desk, feeling good. That was a nice speech you said during class says Mr Diego. I say nothing. You could become a speech speaker he continues. But I can't have you yelling like that during class. He finishes. Alright I reply. He gets up out of his chair. He looks me up and down. He advances towards me. Were you a model sometime in your life? He asks, advancing towards me even more. None of your business I reply. I push myself up against the wall. He pins his hands either side of me on the wall.
Sir, what the actual fuck are you doing? I ask. He puts his hands on my waist and throws me on a table. Get off me I yell. He leans closer, lips getting ready to kiss me...










Hey what's that? I yell. He looks around. I jump off the table and go to the door. He realizes what I did and manages to grab my arms. He pins me against a wall. Dolan! Hellbent, help me I shout. I nut kick him and he stumbles backwards, clutching his nuts. I run to the emergency exit. No, you're not getting away unless I kiss you he hisses running up to me. He pushes me to the ground and leans closer. I have a kid  growing in here I say, pointing at my stomach. He doesn't pay attention. He leans closer to my face. I roll my head sideways and he kisses the dirty floor. He disconnects from it. He stares at me livid. You asked for it he hisses. I scramble up and try jumping over the desk. He catches my rib cage. He shoves me against a desk. He wraps one hand around my throat. Sal? Sal are okay? Comes a student voice. I look. It's Hellbent! At that very moment I'm grateful for him. No...he wants to kiss me I squeak. He clutches my throat tighter and holds his fist back. I hold my hands up to my nose and close my eyes, getting prepared. No you're not gonna do that to my girlfriend shouts Hellbent, running across the room. He wrestles him to the ground. Go Hellbent says. I run out and wait for him. I run into Dolan. He sees my red face. Hellbent is in the English room I gasp. He runs to the English room. I look at the time. Four thirty. I rub my stomach. I feel the kids breathing. Don't worry, Mama's not gonna let any harm come to you I whisper. Sal, are you alright? Yells Hellbent, running towards me. Sure I reply. Dolan has already left. Wanna get ice cream or anything? He asks. No, I want home I reply. We start walking down the open hallway. The sun shines in on me. If police come to you later, just lie your way out of it. They already arrested Tolop I tell Hellbent. I look at him. Tell you what. On Halloween night, we'll go to a nightmare realm, I know a good place I smile. We arrive at the apartments. I run up to my room. I sit on my bed. I look around. It's funny to think that in a few months this place probably won't even be a home anyway.
