Julie's POV

"I'll walk you to class" Jake told me as we walked through the hallways

"That would be nice" I said smiling

"You know.. I didn't get your number" he said shyly

"Is this you asking me for my number?" I said making him blush a little

"Do you give everyone a hard time when they ask for your number?" he said making me giggle

"No because you're the first person to ask for my number" I said taking him by surprise

"You've never given anyone your number?" he asked

"Nope I actually got this phone last week.. and look I only have 3 contacts, Joan, Cheryl, and Kimberley. would you like to be the forth" I asked him with a cheeky grin

"Id be honored" he said making me laugh and we exchanged numbers

"Cool phone by the way, I have the older one! that one just hit the market" he said talking about my phone

"I wouldn't know. Cheryl got it for me" I said with a shrug

"She seems nice" he said as we stood outside my classroom

"She is, so is Kimberley" I said with a smile

"I'm glad they make you happy, well you better get to class before you get told off" he took me by surprise and gave me a hug

"See you after class" he said confusing me

"I'll pick you up" he added smiling and walking away. He's so handsome. God he is such a gentlemen too. I thought to myself as I walked into my class

"Julie's gotta boyfriend" one girl in class said. She was popular in school and thought she ran it. If you asked me she was just a stuck up snobby rich girl, who spends her daddies money as if she's the one who worked hard for it

"He's not my boyfriend" I said back as I took my seat

"Yeah you're right.. no one would want to be with an ugly cow like you! whose foster parents are filthy dykes" she said making the class roar with laughter. That's it. I stormed up to her, face to face making her stand to my level

"What the fck is your problem!" I snapped

"You're my problem orphan girl" that's all she had to say. I pushed her to the ground and we went at it, punching each other, pulling each other's hair! she threw a punch then I threw a punch. I didn't know what was happening my adrenaline was at a high. Suddenly I felt a pair of hands on my waist pulling me off her

"Get off me!!!!" I screamed trying to get out of my teachers hold. Miranda(bully) charged at me once again throwing a final punch to my face before I kicked her hard in the jaw. The other students held Miranda back

"OFFICE!" My teacher yelled keeping hold of me and carried me to the principles office. I was sitting on one end of the office and Miranda on the other

"Don't fcking look at me!!" I screamed at her making her flick up her middle finger to me. Cheryl and Kimberley are going to kill me.

"You girls are in very big trouble" the receptionist warned us

Julie's POV

I could hear Cheryl and Kimberley before they even emerged from the office doors. Both out of breath and red in the face

"Cheryl Cole and Kimberley Walsh are your foster parents!?" A dumbstruck Miranda asked

"No the fcking King and Queen" I shot back

"That's enough!" Cheryl said making me slump back into my chair folding my hands across my chest

"What's happened here?" Kimberley asked the receptionist

"The principle will see you all in a minute. We are just waiting for Miranda's parents to arrive" the secretary informed Kim. She nodded her head and sat down next to me

"You're bleeding, come here" she said opening her purse and pulling out a napkin, dabbing at my split lip. She looked me in the eyes and sighed sadly once she was done cleaning me up

"Are you mad at me?" I whispered to her, while Cheryl was tapping her foot to the ground with her arms folded across her chest looking very impatient

"We'll talk later" she said in a disappointed tone and I just sat back in the chair looking down at my lap feeling the tears about to come

"Miranda!" I looked up to see what I'm guessing is her parents engulfing her into a hug, stroking her hair and kissing her as they turned around and glared at me

"I don't know what kind of image you're setting for your child but we do not tolerate fighting in my house! you best set a better example" the father said pointing his finger to Cheryl and Kimberley. that's all it took for Cheryl to blow up

"Fcking what!? My daughter did nothing here and we will soon find out! Don't you dare make assumptions when you know nothing about the situation" she spat back making him roll his eyes and take a seat next to his daughter and wife.

"The principal will see you now" we all stood up at once and headed into the office

"Please take a seat" there were 6 seats lined up next to each other I took a seat in between Cheryl and Kimberley

"I want an explanation as to what happened, Julie you can go first" she said

"She's just going to twist the whole story around! why does she get to go first!" Miranda said

"Miss Carson please be quiet" the principal ordered making her sulk in her seat. I took a deep breath and began to say my part

"My friend Jake had just walked me to my English class .. as soon as I took my seat Miranda screamed out in front of the whole class that 'I've got a boyfriend' I told her I didn't and of course her being the snobby, stuck up daddies--" the principal cut me off

"Please stick to the story Miss--"

"Julie" I said

"Please continue" she sighed

"She said some words I don't really want to repeat" I said looking at Cheryl and Kim and I think they figured out what it was

"We need to know exactly what was said. So I need you to say it" the principal said

"She said 'Yeah you're right.. no one would want to be with an ugly cow like you! whose foster parents are filthy dykes' and she went on to call me 'Orphan girl' so then I pushed her and we started physically fighting from there" I whispered looking down at my lap. I felt Kim and Cheryl rub my back to comfort me

"My daughter would never say something like that!" her father demanded

"Go on! ask her then! what did you say Miranda!?" I said. And all heads turned to her

"You clearly heard me wrong! I said 'no one like Jake would want to be with you.. because you're a foster child'" she said making me laugh

"Oh so you think that sounds better? What about calling me orphan girl!? did you mean to say 'stupid girl'?" I could see her clenching her jaw and I knew I had won this

"Looks like you should set a better example in your home Mr. Carson" Cheryl said to him earning a smirk from me

"And by the way we're living in the 21st century I don't know where your daughter gets her homophobia from but I can take a wild guess and think from who" Kim said

"That's enough" the principal said making us all turn our attention back to her

"Julie you will be sent home today and won't be returning until Wednesday" she said

"That's two days!! I have an art fair project to work on!" I said

"Well you should have thought of that before deciding fighting was the answer!" my principal shot back

"Oh and what would have been a better answer than that" I said getting upset

"Next time something like this happens you walk away and tell an adult to deal with it" she said calmly

"Yeah I guess you're right! except for the fact I'd be the laughing stock for the rest of my life! what kind of person does that! did you not hear the words that had just come out of her mouth!!!! aghhhhh!" I said and I stormed out of the office and ran to my art class

Cheryl's POV

"Well that says a lot" Miranda's mother said

"Shut your mouth! don't you dare speak about her!" I snapped back

"AS for Miss Carson you will be sent home for the rest of the week" she said

"What!?! a week! the school dance is on Friday!" Miranda said

"You will not be attending!" the principal said

"Me daughter is worried about a school art fair while she's worried about a dance! Ms...." I said not knowing the principals name

"Jackson" she replied

"Ms. Jackson surely you can at least allow her to come after school to work on her project?" I proposed

"Fine but that's the only time she will be allowed on school grounds" she said

"Thank you" I said standing up and shaking her hand

"Yeah give the pop star an incentive" Miranda's father said making me turn around and furrow me eyebrows

"You know what! you should mind your own!! take your homophobic daughter and go home" I said grabbing Kimbas hand and walking out of the office

"Where do you think she ran off to?" Kim asked looking around the hallway

"Let us text her" I said pulling out me phone

Me: Jules where are you?

She replied within seconds

Jules: Art class

"She went to her art class babe" I said looking for a teacher to ask where their art classes are

"Excuse me?" I called out to a faculty member

"Yes?" she replied

"Where are your art classes located?" I asked

"F hall" she replied and I thanked her. Kim and I speed walked to the art class that Julie will be in. We walked in and saw Jules speaking to her professor she looked like she had been crying, her eyes were puffy and red. When she saw us walking in she collected herself and turned around quickly wiping away her streak marks. I walked up to her and pulled her into me kissing her temple

"You okay?" I asked

Julie's POV

"Mhm" I numbered against her shoulder as Cheryl hugged me

"So you're the famous guardians of the talented Julie" professor Antonio said making me blush

"You've got a good one" he added winking at me giving me a little nudge on my arm

"Okay okay" I said

"Yeah I know she can sing too" Cheryl said taking me by surprise making my eyes go wide

"No I don't" I said making her smirk

"Sure you don't" she winked at me making me go red

"You should see the project she's working on right now! She's got amazing talent! took me by surprise" professor said

"Okay I think that's enough for today" I said making everyone laugh

"Oooo can we have a peak?" Kim asked hopeful

"No not yet" I said straight away getting a frown and a pout from Cheryl and Kim

"Can we go now please?" I said wanting to get out of here

"Come on then" Kim said taking my hand and leading us out of the class

"Bye professor!" I called over my shoulder

"Bye Jay have a nice little break" he said with a chuckle. He is the best mentor a girl could ever ask for.
