I'm heading back to school.

It's the last few days before I graduate from year 12 so, I'm a little excited. Especially to see Derek.

Today's style is light academia since the weather had to be so rainy and chilly.

A brown tank top paired with a brown plaid jacket. Complimented with beige linen shorts, brown socks and light brown ankle boots. My earrings are autumn themed as they are amber leaves and I switch my headband to a wider and dark brown colour band.

As I get my breakfast out of the fridge, I hear a notification alert from my phone and check it. It's an email from an anonymous email. I check the email to see photos and videos attached to the email. The email was labelled: No Wonder Why Mariah Got That Head Chef Position (Poor Brooke). The photos were of Professor Neuman and Mariah walking out of a hotel. Mariah had the same style of clothing as when I saw her at my workplace.

It clicked.

That little...

The video confirmed it all. A video of Professor Neuman and Mariah kissing near a bar at nighttime.

My jaw clenched and I slam the fridge door. Getting my bag and walking to the front door.

'You're skipping breakfast?' Dad was standing confused as I harshly clenched the door.

'I might.... come back home earlier today.' I try to hide my hostile aura and walk out closing the front door.

I don't think I've ever been this mad.

Not when I lost my toy at 6.

Not when I missed out on the school camping trip in year 5.

Not even when Derek took the position. And I thought that made me mad.

I arrived at school by public transport, and I walk through the school corridor. People saw me and immediately whispered amongst themselves. They all knew. They knew everything, but I didn't care.

The moment I saw Mariah, I stop myself from making an attack first. She saw me and immediately shouted, 'You?!'

'Why are you surprised?' I push her away from me.

A crowd gathered around us as we glared at each other with the sort of fury that warriors had back in the time.

Just calm down Brooke-

You know what, no! How am I supposed to be calm or be fine in this situation?

'You're so rude for even treating me like this. Ah! Who the hell do you think you are!?'

'I'm not friends with someone who sleeps with someone twice their age! Slut!' I shout, smirking.

I triggered her. Mariah throws the first punch and I feel a slight pain in my cheek. Biggest mistake.

I immediately punch her back, throwing her to the floor. Pulling her hair and punching as much as I can. The crowd got larger as more people took out their phones and recorded as I take out my anger on her.

'Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!' The crowd chanted as we fought each other.

'You had to go mess up everything, huh?!' I shout giving Mariah a bloody nose.

Principal Walter runs in and pulls me off Mariah as she starts to tear up. I hate the bits of sympathy that start to build up in me.

Only then do I notice the bloody tooth that rolled out of Mariah's mouth and ran across the corridor floor.

Crap.
