I was not necessarily surprised to see him there all beat up, but felt pissed off almost immediately. Then Ben noticed that I was there and he smiled this weird almost joker like smile. " You here to save your boyfriend?" Ben asked gesturing to the ground where Lance was. I took some walking steps forward and saw they were getting ready for an actual fight. I wasn't exactly best friends with Lance but he was the closest thing to a friend at this trashy school. I was still standing there trying to figure out what I was going to do. " Come on tough guy, you scared?" Ben asked in a taunting tone and the redhead smiled like an idiot. " No actually, I just don't think you guys are worth my time" I said still keeping a straight face but I knew there was only one way this situation would end and that was violently.

Ben scoffed " You're just being a wimp" Ben said still smiling his odd smile. Fine they asked for it I thought and closed the two feet in between me and them in one step and punched him with my right arm as hard as I could causing him to step back and almost fall down from surprise. However, the red head wasn't as surprised and quickly came to Ben's defense and grabbed my right arm only leaving me with my left are to defend myself with. I blocked his first blow the wrestled my arm right arm from his grip. I grabbed his shirt and drived my fist fight into his nose hearing a satisfying crack. But then Ben tackled me to the ground and got a good punch on me before I was able to get my arms up in defense and tried to kick him off but he was bigger than me so that would be a lot harder said than done. Ben got a second hit to the left side of my face but I pressed my hands to his chest shoving him off of me.

The redhead had managed to recover a bit and his nose was bent at an awkward angle and had small drops of blood coming from it. I wasted no time in getting a punch at Ben and hit him as hard as I could and caught him right under his chin and took a second swing with my left and hit his cheek making him fall down again. The redhead came from behind me and tried to put his arm around my throat to suffocate me which was a very cowardly tactic which I took full advantage of and gripped his arm that was around my neck and pulled with such force he had to let go and i came up quickly with a left uppercut and hit him. Then I finished him with a backhanded punch to the right side of his face and he toppled over like the red head.

Well that was fun. I then remembered Lance and turned to see him still slumped against the wall. I walked over to him quickly and leaned down " Aye man are you ok?" I asked although I knew it was obvious he was not ok but I really didn't know what else to say. " Just banged up" Lance said and tried to get up but groaned in pain. " Uh here give me your arm" I said and I put his arm over my shoulder helping him up. Normally I don't like helping people but Lance was nice enough and I sought any one else was going to help him. " Ok uh where's the nurse's office?" I asked and got him to stand with my help but he was having a hard time. " It's in the school, left of the main office" He answered and groaned again holding his ribs were, I suppose one of the two Jocks kicked him. We received numerous curious stars however none of the prefects or teachers thankfully saw.

I walked into the school and automatically saw Mr.Calloway who immediately rushed over and took Lance's other arm arm and draped it over his shoulder. " What happened?" He asked and we started slowly but surely making our way to the nurse's office. " He got beat up by some other big guys and I stopped it from getting worse" I said but left out the part where I beat almost beat the tar out of the two big kids. Mr. Calloway nodded but he seemed unfazed which likely meant he was used to it seeing as half the kids at this school were in fact mental delinquents.

The three of us entered the nurse's office who quickly helped Lance to one of the two medical beds in her office that was decorated with all kinds of health facts and such. " Alright I'll take it from here, thank you for bringing him" The nurse lady said but then consoled into a fit of coughing and covered her mouth. Oh great, a nurse that can't cure her own cold." Hey Royce don't you need to get checked up? " Mr.Calloway asked referring to my face that I knew was going to be bruised in the morning. " Nah I'm fine check him" I answered then left the nurse's office. There was no way I was going to be stuck in a room with that sneezing and coughing nurse thank you very much. However, my face did kind of hurt but I had gone through worse. What? Did you actually think I got out of every fight scottfree. Not even close, I don't even win every fight.

It was now like 1:00 o'clock and now that. My adrenaline from the fight was wearing off, I began to feel hungry. Therefore, I went to the cafeteria that I eventually found after about 10 minutes of searching. There were actually several people in there including a handful of greasers, a lone nerd,Info, two Jocks, and a small pack of Cheerleaders. Some people were looking at my face that likely looked like it had just gotten squashed by a small Elephant. I went to the lunch line that was pretty much empty and got a burger and a drink and sat down by myself. But I wasn't alone for long.

" So what car ran over your face?" Info's smooth voice asked and I couldn't help but smile. " One being driven by two Jocks " I answered and added " It ran over Lance too". Info's eyes widened " Hold up, your saying Lance got beat up again?" She asked no longer joking. " Yeah, he was being beat by those Jocks for money and I stopped it from getting worse" I said and took a bite from my burger that tasted bland and like nursing home food.

Info paused for a moment," Well thanks for helping him out man. Poor Lance, he always gets picked on by everyone. He's actually a nice guy" Info told me and I nodded in agreement. I may not know Lance all too well but he was nice enough and besides I got to beat up a couple Jocks and that should really get my name going around the school. " So I guess you already figured out all the cliques so far huh?" Info asked me and I just said yeah in response. " Well I'm gonna guess you don't know the individuals do you?" She asked me. "No, not at all" I answered and looked around at the people.

" Well over there" Info said pointing towards the area where 4 Cheerleaders sat " That blonde girl that looks like she just face planted in a cake because of all her makeup. Yeah she is Kayla Robinson, the leader of their club of mean girls" She told me and I ended up letting out a chuckle, this girl actually kind of funny, she had my sense of dark, dry humor. She just smiled and then pointed to the Greasers " Those guys are lead by a guy named Michael Berlin who currently isn't here but his second hand man is Roco Manson. He's that chucky looking guy in the middle" She told me. " Greasers were always a bit of a joke to me, they're just wannabes trying to look tough" I said and turned to her and she nodded pretty much agreeing. " Alright now for the King of the school" Info said the pointed to the Jocks and directly at this one huge kid. When say huge I mean colossal this guy had to 6'6, weight 310 , and had hands that looked like they could tear a man limb from limb and then rip his neck open. " That right there is Anatoli Stansfron, people call him "Tiny"" Info said and I my left brow. Tiny? What idiot came up with that name? Hopefully he doesn't take me beating up two of his fellow Jocks badly. I mean I'm not scared but just a bit concerned for my health if I end up fighting him because I doubt I'll have legs after that.....

" Yeah he is a Russian transfer student. He's actually not that bad of a guy just don't piss him off" Info warned me and I nodded in agreement. Of course he was Russian that made sense at least. Russian parents have some terrifying kids.

" So now that you've told me about them. Who are you?"I asked and she smirked. " I am the person you come to if you want revenge or some information on someone or something. Hence the name Info" She answered. " So you would just share a random person's personal information?" I asked creasing my brows in confusion. She shrugged " I don't do it a lot, but if you pay me enough I would do it. Especially if I disliked that person too" She answered " Besides normally only the Cheerleaders, nerds, and Jocks ask me for information anyway" She added. " The nerds ask you for information?" I asked in a disbelieving tone.

She smirked broadly " Occasionally they get fed up with taking crap from the Jocks so they get confident enough to come to me and hack into the Jocks online accounts, like Facebook, then I give them the Jocks pass codes and everything and they go to town" She answered indifferently. " Remind me to never piss you off" I said and finished off the hamburger and she just smiled. " Ok one more question" I said and Info nodded waiting for my question. " Why is Lance here? What did that kid do to be here?" I asked her. Info sighed "Lance's brother was a druggie in school and one day his brother decided to stay after school and Lance had to stay with him since he need his brother to drive him home. His brother had drugs on him and was talking to his friends when they got caught and Lance got in trouble. Lance's brother got arrested and Lance's parents had enough to deal with so they just sent Lance here. To the frozen waste land" Info explained and I nodded in understatement. " Wow, that's a lot" I said looked down.

After I finished I said goodbye to her and left going to my dorm room and layed down. I was tired and my face felt a lumpy sack of potatoes. Oh well, life sucks.
