"You did not." Shawn says while wiping the blood off his mouth, and giving Ronnie a death glare.

"Of course I did Shawn, that's my girl you were messing with." Ronnie replies angrily.

"You asked for it." Shawn says as he dives in for a punch, this my dear was the beginning of world war III.

By now the whole school was watching as both boys, deepen into the fight like it was a personal grudge. Shawn pulls in and throws Ronnie of the floor, he was much more well built than Ronnie, but he was the unknown feared one.

As long as anyone could remember Shawn was the kid who never belonged. A kid who never got to talk to anyone, make amends. Not even in his own home, everyone has a story behind their coldness. What was his?

"Both of you, stop it now!" Tessa yells on top of her lungs making both the boys look at a crying Tessa who she was fuming red, the anger was filling inside her. First he kills people, hurts her and now he goes at her boyfriend, this was her limit.

"Stop." She says much softer this time but pretty much audible, now Tessa was the center of attraction.

She walks briskly towards Ronnie and helps him stand up, he limps as he tries to walk, the blows were pretty bad and was bleeding terribly.

"So you're going to take the offender's stand?" Shawn asks in utter disbelief.

"Excuse me?" Tessa stares at him as his eyebrows furrow and gives her a disgusted look.

"Go ahead Tessa, hide the fact that you have a darkness in you. You hide by pretending to be a good girl, a nice girlfriend and the Queen Bee in school. For all I know, all you do in your room is stare blankly at the wall for hours." he smirks.

The corridor - which was once swept with silence - filled with murmurs, looks were being thrown towards Tessa. All the people were judging her, but none knew why she did it ,why she would zone out.

"Don't you dare you mother-" Ronnie starts when he is abruptly cut off.

"He's not worth it Ron." Tessa tells him.

"But baby he just..." Ronnie continues when Tessa puts up her hand indicating him to stop talking.

"Mendes is a troubled kid, do you know where troubled kids end up? The Black Circle, that's where." Everyone gasps as Shawn looks at her unbelievably. The Black Circle was a name prohibited from using, a name feared by all. A name everyone knew about but decided to pretend like they didn't. The corridor falls silent as she continues.

"What happened Mendes? Did your parents not want you or was it your girlfriend that left you so depressed that you chose to join a bunch of ruthless hooligans whose motto is to slay all the damn time?" A red and teary eyed Tessa angrily blares.

"Don't do it." Neil warns, afraid of what Shawn would do.

"Neil don't shut me off now, you too know that the only family our dear Mendes will ever have is a bunch of murders, oh but let's not forget that he is one too. By the way that tattoo which represents your gang, it looks hilarious." she laughs.

"So why don't you get the fuck out, and bring your life together instead of abusing high school kids. You know what Mendes? I actually feel bad for you, you never got a high school girlfriend, never got to be on the football team, never..."

"That's enough." Neil decides to cut her off.

"Noo, I'm just getting started. Who died and made you like..."

The next thing everyone knew was a fuming Shawn walks out of the school. Trying to control his anger, holding back from smacking Tessa's face and throw her off the ground. He was trying so hard and the sad part is, no one understood how hard he was actually trying.

"Are you happy now?" Neil angrily asks as he lifts his arms to says that he gives up, revealing his tattoo that all the members of The Black Circle shared.

"What are you all looking at? Don't you have to go home?" He yells, as people disperse.

"You are going to regret this Tessa Gray, all of it. Mark my words." He says as he brushes past her shoulder to find Shawn.

The Black Circle, originally created as a non-bullying community had a long history. It had came a long way from there to the most feared group of people, boys and girls alike.

A place where victims were taught to fight back, shouldn't have done that. Well, some people make the wrong decisions and the wrong decisions lead to bad outcomes, thus formed the now The Black Circle.

Tessa shuts her eyes as she lets out a deep breath.
