Chapter 61: Do Not Touch My Daughter

Emily woke Bella up to go to school that Friday morning and the girl was not happy about it.

"I don't wanna go" Bella said as her eyes filled with tears. Bella hid her face on her bear as she realized she was about to cry.

Emily knew the kid was probably scared of Vanessa.
"Alright. Just today, okay?" Emily said sitting on the bed next to the girl.

"Really?" Bella asked looking at Emily in disbelief.

"Really" Emily smiled. "But none of this next week" she added.

"Okay" Bella said.

"Go back to sleep. I'll be right back." Emily said, gave Bella's head a kiss and walked out of the bedroom. She went to the kitchen to get breakfast and called Hotch. She explained she would meet the principal later and asked if it was okay if she worked from home. Hotch cleared her so she went back upstairs with a bowl of cereal for Bella.

"Hey. I got food" Emily said sitting next to Isabella. The girl sat up and took the bowl. She made a face as her back hurt.

"Does it still hurt?" Emily asked trying to hide her anger.

"a little bit" Bella said and Emily gave the girl a small smile.

"You're not going to work?" Bella asked as Emily covered herself with a blanket.

"No. We're staying home today" Emily said.

"We are?" Bella asked happy.

"Yes" Emily smiled.

Bella ate her cereal as they watched some tv. When the girl was done, Emily decided they should talk a little about what had happened.

"Honey, I told the principal what happened and he scheduled a meeting for today at 4" Emily said and Bella didn't look very happy about it. "Look, I know it's scary but we have to talk to him"

"Mom, he can't help. Why can't anyone understand?" Bella said upset and turned her back to Emily.

"Bells. He will help. Even if I have to force him somehow" Emily said serious. Bella knew she wasn't joking.

Isabella laid her head on Emily's lap. "I just don't want it to get worse" the girl said.

"Don't worry baby" Emily said soothing Bella's hair.

The morning went fine for Emily and Isabella. They stayed home and watched tv and played some games on Bella's ipad together, it was fun. Isabella liked having that time with her mother.
Emily made steak and fries for lunch and Bella loved it.
Later in the afternoon, Emily told Bella to go get ready because they had to go to the school.

"Can I ask uncle Morgan to go with us?" Bella asked.
Emily could see the girl was nervous.

"Go get ready and I'll call him" Emily said.

"Okay" Bella said and went to take a shower.

Emily called Derek because she knew that if Bella called he would feel bad and say yes even if he was really busy. So she called and for her luck he was just working on some papers he had to finish so he said he would pick them up.

"Thank you so much Derek" Emily said.

"No worries" he said.

Emily smiled; they said their goodbyes and hung up. She changed quickly and went to Isabella's bedroom.
Emily walked inside to find the girl brushing her hair in front of her vanity. She had a navy blue dress on, black tights and her black docs.

"Do you want some help?" Emily asked as she noticed the girl's face. Her back was hurting a little as she brushed her hair.

"Yeah" Bella said and handed the comb to Emily.

"Do you want a braid?" Emily asked.

"No. Just leave it down, my head hurts" Bella said.

Emily finished brushing the girl's hair and suddenly the doorbell rang.

"Are you waiting for someone?" Bella asked.

"Morgan said he'd come pick us up" Emily smiled.

"He is?" Bella asked excited.

"Yes" Emily smiled. "Let's go?" She said and Bella nodded, got her coat and they headed down.

"Hello princess" Derek told Bella as Emily opened the door and Bella smiled at him.

"Thank you" Bella said and hugged him.

Emily and Morgan smiled. Derek took Isabella's hand and they headed to the school.

CMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCM

As they entered the big building, Bella couldn't hide how nervous she was. She really didn't want to talk about everything that happened.
They went to the principal's office and he was waiting for them.

"Come on in" Carl Jones, the principal, said.

They went in. Emily and Derek sat and Emily pulled Bella to her lap.

"This is Isabella's uncle" Emily said not sure of how she should introduce Derek.

"Derek Morgan, sir" Morgan said and shook the man's hand.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Excuse me" Carl told them and walked to the door.

"Hi" Marion, the French teacher said.

"Oh come on in" Carl said. "This is Miss Marion, our French teacher. Is it alright if she's here while we talk?" He asked and Derek and Emily just looked at Bella who nodded yes. The teacher sat on a couch in the corner of the room.

"So Miss Marion told me yesterday about an incident before art class and later on you called me, Miss Prentiss" the principal started. "You've mentioned that your daughter fell and got hurt so if you don't mind I'd like the school nurse to take a look. Just to make sure it's not a serious injury." He said.

"Is that okay, honey?" Emily asked Bella who nodded shyly as her eyes filled with tears.

"Alright. So Bella do you mind if I asked you a few questions about what has been going on?" Carl said and Bella just looked at Emily.

"It's okay, Bells" Emily said noticing Bella was extremely nervous. Since the girl didn't say anything, Emily looked at the principal in a way of telling him to go on and ask.

"Do you remember when exactly this started?" He asked.

"A long time ago" Bella said looking at the floor.

"How long?" Emily said giving the girl's hand a squeeze.
Bella just hugged Emily and started crying.

"Oh honey. Come on. He can help" Emily said.

"It was right when I came, remember?" Bella said.

"Alright" the principal said and wrote it down. "And who bullied you?" He asked.

Bella stayed quiet.

"Vanessa and.." Emily started.

"Mom" Bella cried. She was so scared the girls would get mad at her.

"Look at me" Emily said and Bella sat up straight. "It's going to be okay. You just have to tell the truth" Emily said.

"Tell him who bullied you, Bella" Morgan said.

Bella took a deep breath. "It's was Vanessa, Yuna, ... Ummmm... Gail and Mazzy." Bella said.

"They are all from your class?" The principal said.

"Yes" Bella said as tears rolled down her face.

"And what did they do to you?" Carl asked.

"Umm" Bella said and sniffed. "Mazzy barely talks, she just walks with them. She only talked to me once... Gail and Yuna, they say things and they follow Vanessa whenever she's bulling me" Bella said.

"and how about Vanessa?" Carl asked.

"She says things... She's really mean" Bella said.

"Was she the one that pushed you?" He asked.

"Yeah" Bella said.

"And why did she push you?" Carl asked.

Bella looked at Emily unsure if she should tell that she called Yuna a bitch.

"Tell the truth" Emily said knowing exactly what was going through the child's mind.

"The other day, Yuna called Gavin fatty and he hates that so I called her the b word" Bella said.

"Bitch ?" Carl said.

"Yes" Bella said.

"And then what happened?" Carl asked.

"It was only Yuna and Gail so when I said that they didn't do anything. They just kept quiet, but then on the next day i went to get my art supplies and all of them came out of nowhere and Vanessa held my arm" Bella said.

"She has a bruise on her arm too" Emily said.

The principal nodded understanding and said "so she held your arm tight and what did she say to you?"

"She said that she would teach me how to never speak to them like that. And then she pushed me and I hit my back on the lockers" Bella said almost unable to finish.

"And then Miss Marion found you?" Carl asked and Bella nodded yes.

"Did you see those girls?" He asked the teacher.

"No, but I have heard from other kids that they are bullies" Marion said.

"Look Miss Prentiss. I talked to an older student that was in the hall right after this happened. So I scheduled a meeting with their parents and they will be going to detention for the next 2 weeks" Carl said.
"And Bella" he said and Bella looked at him. "If they come up to you and say anything, you come directly to my office. Okay?" He said.

Bella nodded.

The man could tell she looked scared.
"The next punishment for them is suspension" he said serious, now to Emily.

"Thank you sir" Emily said. She wished they would have had a way worse punishment then detention. But at least it was something.

"Take her to get checked please" Carl said standing up. Marion, Derek, Bella and Emily stood up too. They shook hands, said goodbye and walked out of the office.

Bella froze as she stepped outside, holding Derek's hand, as she saw the 4 girls waiting with their parents.

"Agent?" a man said. He was tall, pale, with a very dark hair and brown eyes.

"Wiles" Emily said surprised to see the man there.

Kyle Wiles, stood up from his seat and walked to them, holding his daughter's hand.
Isabella quickly hid behind Emily.

"Agent" Morgan said shaking his hand.

"It's been a long time" Kyle said.
Kyle used to work at the BAU, but had recently changed to white-collar crime division. He wasn't a part of the team but they would always see him around in the office.

"Yeah" Prentiss said shaking the man's hand.

"Well, this is my daughter, Mazzy" Kyle said.

"Hello there" Morgan said realizing now why Isabella was hiding.

"Is this one yours?" Kyle said looking at Bella. He had heard about the girl, but he had left before she moved in with Emily.

"Yes. This is Bella." Emily said making Bella stand in front of her.

"Hi" the man said. "Wow she looks so much like you. ..Nice to meet you" he held his hand out but Bella didn't do anything.

"Come here" Derek said and picked her up. "She needs to see the school nurse" he said.

"Oh. Alright" Kyle said.

"We'll see you around" Morgan said.

"Sure sure. You should stop by at my office to play poker sometime" Kyle told Derek. "both of you" he told Emily.

Emily smiled and Derek too.
"Bye" Emily said and they headed to the nurse station.

"Sorry for that, princess" Morgan said to Bella who was clearly upset.

"I didn't even know he had a daughter" Emily said.

"I met her once. She was such a sweet kid." Morgan said.

"Bad Influences are just... awful" Emily said.

"Yeah" Bella said as they got to the nurse station.

They got in and Bella wasn't really okay with showing her bruises.

"I'll wait outside" Derek said and walked out.

Emily convinced Bella to take her dress off so the nurse could take a look on her back. As Emily expected, it was nothing serious. The nurse took pictures without Isabella seeing it. Emily gave her the go because she knew Bella wouldn't like it. She put a bandage on Bella's back just because of the scratch and told Emily to put an ice pack to relieve the pain. Bella got dressed and they headed to the car.
The nurse went to the principal's office with the pictures so he could show it to the bullies' parents.

CMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCM

"Are you alright?" Derek asked the child as Emily carried her to the car.

"She's okay." Emily said putting Bella down and the girl got in the backseat.

"I need some ice cream" Derek said smiling. "Who's with me?" He asked looking at Bella.

"I am" Emily said.

"You?" Derek asked.

"Sure" Bella said unable to hide a little smile.
Morgan and Emily smiled and they headed to the ice cream shop.

After eating, Morgan dropped them off and headed to his house.
Emily and Bella spent the rest of the day watching tv and the girl kept an ice pack on her back for a long time.
Emily tried taking about the bullying but Bella avoided. Since the girl had taken a big step by telling the principal, Emily decided not to push it.

CMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCM

Emily woke up at 9am. Since it was Saturday, she let Isabella sleep for as long as she liked. So while the girl slept, Emily had breakfast, did some cleaning and started cooking lunch.
It was almost 1 when Bella woke up. She sat up on her mother's bed, grabbed her phone on the nightstand and checked the time. 12:45.

"Wow it's late" Bella said. She went to the bathroom, brushed her teeth, washed her face and headed downstairs.

"Good morning sunshine" Emily smiled as Bella got to the bottom of the stairs.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" Bella asked pushing her hair off her face.

"It's Saturday. We have nothing to do" Emily said as she mixed something inside a big pan.

"Good point" Bella said and Emily laughed.

"Is this you telling me you want to go out?" Emily asked.

"Maybe" Bella smiled and took a seat at the island.

"We can go somewhere after lunch" Emily said.

"Somewhere like... Barnes and Noble?" Bella said.

"Why not?!" Emily said smiling and Bella said "yay!"

"Hey! I didn't say you could buy anything" Emily said and Bella's smile faded.

"I'm joking" Emily said laughing. "I'll let you get one book"

"Three!" Bella said.

"No!" Emily laughed.

"Two then?" Bella said.

"Not three. Not two. Just one. And stop trying to negotiate" Emily said smiling.

"But mom I-"

"It's gonna be zero if you keep going" Emily cut her off, smiling.

"Fine" Bella smiled.

Suddenly her phone rang.
She answered.

"Hey Chloe" Bella said.

"Hi. Gavin is here and Ro is coming over in a little while. Do you wanna come?" Chloe said.

"Ummn..." Bella said. She didn't really want to go but she didn't want to hurt Chloe's feelings.
"Wait up" Bella said. She took the phone out of her ear and counted to 10. Then she put it back on and said "Chloe, I can't. I'm going out with my mom, we'll probably get home really late"

"Oh okay. Maybe another time then" Chloe said.

"Yeah" Bella said.

"Alright. Bye. I see you on Monday" Chloe said.

"Bye" Bella said and hung up.
When she looked at Emily, Emily was staring at her with crossed arms.

"What just happened here?" Emily asked waiting for a solid explanation.

"She invited me over and I don't want to go" Bella said honestly.

"You didn't want to go so you lied?" Emily asked confused.

"What was I supposed to say? That I don't want to have to explain why my arm is like this and why my back is hurting?" Bella said looking at the bruise on her arm.

"Honey" Emily said. "They are your friends"

"I know. And it's my fault they get bullied" Bella said upset, looking down at the floor.

"No Bella" Emily said turning the fire off and walking to the girl.

"It's not your fault. You didn't do anything, baby. Those girls are just mean. You did nothing, okay?" Emily said running her hand on Bella's lower back. "Okay?" She asked again and Bella nodded as a couple tears rolled down her cheeks.

"I just don't wanna go. I want to stay with you today" Bella said wiping her face.

Emily started to help and said "you could have told them that. They would've understood"

"Sorry" Bella said.

Emily gave Bella's nose a little kiss and went back to cooking.

CMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCM

They had lunch around 2, then got ready and headed to Barnes and Noble. They stayed inside for almost 3 hours. Emily sat with Bella on a couch and they just read.

"I like coming here with you" Emily told Bella.

"Me too" Bella smiled and went back to reading.

CMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCM

At Hilary's house, the three friends knew something was going on with Bella. They talked about what they thought it was and they all thought it was one of two things: either Emily or the bullies.

"The other day she was upset about her mom working but I think it got so bad because of those girls" Chloe said.

"What do you mean?" Ro asked.

"Ever since Bella started school they keep talking about her parents" Chloe said.

"Yeah. Whenever they say things involving anything else she's fine but when it's them she gets really upset" Gavin said.

"Why don't we talk to the principal? At my other school they had very strictly rules about bullying" Rose said.

"My mom talked to him before and it didn't change much" Chloe said.

"Yeah. They just sort of stopped picking on us while in class" Gavin said.

"But outside who is going to watch them?" Chloe said.

"Yeah" Rose said feeling bad. "Did you ever tell you parents?" She asked Gavin.

"Yeah" Gavin said. "My dad always tells me that it doesn't matter how the bullies see us, you know? But how we see ourselves. They tell me to never let anyone tell me who I am" Gavin said.

"Your dad is right" Chloe said.

"He is. But sometimes it's hard" Gavin said. " 'cause I mean, I know I'm a bit fat, does it makes me sad, kind of. 'Cause like... I can't run as fast as the other boys or do active things my sister can do. But I don't think I'm ugly." Gavin said.

"And you're not" Chloe said.

"But it's hard when someone's screaming at your face calling you ugly and fat" he said.

"You're anything but ugly Gav. You're awesome" Chloe said.

"You're pretty awesome too" Gavin said. "Both of you"

"Thanks" the girls said and they laughed.

Suddenly Hilary walked in.
"Hey. I made you guys a snack" she said walking to them and laying down a plate with Cookies.
"What are you guys doing here?" She asked them confused at why they were sitting in the bedroom floor.

"Just talking" Chloe said.

Hilary smiled.
"Alright. I'll let you guys talk then" Hilary said walking to the door.

"Wait! mom!" Chloe said and Hilary turned around. "We're a little worried about Bella" Chloe said and Hilary walked to them.

"Why sweetie?" She asked sitting next to Chloe.

"Remember when Bella was with Jeremy and those stupid girls bullied Gavin and I?" Chloe said and Hilary nodded. "They bullied us again some other times. And the other day, out of nowhere, Bella was really weird and quiet. She was barely talking to us and then she broke down"

"What do you mean she broke down?" Hilary asked worried.

"She started crying a lot and she said those girls said something about Emily and I told her it wasn't true but she wouldn't believe me" Chloe said.

"Do you know what they told her?" Hilary asked.

"It was about Emily's work." Chloe said.

"Yeah about how she's away a lot" Rose said.

"I see" Hilary said. "And why does that worry you guys?"

"Well it worries me because they keep talking about her parents and I know that she's trying hard to get used to living with her mom and her mom's work, just her life here and... They are just making it horrible" Chloe said.

"Yeah. Sometimes it's like she loves here and she's having fun and all and then out of nowhere she's a mess" Gavin said.

Hilary took a deep breath and said "you know kids, Bella is a very tough girl. But she's also very little. And I don't mean that in height, even though she is little" she smiled and they smiled too.
"I mean that as age. You guys are 9 years-old, you are kids. And she just turned nine. She's very smart and very tough but she's been through so much in so little time. You know?" She said and grabbed Chloe's hand.
"She lost her dad and then she moved here. And started a new school with new people and she started going to her mother's work with more new people. She got new friends" Hilary smiled.

"She got a new big family" she said, talking about the team.
"Even though most of it is good and fun it's a lot to take in. It's a lot for a grown up, moving and doing all these new things with new people, Just imagine to a little girl. Cause she's a little girl just like you guys" Hilary said. "Well not like you Gavin, but you know what I mean" she said and they laughed.

"I really think that Bella needs time and she needs love. Lots and lots of love. And I know you guys got the love part taken care of so don't worry too much, okay? Let the grownups do the worrying. You guys be kids and play with her and have fun. Okay?"

Chloe nodded.

"But isn't there a way to help her?" Gavin asked.

"Being by her side. Having fun with her. Just making sure that she knows you are here for her" Hilary said and the kids nodded.

There was a bit of silence and suddenly Chloe said "mom, can you tell Emily she's getting bullied? Maybe she can help somehow. And I don't think Bella tells her"

"Of course I can" Hilary said and hugged the girl.

She had tears in her eyes. "We'll look what you did to me!" She laughed and wiped her face as a tear rolled down. The kids laughed. "Eat these cookies before Millie comes in here" Hilary said standing up.

"Thanks Miss Hilary" Gavin said.

"Just Hilary!" Hilary said quickly and the kids laughed. Gavin was always being corrected on that.

Hilary went to her kitchen and called Emily.

.

Emily was looking at some books while Bella sat on a couch nearby and read a book by John Green, when her phone started ringing.

"Hello, Emily?" Hilary said.

"Hi" Emily said.

"Can you talk right now or are you busy?" Hilary asked.

"I can talk" Emily said and sat on a table a bit away from Bella.

"Well, the kids are here at my house and they were talking about Bella and they asked me to tell you" Hilary said.

"Tell me what? What happened?" Emily asked.

"They said they are getting bullied again and that the girls are going pretty heavy on Bella" Hilary said.

"You have no idea, Hilary" Emily said taking a deep breath.

"What do you mean?" Hilary asked worried.

Emily checked on Bella to make sure she was away and started talking. "She went to the office after school and JJ noticed a bruise on her arm."

"Oh God" Hilary said almost a whisper.

"So we asked her what happened and... We found out that Vanessa squeezed her arm and then pushed her. Bella was alone, the other kids were already in class, she went to get her art supplies."

"Oh my god. Is she okay?" Hilary asked worried and in shock.

"She's alright. She hurt her back when she fell so there's a big ugly bruise on her back but she'll be okay." Emily said.

"And what are we going to do about this? There's no way we can allow this to keep going" Hilary said.

"I went with Bella to see the principal and she told him what happened" Emily said.

"What did he say?" Hilary asked.

"He said the 4 girls will have to be in detention for 2 weeks and if anything else happens they'll get suspended." Emily said.

"Do you think that's gonna work?" Hilary asked. She had heard that talk before.

"I don't know" Emily said. "I just want her to be okay at school, you know? She's so scared. And if this keeps going I'll have no choice but to change her to another school" Emily said.

"Chloe will be right there with her. No matter where you decided she'll go" Hilary said.

"Thank you Hilary." Emily said.

"But hopefully we won't have to do that" Hilary said.

"Yes" Emily said and suddenly Bella started walking to her. "Well, I gotta go"

"Okay." Hilary said. "Bye"

"Bye" Emily said and hung up.

"Who was it?" Bella asked.

"Hilary" Emily said.

"Was she worried because I didn't go there?" Bella asked.

"No. It's just that the kids told her they're getting bullied and she called to let me know" Emily said.

"She called you?" Bella asked looking a bit down.

"Yes and I told her what happened. If that's what you want to know" Emily said.

"And what did she say?" Bella asked.

"That this has to stop" Emily said.

"She's right" Bella said and hugged Emily.

They hugged for a while and then Emily said "so what book are you getting?"

"This one" Bella said holding a copy of 'Elixir' by Hilary Duff.

"Alright. Let's go then?" Emily asked standing up.

"Yup" Bella said and they walked to the cashier. They payed and headed home.

The rest of the day went fine. Bella read her book while Emily read what she had bought.

Sunday wasn't much different. They had a chilled day in the apartment with lots of reading and movie watching.
At night Bella went to her own bed and Emily went to tuck her in. The girl was a little nervous and Emily just knew why.

"Are you scared about tomorrow?" Emily asked sitting next to the girl who was squeezing her bear with one arm and Tramp with the other.

"I guess so" Bella said.

"Look. You know my number and you know I'll be just a call away" Emily said putting a lock of hair behind Isabella's ear.

"But what if they do something?" Bella asked.

"You call me and while you're calling You go straight to the principal's office" Emily said. "Okay? Do you understand?"

"Yeah" Bella said.

"Can I sleep on your bed again?" Bella asked shyly.

"Yes" Emily smiled.

Bella followed Emily, carrying her bear, Tramp and her blanket.
They snuggled up on Emily's bed.

"Wow you have a whole crew here" Emily smiled.

"They're cuddly" Bella said and Emily laughed.

"Well, you are cuddly" Emily said getting closer to Bella and wrapping one arm around her.

(Monday)

"Bella, wake up sunshine" Emily sang putting Bella's hair away from her face. The girl opened her eyes and blinked a little.
"Good morning" Emily said.

"Morning" Bella said and hugged Emily.
Emily hugged Isabella back.

"Let's get ready" Emily said letting go of the hug.
Bella sat up. "Let's go" Emily said standing up and Bella got out of bed. Both got ready and headed down for breakfast.

"Are you cold?" Emily asked as she saw Bella at the bottom of the stairs wearing a coat. It wasn't cold at all.

"No." Bella said with a sad face and Emily just knew. She wanted to hide her bruise.

"Come eat breakfast" Emily said.

They ate and then headed to the school.

.

"Mom, anything I can call, right?" Bella said as they were getting closer to the school.

"Of course you can" Emily said.

Bella took a deep breath.

"You're gonna be okay" Emily said.

"Okay" Bella said as Emily parked the car.

"Hug?" Emily said as Isabella unbuckled. Bella smiled and hugged her mom. "I love you" Emily said.

"I love you too" Bella said.

Emily could hear the nervousness in the child's voice.
"Have a good day" Emily said.

"You too" Bella said letting go of the hug.

"Bye" Emily said.

Bella got out of the car, said bye and left. She walked up the steps to find her friends at the entrance.

"Hi!" Chloe said and hugged her.

"How are you?" Gavin asked.

"I'm okay" Bella smiled. She was happy to see her friends.

"Good" Rose smiled.

"Oh Bella! They notified us on Friday that they would switch classes so today we'll have the Tuesday schedule and tomorrow monday's" Gavin said.

"Thank god, no PE" Rose said and they all laughed.

"So how are you guys?" Bella asked as they walked to their classroom.

"I'm fine" Gavin said.

"Me too" Chloe said.

"Same here" Rose said.

They walked inside. Rose took the second seat. "You can seat there, I don't mind" she told Bella.

"Thanks" Bella said smiling and sat in the front.

Suddenly Mazzy walked in and Bella got serious and sat up straight completely ignoring everyone. The girl walked and sat around the middle. A while later Gail, Yuna and Vanessa walked in and sat on the far back.

"Pssss..." Vanessa called Mazzy and Mazzy turned to see her. "Come seat here" Vanessa said.

"I can't" Mazzy said serious and turned around as the teacher walked in.
He started the class and everyone was quiet. They had English and geometry and then recess was great. No signs of those bullies, the girls completely ignored them. In the last class of Geometry, the Principal interrupted.
He walked in and talked about bullying with the school's psychologist. They explained what it was and how it made people feel and also what consequences it would have now. Carl couldn't help but look straight to those girls when he talked.
Isabella and her friends felt good that they were in fact doing something. They just hoped it was enough to make it stop.

CMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCM

The last class of the day was French.
Chloe and Bella headed to class while Rose and Gavin went to theirs. Everything went fine and of course Miss Marion wanted to talk to Bella. She went to the girl's desk and they talked in French so the other students wouldn't really understand. The woman asked about what the principal had said and also if those girls had done anything else. Bella told her and Marion said that if she needed anything she would be right there. Bella felt nice that the teacher really cared.

Later at the office, Emily was working on a profile when Isabella arrived.

"Hi" Bella said walking to her mother's desk.

"Hi" Emily said standing, and then pulled the girl to a hug. "How was school?" She asked.

"It was okay" Bella said.

"No bullies?" Emily asked.

"No" Bella smiled.

"Take this off" Emily said and helped Bella with her backpack. She put under her desk, sat back down and pulled Bella to her lap.

Suddenly Morgan and Reid walked there.

"Oh look who's in the house" Morgan said smiling.

"Hi" Bella said and he went there and hugged her.

"Everything good with you?" He asked.

"Yup" Bella said.

"Hi" Reid said sitting on his desk in front of Emily's.
Bella smiled at him and gave him a little wave.

"Do you have any homework?" Emily asked.

"Yes" Bella said not excited at all.

"Go start on those, alright?" Emily said.

"No" Bella said getting comfortable on Emily's arms.

"come on honey. Just do it and get it over with" Emily said.
Bella let go and got a chair. She sat next to Emily on the desk and got her folder out.

"What do you have here?" Emily asked.

"Just French and English" Bella said and started working on it.
It didn't take long for her to finish it and once she was done Emily and Derek were about to start working on a profile together so Derek suggested they could seat in the conference room. So there they went.
Bella took a seat on the couch with her Hilary Duff's book and the grownups sat around the table. JJ and Penelope were there too.

Bella was reading when she got a text from Cameron. 'how's everything, tiny?'

The girl looked at it and smiled. But her smile faded as she suddenly wasn't sure of what to say. She thought for a while and then sent 'everything is great. I'm at the BAU now and I'm a little busy. We can talk later maybe'
