Lexie's POV
I woke up in the morning feeling relaxed. Until I remembered that I had to go to school again today. Bleh. At least I had Riley. I wasn't sure if I could trust her yet, since I literally just met her yesterday.
I got out of bed and ready for school. I wore skinny jeans and my black and blue butterfly shirt. Then I put on my Justice sweater that said ☆Sing!☆ in pink and green. And finally, I put on my red Converse shoes. I went to the kitchen and had a waffle for breakfast, brushed my teeth, and brushed my hair and put it into a ponytail. All ready. I grabbed my skateboard and headed out.
I rode all the way to school. When I got there, I saw Riley sitting on the bench with her head down. 3 girls were laughing and talking in front of her. They were being mean! I went up to them and said, "Don't be mean." They immediately turned their attention from Riley to me. Oh no, I thought. "What was that?" One asked. "Um... Don't be mean." I said. One of them pushed me against the lockers. "You don't even know who you're talking to, do you, new girl?" She said. I didn't answer. Instead, I looked down for a second, then back up. "I'm Sam, that's Saige, and that's Andrea." Saige was a pretty blond girl, and Andrea was a freckled- face brunette. Sam had black hair and darker skin. Saige and Andrea are pretty, but Sam isn't really.
I pushed her back. "Are you looking for a fight?" I asked. "Cause if you are, you just asked the wrong person." I smiled, an evil smile." Sam pushed me into the lockers again, and I punched her in the shoulder. For a second, I thought she would stop because I hurt her, but noooo. Sam came back at me with a punch to the stomach. I doubled over in pain, then hit her back, in the stomach. I didn't want to give her a bloody nose because then I would get in trouble. It didn't phase her. So I jumped on her. But something pulled me. Saige and Andrea grabbed me and forcefully dragged me away. They held me as I was punched or kicked, over and over again. Then I saw the teacher coming. So did they. Immediately, Sam stopped hitting me. The teacher came over. "What's going on here?" She asked. "Oh poor Lexie ummm tripped and we were helping her up and I guess she hit her face on the ground or something," said Andrea. Sam gave me a look that said, if you say anything, you're dead. "Is this true, Lexie?" She asked. I looked at Sam. She glared at me. "Yes," I choked out. Then she left. The girls dropped me and I ran to the bathroom, followed by Riley. "Are you ok?" She asked. "Yeah," I said, wiping my nose. "Just a little banged up, that's all." I winced in pain as I put a cold paper napkin on my bruised shoulder. Then the bell rang, and we hurried to class.
The rest of the day wasn't very fun. They never stopped bullying me and Riley. I decided to ride my skateboard home with Riley. She walked while I rode. I kind of liked her as a friend.
