"*Beep* *Beep* *Beep*" My alarm sounds waking me up.

I sigh and make my way over to turn off my alarm.  Once my alarm was off I grabbed my new outfit and had made way to my bathroom shutting the door behind me and getting dressed.

About a minute later I'm fully awake and come out of my bathroom fully clothed.

I sigh once more and grab my shoes and the other things that I need for the school day along with a light breakfast before heading out the door with my keys in hand.

I arrived near 8:35 again but instead of just walking through the playground I decided to go in through the front door.

When I was walking to my locker to put my stuff away I saw that the girl from yesterday was standing there waiting for me. Just then she look towards me.

'How dare she make me, the queen, wait?!' 'I oughta give her a piece of my mind!' The girl thought.

"BITCH, HURRY UP!" She screamed.

'So she did notice me.' I thought to myself.

I sighed already knowing that this wasn't going to end up with a happy ending and so just to get it over with, I sped up and finally reached my locker.

Once I reached my locker I opened it threw my backpack inside and quickly gathered the things that I needed for the day. Once I was done I set my stuff down onto the ground next to me, closed my locker, and began to lean against it.

"It's about damn time you ugly whore." "Anyways, have you thought about our deal?" She said as wrapped a piece of her hair around her hand and began to curl it.

"For one, I'm not a "ugly whore", I am a person, and secondly... I have."

"Well then what's your answer!?" She smiled excitedly.

"Hmm...sorry to disappoint but, it's the same as yesterday." "I won't give up on the things that I worked hard to get."  I said ending with a smile.

The queen was shocked but that shock was quickly replaced with an angered look.

"YOU UGLY BITCH!" "I ALREADY FUCKING TOLD YOU THAT I DONT FUCKING TAKE "NO" AS A FUCKING ANSWER!!!" She yelled at me.

She then once again slapped me causing me to fall against my locker and onto the ground.

"HOW CAN SOMEONE LIKE YOU BE BETTER AT MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICAL SCIENCE?!" "IM SUPPOSED TO BE THE ONE WHO'S BETTER THAN EVERYONE AT EVERYTHING, I AM THE QUEEN, NOT YOU, YOU UGLY BITCH!" She screamed at me.

I looked around my surroundings  quickly to notice that everyone had stopped in their tracks and had started staring at us.

"Hey, you might want to keep your voice down, people are starting to stare at you." I suggested.

She then snapped her head up to look around and sneered.

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU ALL LOOKING AT?" "HOW ABOUT INSTEAD OF ALL OF YOU GETTING INTO MY BUSINESS YOU ALL GET YOUR ASSES TO CLASS?!" She screamed.

Everyone then went back to what they were doing except for one of the students. That student kept looking at us.

She then pulled me up by the collar of my shirt and had slammed me into my locker causing me to cough up a bit of blood. She then let go of the collar of my shirt and then had grabbed me by my neck and held me against my locker.

"You ugly whore, I will ask you one more time, is "No" your final answer?" She glared dangerously.

"I've already told you "no" about two times so what makes you think that my answer would change?"  I said struggling slightly to breath or even get the words out for that matter.

It was then she smiled evily and said;
"Oh well then, you cunt, I tried to spare your life but you just threw it away." "Prepare for death." She said grinning like a maniac.

I just mearly shrugged my shoulders not caring about what happens to me anymore.

It was then she saw this gesture and got angrier and had started to punch and beat me until I had multiple bruises and cuts littering my arms,legs and face.

The girl then smiled once more and asked; "Are you sure that's your final answer?"  She asked with more of a cold edge to her voice.

"Yes... it is...I already told you that." I answered still smiling.

"Hehehe...it was your choice....now I'll make sure you don't regret it!"

The girl then took out a rather sharp looking knife and pointed it towards my heart.

It was at this moment the student who seemed to be watching us from earlier had made a run for it. The student ran towards my math room.

In an instant, my math teacher, Mr.Piontek, had come outside of his room to check what was happening.
He saw the I was being held by my neck by the queen and she was hovering over my heart with a knife and smiling.

It was then that my math teacher had come over to where we were but it was too late. She brought the knife down and it pierced my heart.

The girl grinned and then brought her mouth to my ear and spoke;

"Have a nice ride to hell you bitch."

It was then that she pulled the knife out of my chest cavity twisting it a bit before taking it out completely.

My blood sprayed and had stained the girls' face and the lockers around me.

She grinned before letting my neck go allowing me to slide to the floor still bleeding profusely.

I just smiled up at her.

"BITCH WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU STILL SMILING AFTER THAT?!" "DID YOU NOT FEEL ANY OF THAT?!" She shouted furiously.

My smile faltered for a moment before returning. I slowly got up from my position and leaned my back against my locker and said;

"*Hack* *Hack* *Hack*" "Oh no...I... I felt it but I...I've been hurt...all my life...so now...I no longer know how to react to it other than with...a smile."

I paused for a moment now looking down in sheer dismay before continuing.

"I honestly don't feel anything on a day to day basis..." I paused to take a breath and then continued.

"But kindness and th-the want and the..need to help others because of how fucked up I already am...and how fucked up my past already was." I explained as I brought my head up from its downward position and smiled.

My eyes had begun to crack to resemble that of a cracked mirror but I continued to smile.

The queen was shocked at what she heard but then smirked.

"Bitch, your nothing but a lier and a thief who cries and begs for attention!" "See you never again bitch!" "Hmph." The girl said as she cleaned, and pocketed her knife while storming off.

"Layla!, are you alright?!" My math teacher screamed worriedly.

I blinked not even realizing he was there, but began to speak not a second later;

"M-Mr.Piontek?...I-I'm so-rry." I said through labored breaths.

It was then that my body and mind gave out and I swayed to the side and fainted due to blood loss.

Before I hit the ground though my math teacher had caught my falling form and had set me down gently on the ground.

Piontek then began to speak to the other student who had been watching things unfold; "Grab the first aid kit from my room and bring it to me." "After that I want you to call for an ambulance and tell Ms.Chavez to come and help me." "Got it?"

The student nodded and went inside of Piontek's' room and grabbed the first aid kit and brought it to him.

"Thank you...now go and call an ambulance and get Chavez down here by any means necessary." Piontek instructed.

The student nodded and went back into the room and called the emergency number and was told that an ambulance would be on their way.

The student then thanked them and hung up and told Piontek that the ambulance would be here within fifteen minutes and that he was going to get Chavez.

Piontek nodded and thanked the student.

The student then ran to Chavez's room and when he got there immediately pushed the other students who swarmed her desk out of the way.

"Ah, Jack, what can I do for you?" The science teacher asked with worry evident in her tone.

"Ms.Chavez no time to explain Piontek needs your help now!"

Ms.Chavez immediately jumped up from her chair and said; "Ok, take me to him, Jack."

Jack nodded and then ran out of her room with her following closely behind. Within a minute of running down the hall, the scene had come into view and Ms.Chavez had picked up her pace.

"Mr.Piontek, what happened to Layla?!"

"She had gotten into a fight that wasn't her fault." "The so-called "queen" had stabbed her and had beat her to the ground but yet she still continued to smile despite the pain... she even apologized for the whole thing even if she didn't start it..." He explained.

Ms.Chavez was stunned by what she heard. She wasn't expecting something like this to happen.

"Ms.Chavez, just come help me keep her vitals up and keep her alive until the ambulance arrive."

"Alright."

For the next 15 minutes the two teachers worked to keep their student alive until the ambulance came and when it did one of the paramedics were surprised to see who it was.

"I know who this is...its Layla!"

The two teachers who had been working feverishly to keep their students' vitals  up were surprised when one of the paramedics recognized their student.

"You know Layla?" Asked Mr.Piontek.

"Yeah I was there when her parents were murdered in front of her at a young age." "I give her credit though, she's different from all the other kids who had something of that degree happen to them...she's stronger than them." "She didn't cry for her parents she just prayed for them to be well." "Well anyway, we better get Layla tot the intensive care unit as soon as possible or else she might just die...but knowing her I doubt it."

"Anywho, see you all soon!" "Lets go you guys!"

The paramedics then carried Layla out of the school and drove her to the hospital.

"I hope she comes back alive."

"Yeah me too."

"I wonder where the so-called "queen" even went to." "Well, if she wants to show herself she will."

"Yeah."

"Anyways Mr.Piontek i'm going to get back to my class." "See you later." Ms.Chavez said as she walked away waving.

"Yeah see ya." Said Mr.Piontek as he walked back into his classroom an sighed.

It was then that one of his students asked;

"Mr.Piontek, what happened out there?"

"Don't worry about it now, it's been taken care of."

The student then sighed and walked away knowing that they wouldn't get the answer they wanted.

It was then that Piontek sighed one more time before looking off into space.

On the other hand a student was now hiding in the gym under one of the bleachers watching a boy around her age playing basketball. The boy had Straight short black hair that had been swept to the right, dark brown eyes and black square rimmed glasses.

The girl smiled to herself, she loved watching the boy,but it was then that everything that she did hit her all at once.

She might've killed someone. She was going to be a criminal. She knew that someone as cute as the boy she had been watching would never like someone who was as tainted as her.

She frowned at her own thoughts. She wanted to change for him. She must change for him. So It was at that moment the girl decided she would no longer be that person who controls another, but instead be that person who befriends another.

The girl smiled to herself and thought; 'I'm going to be better than I was...And I'm going to do this right.'

It was then that the bell rang, signifying that it was time for the next class. The girl under the bleachers waited for the class before hers to file out and once the gym was empty she got up from her hiding place and got ready for gym.

After that she had gone through the day and had gone home thinking hat she could do to become a better person.
