Shane walked through the hall with her books in her hand. She walked up to the classroom door and turned the knob. She walked in, and the room went quiet. She looked around as everyone stared at her. She scratched the back of her neck and took a seat. She put her books on her desk and paid attention to her teacher. She heard snickering behind her and turned around. She saw Emmy and her friend smiling at her. She turned back around and continued to listening to the teacher. Shane sighed as the class came to an end. The bell rang, and she got out of her seat. She walked out of the classroom and saw Alice. She walked over to her and stood next to her locker.

“Hey.”

Alice looked up. “Hey.”

“Have you noticed anything weird today?”

“What?”

“The constant stares, snickering and awkward silences as you walk into the classroom?”

Alice looked at Shane. “Yeah.”

Shane leaned up against the locker. “I don’t know how much longer I can take this.”

“You want to get out of here until this entire thing blows over?”

“I don’t know if we can. They’re watching us Al. they got police surrounding the damn school.”

“Then what do you want to do?”  Shane didn’t say anything. “Well I can’t take this shit, I’m out of here.” Alice slammed her locker door and started to walk away.  Shane wanted to say something, but she was already gone. She sighed and started to go after her friend. Alice swung her bag over her shoulder and walked down the hallway. She dropped her book, and she stopped. She bent over and grabbed it. She came up and had Rick in her face.

“What do you want Rick?”

Rick smiled. “Oh nothing, I thought I could say hi to an old friend.”

“Bullshit! Just stay away from me.” Alice started to back away, but ran into some of Rick’s friend. “What are you doing?”

“I just want to have fun.” Rick started to walk towards Alice. She tried to get away, but his friends got a hold of her.
