The day is almost a copy of the last, except for the fact that I walked around with a badly bruised eye all day and after I leave those school doors.

I open the door and look side to side before stepping out. The coast is clear. I walk out and as I do I am quickly grabbed and thrown to the ground. I have no clue where they even came from.

"You thought your little friend could protect you? Where is she now? Huh?" Henry says as I am lying on the ground. 

I quickly go to get up and away from him but I run into Daniel instead.

"Well look who it is." A squeaky and obnoxious voice says. I look over to see the girls here.

"What do you guys want from me? What did I ever do to you!?"

"You exist," Jace says coming out of nowhere and throwing a punch which hits the side of my face.

I fall to the ground as they punch and push me. Six v.s one.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't the two losers, the coward, and their s!*&^." A voice says with a chuckle. It's Gray

They stand up from their position of punching me and kicking me. I go to my feet and see the guys circled around us.

"Six v.s one isn't very fair. Or is it that if it was five v.s. one, you know you would lose?" Alan follows up with as they close the circle by taking a few more steps.

Gray is behind me and I turn to him as he grins at me.

Instead of walking out of this circle of death I walk in and go in front of Henry as I throw a punch to his spleen making him drop instantly.

"Been waiting for a chance to do that," I say shaking out my hand from how hard I had hit him.

"Come on princess," Gray says motioning for me to back out. 

I walk away but as I do the door opens and four more people step into the circle. All ready to back up Henry and his group.

"So we gonna have ourself's a fist fight or what?" Jacob says.

"You guys don't have to do this," I say quietly to Gray.

"Maybe, but who doesn't love a good fist fight?" He says sliding off his leather jacket. 

I watch the others do the same and drop their bags. I slide off my bag and leather jacket as the guys we surround drop their stuff as well.

"You don't have to fight to you know," Gray says quietly over to me.

"I have been waiting to be able to do this for a long time," I respond.

One of the guys go to throw a punch at Trever and the fighting breaks loose.

I quickly get rid of the girls by just pulling their hair to make them hit heads as they grab mine, It was a dirty fight. A lot of hair was lost. Luckily none of it was mine.

A few of the guys go to throw a punch at me but I dodge and return it, struggling not to throw a streetfighter type of punch and not to get into a fighting stance.

The fighting soon comes to a stop as A throws the last punch. All of my group is standing without a scratch while they are all on the ground.

"Well, that was fun," Trever says.

"Bit to easy for my liking," L.J. says.

"Way to easy, but it was fun," Alan says smiling.

"What about you?" Gray says elbowing me as we look at the guys laying on the ground.

"It was fun," I say taking a deep inhale.

"You tired?" A asks me.

"Nope. I'm good."

"Alright then. How about we go to the park before the party?"

"Sure," L.J says.

Willow went home early, faking being sick so she had extra time to do whatever and get ready for the party tonight at my house so it's just me and the guys.

"I'm up for the park," Trever says.

"Park it is then," Grays says sliding back on his leather jacket.

I pick up the one he gave me and slide it on as I pick up my bag.

We all walk over to the bikes and I ride with Gray. We soon make it there and all go on the swings again.

"Memories flashing back yet Beth?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"This is the place you finally admitted your feelings to me."

"It was on the cheek and to keep that guy from me. Don't get to full of yourself."

"Oh, wanna know how last night went?" A says looking over to Mason.

I am the only one swinging so I slow myself down.

"How?"

"Shut it A," Mason says.

"So the ref cheated and Tori won anyway."

"Don't you dare continue," Mason says.

"Tori almost murdered Henry and Daniel, she gets a gun and knife held to her then after all that, Mason decides-"

Mason quickly grabs A and puts him in a chokehold.

"You asked her out, huh?"

They all quickly look at me and A struggles from Mason's grip.

"How did you know?" Alan asks me.

"I'm not dumb, plus I kinda talk to her considering she is a good friend of mine."

"What did she say?" Mason says, letting A out of the choke hold.

"She said she had gotten asked out by you and felt bad."

"Seriously?" Gray asks.

"I can show you the text messages. She didn't want a boyfriend because she has too many other things that she wants to focus on right now."

"That doesn't mean there isn't a chance though," L.J. says but it almost sounds like a question.

We talk till it's almost sundown and soon decide it's time to go to the party. I ride with Gray again and he stops and goes the whole ride making me have to tighten my grip to keep myself from slipping.

"I swear if you suddenly stop or go faster again I will kill you."

"I don't know what you're talking about." He says imitating my voice as he suddenly stops and goes again, making me hang on tighter.

"Your dead," I say.

"You're dead," He says trying to imitate my voice.

"Knock it off."

"Knock it off."

"Will you guys help me out here?" I say through the communicator.

"Will you guys help me out here?" He says imitating me.

"You're on your own, princess," L.J. says."

"Wow, thanks."

"Wow, thanks."

"Your acting like a baby, knock it off."

"Your acting like a baby, knock it off."

I smack his shoulder with one hand and he takes the opportunity by suddenly stopping speeding up and I quickly wrap my arm back around him and tighten my grip. I hear him chuckle through the communicator.

I look into the mirror and stick out my tongue. He notices and smiles back at me.

We soon make it to my house which has no other cars near it.

"Where is the safest place to park?"

"The end of the gravel road."

They all sigh and turn around going back to park in a safer spot them right next to the house. As they do I see Willow walk up to us from her parked car.

The second the motorcycle turns off I take off my helmet and gloves, giving them to Gray as I rush over to her.

"Oh my gosh I missed having a girlfriend," I say coming up to her.

"Missed you too."

More people start to walk past us, going to the party. Me and Willow put our arms around each other's necks and go to walk in. The guys follow next to us. We all head inside and the guys head off while I bring Willow upstairs to my room. 

"Best. Room. Ever." She says as she sits in the plastic ball while spinning in circles.

"Your gonna not be able to walk without being drunk," I say smiling.

I don't drink but all my friends do. Alan is the only one who doesn't get drunk but Willow on the other hand...

"Girl, what do you think is in this water bottle? It's not water."

I roll my eyes at her.

"I mean, I'm already tipsy."

"Great," I say unenthusiastically as I drop my bag.

"Okay. Let's get you ready for your first party." She says standing up on wobbly legs and grabbing her backpack.

"No dresses," I say sternly.

"Fine," she says flatly.

She quickly changes into a tight black dress and does her own makeup. I put on a hoodie and jeans while she does her magic. 

"And done!" She says smiling at me with lipgloss in hand

I go to look in the mirror but she quickly pulls me away.

"Nope. I know you. The second you see it, you'll say it's not you and try to be nice about it and wipe it all off. Not this time missy." She says tapping my nose with the container of lipgloss. 

"Now remember, this is waterproof so HAH!" She says smiling as she puts away all the makeup as we sit on the bed.

The door suddenly opens and I see Alan, Gray, and L.J. standing there.

"So she can be in the same bed as you but I can't?"

L.J. smiles but Willow and Alan look to me with surprised and confused looks. Their faces suddenly change when I actually look over at the guys though. I watch them study my face with surprised looks.

"Get out."

"Were not in your room though." Gray says.

"Go!" They stand there and I walk over.

I go to close the door but they push in trying to go in my room.

"Willow, help me out here!"

"Nah, you got it."

"You are gonna break my door!" I say as I use my entire body to try and close it while they all use one arm.

I slip on the carpet as I try and close the door.

"What do you want?"

"In."

"No."

"So what's this about you and Gray being in the same bed?" Willow says with a suggestive voice and look.

Gray looks at me and smiles.

"Nothing."

"They slept together," L.J. says.

"No, we didn't!" I say in a serious and loud voice.

"That's my girl!" Willow says smiling as I am still trying to close the door.

"Willow!" I scream at her.

"You need to get laid at some point." She says shrugging her shoulders.

I watch the guys faces go into a surprised smile.

"Okay, you all need to leave," I say pushing on the door harder and closing the door.

I quickly lock the door and move the dresser in front of it.

"Come on!" Alan says.

"No!" I scream at them through the door.

"And you," I say pointing to Willow.

"So what happened?"

"Nothing. He seriously fell asleep next to me in my bed and I just about had a heart attack and killed him."

"Oh, my gosh your never gonna get a boyfriend." She says like it's a huge realization and looking down with huge eyes.

"You an awful friend."

"This may be my biggest challenge yet."

"Willow-"

"And it's my best friend." She says looking up at me from the bed.

"Kill me now."

"Come on. Let's go out to the party."

"Fine, only if you won't try and get me a boyfriend."

"Girl, I have cards made with your number on them."

"Willow."

"Fine."

I move my dresser back and unlock the door, opening it to see the guys all standing there. 

I roll my eyes and walk out, past them. Willow and them soon catch up with me.

The party carries on and Willow ends up with a few guys dancing with her and disappears into the crowd. The guys soon disappear as well and I can't find any of them. After a while, I decide that they are lost forever and go to the snack bar. 

I have to maneuver through a few makeout sessions but I make it eventually. I stand in the corner trying to get away from all the alcohol but the smell won't go away. How does he clean this place so well and quickly?

I grab a piece of popcorn and instinctually regret it and spit it out when I taste it. Someone poured beer in the bowel. I spit over in the sink, trying to get the nasty taste of booze out of my mouth. 

I drink some water and finally get the taste out of my mouth and sigh in relief. If this is what all high school parties are like I am gonna have to sit all the next ones out.
