Audrey Pov
It was getting close to lunch time and I got excited. It felt like nothing could go wrong. I had 4 bestfriends and I finally felt like I wasn't alone. When the bell rung, I walked to my locker. I got my wallet out of my bookbag and headed for the lunchroom.
"Hey Audrey!" I heard a familiar voice coming from behind me. I swirled around and saw 4 guys running over to me.
"Uhh hey." I said awkwardly. James, Tristan, Brad, and Connor pulled me into a big bear hug. I couldn't help but smile because I felt like I belonged.
"You ready to get some lunch ? " Connor asked as he linked arms with me.
" Yes I am, and if I were you, I would unlink arms with me. People might think we are dating or you're gay." I whispered with a chuckle. He quickly took his arm away and everyone started laughing. As we walked in the Cafeteria, I noticed it was louder than before, but I didn't mind it. James, Connor and I got in the lunchline as Brad and Tristan went outside to get us a seat under the tree he and I sat at the other day.
"What would you like sweetheart?" An older looking lunch lady said with a smile on her face.
"May I have a chicken sandwich with fries please?" I asked politely. She put the wrapped up chicken sandwich with fries on my tray. James and Connor got the same thing as I. We walked out into the courtyard where we found Brad and Tristan sitting under a tree. Brad was drinking a Dr.Pepper and Tristan was drinking a Sierra Mist.

"What did that have in there?" Tristan asked as he looked over at us.
"Chicken Sandwiches, fries, salads." I said as I focused on putting my ketchup in one of the compartments on the tray.
" You know we should have a chill night after we go to the skate park saturday." James said as he chewed on a fry. We all nodded in agreement.
" Where at though?" I asked while I put mayonaise on one part of the bun.
" My house. We can chill in the basement." James said while sipping his water.
" Okay, that sounds good to me." I said. Everyone else just nodded and smiled.

5 minutes later they were joking around about how my first time on a skateboard would be like.
" No, she would like bambi on ice." Bradley said. James was rolling on the ground, Connor's voice got higher and Tristan started crying because he was laughing too hard. I just sat there with the same expression on my face. A smile started forming on my face when I saw Bradley run into the trashcan. I started laughing so hard because he dropped his phone in the trashcan. His smile dropped and he rolled up his sleeve. He dug his arm in the trashcan and tried to fish his phone out.

At that point, I was beyond dead. I was laying across the bench trying to catch my breath when I heard a familiar voice.
"I can't believe Bradley is even talking to you, you are as boring as dirt." Amanda said as she pushed me off of the bench and laughed with her little crew.
" Why can't you ever leave me alone Amanda?" I said aggressively as I picked myself off of the ground and brushed myself off.
"I don't know maybe because you deserve it. Face it, Audrey you are a bum and you always will be. In my eyes you will always be a broke ass bitch." Amanda said as she got in my face. By this time there was a crowd surrounding us. Brad, Tristan, James, and Connor were behind me telling me to come with them, but I couldn't. My whole body was coursing with anger.
" See this is why people like you have nobody in their life. You're ungrateful and don't know when to give up. When will you figure out that no one wins at the game called High School. I'm surprised a whore like you isn't knocked up with 5 kids." I said as I crossed my arms and smirked. I heard chuckles from everyone in the crowd.

I could see the anger in her eyes. She wanted to say something but she didn't know what. All she did was push me. It was a hard push, enough to make me stumble back. I was infuriated. I stepped back up to her and cocked my arm back and let it go. I punched her in the center of her face. When she fell on the ground, I jumped on top of her. People were laughing, some people were gasping and some people were just standing there watching.
I grabbed Amanda by her hair and dug her face into the dirt.I stood up and kicked her in the stomach.Then I bent down and I punched her a couple more times until I felt a pair of hands on my shoulders. I turned around to see Brad. He pulled me up off of the ground and took me by the hand and lead me out of the courtyard. He took me to my locker and told me to get my stuff so we could leave.

" Audrey get your stuff so we can take you to James' house." I said as I gripped her arm. She just looked at me then opened her locker. I can't believe she beat Amanda's ass like that. I know that years of pent up anger can result in something bad, but not this bad. Amanda's face literally looks like a peice of shit now. Audrey got her stuff and we ran out of the building, but before we got out of the parking lot , Principle Hunter was standing at the front of the school with the school's resource officer.
" And where do you think you 5 are going?" He said with his arms crossed. He glared at me then looked at Audrey who was still shaking with anger and fear.
" You 5. In my office. Now!" He said as his voice got bolder. Audrey looked at me and tears filled her eyes. I pulled her into a hug as we walked to Principle Hunters office. James looked down and sighed, Connor balled up his fist, and Tristan took off his beanie and sat in one of the office chairs. Audrey and I were the last two to walk in the office. When we walked in we saw a pretty infuriated Amanda sitting in the chair next to the wall.

"This bitch." Amanda mumbled under her breath.
" I'm sorry, I didn't hear you. What? Speak up." Audrey said as she lifted her head off of my shoulder. I felt her whole body tense up.
" Stop it drey, let it go. She is just mad that you beat her ass." I whispered into her ear. She sat back into her chair and laid her head on my shoulder. I felt her whole body loosen.

" Audrey Hill and Amanda Covington. I see you two have gotten into a fight in the courtyard." Principle Hunter said as scanned their records.
" Duh Principle Hunter. Don't you see that this bitch ruined my face!" Amanda practically screamed. I felt Audrey's body tense up. I put my hand on her thigh and waited for her body to lossen up. When it did, she sunk further down in the seat.
" Miss Covington, don't use that language in my office. I saw the video of the fight," Principle Hunter said. Audrey just sighed. " I think it was unacceptable behavior on both parts. I made the decision of expelling you both. You both have 2 months. Come back in May, and we will talk about your future then." Principle Hunter finished.
" What ! 2 months? I just defended myself." Audrey yelled.
" Stop is Miss Hill, you don't want to dig yourself in a deeper hole. You four are expelled for a month. All six of you get your stuff and leave the school campus. I will call your parents later." Principle Hunter said as he pointed at all of us. We all just sighed. I pulled Audrey out of the office before she got herself into more trouble that she didn't need to be in.

" 2 months. This is crazy!" Audrey screamed as we walked out of the school.
" Audrey, stop it. Calm down. We will spend our suspension together okay?" James said as he grabbed Audrey's shoulders and gazed into her eyes. I felt jealousy coursing through my vains. I mean I don't have a right to be jealous. We are all bestfriend.
" Do you guys want some burgers? My treat." Connor said as he stopped walking.
" Sure." We all said in unison. We all made a U-turn and walked in the direction of the new burger place, which was about a mile and a half, but we didn't really care.
