Soon everyone was make a circle around us. I could feel my heartbeat increase, fear and adrenaline shot through me. My hands started shaking with all the attention surrounding me. That is something I hated when people's attention or focus was on me.

"Yesterday was a GREAT day don't you think little miss crybaby" Carla snarled

"I don't know"

"Getting me sent to the office and to top everything off, I got detention for a week, all because you couldn't walk properly and trip over my feet"

"I'm sorry, but you tripped me on purpose" I whispered

"I SoORRY, repeat that one more" she lean forward cupping her hand behind her ear.

"I said you tripped me on purpose" I spoke a bit louder.

"Okay then, can you tell if this is on purpose too?" Bam I felt her fist collide with my left cheek.

Falling backwards on my butt, my eyes sting with tears of the pain and humiliation. I held my cheek in my left hand, desperate to wipe my tears away with my right hand. I always hated crying in front people.

Noise was all around me as the learners murmured and some laugh at what happened.

I heard footsteps coming towards us down the corridor, some students scatter away from the crowd. I heard teachers yelling for everyone to move along to their classroom. I stood up and wipe myself down .

Looking up I saw Ms Isaacs and the principal in front of us.

"What the HELL happened here, it's only 8 in the morning, do you think anyone has time for this crap" Mr Adams yelled looking at me and Carla.

He is 5'4 and chubby, in the middle of his head was no hair while the rest of his head had hair. His black and red suit was to big for him and overall he just looked like a slob.

Moving my eyes away from him, I finally got a proper look at Ms Isaacs. She look absolutely beautiful, she wear a black tight fitted dress with thin strips with a pair of nude heels. Her was straightened, she wear a pair of stud earrings and a butterfly necklace on her neck.

The dress accentuated her body, she really had a body of a goddess.

Looking into her eyes, her eyes held concern as it move to my cheek. Subconsciously I move my hand to cover my cheek.

"I want both of you in my office NOW" he yelled, turning around and walked away as he expected us to follow him.

Flinching at the sound, I quickly followed behind him. Carla and Ms Isaacs falling behind.

Enteric the office, we took a seat as the principal walk back and forth behind his desk, he stopped, turn around and stare at us. For a minute no words were spoken. Fiddling with my hands, pulling the skin of my nail beds. Something I did when I was anxious.

"One of you better tell me what happened out there"

"Well...it is all her fault Mr Adams, she accused me of something I did not do" she huff, crossing her arms

"Well, what did she accuse you of and why does her face sport a blue mark" he narrowed his eyes at her.

"Uhmmm.." she stutter looking nervously around.

"Eva, if you could tell your side of the story"

I took a deep breath before speaking. I looked at Ms Isaacs, she gave me a nod to speak.

"Carla and her friends surrounded me as I enter the hallway, I knew something was going to happen because it happened numerous times before" my voice cracked.

"She started speaking about the incident of yesterday, where she tripped me I class, Ms Isaacs send her to the office. She got upset about it and having to spend a week in detention. I told her that what she did was on purpose and that is when she strike me in the face with her fist"

Tears were streaming down my face at this point. I was done with her. Being hurt over nothing.

Mr Adams face held sympathy and anger.

Clearing his throat "Our school does not condone bullying and seeing that it happen more than once, Carla you will be expelled, Eva I'm sorry that happen to you, that's all" he sat down in his chair and got working.

"WHAT, YOU CANT DO THAT, IM TELLING MY DADDY" she screamed and stomp her feet.

She huff and slam the door open and walked away. Shortly after her I left.
