"Hey, bitch!" I heard an annoying voice calling out to me in the school's hallway.

I closed my locker.

"What's up, whore?" I smirked while I slowly turned around to look at Jessica.

She rolled her eyes.

"I want you to stay away from my future husband." She informed me with her hands on her hips and I raised an eyebrow at her.

"And who would that be?" I asked as I gradually looked around in the crowded hallway.

"Tyson King, of course." She claimed as she took a step forward and I scoffed.

"Well, that's a funny story, but good luck." I said as I gave her a thumbs up and she suddenly shoved me in the shoulder.

I sighed when I leaned against my locker and I looked at her while she stood in my personal space.

"And you have the audacity to think I was just going to forget about what you did to my face?" She glared at me while pointing to her eyes.

That's when I realized I had given her a black eye during our last encounter and she concealed it with extra makeup.

"That was all because of you." I recalled as I shrugged my shoulders.

"I'm sure you can understand my situation since I've mommy issues and according to the media, you're real Mother is dead." She exhaled a sigh while looking at me with pity on her face.

I narrowed my eyes at her.

"What did you just say?" I asked as I shoved her in the chest and she took a step back.

"Nobody likes you and if they do, it's just because your daddy is rich." She started to laugh while pointing at me.

"And you think everyone likes you?" I scoffed at her as I turned to walk away and she continued to laugh.

"Yeah, keep walking, you don't want to end up like your Mom now...oh wait, she's dead." I heard her shouting and I stopped in my tracks with my hands in fists.

"Are you seriously trying to pick a fight with me?" I started to laugh as I turned around to look at her while realizing most students were currently watching us from the lockers in the hall.

"Again?" I glared as I approached her and she smirked at me.

"I've been waiting for a rematch." She confessed as she quickly caught her hair up in a messy bun and I dropped my bag to the floor before I charged at her.

I punched her in the face while she grabbed for my hair and we both stumbled to the floor.

Then hell broke loose as we tossed each other on the floor while throwing fists and grabbing hair.

"Ashley...stop!" I heard Tyson voice and I realized he was currently trying to pull me away from her.

"This...whore...needs...to...know...where...she...belongs...and...that's...in...hell!" I screamed between punches while I straddled her on the floor and she groans as her nose started to bleed.

"Oh, fuck you, bitch!" Jessica screamed at me and I gripped her by the hair while Tyson pulled me away.

"Miss Ashley Sky!" I heard the Principal of the school yelling my name as he approached us.

I glared at him.

"What?" I angrily snapped in response while standing before Tyson and I heard students gasping in the hallway.

"TO MY OFFICE NOW!" The Principal yelled at me as he pointed down the hallway.

"Why are you yelling...I am right here." I said while I ran a hand through my hair.

"Bye, bitch." Jessica somehow found the strength to speak as she slowly stood up from the floor.

I looked at her new black eye, her bloody nose and she also had a small bruise on her lips.

Then I rolled my eyes when I started to taste blood on my tongue.

"Okay, whore." I simply said as I looked the other way.

"TO MY OFFICE NOW!" The Principal yelled at me while shoving Jessica along the way.

"Aye, Aye, Captain." I saluted the Principal before I started to walk.

Then I saw Tyson laughing with Mason as I headed towards the office with Jessica grumbling behind me with the Principal.

*********

"I still can't believe you got two weeks suspension." Chase told me as he continued to watch the recap of the fight on his phone.

The fight was somehow recorded and posted online at the student's private website for the next 24 hours.

I shrugged.

"You punched the shit out of that bitch." Noah yelled in enthusiasm while catching some nearby attentions and I chuckled.

We all were currently in a public park and I was eating ice cream.

"Where did you learn how to fight like that?" Carlos questioned me and I exhaled a sigh.

"I had some basic boxing training back home." I admitted while looking at my ice-cream cone.

"Oh." They all said and Tyson stared at me in silence.

"Shit...Ashley get inside the car." Mason started to pull me towards the parked cars and I watched as the rest of my ice-cream cone fell to the ground.

Then I realized the boys had a serious expression on their faces even Noah and I was concerned.

"What...why?" I asked while I looked at Mason.

"They are already here." I heard Tyson saying as he stood before me while Mason and the others circled around me.

"Who's here?" I said, curiously.

"Shush." Chase told me and I rolled my eyes since I couldn't see much due to these walking skyscrapers.

I carefully listened when I heard movements approaching us.

"Tyson, my dude..." I suddenly heard an unknown guy's voice.

"It seems like you got more assholes in your gang." The guy continued to speak in a husky tone.

"What do you want, Sam?" Tyson decided to question the guy's sudden presence.

"I was just..." He suddenly stopped speaking.

"Wait...what are you guys hiding?" The same voice questioned and I slightly tensed up.

"Nothing to concern you." Tyson responded, bluntly.

"Oh...and I thought we were just about to be friends." I heard the guy chuckling.

"Why would we be friends with our rivals?" I heard Chase speaking and there was a round of laughter.

How many guys are here?

"Anyways...I want to see what's worth hiding behind you.'' This Sam guy insisted.

"Or else what?" Tyson decided to challenge him and he laughed.

"Guns to guns, aren't we?" Sam started to clap his hands and I rolled my eyes in silence.

"Look, we don't want trouble." I heard Mason informing them.

"And what's the fun in that, huh?" I heard Sam questioning.

"It's better this way." Tyson claimed and there were footsteps ascending towards us.

"Move." I heard Sam demanding and Tyson chuckled bitterly before he stepped aside.

"My oh my....such a cutie, huh?" The guy had sandy blond hair with gray eyes and he seemed to be in his mid twentys.

I glared him then I realized we were surprisingly outnumbered by the group of boys standing across us in Sam's command.

"You saw what you needed to see, now move." Chase demanded as he pulled me behind him.

"Okay...don't be so mad, I was just looking at her...geez." Sam rolled his eyes while raising his hands into the air.

"Let's go." I heard Tyson ordering and we started to move towards the cars, once again.

Then I was roughly pulled back by Sam, himself and I looked him in the face.

"Sam, release her this instance.'' Tyson demanded as he glared.

"Easy, dude...it's just a girl, she doesn't really..." I interrupted him by elbowing his stomach and he slightly groaned while releasing my arm.

"What were you saying?" I asked as I stepped away from him and he looked at me.

"Bitch." He called me while he stepped foward and I smirked at him as Tyson pulled me aside.

"Wasn't that fun enough for you?" Tyson chuckled at him and he glared at us while raising a finger into the air.

"She's a feisty one, so I will let this slide." He pointed at me before fanning us away and I scoffed as Mason started to pull me towards the cars for the third time.

"But, next time we meet, Tyson, I will definitely make sure we all are having fun." I heard Sam declaring in a suspicious tone and I watched as he diverted his attention from Tyson to me.

"I'll be looking forward to it, Sam." Tyson responded before he started to walk backwards with his gang and I stood beside the car door with Mason while watching.

I watched as Sam slowly departed with his group in the park and Tyson approached the parked cars with the boys.

"Are you okay?" Tyson decided to ask while he stood beside me at the car and I slowly nodded as Mason started to speak.

"Well, let's go home, dudes."
