Mckenzie screamed. Loud. She dabbed at the food on her face before screaming again. Natalie gasps.s "ohmygod, are you alright? C'mon, let's go." She guided the distraught Inkling out of the cafeteria.
The room was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop. The only sound after a moment was Noelle standing up, her head lowered (imagine those black lines that appear on anime faces when someone's mad). She left her tray exactly where it was, u touching, but before she even took a step, she heard a chuckle. The source was, of course, the lead Bad Boy. He was followed by another sound, coming from Noelle's table. Jordan was trying to cover her face, but failed miserably as she stared at Noelle. A few small bits of laughter erupted around the cafeteria, mostly girls. The boys just looked distraught.
Noelle stifled a sigh as she silently walked out of the lunch room, heading for the bathroom down the hallway.

Conor's face was shocked, like he had seen Sasha turn into a dragon right before his eyes. "How... why... you just." The noise of the cafeteria had returned to normal, and only a few people on the nobody table had seen it. Those who had jumped at Sasha, asking her questions and highfiving her. "That was awesome!" One yelled, "You have the aim of an archer!" She smiled, she was an archer. "Thanks." She felt a little pride at the praise of others. Oh god! This will spread like wild fire.
The entire table had gone chasing after one of the girls, but not Dallas. He sat at his table, throwing food into the air and wiping it off his face when he missed. -
Th door slammed open. In stepped Noelle, anger flaring in her eyes. At the sink stood Natalie and Mckenzie, trying to rub the food from her face. She was crying at the same time. Both students froze and stared at her.
"Noelle, please understand. I didn't mean it," Mckenzie begged for forgiveness. El was considered the head Popular, but she didn't feel like a leader. Noelle just rolled her eyes and came up by the sink next to them. "She's giving us the silent treatment," Natalie whispered to Mckenzie, and they both shuddered.Noelle couldn't believe what had happened. How much would this affect her reputation? Would Inklings look at her differently? Would she become the 'Spaghetti Women of Elmore Ink High'?
She finally scrubbed the last of the salsa off of her face and sighed. Mckenzie and Natalie had left soon after she had arrived. Noelle was happy for this, she wasn't alone for long. Stepping out of the bathroom, she came face to face with three boys, all from Dallas's table. She could tell.(You should make a best friend for Dallas)
-
(Okay here, he's the first word in the first sentence.)
Steven stood abruptly, obviously he was dying to follow them. He looked down at Dallas pleadingly. "Just go." He sighed. Steven gave a thankful nod and sped towards the bathroom, fortunately, Natalie was just leaving.
Sasha felt the slightest bit of hope that the news would stay with this group, but that hope vanished when she saw one of the girls whispering to one of the boys following Natalie. This is it. She calmed a bit, Not like I want to be a popular anyways. What's the worst they'll do, give me the silent treatment. She chuckled to herself calming almost completely, Too late. Who knows, being the topic for the gossip this evening might be interesting. -
Noelle pushed past them before they could even speak and marched down the hallway, towards the front doors. Mckenzie and Natalie are such b!tches. She muttered a few curse words under her breath. She stopped at her locker and opened it, rooting through her backpack for her bubblegum pack. Chewing it always seemed to calm her down.
-
As Sasha expected, news that she threw the plate was school wide news. Her face was a deep red as she passed through the halls, getting dirty looks or getting congratulated, no in between. Dreading the trip to her locker, she passed Natalie and Mkcenzie. Pride overflowed and she puffed out her chest, drawing only more pride from their hostile stares. Pride filled her brain and she turned to them, "Keep staring, I might rub off on you, then you might finally get a grade better than a C-." Gasps filled the halls and Sasha was bombarded with praise. "Oh burn!" Yelled one Jock. "Hashtag rekt!" Another shouted. The group surrounded her and escorted her to her locker.
-
The words wouldn't stop coming. "Oh, did you hear about the girl at lunch who slapped Mckenzie in the face with spaghetti?" "Did 'ya get the news? Some girl completely rekt Mckenzie!" "I think her name is Sasha? Noelle totally owes her one."
Beside her, she heard someone whisper Sasha's name, and that was the last straw. She slammed her locker shut and stormed off outside. She didn't understand why she was so p!ssed, but there was an anger directed towards Sasha that she couldn't shake. So, Noelle would resort to what she usually did when sh!t went down: she ditched school. Just walked right out the doors. Not looking back. Noelle normally hung out at the basketball court down the street, less popular and less crowded usually. -
Sasha looked around her at the crowd, something caught her eye. A face in the crowd, a girl dressed like Mkcenzie, her eyes were shrunken to slivers. "Geez, if I didn't know better, I'd think she had murder on the brain." Conor laughed at the thought, "You know the consequences of what you did." She shrugged. Then she laughed, "Do you really think that someone could kill me?" Only Conor knew, but she was trained in a lot of fighting. She loved the thought of being able to kick someone's leg to shreds.
Dallas watched as Noelle burst out, "Woah, talk about a tantrum!" He joked. He didn't know her, but he made a joke where there was a joke to be made. -
(Timeskip to...afternoon?)
Checking the time, school had officially ended. Noelle had moved herself to the b-ball court at school, and actually had gotten out a ball for herself. She didn't attempt any shots, just twirled it on her finger, which she was pretty good at.
Tommy was the first one outside, racing over to her, worried. "Hey, where were you all afternoon?" he asked. "Places," Noelle muttered. "This isn't gonna fair well for your grades, 'ya know?" Noelle nodded, continuing to twirl the ball. There was no getting to her, so Tom just allied away. -
(What if they had to move in together or something, like one lost their house and saw an add for a roommate in the paper. Crazy idea.)
Sasha walked out of school. She said her good bye's to Conor as she began the long walk home. As she was passing the b-ball court, she realized she was being followed. Slowly she looked around, no body was too close by, and those that were close-ish were popular. One person was close though, the girl Sasha had seen with Mkcenzie's clothes. Speeding up a bit, she headed towards the public restroom in the court. The other girl sped up too.
Dallas yawned, padding along the road with Steven at his heals. "Come on, we'll be home tomorrow at this rate." Steven moaned. Steven and Dallas weren't related, but they lived together. -
(Sasha and Noelle? Or Dallas and Noelle? I'm guessing the girl)
Checking the time on her phone, she realized it was about time to be heading home. Glancing around, she caught sight of To,my just about to leave. She quickly sped up to walk beside him. Without saying a word, the traveled down the sidewalk together.
Noelle quickly glanced around. Ahead of them were two bad boys, Dallas and his 'sidekick', Steven. Behind them, there was no one. El bit her lip. "Hey, you didn't see the whole fiasco in the cafeteria, did you?" Noelle asked Tommy. Hopefully, the boys were out of earshot. "The only way I wouldn't have seen it was if I was blind," Tommy said with a snort. "That girl put on quite a show, chucking the food at Mckenzie." Noelle seemed to tense up, but Tom didn't seem to notice. -
Sasha turned around, "Hey, back off." She challenged, but the girl got closer. "You made her a fool!" She snapped. "Woah, stay away!" The best idea was to run, so she did. She sped off into the park and onto the sidewalk.
Dallas turned around to see Noelle and Tommy following them. Pausing for a moment, Steven sent one boot into his calf. "Keep your guard up!" He snickered. Dallas smiled, "Oh that's a change of pace." He jumped at Steven, wrapping his arms around his neck. Steven leaned over, pulling Dallas off the ground.
Then, through everything, an earth shattering scream. -
Noelle's ears dang long after the scream had stopped. Glancing ahead, it hadn't come from the dummies, rough-housing all of a sudden. Past them, everything was normal.
Beside her, she felt Tommy tense up nervously. "What the h3ll was that?" he asked tentatively. -
Dallas released Steven from his death grip. They both looked in the direction where it had come from. "Why are we all just standing here! Someone's in trouble." Dallas took off, Steven right behind him. "You girls can stay here, wouldn't want your hands getting dirty." He winked at them, but it seemed directed at one.
-
Noelle watched them run off, frowning. "I'm not some prissy little b!tch like Mckenzie. I could go find out what it was," she muttered under her breath.
Tommy gazed at her nervously. "Who do you think it was? What do you think happened? I bet someone died." He began to chew on his nails, a habit.
She rolled her eyes. "Let's go find out." She looked ahead, waiting until Dallas and Steven rounded a corner,before taking off after them, making sure to stay out of their line of sight. -
Dallas and Steven looked down in awe at the b-ball court. "I- I don't think anybody died." His positive attitude was annoying at times, but Dallas barely noticed. He stepped forward, picking up the blood stained backpack and putting it safely on the bleachers.
Before them a girl lay on the ground, at first glance she looked like Mckenzie. She lay limp on the ground, her chest moving steadily up and down, laying in a pool of blood. She wasn't bleeding. In her hands, clenched still as she was unconscious, was a knife.
(Muahahaha!) -
(3 pages in an already sh!t's going down XD)
Noelle peeks around the corner and immediately smelled the stench of blood. She noticed a pool of it, bubbling out of s girl on the ground. Dallas and Steven stood over her. "Oh. My. God," El breathed. Tommy gasped beside her, and he almost shouted out loud. Noelle stopped him.
"Stay her. I'm going to get a closer look." She shoved Tom into the shadows before stalking closer to the crime scene. A twig snapped beneath her, and she cringed, shrinking into the bushes. Maybe they didn't hear it. There tiny brains hopefully can't comprehend such a simple sound. -
(I know, I know this is getting real!)
"She- she's not bleeding!" Steven had crouched beside her, his eyes glued to the knife. "Were did all the blood come from!" He began to panic, his breathing became shallow and rushed. "Oh god!"
Dallas stepped over the blood pool, crossing his arms over his chest, he tried to hide his fear. "L-look." He stuttered. In the direction of his hand, there was a trail of blood, several footprints trailed through it, swerving as if the person was dizzy. -
Breathing a sigh of relief, Noelle stepped closer to get a better view. Not her own blood? What... She gulped, and could actually sense some fear coming from them, most of it from Steven, but she could feel a bit coming from Dallas.
They're going to follow it. And I'm coming with them. She stepped out of the fronds, blowing a bubble slowly as she approached them. Her gaze was unreadable, but her hands were trembling. She popped the bubble and stopped a few feet behind Dallas. "At least she's not dead." -
Dallas ran along the path of blood, he sped up when the blood trail grew thicker. As they got closer to a alley, they saw a backpack on the ground. "What even happened?" Steven sounded lost.
