"Can you move your truck please?" I hollered out of my window. Joey just walked toward my truck."We need to talk." He said when he approached my window. "Why? We talked last night." I said sarcastically."Come on Erica. Just hear me out." He said as he opened my door."You can stop right there, Joey Matthews." I said grabbing my door to close it. He grabbed the door and held it open. "I don't want to start anything, I just wanna talk." He said trying to make eye contact with me, but I looked somewhere else because I knew I wouldn't be able to stand up for myself if I made eye contact."Well, I'm not ready to talk. So if you will please move your truck." I said as I slammed my door shut. I turned on the four wheel drive and took off through the field to the road.When I arrived at school Quinn, Luke, Warren, Ephraim, and Alley were waiting for me. I just sighed and parked at the far end of the parking lot. I looked in the rearview mirror and fixed my hair. I reached in the back for my books and got out. My friends met me half way through the parking lot."How are you doing?" Quinn asked as she hugged me. "I'm alright. Let's just forget about this please." I said as I walked ahead."Forget about this?Are you serious? What are you going to do about Joey?" Alley bombarded me with questions. I turned to look at my friend. She was standing with all her weight on her right foot and her hand was on her hip."I don't know what I'm going to do yet, but I just want to get through the day and go home." I replied. I turned back around and started walking again, just then HE cut me off from my destination. He jumped out of the truck."Erica we have to talk." He was almost begging me."Get back in the truck and leave!" Luke warned as he stormed up to my side."Luke stop. Joey, I'll talk when I'm ready." I said walking away. Joey grabbed my arm and Luke tackled him pulling me down with them. "Luke stop!" Quinn yelled as she pulled on Luke. Luke was on top of Joey just punches him. I stood up and pulled at Joey. Quinn and I separated the two. Joey was bleeding and Luke's jaw was beginning to swell. "Luke! What the hell!" I yelled."Why are you defending him?" "Why are you doing to him what he did to me?!" I yelled. Everyone stopped surprised at my statement. "Why would you do something that you were so pissed off about someone doing the same thing to me? What's the difference?" I yelled. "He deserved it!" Luke yelled. I know I thought to myself. "Let me fight my own battles. I don't you to be acting like one of my brothers!" I yelled. Luke looked at me blankly like my words stung him. I turned around to face Joey and saw Mr. Brown the government teacher coming toward us."Hey! You kids need to get to class now!" He said as he approached us. "What's going on out here?" He asked when he saw Joey and Luke glaring at each other. "Mr. Brown, we're going now. Everything's under control." I said as I pulled Joey to his truck and signaled for everyone else to follow me. "Erica? Where did you get that black eye?" Mr. Brown asked looking at me. Before I could answer him Luke jumped in."From him!" He said pointing toward where Joey was parking."Is that true?" He asked looking concerned."Yeah, so?" I said shrugging it off. I started walking to the school. "Miss Brady, I'd like you to come to the office with me please." Mr. Brown said. "No!" I said sternly."Miss Brady, you have to press charges." "No, I don't." I yelled and I took off to my car. "Erica!" Everyone yelled after me. Quinn ran after me. "Erica, stop for a minute." she said as she caught up with me."WHAT?!" I yelled as I spun around. "Hey, chill out." "Well I can't thanks to everyone else." "Look I'm sorry, You need to deal with this, not us. I suggest you talk to a counselor though." "Look I'm just so confused and now that Brown knows I'm afraid he's going to press charges." "I just want to know why you're defending him." "I don't know, I just don't know." I said. I was so confused. I looked around to parking lot for everyone else, but all I saw were cars. "Where'd everybody go?" I asked Quinn "I don't know. They probably went to class."
