just a day ago you had sworn you heard someone utter your name under their breath, talking to their friends and spreading useless little rumours about you . it was some random girl, one you had zero classes with. who is she to tell anyone fake stories about you?

but you ignored it. however, like all rumours, it spread to other people. the school was huge, and luckily, not many people heard anything, but a couple people in your grade had started giving you dirty looks in the halls and during class.

you kept your head down until you felt someone rush past you, making you stumble back. skyler, your ‘enemy’. she was just another bully who talked smack about you, but the only girl who had the nerve to pick on you and call you names to your face in public.

though she didn’t stop at you. she kept walking, her strides long and determined. her eyes were on the same girl who spread rumours about you yesterday, maya conklin. for a second, maya’s back was turned, talking to friends. the next, her back was against a locker, punches getting thrown to her face.

by.. skyler?

what would skyler have against maya? skyler was two grades above with no interest in any younger randoms who didnt bother her personally. so why was she practically punching maya’s teeth in?

skyler shortly got seperated from maya, her knuckles only a bit bruised while maya’s face was covered in swells and bruises, blood trickling from her nose. maya was taken away to a nurse, while skyler stood there, panting heavily and leaning against her locker. nobody dared to go near her, but everybody was so damn curious as to why it was maya that skyler had to fight.
