Jacoby's eyes widened when he saw me,"Frankie?!"He sat next to me,"What're you doing here?!"
I shrugged,"got in a fight with her."I pointed to Ali.I stared at him,"What are you doing here?"
He smiled,"I got into trouble with my maths teacher.The man hates me."
The principal looked at me,"Well it's like a family reunion here isn't it?"he said sarcastically.
I sighed,I was in deep trouble...

"Did you know your sister is a rasist?" I said to the boy that came out of the office. I didn't care. I stood up for Chloe and that is what matters.

"One at a time, in my office, starting with you." He pointed to the loner kid and Kida watched as he disappeared back into his office. Kida began rambling to herself in Spanish. "El muchacho estúpido causa una lucha y las dos muchachas me consiguen en el infierno para él."
"Racist?" Jacoby widened his eyes.

I nodded to him.
"Yes. She refused to speak to me and she insulted my family. No-one who isn't a rasist would do that. Why would she refuse to even say hi if she wasn't?"

"Look, I'm sorry muchacha, the gothic muchacha was clearly staring at the new muchacho. She wasn't ingnoring you on purpose." Kida said irritated at her ignorance.

I sat down in the chair by his desk,he sat down in front of me,well...behind his desk.
"Your homeroom teacher just called."He said,"She says you were fighting."
I nodded,"Yeah,but I had a reason."
He sighed,"What?"
"There was an extremely hot dude that I liked and she was flirting with him."I smiled.
He simply shook his head,"Trouble seems to run in your family doesn't it?because you've just earned yourself a month's worth of detentions!"
"WHAT?!?!?!"I yelled.
He just smiled,"You can leave now."
I stood up and walked towards the door.I saw Ali when I walked out,"I hate you."

"I'd watch Poland, she looks like she could curse you if she tried. She gotta lot of hate at the moment by the look of things."

I walked out the front doors of the school and sat on the wall.I took a cigarette from my pocket and lit it.I took a drag.
"I didn't know you smoked."
I turned round quickly to see Jacoby,"I'm stressed out."
He sat next to me,"Mom's gonna kill you if she finds out."
I took yet another drag,"I really don't care.It was Ali's fault that I was in a fight anyways.She got all sensitive when I never said hi to her,because I was staring at Quinn."
He shook his head,"Was that the dude that was sitting next to you?"
I nodded,"Yeah."
Jacoby smiled,"He was hot!"
I stared at him,"You sound gay!"
He laughed,"I'm not.I'm bi..."

*DUN DUN DUUUUUUN!!!*

"So, why were those chics so damn mental?" Quinn quizzed me.
"Well, muchacho, one liked the look of you and the other thought the loner was racist and then it collides and you got involved with the collision and I watched. Then Helin put me here. Must tell mum to lock her out of the house..."

I stared at him,"Seriously?!"
He smiled nervously,"Uh...yeah."
I hugged him,"Go You!!!"

"Hate you too," I said coldly and walked into the office, sitting down.
"First day and fighting allready. I think your going to be causing trouble in this school."
"I was under racial and verbal abuse. I was sticking up for myself and my family."
He sucked in his breath. "Who?"
I considered. I could mention it was the loner girl, but I didn't want her to get in anymore trouble. I shrugged.
"I took care of it sir."
He sighed.
"Look, since your new I will let you off with a warning, but if you so much as say the word fight you will be marched straight into detention. Is that clear?"
"Yes sir," I said to him, standing up.
"Send the next one in," he ordered. I nodded and left. I stopped infront of Quinn on my way out.
"Your turn."
I sighed and mooched on back to homeroom.

I walked back inside with Jacoby.We stopped outside the office when we saw Quinn walk out.
"I got detention!A month's worth!I would've gotten away with a warning,but apparently I gave him attitude!"
I sighed,"I'm so sorry!"
He shrugged,"What'd you get?"
"Same as you,"I replied.
Jacoby smiled,"I think I'd better go..."He walked off,leaving me in the corridor with Quinn.
"What've you got?"He asked me.
I sighed,"Chemistry."
He smiled,"Me too!I'll walk with ya..."
I smiled,WOOHOO!!!

The bell rang and I slowly stopped wandering the corridors. I sighed when I saw I had chemistry. My least favourite subject. At least Chloe had this class. I smiled when I saw her come along the hall.
"Heyy!" she said and waggled her fingers. She linked arms with me. "A little birdie told me you wigged that creepy loner in Homeroom. Serves her right. She is a right weird cow. Always sits with herself and acts like your mad if you say her brothers hot. Though he is a total fag anyway. You wouldn't think they were related would you?"
I blinked. She always spoke so fast and I was still not very sure on English. I paused.
"Is he gay? He didn't look it."
She sighed. "I didn't say he was. I said he acted like a fag. He would have to to put up with that trannie."
I giggled as we walked into the classroom. The teacher smiled and sat me at the back next to Chloe. I got out a pen and waited to be handed my books.

We walked into the classroom a little later than everyone else,I just made up some excuse and sat down.Quinn sat next to me.I was surprised,he smiled at me and I blushed.I could see Ali and Chloe near the back of the class.I knew Chloe must've known about the fight,she had a good ear for gossip.

"Wow," Chloe whispered when they walked in "He is the new hottie. Moved here from Utah, its all over the girls room. Wonder what his name is?"
I smiled, pleased to seem cool with Chloe and her two other friends, Tammy and Lisa. "Thats Quinn."
Lisa looked round, he peroxide blonde hair swishing Tammy in the face.
"Quinn? Seriously cool name! How do you know Aliana?"
"Please, call me Ali, and he told me."
"Seriously!?"
"Yeah."
"Whats he doing with that freak?"
"I don't know...I guess its because he is new and doesn't see what a rasist she is."
Tammy gasped and also turned round.
"Rasist?"
I nodded solemly.
"Seriously uncool!"
Lisa and Tammy turned round and began speaking. I wondered just what I had done.

We had to set up an experiment,so I dealt with the acid while Quinn went and got the food we were going to put into it.He came back with some potato and apple,and we started the experiment.At one point we both reached for the same thing and our hands met.I looked away quickly to hide the fact I was blushing.I could hear whispering behind us and I turned to see that Chloe and her gang were the source.I shook my head,they were doing the experiment wrong...

Chloe dropped a bit of potato into a testube and filled it up with acid. She was to busy talking to pay attention.
"Chloe!" I said urgently as it bubbled over and splashed over her hand. She squealed and dropped the testube so it smashed onto the floor. We all hopped back to stop it going on our shoes. The teacher came up and was not impressed.
"Gossiping again Chloe? Quick, get yourself to the sink now, infact no, go to sickbay, they will take care of that. Aliana, Lisa, Tammy, you go work with otehr groups, I will phone the caretaker. Tammy go in Michaels group. Lisa, you go with Grace and Aliana, you pair up with Quinn and Frankie."
I tried to protest but sensing her anger I mooched over to Quinn and the girl, who was apparently called Frankie. I grabbed my bag and sidled up to them. I put it on the floor and stood there, not quite sure what to do.

I looked up to see that Ali had joined our group.Great.I knew I had to apologise for what had happened.
"Look,Ali.I'm sorry about this morning,I shouldn't have said what I said,but I didn't say any racist comments."
Quinn looked up,"She didn't Ali."
I smiled,hoping she would accept my apology,but I had to carry on with the experiment.Quinn took down some notes,while I sat and drew him.Without him knowing of course!

I looked back to see the mess that Chloe had caused and shook my head.
"No, I am sorry. You didn't I know you didn't. Its just you insulted my family, family is a big thing for me. I know Chloe is a bit....trying...at times, but she is still my blood. I have to stick up for her. I am so so sorry. Are you allright? I didn't hurt your neck did I?" I said, feeling slightly more relaxed here.

I looked up from my drawing,blushing slightly,"No,I'm fine.What about you?I hit you pretty hard!"
Quinn looked at me,"Do you want to copy my notes?"
I nodded,"Sure."I moved my arm and my Chemistry notebook fell to the floor.Tammy picked it up.Oh no!It was my new one,and the drawing was on the first page!!!

I touched the part of my face where she hit me, it stung a litte but nothing major. I smiled.
"No. I'm fine. So..can we put this all behind us?" I asked as her sketchbook fell to the floor. Tammy happened to be passing at the time, and picked it up.
"What do we have here?" she said happily tossing it from hand to hand.
"Tammy, give it here," I said, extending my hand.
"No. You'll give it back."
"Tammy," I said, my temper rising. I hate bullies.
She opened the front page and shrieked with delight.
"Oh My Gawd! The freak drew Quinn! Look, catch a deck at this! She has doodled Quinn in her book!"
"Tammy! Stop it! Give it here!" I said loudly. She cackled.
"Why would I do that? Look, you may be Chole's cousin but your still a fecking foreigner! Your still an immigrant! Your still a smelly fecking polack! Why should I give it to you? So you can steal it like you are our housing and jobs!?"
I flew at her. I pushed her to the ground and punched her hard in the nose, feeling the bone crunch in my knuckles. I grabbed the book from her and tossed it to Frankie before going back to laying into Tammy. I continued hitting her until someone prised me off of her.
"Rasist Bastard!" I screamed as I was dragged from the classroom.

I put the book down on the desk,I was red with embarassment.Quinn looked at me,"Let's see..."He took the book from my trembling hands and opened it.I could feel tears forming in my eyes.I picked up my black messenger bag and ran out of the classroom.Tears streaming down my face.I ran into the girls' bathroom and locked myself in one of the stalls.I'd never felt so humiliated in my life...

I was pushed into the principles office and shunted into a seat. This time he exploded. I blinked and looked at him as he shouted.
"Explain yourself!"
"Tammy stole Frankie's sketchbook and I was getting it back."
"By breaking her nose?!"
"She called me a dirty foreigner. I wasn't going to just sit and take it was I?"
"Don't talk to me like that! I have had enough of you. Get back to your class. You have earned yoruself to months detention and a letter home! No get out of my sight!"
I stood up and left the room. I sighed. I didn't feel like going back to class so I mooched off to the tiolets. I could hear strange snorty noises.
"Hey," I said "Who is it? Are you allright?"

I heard Ali's voice.I opened the door and caught my reflection in the mirror,I looked horrible,my eyeliner was evrywhere,and my eyes were red and puffy from crying.I walked up to her and hugged her,"Q-Quinn s-saw m-m-my d-drawing o-of h-h-him!"

I hugged her back. She looked so upset, I could have killed Tammy.
"Its allright. Look, I think I got Tammy back enough for both of us. I broke her nose. She is a cow, just ignore her. I am sure Quinn won't do anything. If anything he should feel honoured that you decided to draw him. Its not as bad as you think. It may take him a little time to get his head round it, I mean this has been one mega first day. I have been here two hours and managed to get a two month detention. Cheer up Frankie. Please?"
I took one hand away and fished out a pack of tissues from my skirt pocket.
"Here, take one of these."
