him and shrugged. Gabriel walked over and sat down. Mr. Craw started the lesson by handing out a pop quiz. But when it came my turn to get one he called me outside. I got up and walked out of the class.


"Everything ok?" he asked looking at me with suspicion. I nodded. "Yeah. Everything is fine." i said hoping we weren't having this talk. "Fia. I know you better then that. Plus your lip seems busted pretty bad." he said touching his own lip. I nodded. "Its nothing. Really." i was stubborn when it came to these things. Mr. Craw sighed. "So i do have to ask Laura." Last nights scenes flashed through my mind and a tear fell from my eye. I wiped it away and told him everything was fine. He nodded and let me go back to class. As i sat down, he called Laura out. I curled up into a ball in my seat and buried my face in my knees. Now i was regretting not staying home. "Who hit you?" i looked up and saw the new kid Gabe looking back at me. I didn't answer, just looked out my window and stared at nothing.

Laura and Mr. Craw walked back in and he announced that pop quiz was over. Other students chatted happily as their papers were collected. Laura took her seat and sighed. "I didn't say anything." she whispered to me. I relaxed a bit and turned to look at her. "Thank you." she gave me a meaningful smile. I put my legs down and sat properly. Gabe turned around again and looked at me looking outside. "Your burning holes." i said not bothering to look at him. "But you don't burn." he said. I looked at him. He was either really weird or crazy. "You do know you said something really weird, right?" i stated. He nodded. "Yeah, but it got you to look at me, didn't it?" he smiled and turned to face front. I shook my head and tried to pay attention to the lesson.


It was the last class of the day when i got that feeling again. Some one was watching me. I looked behind me as i walked to my locker and noticed the new kid surrounded by girls. He looked irritatedly uncomfortable. Just as i was about to look away, he looked my way and our eyes met. I sighed and looked away. Taking out my next class books, i debated on whether to help him out of the pinch he was in. Being the nice person i was i shut my locker and walked to over to the crowd that surrounded him. Standing on the outside of the group, Gabe noticed me. His expression changed. The girls were being so loud around him i could barely hear myself think. "Move! Your blocking the way!" i said loudly. They got quiet and looked at me with annoyance. I walked in front of Gabe. "Come on. We have class" i walked passed him and he followed. The girls made a distasteful sound. "You owe me." i said as we turned into our class. "Ok. After school today?" he asked. "She's busy." Laura said walking in behind us. Gabe looked at her annoyed. "And you are?" Laura gave me a hug and link elbows. "Roommate and friend. Problem?" she said with a testing tone. He just shook his head. "Well thank for just now." he said as the teacher walked in. "Lets get started." he announced. Laura and i took our seats by the door and got comfortable for the last hour and a half of this difficultly dumb day.
"Class dismissed." said the teacher. We all filed out of the class. Some went to their lockers, other went to hang out with their friends, Laura and I went straight to the dorms. "Hows you lip?" Laura asked as we left walked through the school gates. "Its good. Hurts but its getting better." she nodded. "Did you get a glance at who it was?" she asked looking at me. I shook my head. "It was dark. But I think if i hear their voices, I'll figure it out." i said looking ahead. We were walking the same road i walked last night and it gave me the creeps. As we walked we noticed a few guys sitting on a bench just chatting. Passing by I listened and found what i was looking for. The three from last night.


We didn't go unnoticed. "Hey. I know you." one said getting up and walking to us. Fear flooded my, but i knew i shouldn't show them that. "I think you got the wrong person." i said, my palm sweating. We tried to quicken our pace, but the guy took my arm. "Your the chic from last night." he said looking at me with an expression i didn't want to understand. I tried to pull my arm away but he tightened his grip. I turned to Laura. "Get out of here." i mouthed. She shook her head, no. I looked at her desperately. "Let me go." i said still looking at her. She shook her head again. I wanted to scream at her to leave, but i didn't know what they planned. "Sorry but we can't. Lets go have a chat." he said pulling me away from Laura. I rooted my feet to the ground. "I'll go as long as you don't touch my friend." Laura looked at me bewildered. The guy looked her over and shrugged. "What do you say boys? Should we let her friend go?" he asked the other guys. They all nodded. "Ok. We won't touch her. Lets go." He jerked me from my place. Laura grabbed my other arm, but i pulled away. "Get out of here. Now!" i hissed at her. She shook her head again. "I'm not leaving without you." she said with a shaking voice. "Now!" I shouted. She flinched and ran toward the school again. The guys laughed at her. "What you did yesterday wasn't very nice." said one of the guys rubbing his cheek. "Your bag had something really hard." I didn't say a word. I looked at the ground and bit my lip. We walked off the road and into a tall bush maze.

"Sorry, we haven't properly met. I'm Mark. My buddies Ron, Kyle, Phil, John, and Tommy." he said pointing from left to right. I nodded. As we entered the maze, i got a feeling that i could run away, but i dared not. "So lets get this over with." said Phil. I looked up and met him palm. "Thats for the kick yesterday." i bit my lip again and stayed quiet. "My turn." said the guy i believe was John. He put his finger under my chin and lifted my head so that i looked him in the eye. He pulled out what looked like a small pocket knife and put it to my cheek. "You have a really good punch for a girl. Lets see if this toughens you up." he brought the knife down just below my left breast, and pressed hard enough to cut. He pulled it down to my hip. Pained coursed through my body. The taste of blood was on my tongue. I had bitten into my lip. I could feel blood soaking my shirt. I looked up and glared at him. I pulled free from the one that geld me and kneed him in the stomach. Turning around i watched every one of them. Not one moved. I backed up and ran further into the maze as quickly as i could. "What are you standing there for? Go get her!" i heard one of them shout. I could hear them running and i ran faster. I could feel myself growing weaker by the second, but i wasn't going to stop.


I found a spot to sit down where they wouldn't find me even if they stopped and looked at me directly. Panting i thought about how i was going to get out of here. I looked down at my side and held in tears of pain and fear. Just then the group ran by and slowed down right in front of where i was hidden. "Where did she go?" i didn't want to know who was talking. "I don't care, but when i get my hands on her… " he didn't finish. "She probably ran out the other end. Although this is a maze, its also part of the school, which means there is more then two exits." said another. "Even if she didn't get out, its going to be dark in an hour or so. She isn't our problem anymore." they all agreed to leave, and they did. I stayed were i was until i was certain they left.
I crawled out and winced at the pain. Once on my feet i pulled out my cell phone and dialed Laura's number. She picked up on the first ring. "Fia! Where are you?!" she questioned. I inhaled and sighed. "I'm in the maze behind the music building. Are you ok?" i asked. "I'm not important right now. Do you know where you are in the maze?" she asked and it sounded like she was walking quickly. "I don't know. It all looks the same." i walked on deeper into the maze i believe. "Did you memorize who the guys were?" i asked her hoping she did. "Yeah. I already today the principle. He's going to call them in as soon as they get to the dorms." i sighed with relief knowing they wouldn't hurt anyone else. I cleared my throat. "You wouldn't happen to know where that new kid Gabe is would you?" i asked thinking he could help my at this moment. "He's actually walking with me now." i smiled. "Perfect hand him the phone." i heard her say that i wanted to speak with him. "Hello?" he asked. His deep voice rang in my ear. "Newbie. Time to own up. Its going to be dark in about an hour, i need you to walk my friend Laura to our dorm." i said feeling breathless. "What about you?" he asked. "I'll be fine. I'm bound to find a way out soon. Get her home for me. Do that and we're even." he was silent, but he agreed. "Thanks. Hand Laura the phone." he handed it back and Laura asked again if i was ok. "Yeah, just a little breathless. My phone is going to die soon. I need it just incase i don't find a way out within an hour. I'll see you at home." i said hanging up without waiting for a response. I shut my phone and looked at the sky. It was growing darker.


It wasn't long before it was dark. To add to my suffering, the wind got really chilly. I clenched my phone in my hand and walked on. Its been about an hour and a half and i haven't found a way out yet. I was about
