Chapter 3

Xiao Xing’s POV

Brittney smirks with my binder in her hand.

She drops my binder, making all thre paper in it fall out.

I reach over to pick it up but Jayden kicks my hand.

My hand starts to bleed.

They start to leave but I grab Jayden and pull her to the ground.

I punch her in the face a few times and-

“What’s going on in here?!” A harsh voice demands.

I let her go and look towards the door.

It’s the principal, Mr. Wen.

“I was-” I start.

“We were in the classroom and then Xiao Xing just bursts in and starts attacking Jayden!!” MacKenzie accuses.

“That’s NOT what happened! I-”

“Enough. Brittney and MacKenzie, take Jayden to the nurse. Xiao Xing, come with me.” Mr. Wen instructs.

He heads out the door.

Brittney and MacKenzie glare at me and leave with Jayden.

I pick up my binder and all my papers and hurry out of the classroom.

Wang Junkai’s POV

“Have you seen Xiao Xing? She should be here by now.” Wang Yuan asks, worriedly.

“Uh, yeah. She went back to the art room because she forgot her binder.”

“Why didn’t you go with her?”

“She wouldn’t let me.” I say, looking away.

‘Where IS Xiao Xing? She should be here by now.’ I thought.

Xiao Xing’s POV

“Mr. Wen! It’s really not what it seems! I was trying to-”

“Be quiet! Do you have any proof? Because when I walked in, all I saw was that you put Jayden in a head lock. Explain that.” He says, sternly.

“I was going back to the art room because I forgot my binder! When I was searching around the classroom, Brittney, MacKenzie, and Jayden appeared holding my binder. They took my binder, Mr. Wen! Then they dropped it and all my papers fell out, and when I reached to go get it, Jayden kicked me! So I hit her...”

“Was it really necessary to hit her back though?”

“Self-defense...?” I answer, unsurely.

He shakes his head and turns on the intercom.

“Would Brittney please come to the front office?”

In a few seconds, Brittney was here.

“Hi, Mr. Wen!” She plastered a cheerful smile on her face.

“Hello, Brittney. I would like you to describe what happened when you guys were in the art room.”

“Well... I don’t really want to... it makes me really sad because Jayden got hurt.” She frowns.

‘Liar!’ I shoot her a look.

“It’s okay if you can’t, I totally understand.” Mr. Wen nods.

“Well... I can try my best. It started when I found Xiao Xing’s binder on the ground. I picked it up and ran out of the art room, trying to find her. After awhile, I went back to the art room, hoping she was there looking for her binder. MacKenzie, Jayden, and I went to give her back her binder. When she saw me holding her binder, she immediately thought that we took it and attacked Jayden, who was the closest to her. In all that, I dropped her binder and the papers flew everywhere... and the binder cut her hand.” She added the last part quickly, trying to make it sound realistic.
