CHAPTER ONE: THE FIGHT

Beatrix glared at Lily, eyes blazed with fury. "You took Selen from me!"

Selen stood beside Lily, unsure of what to do, but at the sound of Beatrix saying Lily had stole her from Beatrix she found her voice.  "LIly didn't take me from you Beatrix....I left you because I din't like that you were bullying haley and that you kept pushing people out of trees!"

Beatrix let out a high pitched laugh, grinning at the memory of pushing people out of tress. She loved there shocked cries, and the way they fell. She wondered how Seln could think that what she was doing wasn't fun, and  that it was cruel. "But pushing people out of trees is fun...and making fun of Haley!" 

"What about me?" Haley  peeked her head out of the girl's bathroom, curouis eyes looking at Beatrix. Haleys hair was shaggy, and her face was dirty. Beatrix always picked on her about how her family was poor.

Beatrix narrowed her eyes at Haley. "Were you spying?" she said, menacily, waving her finger at haley. This was not Haley's business. 

Haley's eyes lit with fear. She was afeARD OF Beatrix because she would show no mercy if she revealed the truth. "No-no! Diffently not!"

Beatrix took a step towards Haley. "This ain't none of your business what me and Selen and Lily are doing! So SHOO!"

Haley let out a small scream of fear, and ran out of the bathroom, far, far away.

"BEATRIX!" yelled LIly, angry.

"WHAT!" yelled Beatrix back, acting confused at why Lily was yelling at her. for

"YOu don't have to scare her!"  

Beatrix smiled, innoccently. "I didn't scare her, shes like that around me" Beatrix shrugged. "Back to the point though, now that that nussinace is gone. You took Selen from me LIly!"

Selen stepped foward, frists clenched in irration. What couldn't Beatrix understand? "No, she didn't.   I choose to be with her.."

Beatrix shook her head. She wasn't about to give up. "No...Lily stood you....Don't you want to keep being Girlfriend and Girlfriend, Selen?"

Don do don! More later, I swear/

I just read all this and I love it, MJ!!! Normally I like fantasy better, but this is just as compelling and absorbing! Please keep up the amazing work! The only thing I would change about this would be to put punctuation between the last word and the quotation mark at the end of when a person speaks. I hope I don't sound like I'm trying to find fault with your work or something because I really do love it and you asked for a critic. I'm looking forward to the next chapter!!!

Chapter three

Beatrix faced the teacher, trying to hide her scowl. She wasn't afeard of the teacher; Heck no, but a scowl was not going to help her and Selene get out of this. 

She glanced over at Selene. Her legs were shaking. Selene was afeard. "Coward." muttered Beatrix, under her breath. She shouldn't be afeard; we were just having some fun Beatrix added, silently in her head.

"Is it true you were teasing Haley?" asked the teacher. 

Beatrix shook her head.

 

~~~~~sorry will post more, later. I have writer's block.

Rest of chapter three {I hope}

"No whoever told you that is lying." said Beatrix, glancing over at grace, angerly. She was lying because she didn't see a promblem with what her and Selene did. 

The teacher looked at Beatrix, spectically. Pherphas suspecting Beatrix's lie. 

"We were complimenting her. Thats what really happened." added Beatrix, innocently.  

"Then why was she crying?" asked the teacher, puzzled. 

"Maybe she can't take a compliment." said Beatrix, shrugging. 

"I doubt that." said the teacher. "Haley!" called the teacher, beckoning haley over.

Haley scrampered over, anxouisly. "Yes?"

"Why were you crying?"

Beatrix glared at Haley. She could control haley. Don't you dare tell the truth she mouthed to Haley.

Haley looked scared.  "She uh...no....uh I was crying cause my brother was mean to me this morning" 

The teacher nodded. "You may leave Beatrix and Selene. Haley, i'd like to talk with you some more."

Beatrix turned around and left. Selene followed, breathing heavly. 

Beatrix turned to Selene. "Told you I could get us out of that. No need to be afeard"

"I wasn't" said Selene, digently. 

~~~~~The end of chapter three~~~~

Wow that was a short chapter.

Chapter four: Lily. i need feedback on this chapter. Criztem welcome. I feel like I could of made it better..so yeah feedback plz. 

 

Lily sat on a swing, legs dangling, head down in sadness. She had, had Selene, but now she had lost her. Selene was gone. Selene is-did chose the wrong person to hang out with thought, Lily, sadly. She knew it wasn't her job to sort out the wrong sort from the right sort, but it seemed Beatrx fell into the wrong sort without question. 

 

Someone sat in the swing next to her. She looked up, surprised. Someone had borthered to sit next to her?! She had no friends, and she was the most upopular kid in her class. 

It was a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a blue shirt. She had never seen this boy before. 

 

"You look sad. What's the matter?" the boy said, looking concerned. 

 

Lily was even more surprised. She didn't even know this boy and he was concerned about her! She wasn't going to tell him what the matter was, though. He was a stranger. "Not-thing. Havn't se-en you before" Lily felt blood rushed to her cheeks. Why was am I blushing? Why am I stammering? wonder Lily, confuzzled. 

 

The boy shook his head. "You don't look okay or sound okay, but I won't be pushy. You don't have to tell me.  Anyways, I'm new. I'm in 5th grade and my names Ethan"

 

"I'm in sixth." said Lily, blushing a little, glee filled her.  Why am I blushing? she wondered.  This boy seemed nice and she was glad he was clost her grade. 

 

"Cool....What's sixth grade like?" 

 

LIly corked her head to the side. "Why?" 

 

Ethan shrugged. "My brother says it terrible, and if it is I want to pephare. Bring my water powers you know, to defend my self from the terriblness" 

 

Lily laughed. "Sixth grade is terrible. Wish I had waterpowers for 6th grade, but no-one ever  warned me about the terriblness" said Lily, half joking, half serouis.  A question bubbled into her mind. "Who-" 

 

"Oh why?" said Ethan, forhead srunched up in puzzlement. 

 

Lily almost burst out laughing. How could Ethan think Sixth grade was full of unicorns and all things happy?  "I have no friends. My friend ditched me for a bully." Lily stopped. Why was she telling him about her troubles? She barely knew him, yet something made her want to tell him.

 

"Is that why your sad?" asked Ethan, conerned.

 

"Yup"

 

" I can fix your friend promblem."  said Ethan, excited. 

 

"Really? How?" said Lily, eargerly. 

 

Ethan nodded. "Want to be friends?" he asked, holding out his hand to shake for her to shake.

 

Liy was surprised. She hadn't excepted that to be his solution to her promblem, but it did seem like a good one. She wanted to know more about Ethan and hang out with him. "Sure!" she said, blushing. Why am I blushing she wondered. She looked at his hand. She raised her hand in the air. "Want to do it the more morden way? Handshake are kind of old, wanna do a highfive instead?" 

 

Ethan laughed. "Okay" he cleared his throat. "By highfiving we commite to being friends" he said, mock serouisly, but there wa serouisness in his eyes. 

 

Lily laughed. "You'r funny. Okay" 

 

"You too" said ethan. 

 

Lily blushed. "Let's highfive, already.

 

And they highfived.

Chapter five: Lily

Lily and Ethan chatted for a bit more, until the bell rung.  Lily jumped off the swings, joy soaring inside her. She was glad Ethan and her were friends. He was nice boy and funny too. 

She walked Ethan back to his hall. "Whats your favorite color?" asked Lily when they were close to the hall. 

"Green" answered Ethan, absentmidly. Lily wondered what he was distracted by. 

They arrived. Lily wanted to thank him for siting next to her on the swing, for talking to her, and making her laugh. He didn't have  to, but  she couldnt put it into words. "See you" said lily, instead as Ehtan started down the hall.   

Ethan turned around. "See you" he called back, as he walked backwards down the hall.

Why is he walking down the hall backwards. Its kinda funny actually wondered Lily, stiling a laugh as he almost banged into a girl. 

Ethan tripped and fell on his butt.

Lily burst out laughing. She tried to stop, but she couldn't. "You okay!"

Ethan got up, laughing. "I'm okay" he said, smiling. 

"You shouldn't walk backwards" said lily, playfully. She really dicn't mind if he walked backwards, sideways or whatever but she would wonder why. 

"But it's fun" called Ethan.

Lily laughed and turned around.

~~~~~~~

Lily skippeed towards her hall, feeling as light as air. She had made a new friend! She didn't need Selene now....or did she? 

Lily still messed her. The days when they would talk, laughing. Selene had seemed so carefree  when she had been Lily's friend, but who know if she was still the same girl lily had known. Who knew if Beatrix had changed her into something unrezinable, or a rotten bully?  Lily sighed.

Soon she arrived at the classroom door. Peeking in, she realized everyone except her was in the classroom. I hope class didn't start yet Thought lily, slightly worried. 

She knocked She hoped Selene didn't answer the door...that would be awkard. 

No-one answered.

She knocked twice, three, four times until someone answered. The door ung open, revealing......Selene! standing in front of her. 

Just her luck!

"you'r late" said Selene, looking at her feet.

"yeah so? You'r early" 

"Why are you late?

Chapter 6: Selene 

"Why are you late?" asked Selene again, trying to think of something to say besides your late. Seeing Lily she wanted to say sorry for what she had done, but she couldn't. "I'm sorry" couldn't leave her thoughts, her tongue. 

"Because I made a friend" lily said. "A better one than you were" she added. She wanted revenge and she knew that comment would probably hurt Selene. 

Selene winced. Lily's comment stung. Hadn't she been a good friend? ......No.......she had stabbed lily in the back. "who?'

"A boy named Ethan" 

Did she like this boy Ethan? wondered Selene, noticing the spark of happiness in Lily's eyes when she mentioned Ethan.  "Do... you like ethan?" asked Selene, curouisly and slowly.  

Shock showed on Lily's face, btu slowly it disappeared. "No, hes just a friend, better than you."

Selene nodded. "I get it Lily I stabbed-" 

Lily shook her head. "Don't want to hear it" 

Selene had to keep trying. She was so close and when would she have a chance like thi again? Probably never. Lily had to listen. "Please listen to me-"

Someone tapped Selene's shoulder. "Whats taking you so long to close the door?" asked beatrix, curouisly. 

Selene wanted to scream at  Beatrix. She had been about to aplogize to Lily, but Beatrix had to come and ruin it! Now she couldn't aplogize! When would she get a chance like this again? Selene gestured towards Lily.

Chapter 7: Beatrix 

Beatrix noticed Lily. Her eyes narrowed in suspicion. Had lily come to steal Selene wondered Beatrix. "What are you doing with Selene, Lily?" snarled Beatrix.

Lily took the hint. She nearly laughed out loud. Did beatrix really think sheh ad come to steal selene from her?  "Just trying to get into the classroom" Lily said, shrugging.
