respond. She shrieked in frustration. “Shut up! Wisteria, find a seat or get out of my class.”
“Lady Milton, there are no more chairs.” She couldn’t understand why Lady Milton was insisting she do the impossible. Even if she found another seat, there was no space in the classroom to put it.
The teacher marched up to her. “This isn’t a discussion.”
“Where can I find one, miss?”
“You have a quite a mouth on you.” A lot of Lady’s Milton anger was because Wisteria hit her daughter Hailey once and because Wisteria’s mother threatened the woman.
“You’re asking for the impossible---” Before she could finish, Lady Milton whacked her across the side of the face with a textbook.
Just like she herself had done to Hailey months before.
“Don’t ever speak back to me, girl,” the woman seethed. “Now get the hell out of my class!”
“What are you doing?” Amanda leapt at the woman.
“You can’t do that.” Garfield stormed up to the teacher, but was blocked by Steven.
“I will tell my dad what you did.” Steven spoke in a deep voice in an attempt to sound threatening.
“I can do whatever the hell I like in my classroom.” Coldly, she lifted her book over her head.
It took Wisteria a few seconds to process what happened. “You hit me?” She snatched the textbook from the teacher’s hands and paused for a moment. “You were lucky.” She honestly wanted to whack this snide woman right across the jaw, but instead she walked toward the door.
“Get out,” Hailey murmured.
Stopping by Hailey’s desk, Wisteria frowned down at her.
“Don’t you dare touch her, Wisteria,” the teacher warned and started to charge at her, but tripped on Steven’s out stretched leg.
A few kids laughed as the teacher tumbled.
“Don’t worry, I’m not going to touch you.” Wisteria smiled down at her.
“I wasn’t worried,” the girl snapped back.
Smashing her with the textbook she was holding, Wisteria quipped, “You should’ve been worried.” Gathering her things, Wisteria left the silent classroom. She suddenly felt so much better; she’d been taking flack and abuse from those women for far too long. She was now proud of defending herself for once. Pausing, she wondered where she could go. If she left the school building she’d be stopped by the soldiers if they saw her walking around town during the school day. She decided to wait in the school building until the end of the day.

“Hey,” Steven called out to her as she walked out of the school building later that afternoon.
“Crap,” she muttered, not looking back. Quickening her steps, she hurried away from Steven. Garfield . She scanned around, but her friend was nowhere to be seen. He was probably off with Amanda.
Ironically, six months ago, she’d have given anything for Steven to want her so much he’d chase after her, because he was really cute, at least she’d thought so at one time.
“Ria.” Grabbing her, he twirled her around. “Didn’t you hear me?”
“Stop calling me Ria.” She yanked herself out of his grip.
“Can you believe Hailey’s mum? She’s almost as bad as Cheung.”
“Yeah.” A cold breeze blew between them and she pulled her jacket closed. She wished the wind would just blow him away. “I’ve got to go.”
“Are you okay?” Steven pointed to the side of her face where Lady Milton had slapped her. “I can’t believe she did that.”
“Thanks for your concern.” She actually wanted to believe his unusual kindness; he had tried to defend her back in class.
“Yeah, listen.” He gazed around, his perfect blue eyes shifting as if he was calculating something.
She inched back.
He reached out and clutched her arm. “Hey, why don’t you come to my place? We got some new DVDs from Garfield--okay they aren’t new-new, but no one else has them in town. We can watch them and catch up?”
“A movie? Steven, what exactly do you want?”
“Or we can forget the movies
