took out a bobby pin from my hair and put it in. I had to twist it around before the basketball hoop finally came down. When it was all the way down I jumped up and grabbed the rum. I look like I just dunked a basketball but I held on. The top of the backboard was still out of my reach.
I pulled myself up more until I was practically sitting on the rim. I could reach the top. I grabbed the top so now I was standing on the rim. But then my foot slipped and I fell a little but I held on to the top. My arm hurt because I hit it against the backboard. I pulled myself up so I could climb over and go onto the beams on the back of the basketball hoop.
I got my hair tie, got a charm from my bracelet and shot it at my bobby pin. The bobby pin flew away and the basketball hoop started to rise. As soon as I could reach the ceiling beams I grabbed them and hauled myself up. I made my way over to the guys.
“Ok now you have to find a way down. It has to be outrageous and dangerous”
If they want outrageous and dangerous then I'll give them outrageous and dangerous.
I sat down on the beam and looked under me. There were mats over in a corner. I got up and started making my way over to the mats. My foot slipped. I fell but I caught a beam with my right hand.
“Shit” I said.
My left arm hurt for some odd reason. I looked down at my left arm to see my stitches coming undone and blood coming out. I had to think fast. I tried to grab the beam with my left arm but I couldn't cause it hurt too much.
“Hey you okay up there?”
I swung my legs and I was able to hang upside down. I checked my arm. Blood was still coming out. I grabbed a piece of cloth from my back pocket and tied it around m stitches. I sat onto the beams. I couldn't wait to get to the mats. I have to go now. I scooted off the beam. It was a long way down. I did a tornado while on m way down and landed as if I was doing a push-up. I got up quickly. I covered my bleeding arm and went over to my backpack.
Chapter 5

The guys watched as I duped all my stuff out. I searched frantically. I was looking for my anesthetic. I had to numb my arm or at least that area. I couldn't find it.
“Where is it?” I said out loud. I found the syringe but not the anesthetic.
“Are you taking drugs?” Newt asked once he saw the syringe.
“No” I answered angrily.
“Then what's the needle for?”
“My arm” I said then finally found it. It was empty.
I checked my arm. Blood was already seeping through. I packed up all my stuff. I got my cell phone out. I called Damon.
“What do you want?” he said annoyed.
“Why is the bottle empty?” I said angrily. He knew what I was talking about.
“Cause dad used it all”
“Why?”
“He needed to put stitches in my arm”
“But why mine?”
“Cause he couldn't find any anywhere else in the house”
“Why didn't he refill it?”
“He didn't think you would need it. Did your stitches come out?”
“Yes!”
“Oops”
“Yea oops” I hung up.
“Hey what's going on?” Gabriel, the famous fighter asked.
“I won't be able to fight for a while. Sorry but right now I have to go put stitches in my arm bye” I said then ran out after I put my clothes back on.
I went to the girls bathroom and took out my medical kit.
I unwrapped the now bloody cloth and took out the stitches. I cleaned my arm and got a needle and thread. I started doing stitches. Half an hour later I was done. My arm hurt terribly. I washed my hand and arm. I washed the needle and put the needle and thread back in the medical kit. I took some pain killers. I put the stuff back in my backpack and went out.
Pain killers don't help at all. The only took a little bit of the pain away.
I found Simon.
“Can you help me find my dorm?” I asked.
Simon helped me find my dorm 13A. I am so glad I get a dorm by myself. I found all my furniture here. I went to my room, laid down on my bed and went to sleep.
I woke up with a jolt. I looked at the time. It was time for dinner but I wasn't hungry. I took two pain killers. I went to the gymnasium. I felt as if someone was following me. Nobody was in the gym so I went in. I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around to see my boyfriend, Diego.
Diego is a senior. We've been dating for six months. I ran to him and hugged him. We kissed and hugged each other some more.
“What are you doing here?” I asked.
“What! I gotta visit my girlfriend at her new school”
I laughed but I sensed something is wrong.
“What's wrong?” I asked letting go.
“It's just why didn't you tell me you were living here now?” he said.
“I didn't find out till I got here”
“Yes you did. You knew. You're lying” he said angrily.
“No I'm not” I cried out.
“Yes you are. Rachel told me you already knew”
“Rachel is lying I'm telling the truth”
“I can't have a girlfriend who lies” he said.
“You want to break up?” I said my voice breaking.
He didn't look at me. Then it hit me.
“Wait. You never get mad when I lie to you” I said strongly. “This is an excuse for us to break up” I said.
He didn't look at me.
“Fine if you want to break up then lets break up”
“I just think it's for the best” he said finally.
“The best for who you or me?”
“I met someone else” he said. My heart broke. “Look I'm sorry but I'm happier with her”
Tears rolled down my cheeks.
“I hate you!” I yelled loudly at him.
Someone came into the gymnasium.
“Hey are you two done?” Gabriel said.
“Yes. Yes we are done” I said my voice breaking then I ran out. I ran to my dorm. At my dorm I slammed the door shut and I ran to my bed. I jumped on and started crying. I cried for a long time. When I finally got done it was late. I wiped away my tears and went out to the living room area.
Someone knocked on the door. It was Gabriel.
“Yes?” I asked.
“Have you been crying?” he asked.
I didn't answer.
“I'm guessing you two broke up” he said. I nodded.
“Makes you fell any better he looked like a complete jackass”
“Thanks. You really suck at cheering someone up after a break up you know”
“Yea. I was never really any good”
I smiled.
“Thanks for stopping by” I said.
“Yea well the reason I came was to get you back on the fighting team. We didn't mean to scare you off”
“You didn't scare me off. My stitches came out. I had to redo them so now I won't be able to fight for a couple of weeks. If it weren't for the stitches I would be on the team. Bye” I said.
“Bye” I closed the door. I went to sleep.
Chapter 6

I woke up to a noise outside my room. I got up and realized I was in my pj's. Hmmmm....ok. I opened the door to see the fight team, Daisy, and Damon making breakfast and having a good time.
“Hey look the demon is up” Daisy said.
I snarled at her.
“Why do they call you the demon?” Trevor asked.
“You don't want to find out” Damon said.
“Why did you all wake me up?” I said.
“We heard you broke up with Diego” Griffin said.
“I don't want to hear his name” I growled.
“Now I see why they call you the demon” Joe said.
I glared at him.
“Hey what did I do?” he asked.
I shook my head.
“Sorry. I'm cranky in the morning” I said.
“We're complete opposites so I'm cheery in the morning” Daisy said.
“Ellen how do you want your eggs?” Damon said.
“Broken” I said which meant scrambled.
“Don't you want them fixed?” he meant it as a joke.
I glared at him.
“Broken it is”
I smiled.
“Why are you so dark?” Lenny said.
“Ever since I've been born I always been angry. I used to torture my sister all the time. I would burn her barbie dolls cause I hated barbies”
“You still owe me” Daisy said.
“Who saved your butt when you almost drowned huh? And who kicked that one girls ass when she stole your boyfriend?”
“You did” she said defeated.
I nodded.
“When did you learn to fight?” Ash asked.
“When I ran away”
“Why did you run...”
“Broken eggs are ready” Damon interrupted.
Ash got the hint.
“I'll be right back. I'm a go to the bathroom”
I went to the bathroom. I checked my stitches to make sure they were still good. I took some pain killers and looked at myself in the mirror. I wanted to kill myself.
Someone knocked on the door.
“Yea?”
“Your phone is ringing” Gabriel said.
I ran out to get it. It got cut off just as I got my phone. I checked the number. I couldn't believe it. It was Eric.
Eric and I met while I ran away. He helped me out a lot. I'm surprised he still remembers me. We got to know each other so well we became best friends.
My phone rang again. I answered cause it was Eric.
“Eric?” I asked.
“Ellen” he said.
“Oh my god I can't believe you still remember me it's been three years”
“I know. I wanted to call cause I'm gonna be going to BroadStar High and I know you live close by”
“Close by I got there now. I'm in my dorm right now”
“Really!. I'm gonna be there in a few hours”
“Wow that's great”
“Can't wait to catch up”
“Is that you can think of”
“Hey it's been three years. We're best friends. You can't expect anything else”
“Hahaha of course”
“Well I better go or else I'm gonna get caught off bye”
“Bye” I hung up.
I was so happy. I went out to breakfast with a smile on my face.
“Well someone is happy”Newt said.
“That's cause today is a very special day” I said happily.
“Ok demon you're scaring me” Damon said.
“Demon?” I said.
“Well since you are always angry I might as well call you demon”
“Well today is a happy day. Someone very special is coming”
“You got back together with Diego?” Gabriel asked.
I glared at him.
“No. You're just gonna have to find out in a few hours”
“Ok” he said.
I ate my breakfast thinking about Eric.
We met while on train to the Atlantic. We traveled together on train and got to know each other really well. We stopped talking when the police found me. We promised to get together and hang out when we were together again. Now the time has come. I wonder if he looks any different. An hour later he sent me a picture of himself. He has sandy blond hair, green eyes, and a hot body.
Apparently he decided to send me a picture in his swim trunks. I smiled. I sent him a
