As we finished our first half of the day at Ironbark Highschool we headed to lunch. But there was something different about the atmosphere, I couldn't quite place my tongue on it until I saw a fight happening. At the center of the fight were Annabel Lee and some other kids... except unlike the last fight I'd seen her in, she wasn't "winning". Annabel had some cuts across her knees, her face was blistered and bloody, her legs and arms looked as though a posse of alley cats had scratched her. I didn't notice that I had left Leslie and Liam behind as I walked into the center of the fight. My mind had gone blank as I continued walking, shoving, pushing through the crowd of people, all I knew was that I had to help Annabel. When I got to the center one of the boys who was fighting her attempted to swing a punch at her stomach. I've never been able to catch a lot of things because I'm so clumsy... but for some reason, just like a miracle, I caught the boy's hand and glared at him in the most intense way that I could. He backed off and his friends let go of Annabel, as soon as they did she collapsed forward into my arms. I told the boys they should be ashamed of themselves for doing this to her as they ran away, I noticed as the crowd got deadly silent then dispersed. Liam and Leslie rushed over to help me. I said to him, "Liam, run to the nurse's office and ask for an Ice pack. Hurry back please." He nodded and ran towards the office building. "Leslie, help me get her to the bathroom where we can ask her what happened and so we can tend to her wounds." Leslie quietly helped me carry Annabel to the girls' restroom where we waited for Liam with the ice pack. Luckily, we took Annabel to the deserted girls' bathroom of the South Eastern side of the campus. Liam came in with an Ice pack as soon as we had set Annabel down on one of the chairs we keep in here. As we cleaned her wounds she regained consciousness and questioned us, "What the hell..." She held her head for a moment then asked us, "What happened?" I responded, "We were hoping you would know what had happened...can you remember?" Annabel scratched her head and looked deep in thought for five minutes of silence, eventually, her eyes lit up like an amazed child. "These guys were picking on one of my friends...I can't remember which one though. So I stepped in and I told them to fuck off, clearly, they didn't...so I guess that's when the actual fighting started."
