Laura looked at Shawn as she was talking to her friends and then she said her goodbyes to them. The girls hugged and whispered little things into her ear, she smiled and nodded without saying anything back. Pulling her pony tail down she shook out her long hair and let it go loose before brushing it out and tugging it back up again. Looking back to Shawn she started to reply to him when he spoke again.<br/><br/><strong><em>"Hey I'll be waiting for you outside ok Laura."</em></strong><br/><br/>She wasn't trying to delay anything she just wasn't sure what was going on. She sighed a little and turned to start down the hallway. She saw him go outside and then heard the commotion. She started down at a slow jog wondering just what the heck was happening. A few other students had gathered around watching and cheering one or the other on. She peeked through in time to see Nate get slammed into the stomach and then Shawn was yelling at them all. She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath letting it out slowly. She had hoped it would help calm her but it only made her inward thoughts burst outward.<br/><br/><strong>Geezus Christ Shawn! What the hell is up with you guys thinking you can bully everyone into doing what you want? You don't own me Shawn. You can't push friends away from me just because you want a piece of ass.  There are plenty of other girls at Adam High that would love for you to fight guys for them. Why don't you go buy them lunch?!</strong><br/><br/>She turns in a huff and storms off down the hallway grumbling, her hair swishing with her moves. She crossed her arms firmly over her mid chest area as the heat from her upset flooded her pale cheeks. It was obvious Laura wasn't interested in the 'beat em off with a stick' mentality. Turning down the hallway into the busy cafeteria she found her friends and sat down next to them. From a distance one could her being comforted and hugged as she talked with a deeply emotional intensity displayed.<br/><br/><strong> I can't believe he had those guys beat up on Nate? It was uncalled for! Who do they think they are? I mean what if they seriously hurt him!  OMG! NATE! I didn't even check on him! Crap! </strong><br/><br/>Getting up from her seat she looks around the cafeteria for Nate. When she doesn't spot him anywhere she runs off out of the cafeteria in search of her new friend. Laura didn't care who saw her or heard her voicing her concerns. She was deeply offended and embarrassed at that point. Everyone was staring at her and watching, as they whispered amongst themselves about the drama of the week.<br/>
