bright auras of different colors.  Two
teachers had darker, murky auras.  Somehow I knew that wasn’t good.  This auric
sight may actually help me out after all.
    Before I knew it, we were approaching last period. I was
making my way down a long hall to English class.  I noticed a crowd of students
gathered at the end of the hall.  There was commotion of some kind.  Are those
two girls fighting?  This is eerie.  It was starting to look all too familiar
to me.  I could hear a girl screaming at someone.  I could see the other girl
backing off, holding her hands over her face.  I knew what was going to happen.
 What do I do?  I could hear someone say, "Get her, Tonya, she's always
asking for it."  I ran into the crowd, when I saw Tonya lift her arm as
she advanced on the girl.  I stepped up and pushed Tonya back with all of my
strength.
    I shouted to Tonya, "You're really going to hurt her. 
You've got to stop it."
    Tonya looked at me like I was crazy.  "Who are YOU, and
what do you think you're doing?  Butt out, you bitch!"  She started to
come at me, when we could hear a male teacher shout from down the hall.  Everyone
immediately took off. 
    I ducked behind some students and managed to escape into my
English class two doors down.  I saw several students staring at me while I
waited to talk to the teacher.  I can just imagine what they were thinking. 
Why did that crazy girl butt in?  Who is she?  The teacher finally gave me a
textbook, and sat me down near the front.  I was so freaked out.  What a way to
start off the year in a new school, to get involved in a fight.  What else
could I do though?  I knew that girl was going to get seriously injured.  I had
to do something.  Unfortunately, I may have made a nasty enemy with that girl
Tonya.  I saw her aura.  It was a dark blood red.  It was angry, pulsing.  I felt
aggression, violence, evil vibrate around her.  
    When the final bell rang, I got out of class as fast as I
could.  I didn't want to run into Tonya or any of her cronies.  I remember
hearing someone egging Tonya on, so she does have some friends around.  It
seemed like the other girl wasn't even interested in fighting.  I wonder who
she was.
    I saw my cousins and Rainy in the front of the school by the
flagpole where we had arranged to meet at the end of the day.  Before I could
say a word, they all showered me with questions.  Annie started it up.  "What
were you thinking, Tessie?"
    Eve glared at me adding, "What the heck happened?  Why
did you get involved in that situation?  I was sitting in Calculus last period
and all I heard about was how the new girl got involved in a fight
with Tonya.  It sounds like Tonya’s bad news."
    Rainy turned to me looking aghast and asked, "Was that
YOU who got involved?  I heard it was a new girl, but I didn’t believe it. 
Tonya is bad, bad, bad.  If you get in her sights, you better watch your
back."
    I was getting more and more freaked out.  Way to go, Tess.  "So,
did I piss a lot of people off?  I sure didn’t mean to.  My goal was to stay
invisible here, at least for a while.”
    "I don’t think too many people care, to be honest.  People
don't like Tonya.  She’s bullied more than a few kids in school and around town.
 In fact, I would say that most of the school is afraid of Tonya except for her
pals.  Tess, I believe you made a few friends today.  People probably think
you’re insanely brave.”  As Rainy said that, she was smiling at me.  I don’t
think I cared for the ‘insanely brave’ comment.  There was too much emphasis on
the insane part. 
    Annie wasn't ready to let the matter drop. "What made
you jump into the fight the way you did?  I heard that you got right in the
middle and gave Tonya a punch in the gut.  Then, I heard you yelled something
at her.  What possessed you to do such a thing?"
    I snapped at her, "That's an exaggeration.  I didn't
punch her in the gut.  I merely got in front of
