New Face, Old Rival

It occurred to me, that if I'm in danger of being found by these people who are out to kill us, then is my blog safe? What if they are reading it this very second? What if they tracked to where the blog are being created and find my new home? O.O  I've tried to keep from putting last names, places and certain events out of here so anybody who knows me won't find me. All these thoughts came to me today at school when a new student came into the picture. She is petite and pale, with really blond hair it's almost white. Her features are rounded and child like. I thought she was in middle school when I first saw her but she is a freshman. I didn't think much of her, but when I saw the look on Audree's face when she saw her walk through the doors of the school, I knew something was going on. I was talking to Audree, teaching her to play Assassins when the girl walked by. She didn't notice us. She was too busy reading her class schedule. Audree's face turned pale white and her eyes dilated. I asked her what was wrong and her eyes swelled and she said she needed to go. I tried to find out who she was during the day. Apparently her name is Grace. She has P.E. with me so, I got to observe her from a not creepy distance. Of course that resulted in a kick in the knee...from Jasmine!
   "What's your problem?" I yelled
   "Get your head in the game!" she called running away with the soccer ball kicking it to someone else.
The boys were playing basketball on the court and when someone kicked the ball out of bounds Grace went to go retrieve it. Audree was watching her with furious eyes like she just murdered someone. Grace  walked up to the basketball court where the ball had wondered to. Mike called a time out and ran over the the rolling soccer ball and picked it up. Grace walked up sheepishly to him as Mike handed her the ball. Grace turned pink when she took the ball. Mike smiled at her and said something to her. Grace answered and the guys started yelling at Mike to hurry up so he said bye and went back to the game. Grace walked back to the field awkwardly. Audree's eyes were in a cold stare and her jaw was seriously clenched. The rest of the game Audree was purposely trying to kill Grace. She pushed her down and jumped over her and kept dribbling the ball in between her feet. Grace cringed when she jumped over her. I thought couch was going to blow the whistle and say that Grace gets a free kick, but apparently she was enjoying the torture going on, on the field. In the locker rooms Audree walked right past Grace not even glancing at her. Grace put a pitiful expression, looked down, and continued changing. I felt bad for Grace. First day and she's already being bullied by someone, and that someone is my friend! I can't imagine what Audree did to her in other classes. I immediately saw myself in the girl. In sixth grade I was extremely shy. I couldn't even answer teachers questions of "How are you?" without  vomiting. Okay, it wasn't that bad, but it didn't get me friends either. Instead it brought me bullies. Of course Jasmine was the cool, friendly person who was everyone's friend got ticked when I told her and told them off. After that I got over being so shy. I didn't want anyone to experience that while I knew about it. At home I was determined to talk to Audree about it alone. And when I did...
   "Jamie your good in science help me out here." Audree said as we sat at the dinning table doing homework
   "You usually are very good in science." I said leaning to her
   "Uh, yeah..." she stuttered "I was distracted in class, I didn't hear the lesson."
   "Is Grace in your science class?" I asked, her fist clenched as I said her name
   "Who?" she pretended not to know
   "You know who," I said "That new girl with the blond hair. You can't take your deadly eyes off her."
   "I haven't stared at anyone today," Audree said guessing answers on her page
   "Audree I saw you in P.E. you were trying to kill her!"
   "I wasn't. I'm just competitive."
   "No, I've seen you competitive, and you are never like that."
Audree shook her head.
   "Audree your bulling the poor girl. She's new. Cut her some slack."
Audree's eyes were burning. "Since when was she your best friend?"
   "She's not. I just don't like it when I see someone being bullied."
Audree got up from her seat holding back with all her strength the tears. "Fine," she collected her books "I wont bully her anymore. For your sake." she left to her room and I knew the moment the door slammed she locked it.
