Sira walked over to her locker to surprisingly find her best friend, Katie and a crowd of other people, waiting in line to see something. It turned out to be the new kid Sarina. She was being bullied by Roy, the top notch school bully. Sarina was bleeding on her fore head and seemed to be in a lot of pain. Sira ran over to Sarina and grabbed her as fast as possible. She shoved Roy into the lockers, not realizing the boy was a brick. He picked himself up and in a seconded Sira was on the ground. Slowly, Sira opened her eyes, confused by the unfamiliar surroundings. She slowly turned her head to find Katie staring at her intently,
”Oh thank god!! Are you ok?! You’ve been out for a while now…”
“Where am I?” Sira wondered out loud.
Katie sighed, “In the hospital. Roy beat you up pretty bad.”
There was a long silence, and than, Sira recalled the past events.
“Where is Sarina???”
“Don’t worry Sira, Sarina is fine” Katie said in an inpatient voice.
“It’s not Sarina who’s hurt right now, it’s you”
Katie told Sira.
Frantically, Sira began to throw the covers over the bed and attempted to stand, “Well, it’s not like I can stay here…My dad is going to kill me if he finds out I’m here! Oh no!! Does he already no, please tell me he doesn’t know I’m here!”
Katie became to fidget uncomfortably, “I’m sorry, he’s waiting in the hall.”
Sira threw her hands up in exasperation, “Ok thanks Katie I really appreciate it”
Quickly, Katie stood from the bed and began to head towards the door, “I think I better go now, your dad needs to talk to you.”  Katie said in a very sorry voice.
“Ok bye”, Sira said in a small voice.
A hard knock was heard at the door.
“Come in”   
Grimly, Sira’s father walked into the room, “Hi hunny” No trails of worry in his tone.
“Hi Dad” Sira said, climbing back into bed.
With heavy footsteps, James, her father, began pacing in front of her bed, “Why would you just get in a middle of a fight for someone you don’t even know, knowing  you could get seriously hurt?! Get an adult for something like that, don’t try and stop it yourself! You know darn well we can’t afford these hospital bills!” He said turning red with anger
  Scared, Sira began to shrink even further back into her bed, until her back rested against her pillow, “I know dad I am really sorry, I just wasn’t thinking at the moment. I am sorry dad.”
KNOCK KNOCK
James glared at the door, than calmed himself before he said, “come in”
A doctor walked in with a smile and a clipboard, “Hello. Ok Mr.Alexander, I’m just here to inform you that your daughter is free to go.”
“Thank you Doctor.” James said, an evil smile played on his lips.


----------Inside the car---------------------------------------------
“I think it would be best if you stay away from the person that did this to you” James said quietly, as he paid close attention to the road.
“Yes dad I know” Sira said with an annoyed tone, as she stared out the window.
“Will I be able to go to school tomorrow?”
“I don’t think so.”
“But dad my grades need to stay up. I don’t want them to slip now that they’re high.”
“Ah, no buts you are not going to go and that’s final! Don’t argue, that’s  the whole reason you’re in this mess to begin with.”
Sira just made an angry face out the window.
The next day, Sira woke up with a big head ache; Obviously thanks to the impact of yesterday’s fight. Slowly, she made her way down the stairs and into the kitchen to find her mom, Iris.
“Hi Mom”
“Good morning.” She said with a smile. “Well your dad told me what happened”
Aw what is going to happen now?
Sira thought.
“Don’t worry; I am not disappointed, I am very proud of your golden heart Sira.” Iris told Sira.
“Thanks mom”

DING DONG
“I’ll get it” Iris said. A couple of seconds later, Sira heard her mother call her to the door, “You have a visitor.”
Sira stepped in the doorway, her eyes went bright at the sight of Serina!
“Oh hi” Sira said.
“Hi I just came to drop of a present. I really appreciate what you did for me yesterday.”
“Oh uh your welcome” Sira said uncomfortably.
“So do you think you will be back in school tomorrow?” Sarnia asked Sira.
“I think so.”
“Well I think I better be going now.”
“Ok Bye Sarnia!” Sira called out.
“She seems like a nice girl.” Iris said.
“Yeah I know.” Sira replied
“Invite her over sometime. I can take you two to the movies or you guys can have a little sleepover…”Iris rambled
“Yeah that’s a good idea I will tell her in school tomorrow. Do you think dad is still mad at me? I mean, I was just trying to help Sarina. She looked really hurt and Stupid Roy is always hurting everyone, and I remember when I was new there, Roy was beating me up. I just knew how it felt. Mom I am really really sorry.” Sira said.
“Honey I know don’t worry.”
“I don’t feel that well mom” Sira said wining.
“Sweetie, maybe you should go lay down in the living room, and watch some TV.”
“Ok”
Sira slowly walked over to the living room and pressed her palm to her throbbing forehead.
She went to sleep really fast.
Sira Yawned when she woke up and saw that the episode that she was watching on TV had to do with Christmas and Sira remembered the present that Sarina had dropped off about an hour ago.
She went over to the kitchen and asked her mom where the gift was.
“It’s on the counter near the door” Her mom said.
Sira ripped up the wrapping paper.
“OH NO! Sira Cried. “I can’t believe it!”
