Max walked into the classroom silent. Her head hung over, hair covering her eyes.

Lissa and Brigid sat up straighter and grasped there cell phones tighter, ready to gossip.

Ari and Sam smirked as they watched their 'bait' come into the room.

Fang remained silent and stared straight a head. 'She can handle it', he thought.

Iggy and Nudge watched the bullied victim walk to her desk beside them and then saw all the glares directed at her.

"How's my girl?" Ari called out to Max. Max inwardly cringed.

"Better than your face," She replied emotionlessly.

"Look at me bitch when I'm talking to you!" Ari cried out to her. Nudge grasped Iggy's hand tightly.

"Make me." Max replied, talking out her sketchbook and began drawing.

Mr. Roney walked into the room and began teaching. Max continued drawing.

With her head down, no one could see the tears.

_(Line Break_

Max sat at her locker sketching. Her eyes were full of pain.

Fang walked by but forced himself to keep going. Ella avoided the sad scene and Nudge and Iggy left the hallway, just to leave her alone.

Lissa, Brigid, Sam and Ari and walked up to her. Max got up to her feet and tried to walk away but Ari grabbed her arm and spun her into Sam who pushed her into Lissa. Lissa laughed as she shoved the victim into Brigid. Brigid continued the chain. Max's sketch book went flying into a corner of the hall, forgotten.

Ari shoved the girl onto the floor and laughed.

"Bitch! Freak! Idiot! Ass hole! Slut! Whore!" Ari yelled at her, his voice ringing in her ears.

"Go die. The world would be so much better! No one even likes you!" Sam laughed.

The four walked away laughing.

Max picked her self up slowly and began to cry. Bitter tears slid down her cheeks, her eyes blurred.

"As you wish," She whispered, smiling faintly.

_(Line Break)_

Fang walked through the school near dead.

Last week Max had been found, having hung herself infront of Ari's locker.

Last week her journal had been found.

Last week, everything had changed.

This is what her journal had read.

This is it. I can't handle it anymore. I thought I could. It didn't bother me at first. I was able to reply. Sarcastic and sweet. But then it began to get worse. Shots began getting deeper. Some friends I have. Iggy, Nudge? Why didn't you stand up for me? why? Was I a bad friend? Did you hate me? Ella? Why? Why? WHY?

Maybe, maybe he would like me. Fang? Are you reading this? WHY? That's all I want to know.

WHY?

Good bye forever,

MAXIMUM RIDE
