defending a friend (Haylen, Katrina, Eleni)

Sara and her friend Gulten Kaya were sitting by the principal's office along with school bully Amanda Steele, Sara didn't look at her as she sat in her chair, she was there for coming to Gulten's defense when Amanda started picking on her for being of Middle East decent, "Your going to get kicked out towel lady." Amanda said to her, Sara kept her cool, "Shut up Amanda" she said, "Why should I?" Amanda asked, "Because I said so" Sara replied, Amanda laughed, "Your not so tough without your boyfriend Sara." she remarked, "Meet me at the gym down the street and find out for sure." Sara shot back, her father and Sean had taught her alot of martial arts moves and was very good at it

Outside the principal's office I was waiting for Sara. She messaged me a little earlier about the problem a friend of hers had with another student. It wasn't the first time they had problems with that girl named Amanda. Having met Gulten Kaya once when I visited Sara and her parents I felt sorry for the young woman. I was a little angry at Amanda, but not knowing her personally I wasn't about to say anything to her. I knew Sara defended her friends just like she'd defend her family and that amazed me. It was something I admired about my young friend. I knew she was doing the right thing.
Now I was waiting for them to get out and see if the two girls were okay.

after talking with the principal, Sara and Gulten walked out of the office, at the same time, Sara saw Haylen and walked up to her, "Hey" she called out

I looked up as I heard Sara greeting me. I offered the two girls a soft smile.
"Hey. Everything's okay now?" I asked her.

Sara and Gulten both nodded, "I'm just glad that Sara got a warning and nothing else." Gulten replied, her Middle Eastern accent noticeable

"You got a warning for defending your friend?" I asked Sara a little surprised. Not really what I expected.

Sara nodded, "Yea, the headmaster was going to suspend me until one of the teachers told her that I never hit Amanda." she replied

"Wow..." I said quietly. "But you did the right thing, Sara."

Sara nodded in agreement, at the same time, Amanda walked past them, Sara and Gulten ignored her, "You two are going to be in so much trouble." she said to them

I just looked at the girl who seemed to be Amanda, but say nothing, much like Sara and Gulten I just ignore her, though I do wonder why Amanda díd what she did.

"Hey, I'm talking you mick" Amanda said to Sara, Sara wanted to deck Amanda for that, but Gulten stopped her

"Go your way and leave the girls alone or I arrest you for harassment." I said to Amanda, giving her a warning glance.
Actually still be on duty I knew that I could do that and I knew she wasn't going to like it.

Amanda looked at her, "Your not tough dike" she replied

I just gave Amanda a small smile, but say nothing. Oh, I could play her games, but I wasn't really up to it.
"You girls still have classes today?" I asked Sara and Gulten.

"No" Sara and Gulten replied, at the same time, Amanda shoved Sara hard, knocking her to the floor

I grabbed Amanda's arm, holding her captive so she won't run and pretend to get my cuffs out of my pocket, just wanting to see her reaction, as Sara got up again.
"You okay, Sara?" I asked her.

Sara got up, "I'm okay" she replied, shoot Amanda a look, "Let me go!" she screamed at Haylen, seeing Haylen go for her handcuffs, "Shut up Amanda" Sara said to her

"So, will you say sorry to Sara and Gulten?" I asked Amanda, but not letting go, my tone serious and strict, something I never did around the girls before, but this was something different.

Sara and Gulten watched as Haylen held onto Amanda, "All right, all right, you win, I'm sorry!" Amanda said to Haylen

"Good. You better not do anything to them ever again, understand?" I said firmly, letting go of Amanda.

Amanda pulled back, then nodded, "Yes ma'am" she replied, "And Amanda, keep this in mind: I may be Roman Catholic, but I'm also an Irish woman and have been tought self-defense from my boyfriend and my father." Sara added

I smiled a little as I watched them. Case solved? I hoped so.
"Anyone wants to join me for hot chocolate?" I asked the two girls.

Amanda nodded, then ran off, Sara watched her, then looked at Haylen, "I'm for it" she said, Gulten nodded as well, "Me too" she added

"Then let's go." I said to them, offering them a smile.

Sara and Gulten followed Haylen out of the school, it was the end of the day anyway
