defending a friend (Haylen, Katrina, Eleni)

I see Sara and Haylen walking out of the school, I quickly run after them. "Hey, What has happened? Amanda is planing a fight tomorrow, bit time trouble guys! She's getting her bitchy mates.."

I walk up and wrap my arm around Sara. "Don't worry girl we got your back."

"Well, maybe she won't even start the fight, girls. I guess my warning hit her off for some time." I said to them.

"Haylen she's with her friends again, look at her you think she will crawl back? no G, she's gonna hunt Sara's ass the rest of the school year. last year Elisa left school because of her." I tell her, obviously she has no idea how bitchy this girl is

"To me it seemed that she doesn't like the feeling of cold steel around her wrists and she didn't even feel it. If you guys need me tomorrow, I'll be there." I said, knowing that Amanda probably tries to get another fight with Sara, but I know she's a strong young woman and she has great friends.

"That's an act" Eleni looks at Haylen like she's crazy. "and I thought you were the detective here" why did my uncle hire her if she really thinks Amanda is scared of her.

"I know that."I said firmly. "But one never knows what gets into people's mind."

"wanna bet? Amanda is too obvious" I tell her

"Thanks Katrina" Sara said to her, nodding to what Eleni said to Haylen, "Eleni is right Aunt Haylen, we better be ready for Amanda again. She's easily put off, but will be back."

"I don't doubt she will, I was just sayin'." I said to Sara, ignoring Eleni's comment about the bet.

"I know" Sara replied, "But Amanda is just waiting for me to let my guard down, she never has had anyone stand up to her."

"But I know you girls can. Just don't let her taunting words get too close to you." I said encouraging.

"Told you so" I frown at Haylen and hug Sara

"We won't" Sara replied as she returned the hug, Gulten nodded in agreement

I smile watching then. I turn to Haylen. "Hi I'm Katrina." I say putting out hand out since we have not met yet.

I turn and look at Katrina, shaking her head.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Haylen." I say.

Sara smiled as Haylen and Katrina introduced themselves to each other

I smile at Haylen. "You work with my cousin Mac Taylor right?"

I reply the smile and nod.
"Yes, I do." I replied.

I nod with my own smile. "He talks highly of you."

Sara smiled as she listened to Katrina talk

I looked at Katrina in surprise.
"Really?" I asked in pure surprise. "That surprises me."

the next day, Sara was sitting outside of the school when Amanda and three of her friends walked up to were she was, "Well, if it isn't little miss mick." Stacie, Amanda's closest friend said to Sara
