00:00The crowd parted.
00:01Callan stood in the doorway, watching us coldly.
00:03He'd probably just left a meeting.
00:05His suit was perfectly neat, completely out of place in the wrecked office.
00:08Chairs were overturned, papers and folders covered the floor.
00:11By then, I'd finally calmed down.
00:13I silently covered the cut on my arm and said nothing.
00:16Vanessa had always been more popular than me,
00:18so almost everyone immediately sided with her.
00:21Sadie, you can't just attack someone like that.
00:23Mr. Valtali, we all saw it. Sadie started it.
00:25Vanessa didn't even fight back at first.
00:27She's always so quiet.
00:29I had no idea she was this crazy.
00:31No one asked what Vanessa had done to me.
00:33No one cared.
00:33Vanessa sat on the floor, her hair a mess and one cheek swollen.
00:36The second she saw Callan, her eyes filled with tears.
00:38They rolled silently down her cheeks,
00:40somehow making her look even more pitiful than if she'd been sobbing.
00:42She ignored everyone defending her.
00:45Instead, she reached for Callan's pant leg.
