Be your mythical best

Sixth grade

(The girl up top is Bella)

Link's POV
Nicole. All I could think about was Nicole. It was the third week into sixth grade and already I was getting bullied. I've been bullied before so I choose to ignore them but it does get to me and pyschs me out. I bet Nicole would never get bullied. Rhett is in almost all of my classes except he's not in my band class. He chose to play guitar. Nicole is in advanced orchestra while bella is in dance. My band teacher, Mr. Laks, is a nice guy. A little strange but nice. He always has me demo for the class and it gets pretty embarrassing.

Rhett's POV
I rush past shorter people to get to my new eight grade teacher. All of these people look up to me and not in a good way. They have no choice but to look up. I finally find Mr. Jay's room and I take a seat before the bell rings. After attendance, Mr. Jay asks us all to look around the room. I do so and who do I see? Nicole. *sighs* Nicole. She's something special. Not only is she am honors student but she can play almost any instrument (author here! Hi, she cant play guitar. It would be too cliché). She's super cool and always happy. She's also going out with the most popular boy in eighth grade, Riley Ambrose Bierce. Not only is he the most popular but he's also the biggest douche you'll ever get the lovely chance of meeting. I scan the room to see anyone else I know. Bella. She's real sweet and real cute. She's Nicole's other half and the two are inseparable. Including Link, Nicole, Bella and me have all been best friends since first grade when I had the guts to talk to them. A loud piercing noise interups my thoughts. A fire drill. We all get up out of our seats and walk down the hallways and the back lot where the basketball courts are and lined up. I tried to get next to Bella in line but i got as far as Nicole. Which I was fine with. 

"Hey! I haven't seen ya around! Where have you been?" she asks in her adorable southern accent.

"Oh you um, know, um, around, heh, yeah." I say awkwardly.

"Rhett, you okay? You look a little... nervous. Is it something Link did? Or me or Bella?" she questions.

"N-n-no its just that I ah sorta," I stutter not knowing what to say. I say the first thing that pops into my head. "Link likes you." I clap my hand over my mouth after i realize what i had just said. 

"Oi! Quiet Rhett." Mr. Jay yells. I mouth "Sorry" to nicole and turn my back to her.She taps me on the shoulder. I turn around. 

"Your not serious right?" she asks nervous.

I only shrug my shoulders. The entire school then is told to get back to class. After Mr.Jay's class, we had lunch. As I walked to the atrium, I notice Nicole sitting at an empty table. her cheeks are streaked with tears. I sit down next to her and I put my arm around her shouders. She stares up at me and moves away.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"Don't act like you don't know." she cries.

"I'm sorry but i don't know Nicky." 

"Apparently someone told Link I have a HUGE crush on him and now he won't even talk to me!"

"Well I'm here to talk to."

"Rhett why are you so good to me?" she says as she hugs me. She stands up and holds out her hand to me. I get up and walk her to the table outside were Link and Bella were playing on their phones.
