The Academy

Chapter 4

"Please just leave me alone!" I yelled about to cry. My hand making a fist. If I punch first I could be locked in my room for three days.

"Hahahaha. You are such a weirdo. Hahaha. You should have never came to this school. Just drop out." Said my old bully.

"Please just leave me alone. I don't want to fight. I won't look at you or even bother you please leave me alone."

"Really you're in the academy to learn how to fight and protect people. And you can't even protect yourself. Your so lame." It was Angela who bullied me. Every once in awhile she would always say I should have never came to the academy. She then punched me with built up anger. Which slammed me into the wall.

"Hey leave her alone!!!" A boy yelled a couple of feet away.

Angela ran when she heard him. Leaving me where she cornered me. Hot tears ran down my face. I hugged my knees close to my chest and cried. Then I felt a warm hand on my back when I looked up it was that boy that told Angela to stop. Then out of nowhere he picked me up. (bridal style)

"Hey are you okay, what did she say to you to get you so upset?" He said gently and looked at me. But I didn't answer him. I just cried into his shoulder.

"She's such a bully to make such a pretty girl cry" I looked up at him to see a warm smile and he wiped away my tears.

"What?"I said confused. "You think I'm pretty?"

"Yeah!" The boy said with a grin. "Anyways your name is Marcline right?"

"Yeah how did you know my name is Marcline."

"It's such a pretty name that belongs to a pretty girl. How could I forgot?" He said seriously. I blushed lightly."My name's Dawson by the way."

"Yeah I know your name. I really like it." I said looking into his eyes. They we're grey and had this shine in them. His hair had a greyness which looked really soft and fluffy. He was strong enough to pick me up and very handsome. I blushed at my thoughts and so did he for some reason.

"Ummm..... where are you taking me" I asked to break the silence. "And I can walk."

"I'm taking you to the girls dormitory. It's getting late. I know you can walk but you were crying so I thought I will carry you there. Is that okay?" He gulped and looked at me hoping I would say yes.

"Sure.... actually can you put me down I'll walk" he said "ohh" at my words. After he put me down he walked away with his head down. A sad look on his face.

"Okay.....bye then." Dawson said with a light smile and sounding depressed I felt guilty.

"Wait!...Dawson...Can you come with me...in case she comes back." I said grabbing the back of his shirt.

"Yeah!(cough cough)I mean.. sure. I guess I could walk with you." He tried to hided his happiness and grabbed my hand.

From that day he became my best friend.
