Bobby Brown

As I finished my second period, I walked to the cafeteria alone. Biology is my least favorite class because my friends weren't in the same class and it's boring as hell. I sat at the cafeteria at our usual table, waiting for the guys to come. I looked up and it's Johnny and Lagi walking and laughing together. He must've gotten to make her love him.

I didn't want to admit it but I felt a feeling I haven't felt before. I felt a little angry and jealous. I'm usually not like that because half the time, I don't even care.

Lagi walked over to the school lunch line. I usually don't get school lunch but because she did, I might start getting it more often. I walk into the lunch line.

"'Okay if I go in front of you?" I ask Lagi.

"Sure." I'm weirded out that I like her but I'm not scared to talk to her or anything. She's easy to talk to.

"So what classes did you just have?" I asked her, trying to get rid of all the awkwardness.

"I just had biology and English and I have Japanese, math, and history next."

"Oh? I have Japanese next, too." I said then she smiled.

"Do you wanna walk to Japanese together?" She asked me. It sounds desperate but not too desperate. But I'm happy she was the one who asked instead of me asking. "Sure! I'd love to." I can't help but blush a little bit.

We get our lunch and sit down at the table.

"How are you two lovebirds doing?" Says Dutch in an annoying voice. I blush a little but roll my eyes.

"So, what do you guys do for fun around here." We explain about the karate classes. Johnny tells her that she can come by the dojo after school. I hope she'll be joining us. She seems determined to join but worried. We found out that she had the same home room as us right after the bell rang. Room 107 with Mr Barnes. We had to have a short study hall before our next classes.

We all walk to our home room. I see Ali Mills and Derrick Barbanks. Ali mills is one of the prettiest girls in the school according to everyone else. Blonde hair and blue eyes. She's talking to Derrick Barbanks. Brown hair with freckles and green eyes. One of the school bullies. Everyone calls me and my friends bullies but it's mostly all of them except me, but they still think of me as a bully.

Lagi is staring at them. She kinda looks jealous. As if she's not cute already. I walk up to her.

"That's Ali Mills. One of the popular girls. Almost every guy had a crush on her. Well, except for me, Dutch and Jimmy." She scoffed. "Oh...makes sense."

"Don't worry. You're like 10x prettier than her." Kinda glad and a little angry that I said it out loud. She can probably tell that I have a crush on her.

"Th-thanks." She stammered. I see her face get red. And she's kind of dark skinned. Dark enough where your face wouldn't get red as much as lighter people.

"No problem. You can sit in any seat." I walk over to my seat and I have to pass through Ali and Derrick's dumb conversations. I get a little anxious hoping Lagi'll pick the empty seat right next to me.

Lagi starts walking over to me. I sigh, relieved. Just then that prick Derrick Barbanks trips Lagi. She gets up angry. Still red on her face.

"What the hell was that for?" She exclaims.

"Oh no! I made this slut mad! What are you gonna do? Call your five boyfriends to save your slutty whore ass?" He said in his snarling fierce voice. You could almost see his fangs with his slicked mullet.

"Derrick, leave her alone." Ali said. At least she's nice enough to tell that asshole to shut the hell up.

"Whatever. You got lucky, prick." Derrick made his last point but it enrages me.

"Hey! Leave her alone, asshole." I walk over there and yell at him.

"What did you just say? Do you wanna say that to my face?" He replied. I try to think of something to say back.

"I don't know. 'Cause all I see is an ass with two eyes." It's so ridiculous but kind of good enough to anger Derrick Barbanks. I try to say it without laughing so I stare at Derrick's light green eyes.

"Hey man. Do you wanna go right now? Because I'll fight you right now, karate boy." There goes Derrick blabbing his big mouth and getting into a weak fighting stance.

"Guys, stop fighting." Ali says. Lagi walks over to me.

"Bobby, it's fine." she says in a tired voice as she placed her hand on my shoulder. "Just forget about it." I'm still smirking but we walk back to our seats.

"Pussy." Derrick mutters and spits on the floor like he's some guy. It makes me furious. It made me even more angry that he was embarrassing me in front of the girl I love. The first thing that comes to me head. Punch him. So I turn around, make a tight fist and punch Derrick right in his ugly face. He lands on the ground wincing and almost bleeding while I'm feeling proud of myself.

"Oh my god! What was that for?" Ali says worried. I glance over at Lagi and she's just shocked. I hear Dutch and Tommy laughing loudly. I look down at Derrick and he looks up slightly horrified when I didn't even punch him that hard on purpose.

Mr Barnes walks in so I look away acting like nothing happened.

"What on earth is happening here?" The teacher yelled. Derrick sniffs and lies.

"These two ganged up on me." Then he points at me and Lagi. I turn around and give him a dirty look.

"No we didn't! You saw it too, right, Ali?" Lagi says trying to defend me and her.

"He's lying." Ali says.

"Get up, Barbanks." Mr Barnes yells at Derrick. He glares at all of us.

"What are you looking at? Go back to your seats." We were all pretty much scared of him so we quickly run back to our seats.

I tried to focus on my notes from biology. Not worrying about her. While I was halfway done with my notes the bell rang. Then I had to go to Japanese.

Lagi was going to come with us to our karate lessons. I was kind of nervous on how our Sensei, Kreese, would react because his old fashioned self would probably only let Lagi watch. But it was the perfect opportunity to try to impress here so she won't be with the blonde pretty boy or any of the others.
