LEMON BOY

"SHES COMING," Stacy spoke, a hand on her hip as she smirked.

"Who?" Oliver asked after being unaware of the conversation around him for the past twenty minutes.

Stacy laughed and linked her arm with Oliver, "Jane silly!"

Oliver pushed his arm away making the girl stumble back slightly, she frowned at him.

As Jane walked by Angela extended her foot and Jane tripped over it, dropping her assignment.

"Oh my God!" Angels spoke sarcastically, laughing slightly.

Oliver's naturally annoyed face dropped even further after seeing the girl fall to the floor.

"I am so sorry!" Angela spoke, sarcasm dripping in her voice.

"I hope Mr Fibbly's okay!" The girl laughed, and began walking away, Oliver walked with them but couldn't pull his eyes away from the girl on the floor.

They've never gone this far, the most they've gone is name call or laugh at her, but they've never resulted in anything physical.

"Come on Oliver!" Stacy spoke, still laughing at Jane. That must've brought Oliver out of his slight trance as turned his head towards the friends and walked faster.

"Angela!" Jane shouted, the blonde and the rest of her friends turned around. She stuck her arm out and screamed, the crowd went silent, Oliver included who just stood there confused.

"Holy shit!" Angela spoke.

"What the hell was that?" Stacy spoke, laughing along with Angela and the rest of the crowd. Oliver laughed awkwardly, getting second-hand embarrassment from the girl.

A teacher pushed her way through the crowd, she saw Jane in the middle of the crowd and rushed over.

Oliver couldn't really hear them, but he did hear Mrs Gracey telling Angela to come with her.

"What? Why? I didn't do anything. Tell her, Jane. Tell her!"

The crowd began to disperse, including Stacy and Jake. Stacy tried tugging on Oliver's shirt but he nudged her off.

"I forgot something... I'll be right back." Oliver's two friends looked at him before shrugging and walking off.

He slowly made his way towards the girl and bent down to help her pick up a few of the pieces.

"El! El! El! Shit." Will spoke rushing over to his sister, not noticing the brunette boy helping her.

"El... I'm sorry, it's gonna be okay... It's not that bad...We'll fix it together, okay?"

Jane just stared at the mini figure of her father in hand, "Here," Oliver spoke, putting some pieces back into the blue box.

Will snapped his head towards Oliver, "I have some glue in my locker, you can use it to fix him..."

He glanced up to Will who was staring at him and ran a hand through his hair, "shit. I'm sorry... about them."

Jane just silently cried, "leave," Will spoke to Oliver. The brunette boy looked back at him and nodded slowly, he stood up and walked away to find Stacy and Jake.

HE EVENTUALLY found Stacy and Jake with a very annoyed Angela. "What's the damage?" Oliver asked, leaning against the metal railing Jake sat on.

The blonde huffed, "I got a week's detention because she snitched!"

"I mean - she didn't technically snitch," Oliver reasoned, gripping the railings behind him.

"Oliver," Angela said, looking at him, "shut up."

The brunette boy rolled her eyes and switched his weight onto his other foot, "don't tell me to shut up when you're the one whining."

"Don't speak to her like that," Jake spoke, furrowing his eyebrows as he got off of the metal railing.

Oliver shrugged with a glare on his face, "she was speaking first."

Jake nudged him, "doesn't give you the right to speak to Angela like that."

Oliver nudged him back, "don't. You and I both know I'd beat the shit out of you."

Jake didn't say anything he just continued pushing Oliver, the boy bit the inside of his cheek to calm himself down before he got detention for fighting.

"What?" Jake spoke, nudging Oliver again, "too scared?"

But before Oliver could swing for Jake, Angela and Stacy pushed the two boys away from one another.

"What the hell is wrong with you, Jake?" Stacy said, a hand on her hip. Jake just glared at the girl.

Angela sighed and rolled her eyes, "I don't need you to try to 'protect me', you're just embarrassing yourself."

Jake scoffed and walked away, Angela followed behind him with a sigh while Stacy stayed with Oliver.

"So..."
