Page walked out of the small house and began walking but stopped. She turned around and saw Chris also coming out and placing his hood over his head. Page just noticed that most of the clothes he wore were really big and baggy. She shook her thoughts away and turned back around while hearing Chris's light footsteps. To Page, it was a little bit relaxing knowing that someone will be looking over her.

As she walked up stairs, went through the subway, or went up the excavator he was right there by her side the whole time till she got to school safely.

________________Flashback

Walking up behind Ye-jun "Hey" He said as she turned around he threw a lite-up cigarette at her face. She couldn't even express the pain before he pushed her against the wall letting her face smash up against it. He put a knife to her throat "Don't touch Page" He said before letting go and running off.

_________________After School

Chris sat in front of Page at the table keeping his gaze on her as she did schoolwork. "What are you memorizing," he asked watching her look up at him "A composition" She simply said "What for" She looked back down at her work "Our teacher can predict exam topics" she explained "Predict" he muttered. Page had a look on her face like she wanted to tell him something. "Don't tell me I don't want to know," He said picking up one of her English books off the table and leaning back into his chair.

She blinked a few times "Why don't you go to school" She asked seeing that her attention was now on him "It's useless"He said "It's not" She replied. He got quiet "Its useful for you but useless for me," he said opening the book and reading the quote that was in bold 'We are in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars'. He shifted his eyes at her "You are too pure you don't get it" He said with a small smile.

________________Next day after school

"Whos protecting you," A girl said with small tears in her eyes as she grabbed both of Page's hands cupping them with her own "Can he protect me too," she said pleading. Page didn't say anything and the girl started to really cry "Why is it my turn" she said "I did everything they said" She stood there crying while her tears ran off her face "I'll take you home" Page said walking off. The girl watched her walk away with a shocked expression before catching up.
