I caught his eye from across the room, I quickly glanced back down at my hands after he looked away hoping he didn't catch the blush creeping onto my face. Ugh I don't see how anyone can be so stunning, even right after gym he looked amazing. His sparkling green eyes that never seemed to be truly focused, always glossed over and far away with a dreamy look. He was beautiful but at the same time he seemed broken. I had been obsessed with him for a few years now but every time I tried to talk to him or get close he would leave or one of my asshole teammates would just have to talk to me at that exact moment. The worst part is I'm sure he hates me, I only hang out with my teammates at school since I have no one else and I know that they bully him. I've tried talking to them about it but every time I say something they talk about how he's a loser or ask why I care so much.

Luckily it seems like they haven't been as awful to him recently but I'm not sure how long that will last. God damn, I just want to protect him, I want to wrap my arms around him and tell him no matter what I'm here and it will all be alright.

The class erupted into laughter as he declared this. I rolled my eyes not caring to respond as he sighs in frustration.
"Felix! Can you tell me your take on the theme of Romeo and Juliet since I'm afraid Axel here was not able to?" The laughter slowly died down as he said this, everyone turned to see what Felix would say.
I watched as he slowly sunk down into his seat pulling his sleeves down further covering his hands entirely.
