Pov Sage

"Sage, now sit on a chair or you can report in," the teacher growls. I swallow, if I have to report I really have a big problem with my mother. I sigh and stand up. "The ground is everywhere you need it," I sulk and plop down on the chair next to Fox. "Hey princess" I hear him say. You can almost hear him screeching. Grr. I hate him so damn much. I just try to ignore him. I pack my things and try to focus on the lesson.

Strangely enough, I can concentrate pretty well until I feel a hand on my knee. I completely freeze. Fox draws circles on my knee with his thumb. His hand creeps up a bit. I quickly push him away. He chuckles.

I walk out of the room sighing. Phew, that lesson took so terribly long. I feel an arm around my shoulders. Fox. That guy can't go to other girls or something. "It's me again," he grins. "I see," I mumble and roll my eyes. "Ouch," he suddenly says. His arm disappears from my shoulder when someone pushes him forward. "Fox was just about to leave," I hear Meri say as he puts an arm around my shoulders. "Oww, I get it. You guys are in a relationship now," Fox says and takes a step closer to Meri. Meri pulls me behind her and also takes a step closer to Fox. "Unlike you, I'm doing pretty well," Meri grunts. "What do you mean by that?" Fox growls. "Guys!" I shouted trying to pull them apart. Meri punches Fox. Fox hits Meri squarely in the eye. They get into a fight. I'm still trying to take them apart but I can't. A few other boys walk into the hallway. I'll rush there. "Can you please help take them apart?" I beg and point to Meri and Fox. They nod understanding and go there. 2 pull away Foxen and the other 2 Meri. "Let me go," Fox shouts. Meri tries to pull away from the grip. "Stay away from her!!" Meri shouts at Fox. "And otherwise," Fox still grins, strangely enough. He has a nosebleed and a few bruises. I look at Meri. He has a black eye and a small cut on his lip. "Thank you. Can you take him to the nurse?" I ask the boys. "Yes, it will happen," she says, holding Fox. "Hey, that's not necessary," Fox protests while the two boys help him to the stairs. "Shut your mouth and move on," one growls. I chuckle and look back at Meri. He doesn't look good either. "Thank you. It works," I say to the 2 other boys and smile at them. "No problem," says a boy with black hair. They release Meri. He immediately pulls me towards him and shoots the other boy a death glare. I chuckle. They walk away. "Bye," I call after them and then look back at Meri. "Are you OK?" I ask, running my fingers over the area around his eye. he makes a bit of a difficult face but recovers quickly. His hair is completely messed up. "Sage isn't staring at me like that, I'm not a monkey," he tries to say with a laugh, but his eye is bothering him, which is noticeable. "We're going to get ice cream," I say. I grab his hand and pull him to the nurse.

"Wait here," I say to Meri. "Woof" he answers and holds his hands in the air like a dog. I chuckle and walk into the nurse's room. Fox is sitting on a chair. "Hey princess, where is sir, I would like to act tough," he says. "He's sitting here on the chair you're sitting on," I say with a fake smile and look at the nurse. "I have the other idiot from the fight outside. Do you have some ice?" I ask. "Sure Sage" she chuckles and grabs some ice.
