"Please don't do this" I squirmed
"What did you say? Freak?" My bully remarked.
He pushed me down in front of everyone as a circle formed. In the crowd I saw someone that my eyes fancied and suddenly kept finding itsself looking at this person again, and again. As I scanned I noticed this girl who seemed to be pretty attached to him..
Dating... I thought. The way she grabbed him and looked at him and held his hand...
"Hey I'm talking to you freak!" My bully shouted
Just as my bully was about to raise his hand and slap me.. a girl. Someone from the crows came rushing and pushed him. My hands covered my face out of instinct but as I slowly put them down I noticed a familiar boy from my social studies class.
Pushing through the crowd I saw the head principle heading my direction.

*walking out of the principals office*
"So.. I didn't quite catch your name" he smiled sending butterflies to my stomach.
"Camilla" I said sticking my hand out
"Ben" he replied shaking my stuck out hand.
"Thanks for saving me back there" I smiled
"No worries, let me walk you to class" he smiled back
As we walked to class we both figured out we had more in common than i thought. Once we reached the door he gave me a little side hug as to signify a goodbye. After he left I heard a noise coming from down the hall as I saw a familiar boy from the crowd standing at his locker and quickly looking away from me.
He was your typical bad boy, pretty and popular girlfriend, he plays football. You know the works. But there was a side to him that nobody knew. Not even his close friends. That's what I liked about him. But he had a girlfriend so.

Later after school I was going through my pockets when I noticed a small paper with some numbers on aa.
"028-339-66535 - Ben " it wrote.
I chuckled at the thought and decided to call him.
*buttons pressing*
*dialing*
"Hello, this is Ben?"
I didn't know what to say yet.
"Sup Ben" I said full of energy
"Camila, hey.. seems like you found my note" he chuckled
"Looks I did you sneak" I giggled
We began talking on the phone for hours and each time he would say something I'd go red.
"Soo.. tomorrow at school. Want me to walk you to class"
"Meet me at my locker"
——————-
Ever since then he's been walking me to and from classes and we have been spending out lunches together. But everyone I noticed that, that popular boy keep watching us, we'd catch glanced across the a halls and sometimes he'd smirk or flirt with me. He and Ben were two very different people.
Once when I was walking to the bathroom by myself he grabbed me and pushed me against the wall!
He whispered in my ear "looking good today milla" short for Camilla.
