Norman's pov

Tw: blood, being dazed from pain, small panic attack

Before I knew what was happening, my nose was smashed against my face and I slammed to the ground. Blood was splattering, and everything hurt so bad. Those jerks... where is Ray??

Then I heard Braxton say, "What are you gonna ...." and then everything sounded like my ears had gone underwater. I saw Ray moving, and he looked like he was shining and suddenly he was really pretty... then my hearing came back just as there was a loud sound and blood spattered from Braxtons face, and he hit the ground. And Ray... he was doing this for me? Everything is so shiny. And Ray most of all. How long has he been so beautiful? What's happening? I think I'm still dazed... The gang of kids scampered, probably because Ray had scared them. My head was clearing, and my vision wasn't shimmery anymore.

Then Ray came close and stood over me, he was stammering an apology and then he asked if I was alright.

"Yeah, I don't think anything is broken, just really hurts." I sat up and grasped my face, a new wave of pain flowing through me as I moved.

Ray reached his hand out to me. I blushed a little and took it, keeping one hand on my nose.

"Sorry, I've got blood on my hand," I said, noticing that his was red now as I let go.

"It's fine. I'm really so sorry Norman, this all my fault..."

He looked completely dismayed, so I said, "Nah, all you did was avenge me."

"But..." then he smiled. "Alright then."

I smiled back, taking my hand off my face, but winced. He looked so wonderful. Oh no. I'm crushing on Ray, huh? I was worried at first, but then it just kind felt right. This is a mild annoyance. 

"O-Oh gosh, Norman, your face! What can I do??" Ray seemed to be back at panicking now.

"Er... I don't know. I really don't want to go in the school." I shuddered. School was awful. It was so loud, and I got overwhelmed so fast, and now, with the pain and the attention would be on me, and it would... I don't know. It's probably really stupid. I should just deal with it and go-

Ray interrupted my thoughts, "We'll go back to my place. No one's home, so you can wash your face and put ice on it and stuff."

Authors Note: that chapter was really short, but I'll add more soon. Next one will be Norman pov again. Now, for a piece of advice:if you see a pigeon, know to act the opposite of how it does. Never trust a pigeon.
