Over the passed 6 months, nothing much has changed. I'm still a loner and I still don't talk at all. It's the last day of school and I'm just relaxing in classes. I'm walking to my last class for the day and I actually liked that class because Lexi has that class and we usually walk to class together.

I was walking to class with my earbuds in and my hood over my head like normal. I saw by the classroom when I saw this dude Kyle standing in front of Lexi. I looked at Lexi in her eyes and I could tell she was scared so I pulled my ear buds and walked over there. I quickly made my way over there then I took my hand and grabbed Kyle by his shoulder and spun him around to face me. I then pointed behind me.

Kyle: What do you want!?

I once again pointed behind me. Lexi saw that and she knows me. She can look at me or see my gestures and know what I want.

Lexi: H-He wants you to leave...

Kyle smirked before he slightly pushed me. It wasn't really a push so much as he lightly smacked my chest.

Kyle: He does? Let him tell me himself...

Kyle continues to smack at my chest with a cocky smile.

Kyle: ...come on superstar. Tell me. Tell me to leave.

He clipped my chin and I looked to Lexi. I turned my head to the left quickly and she picked up on my signal. Lexi quickly moved to the direction I pointed. I looked and saw that she was far away enough. I balled my fist up and punched Kyle right in the mouth. He stumbled back towards the locker while being suprised and dazed. I stepped forward and continued to swing until I felt someone grab me and pull me back so I stopped.

I was slung back by one of the Assistant Principals, Mr. Roberts. He's the kind of guy that can tell has no authority at home at all so the authority he has here has gone to his head. He grabbed me bu the back of my neck and started trying to drag me to his office. I stopped in my tracks and he turned to face me.

Mr. Roberts: GET...

I just started angrily into his eyes. He stopped mid sentence and let go of me. I walked in front of him into his office. I sat down in the chairs in front of his desk. He came in screaming about how we don't fight at school and all this bs but I wasn't listening. I was checking for dirt under my nails when he aggressively grabbed my hand.

Mr. Roberts: DON'T YOU IGNORE ME! I COULD...

I knew he was gonna threaten me so I looked back up at him. I looked deep into his eyes with the same angry stare as before. He once again stopped his thought but this time he changed his entire demeanor.

Mr.Roberts: ...look, it's the last day. You're going to high school next year so we're just going to send you home. You just sit tight.

I shook my head in response. I pointed behind me with my thumb where Lexi was waiting.

Mr.Roberts: We'll send her home too. You just win us state.

I nodded as Mr.Roberts got on his desk phone. He made some calls before he sent me out to wait with Lexi. About 30 minutes later, Bob came in and signed us out. We left and I sat in the back with Lexi during the quiet car ride.

Lexi moved to the middle seat and sat where there was no space between us. She rested her head on my shoulder during the ride. I had my head down as I could feel Bob looking at me through the rear view mirror. I slightly moved my head and gave Lexi a kiss on the top of her head. I looked into the mirror and saw Bob smile as he continued to drive.

We got home and I went straight to my room with Lexi hot on my trail. I turned my music on and laid on the bed. Lexi laid right beside me and wrapped her arms around me. From that point on, I couldn't move. I went to change the CD but Lexi tightened her grip.
