Why is it that all the attractive people are also incredibly tall and never my friend? To be honest I often wonder if I exist because no-one seems to know I'm here. That is unless they walk into me by accident in the corridor. Soon after, my laptop will get withheld from me as another burley teen kindly reminds me not to walk into him, often by leaving me presents of dark purple and green bruises on my face. Lovely fellows are the rugby team.

"Oi Banner! I told you to get out of my way!" Oh great, another lovely young gentleman."Sorry Bucky, but I believe I'm actually not? You're on the other side of the corridor to me." Rugby team captain, Bucky Barnes, came closer to me and held me by the scruff of my new shirt. Sure enough, one of his followers grabbed my laptop. "I'll just have to give you another present won't I then Banner? You must love my knuckle sandwich."

I gritted my teeth and mentally prepared myself to get another beating when one of the new team members stopped him. "Bucky, dude, this isn't right. Just go to lunch and let me desk with the squirt." Bucky released the pressure on my chest and I slid slightly down the wall. I moved my head as much as I could to see who was talking. I could tell he was new because no-one stopped Bucky.

"You want a fist in your jaw dweeb?" Bucky growled. The new boy stepped forward so I could see him clearer. I could see his head covered in light, fair hair and he was rather tall, standing eye-to-eye to Bucky. His shoulders, broad and muscular, and those eyes... "Where I come from, if you're the big guy, you get other people to do the heavy lifting for you." The sweet American accent came through like a song when he spoke.
