"...No..." Muchina replied cautiously.

Andre sat next to her and pulled out his sack lunch.

Muchina was on edge, he looked familiar, and she knew Arron's eyes were naturally blue, so were his...

"...Youre Arron's brother, right...?" She asked fearfully.

"Yes-- Stop looking at me like that, I'm not gonna hurt you..." He spoke gently, putting a hand on her shoulder, causing her tense posture to loosen a little.

"...Sorry... I'm... I'm just not used to any kindness..." She spoke quietly.

"I know... And I'm very sorry for that..." He squeezed her shoulder to comfort her, and Muchina felt  a little of a queasy feeling in her stomach.

"I-It's fine..." She stuttered a bit.

"OI! ANDRE, GET AWAY FROM THAT THING!"

Her face fell.

Arron walked over, grabbing Muchina's arm and yanking her to her feet.

"Let go of her." Andre glared.

Muchina whimpered as Arron's grip tightened, no doubt she'd have a whole new layer of bruises from the boy.

"Why? No one cares about this bratty little waste of space." He kicked her to the ground, causing the recently-gathered crowd to laugh as she scraped her knee, blood staining the cement.

Andre shot up, pulling his napkin from his bag and helping Muchina sit, gently dabbing up the blood, then putting her hand over it to hold it there as he rose at the silent crowd.

"You touch her again and I'll sucker punch you. Got it?" He growled at his brother.

Arron was silent for a moment.

"Just because dad left two months ago doesn't mean you can hurt people. And especially not Muchina. She's taken your abuse silently and never hit back. She's the kindest and most misunderstood girl in this school. But you wouldn't understand that. You'd never take the time to."

Andre gently picked her up in his arms,  carrying her to the nurses office. (Yes, he actually did that. And it wasn't the last time he did either.)

The crowd stood their in awe.

And among them were three other misfits named Damian, Raven, and Kourtney.

A few days afterwords, Andre stood up for them as well.

And so the nuts in a pod were made.
