      Lee, her boyfriend, Zach, Scott and I  strutted through the hallway as if we owned the place. I mean we do right? We're seniors.
"Bye babe." Scott smiled and waved as they all turned left and I turned right.
"Bye." I yelled over my shoulder.
Before I could turn my head to look forwards, someone crashed straight into me causing me to fall backwards. As I hurried to stand up and grab my books someone started talking to me.
"Look where you're going, bitch." said a guy who's voice I didn't recognize.
It was just like you would imagine. I heard a shuffling of feet as people crowded around us in a semi-circle and began ooh-ing at his comment.
I looked up and was met with a pair of sky blue eyes.
Nick Riggs. The only guy in our entire grade who'd never proclaimed his love for me.
"Sorry." I murmured. Nick has always made me uncomfortable. He was... Different. I wouldn't say weird, more like creepy.
"You better be, fat ass." he laughed as his friends started going crazy laughing and fist bumping.
"Whatever." I said, feeling my cheeks begin to burn with anger.
"Woah, doll face much?" He commented, "That must be why your mom left."
Bam. That stung. No one laughed. Instead of fist bumping, his friends punched him in the arm.
"What the hell man?" one of them whispered.
A tear ran down my cheek.
Through my blurry eyes I saw someone jump out of the crowd and punch Nick square in the face.
"What's wrong with you?!" Nick shouted, tackling the guy down. "Who do you think you are?!"
I was just standing there, crying.
Nick ran to class with his buddies.
I helped the guy up, still not knowing who he was.
"Hey." he smiled.
His smile was crooked and he had bruises all over his face.
"Hey." I said, "Are you ok?" I inquired.
"Yeah I'm cool. It's Cam, by the way. Or, Cameron, but everyone calls me Cam."
He seemed nervous so I laughed to break the tension."I'm Anika."
"Cool." he scratched the back of his neck and ruffled his hair.
He was cute. He had brown hair that he had gelled up and hazel eyes. His lips were plump, but that might have just been that Nick had attacked him. He wore khakis and a Vans tee shirt.
"Thanks by the way." I smiled, "For helping me."
Cam shrugged. "Student by day, superhero by night. Or I guess both by day... Asleep by night."
We laughed.
"Well I have to get to class." I said.
"See ya."
"New to meet you, new kid."
