The Gift of Love

Sapphire pov:

What is this message? I unlocked my phone and went directly to messages. As message loaded, it turned out it was from Alex." Do you wanna go to school together tomorrow?" the message said. I replied with a yes and went straight off to bed. 

*8 hours later*

I wake up, opened my window and smelt the salty sea nearby. I quickly got dressed in my school uniform and saw Alex's car outside. I ran down the stairs and hugged Alex. I didn't mind  my fear of boys anymore because Alex was different. It wasn't a bad thing.  We arrived at school and as we walked through the school gate together, the conversations around the school turned silent. Did we do something wrong? As we spilt to go our direction, I got dragged by 3 girls.

Alex pov:

Are those three girls her friend? I shouldn't invade her privacy and her personal life. I continue walking in my direction and see a group of jocks passing a football. I then see the football slip out of one of the jocks hand and the ball landed next to me. " Hey kid, pass me the ball will you mate?" he shouted across the playground. I picked up the ball and kicked it to the jocks and they caught it. " Hey, you should join the football team here," he yelled. I walked away, smiling. I think I could get used to this place.

Sapphire pov:

I got dragged until I reached the back of the toilet block. I was really confused why I was dragged all the way to the toilet block. "Hey, what are you doing with Alex, you slimy snail," one of the girls said.  " Nothing, I'm just friends with him. Is that wrong?" I replied with. " You have no idea what your doing, do you?" the second girl sneered. In a blur, all three girl punched me and swore at me. They didn't stopped until there were bruises on my body. After I saw bruises on my legs, they walked off. I was in so much pain that it made me shed tears of pain. I limped with every step until I saw Alex. Thank God, there's a person who could help me reach help.

Alex pov:

I see Sapphire limping with every step and she looked like she was in so much pain. I ran to see if she's okay and I see bruises on her legs. What happened to her??
