My walk to school takes longer than usual today, which I'm perfectly okay with. It just means I have less of a chance to run into any of the jerks. Well at least I hope it does. By the time reach my locker the bell rings signaling that I was definitely going to be late for my first class.

Maybe I could just skip my first class...

I have math with Mr. Skiba, and much to my disappointment all of the guys except for Shawn and Aaron are in that class.

In all honesty Mr. Skiba wouldn't even notice I was gone.

I put the rest of my stuff in my locker and sit down on ground with my phone. After about 10 minutes of playing candy crush I hear foot steps getting closer.

I glance up to see a tall boy standing in front of me with a smile set on his face. He was definitely older than me and had dark brown hair and familiar blue eyes.

Almost too familiar...

"Uh...." I mumble quickly standing up and awkwardly brushing off my jeans. "...hi."

"Hello." He says much less awkwardly than me. "What's a freshmen like yourself doing skipping class?"

The real question here is 'why is an attractive guy talking to me and not beating me up?'

"Uh... I...um-" I mumble looking anywhere than at him.

"I'm just kidding, after all your not the only one skipping. I told Mrs. Angus I had to use the bathroom 15 minute ago." He says with a laugh.

I smile and laugh a little to but don't say anything.

"So you are a freshman, right?" He asks and I nod "I thought so, I'm a junior."

"I thought so." I say repeating what he said.

He raises and eyebrow at me but chuckles. "Well I better get back before Mrs. Angus gives me detention." He turns to leave.

"I never got you name." I say shyly making the boy smile.

"Hayes." He says. "Hayes Grier."

Grier.

I step back quickly hitting the lockers behind me but he didn't seem to notice.

"And you are?"

"L-Leah." I choke out.

"Leah." He repeats. "Bye Leah."

He turns around again and continues walking.

Grier

Nash..... Grier

(During lunch)

I sit at my usual table alone in the corner of the lunchroom still trying to pull spaghetti noodles out of my hair.

Yes spaghetti noodles.

Today was spaghetti day and once again Nash "accidentally" dropped his plate of noodles on my head. I sigh and pull what i hope is the last noodle out of my hair. I set my elbow on the table and lean on it.

The cheerleaders walk past me laughing and whisper loudly about me making sure I can hear them.

"What a freak." The head cheerleader Sophie laughs.

I roll my eyes and look down at the table until I hear something that catches my attention.

"Hi, Hayes." One of the girls giggles loudly.

I glance up sure enough there stands Hayes. He waves at the girl politely before looking back at me. He reaches forward and pulls another noodle from my hair looking at me in a questioning way.

"Uh... Oops?" I say trying to cover it up.

I look behind him to see the popular girls still standing there mouths wide open and eyes popping out. I can't blame them, if be doing the same thing if a guy like Hayes was talking to a freak like me.

"Uh... Hayes why don't you come sit with us?" Sophie say twirling her hair and batting her eyelashes unsuccessful trying to be attractive.

I look at her with a disgusted look as she purposely bends over a bit showing more cleavage.

Hayes however keeps his eyes on her face and shakes his head, still keeping a smile on his face. "Maybe another day."

He sets his tray down at my small table before sitting down.

The sluts all gasp before hurrying away.

"Hello again." Hayes says returning his attention to me. "Long time no see." He jokes.

I shrug looking back at the table. I still hadn't gotten over the fact that he was related to Nash. I bet the devil himself got Hayes to do whatever it is he's trying to do.

"Where's your lunch?" He asks looking at the empty spot in front of me.

I shrug again.

"Here." He holds out his apple to me but a shook my head not wanting it.

"I'm not hungry." I say.

"Are you sure?"

I nod "I had a big breakfast." I lie

He shrugs and takes a bite of the Apple. I look away and spot my bullies sitting at their usual spot with a bunch of slutty looking girls.

Typical.

"So, Leah, now that we're friends-" Hayes starts but I cut him off.

"Friends?" I look at him weirdly at the mention of being friends.

"Well... yeah we're friends now ,aren't we" Hayes says with a slightly worried look.

"You don't even know anything about me. Why would you want to be friends with me?" I ask not believing this for a second.

"Uh, well why wouldn't I want to be friends with you?"

"You don't know anything about me." I say again. If he actually knew anything about me he wouldn't want to be my friend. He wouldn't even want to be seen with me. I find it hard to believe he wouldn't know I'm the freak of the school.

Even the middle schoolers make fun of me.

"So then let me get to know you. What's your favorite color?"

"So now we're playing 20 questions?" I roll my eyes and him but he nods. Great. "Fine, it's blue."

"Cool, mine is blue or maybe red. Who's your best friend?" He asks and I sigh.

"My brother, Leo." I say but after think for a minute I add "or Cameron, but you wouldn't know him."

"That's cute, I have two brothers, and a sister. Although I wouldn't say my brothers are my best friends, this morning when I woke up Nash and Will had duck taped me to my bed."

Oh... So Nash is his brother. I was hoping they were just cousins or something.

"oh so that's why you were late?" I joke and laugh a little.

"Yeah it took me 2 hours to get out of it while Nash recorded me." Hayes says shaking his head.

"Your brothers sound awful." I say choosing my words carefully. I didn't want Hayes to know his brother has been bullying me- well that is if he doesn't already know. Maybe that's why he's talking to me. He probably feels bad for me. Well i don't need his pity.

"Well Will isn't around much but I'm not gonna lie when him and Nash are together they can be a real pain in the butt." He laughs. "Do you know Nash? He's a senior."

I stiffen for a second but respond "um I've seen him around." I lie again, I know I'm a horrible person.

"Yeah I figured, I'd be surprised if you didn't I mean he is Mr. popular." Hayes says with a chuckle.

"Yeah... I better be going, I have to finish some homework before lunch is over." I mumble an excuse before hurrying out of the lunch room.
