Skylar POV

The minute I saw him, I didn't like him. Not for the reason most people would think either. Sure he popped into class late acting all high and mighty. And yeah he looked hella gorgeous with that bright blonde hair and killer green eyes that looked like a forest, and those cute scattered freckles. But It was mainly because I could already tell I was crushing. 

That pissed me off because I could tell he was out of my lead, a jock, and with the way he swaggered around smiling at all the girls in class, he was most definitely straight.

He stopped In front of the board awkwardly to introduce himself, it gave me some satisfaction that he at least seemed uncomfortable doing this.

"Hey guys..,um it's nice to meet you, i'm Fin" He smiled, looking over at a couple of girls.

I couldn't help but stare at that smile, which made me more annoyed with him. While I was spacing out staring at him, he must have noticed cause he was looking at me with those green eyes set in a curious manner. He was probably wondering why some plain nerd in the back of the room was staring him down.

I also must have looked ridiculous, considering I probably had a weird look on my face, being a mixture of annoyed and dazed. I also had huge fake glasses on and a baggy grey hoodie, which probably made me look unapproachable.

I gave an awkward small smile since it seemed necessary now. He grinned at me widely, his eyes crinkling a little at the corners. I felt myself blush and turned away.

When I got over my embarrassment, he had already taken a seat at the front of the class by a group of girls.

I sighed, it was just my luck that he wouldn't sit near me, but then again, I disliked him. Why would I be hoping he would sit near me. I mean he is cute, that must be why.

I argued and thought to myself the rest of class. Getting so caught up in it, I nearly missed the lunch bell. I cursed to myself and quickly grabbed my stuff.

.......

Of course by the time I arrived in the lunchroom, news about Fin had spread around and he was already becoming popular among the school. I didn't blame anyone, I mean he had the looks and the friendly, probably fake, personality.

I groaned as I took my seat by my friend.
"Hey Ash" I said to the black haired boy. He didn't notice me for a minute, to absorbed in his loud rock music.
"Hey" He replied after looking up, bobbing his head to the music he was listening to on his headphones.
I sighed and took a bite of my sandwich. Of course mom made me nothing but that, everyday.

Suddenly a hand slammed onto the table, making me jump a little. I didn't even bother to turn my ahead, already knowing who was there.  

"Hey look, it's Skylar you guys, our little nerd" a familiar jocks voice said. I sighed in annoyance and put down my sandwich.

"Hey newbie, you should greet him too" another voice added.

  I froze at hearing the mention of the blonde, I looked up from my plate to see the exact blonde I was thinking of . He seemed confused and uncertain, I didn't blame him.  

"yeah, call him some real good names and stuff" another added. I wanted to laugh at the stupidity in his voice.

"Umm" he hesitated, confused. I knew he must have come from school with less bullying by the way he was acting. I pitied him slightly but grew annoyed as time ticked by, I wanted to eat lunch sometime.
I smiled in annoyance, "would you hurry up blondie, lunch isn't that long."


He scowled at me "fine whatever. What do you want me to do guys?" He asked the jocks.

"That's the spirit. Then beat him up for us"

The blonde looked horrified at the idea which surprised me, I thought he would jump at the chance. Most people did, especially people like him.
"Ok" he nodded looking determined. This kid was weird I decided as he grabbed my arm.
"Let's take this outside ok" he smirked, pulling me along. I blinked in confusion and stumbled after him.
His friends watched with smiles as we disappeared behind the lunchroom doors. 

"um...you do know most of the time you can do this in the lunchroom right," I said.


He ignored me and continued to pull me around the side of the building.

 "soo is this.." before I could finish my question, I was shoved into the bushes.

I yelped, landing awkwardly on a branch in the bush. I cringed after hearing it crunch underneath me.

"What the fuck man, did you just push me into a bush?" I yelled out, looking up at him.

"Shhh!!" He whispered, glancing around nervously, "I won't beat you up ok, but you have to look like I did something, I'm sorry" he whispered.
"Why, I can take a punch" I responded annoyed. Did he think I was a pansy? I mean I looked like one but I got into my fair amount of fights.
"Why, because I don't hurt people," he tilted his head like I had asked him the simplest question in the world.
"Okay, that makes since," i said sarcastically. Yep he really was weird.

I tried to stand back up only to be shoved again "Hey!" I yelled out.
I looked up and my voice died out. Fin stood in front of me, face flushed in embarrassment and guilt, his eyes downcast and feet shuffling side to side in a cute manor. "Sorry, I'm done now, I hope you don't dislike me now?" He asked.

"um..I guess not," I responded.

As quickly as that cute guilty look had come, it had disappeared quickly as well, in it's place a triumph smirk.
"You'd make a good actor" I replied, confused by his quick changes in personality.
"You think so" he said cheerfully. I nodded.

He gave a thoughtful look, then looked at me again, "well that should be good, i'll go on ahead"
I watched as he hopped off, leaving me behind in the bushes. At least it didn't hurt. I felt completely awkward though, thankful no one saw me sitting there like that staring dumbly at the lunchroom doors.

I pushed myself up, cringing at the sound of more bush being squashed.
I decided to slowly walk back and limp, pretending to be more hurt then I looked. I didn't mind helping Fin out some.

Of course I was awarded with a worried look from Fin, thinking he had actually hurt me. I smiled at him from across the lunchroom and that seemed to ease him into a small smile.

I sat down again at my lunch table. Ash glanced up confused, "Did he actually hurt you that badly?"

I laughed, "No, I'm pretending for him."
Ash looked confused but nodded, "Um ok whatever bro."

He went back to his music and I ate more of my boring sandwich.



*Authors note.

I actually have sat on a bush at school before cause it looked sturdy but it crunched under my weight. It was funny at the time cause my friend saw it.

Anyway leave a comment and tell me how you like the edited version.
