I flinched as he pinned me up against the wall. He smirked as a tear ran down my cheek. I felt the pain rise and I broke down crying.
"Stop crying. We're just having fun." He said.
I spit in his face. I knew I was going to be late to math because of him. He was smart too,he had grabbed me during the 4 minutes. I only had about a minute before the warning bell rang and everyone was in class by now. Who was going to save me?!
He gave me a death glare and raised his fist. He was going to punch me.
"Aye Raymond! What the hell dude!? Don't punch her she's a girl." Someone yelled from behind him.
"Jose get the hell to class." Raymond said.
Jose walked up to Raymond and removed his hand from my collar. He grabbed my arm and pulled me away.
"If I see you do that to her again,I'll kick you off the football team,Got it." Jose said turning to look at him.
Raymond just glared at me. He was so getting me back later. Once we turned the corner the bell rang. Great now I'm late.
"Sooooooo. What's your name?" He asked slowly.
I put my head down. "Rose."
"Rose. Like Rose Quartz? That's my favorite gem stone." He babbled.
I giggled,"And you're Jose right?"
He nodded rapidly. "Yup. Sorry about Raymond.....Was that the first time that's happened? If you don't mind me asking?"
"No it's okay and no....He always does that....I guess today was just my lucky day." I said looking at a bruise Raymond had given me last week. Everyone knew about me and Raymond but they were to scared to do anything but they helped me get on my feet.
"He's an asshole." Jose growled.
"Yeah....Well we should get to class." I said.
"What class are you suppose to be in?" He asked.
"Mr. Taylor and you?" I told him.
"No way I am suppose to be in there too!" He said happily.
Jose had ice blue eyes and a dark brown hair. And did I mention those eyes?!
"Then let's go before he marks us absent." I said walking to my math class.
He followed,once we got in there we noticed the class lined up against the wall.
"Oh great you made it. I thought you weren't here Rose. I can let this one slid. But Mr. Stephan's you need to head to get a tardy slip now." Mr. Taylor said.
"Wait. No,he was just helping me pick up papers." I blurted out.
Mr. Taylor gave me an confused look and shrugged. "You're lucky I believe Rosie." Mr. Taylor said.
I nodded and made my way to the line of kids against the wall.
"Okay kids,today I will be doing seat changes. I don't want no complains." He said.
Everyone nodded and he began to call people. He called me and I was now sitting at the front of the class. I looked to see who was sitting next to me. I almost jumped out my seat when I saw Jose sitting next to me. He smiled and waved. I waved back.
"Okay now I need to go somewhere so Mr. Lynette will watch you for the rest of the class." Mr. Taylor said passing out a worksheet. He left when he was done and Mr. Lynette came in. He sat down and began to type away on his laptop.
"Hey." Jose said.
"Hello...." I blushed.
"Can I ask you something?" Jose asked catching my gaze.
I felt my heart beat. And the butterflies in my stomach started throwing up.
I blushed even more. "Ask away."
He looked deeper into my eyes and soul. "I need help on this worksheet." He smiled.
I felt my heart break and the butterflies died.
I sighed and laughed. "Sure."
I can't believe I like him. I've never liked anyone. But maybe I don't....I don't know. I'll just have to find out later. I helped do the worksheet. The bell rang after we finished.
"Hey Rose. Wanna eat lunch with me?" Jose asked.
I blushed fifty shades of red. "Um....No I wouldn't like to be a bother." I said playing with my fingers.
He laughed. "No. You're coming it's the least I can do. You are a new friend after all. Plus you owe me one for saving you." He said winking at me.
I smirked and rolled my eyes. "Fine."
We began to walk and he babbled about how much he hated math. I couldn't stop laughing.
