Let's Face It Together

New Friend

**Kevin's POV**

As I walked away a drop of tear came down and then I was stopped by a hand.

"Is anything wrong?" a sweet voice came in front of me.

As I rose my head the vision was blur and the next moment a soft hand came up and wiped my tears away. She was... I don't know her name but I knew that she was Lacey's busmate 'the best friend' type.

"Nothing!" was all I could reply. I didn't had strength to say anything. But this came from my heart.

"Are you a girl? I'm sorry to say but this is what a girl replies when this question is asked to her."

I remained quiet for her to go away. I didn't had courage to speak anything to anyone.

"Look, you can share your things with me. Don't need to feel alone and empty."

Why the hell is she after me?

"I don't even know your name and I'm not interested in speaking to anyone. So why don't you just help me to leave me alone?" I was extreamly frustrated with unnecessary concern of-of whoever she was.

I turned around to my class and sat there before the bell rang.

The last two boring physics and english lecture went on and on.

But finally school ended and I took my bag to move out. As I reached my locker I saw that girl again and she was crying leaning to one of the lockers which was five feet away from mine. I don't know what happened to me that I went their and asked her...

"You okay?" she looked at me. At first with a confused look but recognised me as she focused her blur vision on me and hugged me hard while she wept harder. As if I was the only pillar to give her support. I took my hand to keep it on her back.

"What happened to you? The one was after a sad boy is now back with the same sorrow on her face!" I said sarcastically and it worked. She chuckled and pulled back herself from me.

"Not so funny!" she chuckled again and wiped her tears.

"You okay now. Or need another hug!" I smirked.

"Oh you flirto! It's okay. I'm fine now."

Did I just flirt with her? Woah! I'm so proud of myself. That wasn't too hard to do!

"Anyways you going by bus?" she asked.

"No! Today I thought to walk home."

"Can I join you if you don't mind?"

"Yaa sure why not."

And we walked out of the school. It was a pleasent weather and..

"Wait! What is your name?" I stopped her and asked as if talking to a stranger.

She laughed at first but then let her hand out. "I'm Jenny! And nice to meet you Kevin."

I smiled back. While walking we were passing through a lake.

"Shall we?" I pointed towards it and she nodded.

We sat there on either side of each other facing the lake.

"So what happened?" I asked her. She was uncomfortable with the think I asked but seconds later she replied.

"You know Kiara, the worst girl in the whole campus, unfortunately she is in my class. Today after recess she called me a bitch and what not, in front of every one just because her eraser came under my feet and got crushed. She said it was a special gift from someone and that it was imported and bla bla..! She insulted me in front of the whole class!" and tons of tears ran down her cheek.

What a stupid reason to cry! Are girls so sensitive?

And soon she broke apart and leaned further down to touch her head to the grassy ground.

I got up moving in front of her and raising her head to rest on my chest.

"Shh! Just calm down. It's okay. It will happen daily. She is already a bitch and if you will be so weak then she will take advantage of you. She's gonna crush you with her box of insults and fowl words. You have to be strong and brave enough to overcome it." I guess these were only the words that I could speak but not follow. It also matched my situation but I didn't gave a damn to follow these.

"Yaa sure I will!" she said while she detached herself from me. She was the first girl who hugged me. Otherwise it was my mom who did as a female.

"By the way, what was wrong with you during recess?" she asked me.

Shall I tell her? But she is Lacey's friend. Infact her best friend. Wat if she told her?

"It's, kind of, related to your... best friend, Lacey."

"She isn't my best friend. But yeah we're, like together-together. She has a terrible background!"

"Yeah! I know. I mean, I can see her struggle."

"Do you... You're in love!"

"You asking or telling?"

"Actually both! Anyways speak out."

And she deserved an explanation.

"From the first day I had a crush...." and so I told her the Story Of My Life!
