Veronica's POV
I just sit here and allow myself to break down. I act so tuff and nonchalant most people assume that I'm resilient to insults. Truth be told, it hurts a lot. I honestly hate putting up this facade, but it's all I have. I wouldn't have any power if I was a nice person at school.
It really sucks, but that's the reality. Life isn't the fairytale you read about when you're five. It's cruel and sadistic.
No one will be there for you, except for you and your parents. You can't trust anyone.

Chris's POV
I can't believe I just did that to her. That was such a low blow. I'm so ashamed of myself. How could I do that to her?
Sure I was mad, but that was no excuse to be so mean to her, in front of everyone.
"May I be excused Mrs.Sullivan?" She looks at me with a understanding look and slowly nods her head. I grab our stuff and run out.
Where would she go?
I started looking in the library. She wasn't there. I go outside next. She's sitting down at one of the tables, balling her eyes out. Chase is by her side, whimpering with his face in her lap consolingly. I start walking towards them and her head shoots up.
"Don't you dare come near me!" She screams angrily. Chase goes into warrior mode and growls at me.
Damn. Even her dog hates me.
"I'm so sorry Veronica. I don't know what I was thinking. It was the worst thing I've ever done. I'll never do it again! I feel terrible about it." I let out sadly. She wipes her tears harshly and glares at me.
"You're right about one thing. I'm an evil person. That's why you said those hateful words to me, right? I wasn't always like this, you know. I used to be the nice girl that did everything right..." She trails off.
What is she talking about?
"What do you mean? You're not an evil person at all. I just got angry and I took it out on you. Don't think for a second that you're a terrible person because you're not. You're amazing and always will be." I say sincerely.
She looks at me in surprise. I think I see a look of adoration in her eyes.
"You think I'm amazing?" She says in disbelief. I smile. "Of course I do. You're smart and caring. You don't show it much, but I can tell there's a freak in you somewhere waiting to be unleashed." She laughs at that. "You're also drop dead gorgeous. I mean Lord Jesus help me." She blushes deeply.
"Oh, you're just saying that." She smiles lightly. I shake my head.
"No. I mean it, Veronica. You are the best person I've ever met. I know we haven't known each other long, but I feel like I've known you forever. Please believe me when I tell you that you're amazing." I pick up her hand and kiss it softly, my lips lingering. She blushes again.
She looks deep into my eyes and I swear she's looking right into my soul. "Thank you Chris, for everything." She surprises me with a warm hug. I hug her back softly. "It's nothing, just know that I'm so sorry and I'll always be here for you, I promise." She smiles and kisses my cheek. I feel my smile grow enormous.
"Call me Ronica now. I think you've earned it." She smirks slyly. "Okay Ronica." She smiles.
That smile is gonna be the death of me.

Veronica's POV
I was really surprised when Chris apologized to me. I know he's a goody two shoes, but I didn't expect this. It means a lot to me that he felt guilty and sincerely apologized.
We've been sitting at this table for a while now, talking about everything and nothing at the same time. He's just such an affable person. I wish I had half his charm.
"Ronica?" He looks at me questioningly. "Oh sorry, I'm a little tired." I try to play it off. He smirks. "Sure you are." "Oh shut up. You're lucky to be sitting here with me after that show you put on in there." I point to the school. He narrows his eyes and smiles.
"You're right, I am very luck to be here with you." He whispers in my ear flirtatiously, brushing his lips against my ear. I blush again.
Damn it, why does he have to be so darn cute?
"What the hell is going on here!" Justin storms towards us.
Here we go.
"Calm down, Justin. We were just talking. No need to go all crazy." I get up and attempt to push him away from Chris. It just makes him even angrier. "Get off me!" He pushes me away roughly. "Ahh!" I fall to the ground. Chase goes nuts and barks at Justin ferociously. "Oh shut up you stupid mutt. I'll give you something to bark about..." That's all he got out before Chris knocked him out cold.
"Are you okay?" Chris kneels next to me, concern written on his face. I smile. "Yeah, I think I'm.. Oww!" I look at Chase licking a scrape on my knee. It's not bad, but it's not small either.
"Let's get you on the bench." He picks me up bridal style. "Why thank you Chris, but I can walk." He shakes his head. "If you walk it will cause more blood to pour out of the scrape. Trust me, I'm certified in first aid training." He lowers me down gently. I face palm my forehead.
"Oh yeah, I forgot that your dad's a doctor." He laughs. He gets out his first aid kit from his bag. "You know, I work at the hospital too." He moves my leg on his lap and starts cleaning it. "Yeah, but aren't you just a receptionist?" I ask. He shakes his head. "I'm a standby guy. I do any job they need me to do, except for serious operations. That's my dad's specialty." He sprays my cut with that antiseptic spray that stings.
"Ahh! Why'd you do that?" I ask frustrated. He starts cracking up.
"I had to do it when you were distracted. If you knew what I was doing you'd refuse it, anticipating discomfort. Then you'd die of infection." He says smoothly. "You're very convincing, you know that?" He smirks. "It's a part of medicine. You have to be sneaky with your treatment tactics. It makes it easier for you and the patient." He finishes cleaning it and puts a pink band-aid on it.
"Alright, you're all set. I suggest you don't fall anytime soon." He says in a deep doctors voice. I laugh. "I'll try doc." "You better." He winks. I shove him playfully.
Oh gosh. Why does he have to be so charming?

Teenfikce"Why don't you just tell me what's wrong?!" I scream at him. He stops in his tracks and turns around. "Because I LOVE YOU, OKAY!" my throat goes dry. "What?" He comes up to me. We're so close in proximity I can feel his heartbeat. "I love you Veroni...
