Cierra's POV
"Ew, it's dumpster trash Cierra."
"Kate, just stop."
"What are you gonna do? Run to your mommy? Oh wait, you don't have one."
Kate smirks and laughs to her friends.
Kate and her trashy friends have been bullying me since I transferred to school in freshman year. I usually ignore it but she still goes on. But this time, she really hurt me.
Since my mom died from cancer when I was 15, my life has been a mess. My dad's drug and alcohol addiction does not help either. It's only up to me to take care of my little brother and me.
I try to blink back the tears but the memories of my mom dance around in my head. I miss her so much. Soon the tears become a waterfall and they roll down my cheek, one by one.
She goes back to insulting me and I stand there helpless.
"Hey Kate! Stop bullying her!"
I turn and I see a very attractive boy in a flannel and jeans. I try to wipe my tears away and stand a bit taller.
"Ugh, whatever loser. You're boring anyway."
She strides off with her Gucci bag and heels.
"Are you ok?"
The boy looks at me with a worried expression.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"C'mon, follow me."
We walk towards the library and step in. It's deserted. We sit at a table.
He looks at me with his light brown eyes.
"Who are you anyways?" I ask with a slight smile.
"I'm Shawn." He smiles with his pearly whites.
"Why'd you help me? No one ever does. They just watch."
" Well, you looked like a damsel in distress."
" Then I guess you're my knight in armor.....my Prince Charming." I say with a slight giggle.
" I guess I am." He replies back with a playful smile.
We slowly get closer to each other and finally, our lips crash together.
