---------------------------------------------------------
Hi, I'm Jackson. I'm 15,turning 16 in July. I don't know how to describe myself, but most call me charming. I'm not to self confident, so I just let it brush off. I am quiet, and only talk to you if I like you. Yeah, I'm a pretty cold being but hey, you never know who you can trust.
This is my first year at High School of American Studies Lehman College AND here in The Bronx. I didn't talk to many people here, just my two best friends and the teacher. I was pretty popular though, but I didn't notice until my friends pointed it out. I didn't really care, though. I'm not social.

I've heard about Alexa. The word got out that she was in the hospital. I've never heard about her until then, so I decided to check her out, see what the fuss was about.

That's when I saw her in the hall on Monday morning. Right then and there I felt a shock travel through my body. I began to sweat. This girl... Something about her was just... Wow.

I've never felt this way for any one before. What was this feeling? I've never felt love before. I've never felt anger. When I was younger, my parents died. They both were caught in a fire at work. I didn't know what was going on when I got sent to a foster care, but when I did, something had shut down inside me. I only let specific people crawl into my life. Other people, on the other hand, I blocked out. I always stayed to myself.
But today, I felt normal. I felt as if this girl has lifted my spirit, gave me life again. I felt of the age my parents had died, 6 years old. Ever since then I've been living with my Aunt and Uncle. She did all this by just the way she looked. I knew she had an amazing personality, the minute I saw her. I knew she was a great person.

I was day dreaming, until I heard a voice scream...

"STOP TRY'NA TOUCH ME AND GET A REAL GIRL FOR ONCE! YOU'RE NOT SLICK, YOU'RE A HOE!" screamed the voice. I snapped out of my day dream, and without thinking, ran to save her.

I saw him trying to grab at her some more so I spoke up. "Yo man leave the girl alone, jerk!" I yelled at him, trying to keep his focus off of Alexa. I knew who this guy was. He was a Softmore, while I was a Freshman. His name was Micheal. He was always trying to touch other women. I thought he was disgusting for his ways.

"Who do you think you're talking to, Freshman?" he asked, glaring at me with an evil smirk spread across his face. "Last time I checked, I was looking directly at you." I mocked.

He jumped at me, getting ready to swing his fist, till I dodged his attack and headed straight for Alexa. I grabbed her by the hand and ran all the way to the court yard, hoping we had lost that guy. I was out of breath, so I bent down to catch my breath again. "Why did you help me? " I heard a voice say. I stood up straight and when I looked back at her, a stream of blood was coming from her nose. My eyes widened.

"I don't think you should worry about that. Instead, worry about your bleeding!" I said, taking her to the nearby water fountain. She washed off her face and I handed her my jacket to dry off with.

"So, Alexa, I'm Jackson. Jackson Abrigo. Nice to finally meet you!" I said with a smile. She looked at me in a odd way, almost like she was thinking.

Oh no, she probably thinks I'm weird now.
