CHAPTER 2

***Kristen's POV***

I told the class I liked someone and they don't know who. Does he like me too. Kristen don't be stupid of course he doesn't you guys just met and he keeps giving you these sad smiles. He hates that you just walked into his life like that. Class starts and Mr. Conner gave us this really big project that is worth so much or our grade. I need to pass it or I fail, I already have a bad grade. That was in English class. I have a "D" in Science and all my other classes.

"Kristen would you be my partner?" This guy ask me, but I look up and it's the guy that said I was "FINE".

"No. I don't think that is good cause I'm a straight A student and you're a straight F student." I lie and walk away from him and head towards Marcel.

"Do you want to be my partner for the project? If not I understand cause you have someone else to be your partner." I say and keep my head down not wanting to look him in the eyes.

"I would love to Kristen to be honest I usually get stuck with some jock that wasn't quick enough to go to his buddies and end up doing the project on my own." He says to me. I smile and look at him and see he has a black eye.

"Marcel who did this to you? When did this happen cause you didn't have it this morning." I say worried and cuffing his cheek in my hand.

"I-its n-n-no-nothing promise." he says and I know he is lying. I can't believe someone gave his a b lack eye during class and the teacher didn't notice. I wish there was something I could do. That's when I notice that one boy giving Marcel this evil look and I get the feeling he did it.

"Marcel was it that douche that asked if I was single? Could you tell me please cause I want to know Cel." I ask him and feel a tear touch my hand that is on my face and I know he is trying not to cry and he nods. "The douche's name is John. Don't let him know that you we called him that or this eye will get worse and you'll be covered in bruises and I can't have you looking like me." He says and takes my hand off of his face. I look at him sadly taking a seat next to him. I place my elbows on the counter and put my face in my hands. I feel a hand on my back and rubbing circles on it.

"I'm going to be fine. Trust me this isn't my first black eye. Everything will get better I promise." He says and I smile at him and give him a hug.

I get up and walk to John and tap his shoulder a few times. He turns around and smiles. "I see you came back fo..." He fell to the floor and the class was silent and starring at me "Hurt Marcel again and it will be worse than that." I say and walk away. He was covering his eye and his mouth wide open.

****Marcel's POV***

She punched John no one has ever done that. I was shocked everyone was. She came back and I was scared that she was going to hit me too so I covered my head. "What are you doing Cel?" she giggles. "I'm scared your going to hit me too. So I'm protecting myself." I say and look at her. She smiles and bites her bottom lip. I just stare at her for a while before Mr. Conner walks in and sees John on the floor.

"WHAT HAPPENED IN HERE?" He yells and everyone jumps and points at us. Mr. Conner walks over and sees my black eye. "WHICH ONE OF YOU DID THIS CAUSE I'M NOT HAVING VIOLENCE IN MY CLASS." He yells "WELL ITS NOT THE FIRST TIME VIOLENCE HAS HAPPENED IN YOUR CLASS. LOOK AT MARCEL IT'S NOT JUST MAGIC THAT HE HAS A BLACKEYE IT WAS JOHN WHO PUNCHED HIM. SO I REPAID THE FAVOR AND GAVE HIM ONE." She yelled back and everyone look at her and the teacher.

"Is this true Marcel have you been bullied by John?". He asked me looking at me. I nodded and looked down knowing I was going to get it later on today. "Marcel why haven't you told me before I could have fixed this problem before it got out of hand? UGH Marcel you have to go to the principal's office and your going to report this." He said to me. I shook my head not letting him look at me, not letting anyone look at me and then the bell rang signaling time to go to the next class.
