Gina's POV
It's Halloween and I really don't want to leave the house.
🔻At school🔻
'Hey Gina'
'Hi'
I just really want to be by myself today.
'Are you okay?'
Does it look like Im okay?
'Yeah I'm fine just really excited for tonight'
NOT
'Haha I know right so am I'
🔻In English🔻
Instead if sitting in my usual seat I sat by myself.
'Outta my seat nerd'
Great. Just great. Just what I needed today too.
'I'm only going to sit here today plus if you didn't notice there are plenary of seats left empty in the classroom'
'You don't get it do you nerd? I said outta my seat'
'Its not your seat. It doesn't have your name on it oh and if you want me to move then you have I make me'
'Fine with me. Your just sitting over here because you know Darcy doesn't like you because your a nerd'
And with that I stand up and I have tears in my eyes and I run out of the classroom before Darcy could see me cry, I turn around and say;
'You really know how to make someone else's life more miserable than what it already is'
By that time I had tears streaming down my face and without looking back I run out of the classroom for real this time but for some reason I turn back ever so slightly just up see Darcy stand up out of his seat and punch Mick in the face and in no time he's running out the door after me.
I turn a corner and then another until I end up sitting on the ground hugging my knees to my chest as I cry. I manage to look up and see Darcy looking down at me while he sits somewhat uncomfortable close to me.

Darcy's POV
I've never seen Gina so upset before. It makes me sad and somewhat sick in my stomach knowing that it's in some way my fault. Right now I'm beyond pissed at Mick right now. So pissed that I get up out of my seat and punch him square in the face not giving a damn about how much trouble I'll be in. I turn to see Gina watching me as I hit Mick then she ran off. Me being me I ran after her. She ran faster than I was but I was watching where she was headed. Just as I was about to grab her arm she turned a corner and disappear. I knew she turned another corner so I just kept following. When I turned the corner I looked down to see her huddled up crying her eyes out. I sat down and after a minute or so se looked up at me and I was still looking at her. I hate what Mick had said to her about me not liking her because that wasn't true. I like Gina. I like her a a lot actually. I just don't know how to tell her. To comfort her a bit better I put my arm around her.
'Gina, please stop crying. I want you to listen to me. What Mick said wasn't true. And your not a nerd.'
'Why are you my friend? Your so nice and caring and I'm just a mess. I'm just a freak.'
'Hey don't talk like that'
'What I'm just telling the truth'
'Hey listen to me, you are neither a nerd, a mess and you are defiantly not a freak. What nick said was untrue because i..umm..I like you.' The last part I whispered, hoping she wouldn't here me. What the hell are you doing Darcy. You just ruined your friendship. I look down at Gina and she's looking at her wrist so I follow her gaze to see what's so fascinating about her wrist and what I see is somewhat shocking. I couldn't help but say something. At that point I just wanted to grab her writs and kiss her scars and make her promise to stop. I know clichè and cheesy right? I took her wrist in my hands and started to speak.
'Gina..I-' I was cut of by her saying;
'Darcy don't. I don't want your sympathy'
I still had her arm in my hand. Looking at it this close you can tell that some scars are old while some are relatively new. With no hesitation I moved her wrist to my mouth and carefully kissed it. I turned to her: 'Gina I..I want to promise me that you'll..that you'll stop. Just please..stop.' She started crying again and I brought her into a hug and she looked up at me and smiled at me with a really small smile but I could still see the sadness and hurt in her eyes.
'Okay I..I promise' she again stated crying while I still had my arms wrapped around her in a hug. While her head rested on my chest I put rested my chin on top of her head. We stayed like this until she calmed down and stopped crying. Eventually the school bell rang.
