Chapter 1: He's as Scary as a Puppy.

"Hello what's your name? You just thought of it didn't you? Oh sorry I didn't mean to barge into your thoughts that way... By the way your names cute.

Well I'll tell you about me, I am... You're already getting bored aren't you? You can stop reading this and walk away from this before you become broken and mad.

Oh you're going to stay? Okay, I am Asher Quinn Reed. I am exactly 6'3" and yes I am a guy.

I have a little sister who's turning 4 in three months but might not make it... oops sorry I shouldn't have said that. But don't worry I think she's getting better.

"Well come on, here's your schedule for A-days and B-days. Here is my best friend Shantrin Camron Burwells. You can call him Shanti if you want. His hair is in fact goldish brown but yesterday he dyed the tips blue." Asher stops talking when Shanti walks over.

"Hi, I'm Shanti. You must be the new girl right?" Asher looks at me then Shanti. "Yep this is her, well I gotta go to A1... But Shanti you have first period with her so could you take her?" Shanti rolls his eyes.

"Of course, I wouldn't want lovers at first sight to be taken away from each other but only to see each other later." He bats his eyes at Asher for effect.

Asher rolls his eyes and pats Shanti on the shoulder then leaves. Shanti looks at me, his gaze feels like he's glaring into my soul... But then he gives me this big toothy grin.

"Come on, the bells gonna ring in a few minutes." He shoulders his backpack and starts walking. I quickly follow when someone gently grabs my shoulder, I reluctantly turn to see who.

Asher sheepishly puts his arm down. "Um... oh I forgot what I was gonna tell you but um... I guess watch out for some jocks, they are the real jerks here." He turns and walks away.

Shanti waves his hand in front of my face. "Come on! We're going to be late if you don't hurry up!" He literally drags me to our first class.

First class is History with Mr.Crispen. It starts out okay because of his humor but also the fact that we don't ever have homework unless we have subs.

Looking around I see Shanti do a small wave to me. A girl next to me waves back to him. He and I burst out laughing earning a detention from the teacher. Thanks Shanti.

The bell rings. "Shanti and the new girl please come to the front." Mr.Crispen's face is straight but the sides of his mouth are slightly turned. Jerk.

Shanti walks to the front as I'm slowly getting up from my chair. As I'm walking to the front, I can feel everyone's eyes on me.

Shanti smiles at me... I see the foot before I trip. On the ground I turn to see who tripped me, a blond jock with a bomber jacket and a football in his hand smirks down at me.

But what really ticked me off is what he said directly at me: "How ya doin sugar?" Suddenly picked up to my feet and guided to the front. Shanti. His face is fuming with anger but doesn't say anything. He's as scary as a puppy.

There was so much tension in the room, no one dared to make the slightest bit of sound. Even the teacher wasn't talking.

"Nevermind you don't have any detention anymore, I see you're just helping the new girl. You may leave class early now." Shanti gives Mr.Crispen a fake smile.

I feel something dripping down my face. Touching it I feel queasy already before seeing it. Blood...

Shanti grabs our backpacks and pulls my arm to the exit door. The jock yells something but before I can hear what he said Shanti puts his hands over my ears.
