His Angel [Discontinued]

Sorry About Your Butt

Darius's POV

(Note: The majority of this book will actually be in Winnie's POV, but I feel it's necessary to occasionally see everything from the guy's POV)
------------------

My fists clenched and my cheeks reddened in embarrassment as two guys dumped the contents of my backpack all over the hallway floor.

"Hey fatso! Why are you such a nerd?" Adam, the resident bullying jock at my school, laughed. I bent down to pick up my stuff when he kicked me in the side.

I groaned and tipped over, but I was used to it. "Why don't you just go die in a hole, freak?!" The taunts continued as the crowd around me threw more insults and a couple guys kicked me again.

I felt tears well up in my eyes, but I fought them back. I didn't need my bullies having more to tease me about.

After more of this a little voice cut through the crowd, "Knock it off! Get away from him!" I thought I was hallucinating until I noticed the kicking stop.

I looked up just in time to see a small fist fly through the air hitting Adam square in the nose. A collective gasp spread through the group, before the bell rang causing them to scatter.

I continued to stare at my angel, the girl who had rescued me and punched a guy in the face in the same two seconds. Her hair was a dark blonde and her pale skin was tinted pink.

"I can't believe I just hit him! That was my first time punching anyone." She mumbled to herself as she picked up my things. When she was finished I was still laying on the ground, just staring at this beautiful, wonderful girl who saved me.

"I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Winnie!" She held her hand out for me and I took it into my large sweaty one. She ignored the obvious nastiness of my hand and shook it while helping me up.

"I-I'm Darius." I said trying to keep my cool (not that I was kidding anyone) as she tried to pull me up. She suddenly yelped and dropped me as the final warning bell rang. I got up myself and rubbed my butt to alleviate the pain from hitting the floor.

As she ran down the hall she turned to me and shouted, "See you soon, Darius! And sorry about your butt!"

That was the day that I fell head over heels in love with Winnie Silver.

She was suspended the week after for hitting Adam, but the next time I saw her she smiled at me and said that she was just happy to be able to stick it to Adam.

Over the next year she became my only friend. I wasn't her best friend, but she was mine. People didn't stop messing with me, but Winnie always defended me. In a way I felt like a wimp for needing a girl to protect me, but it was also proof that Winnie cared about me.

Then just as freshmen year was about to start my mom got a new job. I moved away but not before confessing to Winnie... Okay, it was more like I told her that I was in love with her then I ran away as fast as my stubby legs could take me.

I regret not staying and hearing her answer, but it wouldn't have changed my feeling for her now. I'm coming back and this time I will be the one saving and protecting Winnie.
