I shake my head stunned this guy had the balls to act this way towards me. Two things I knew for sure. One, I didn't know him, he has me there, but he sure as hell doesn't know me.
"So what? You are just going to threaten me and try to make me afraid? Well guess what you have no idea who the hell I am! So, with that being said take what you have left of your dignity and shove it up you're ass because I'll be the one to end this conversation! You understand?" I asked him like he was 12. He was about to open his mouth AGAIN!

When right before my eyes James was tackled to the floor, I gasped, everyone else laughed like they saw it coming. James on the ground gave a look that scared me, and then the hallway cleared, everyone knew not to mess with him. Except of course the new girl. It must've been one of his best friend because I actually saw James smile! The giant skyscraper like boy helped James to his feet, "Listen man this isn't worth getting suspended again over. Let's ditch and got get some food.. I'm starving!" His friend gave me a look of reassurance, I didn't know how to take that look, so I did a slight nod in his direction to thank him.

Amy sprinted up to me, "Oh my god! I leave you alone for one class, and you are already in a full blown confrontation with the biggest badass in the school!!!" She was panting she must've been panicking for me, she has no idea what I've been through. Otherwise she would've laughed at this and known it was no big deal. Word gets around too quick in this school, I'm finding out. Little did she know that could've probably gotten way worse had it not been for his friend. I wonder what his name is? I look over to where James was, his olive tan skin was a little red on his face from getting worked up, he still looks as though he's stone cold on the inside, emotionless. I then understand from his friend saying, 'getting suspended again' and his built looked as if he worked out everyday. His arms, chest, and stomach were literally perfectly defined. I put it together, that he probably got into plenty of fights in school, and most likely outside of school, but with who I don't think I'll know because no one says anything to him. They are all to scared, if he looks at you the wrong way these people look down.

He stared for a second, right at me, as though he was looking right into my soul. Time paused, my heart started to race. I knew he couldn't see anything. Surely I had gotten good at covering things up by now? He turned back to his friend, playfully punched him in the stomach and they took off for the doors laughing. He bounced back quick! I thought to myself. I took a deep breath of relief, that the moment we just shared was over.

The day went by slowly I kept counting the clock to lunch, I was starving. Lunch time finally rolled around, I was ready to sit alone. Then out of the corner of my eye at his locker, I saw the guy who left with James this morning. I was hesitant, just standing there in the intersection of the hallway debating on walking up to his locker when he saw me. He flagged me to come over, so I did the walk of shame as I was caught looking. I couldn't help but notice he was fairly tan to for living in Washington where it is always raining. His blonde shaggy hair gave me a California feel, have to admit he was pretty damn attractive.

"Look don't take it personally it was a rough morning." He said sorta annoyed that he had to do the apologizing. I came back with a snarky comment of course, "Reallly???? (I said in a really dragged out fake surprised tone) well with that I should go apologize to him!! Right????" (My sarcasm made me laugh a little). "Let's talk more about this over lunch.." he said taking a deep breathe like I wasn't going to let this go. I replied in a annoyed tone, "Nice try, but I'm better off talking to a brick wall, rather than trying to defend myself to one of the biggest asshole I have ever met friend." "Shit! Forgot to tell you my name! It's Gabe," He said laughing, "You're little but damn you're fierce!" This made me blush a little, but I kept my face straight. He then looked me up and down shook his head and said, "Suit yourself, but I'd take his advice and stay away from him he has a temper and you made him tick today for whatever reason, extremely easy, like he wanted to get into it with you. I just don't want to see my friend in anymore trouble than he already is." I replied with a very preppy voice like I just won the conversation, even though it wasn't an argument, when he said 'stay away' "Gladly!" I sounded like a kid.

I walked to lunch quickly, listening to my stomach cry out for food. I saw Amy and my heart sunk. She was sitting with Gabe, and next to Gabe was James, and then there was another giant gorilla with the two of them. I don't know if I'm laying low, but for a small school they have some attractive boys. I felt heat rise up my spine. I took a breath, and walked slowly to the table trying to pass time.

Go vote !!! :)
