" Hey ___ ! Did you see that tall new guy ? " Mila asked me while I was on the phone with my boyfriend,  Jackson.

" Erm, no? Is it important I see him ? "
" Well, yes!! I heard he plays good in basketball ! "
" How would you even know that? You're not from the same school as him! " increasing my tone to Mila but calmed quick since Jackson was still on the line.
" I heard the teachers talking about it, don't blame me! He is really good looking! I think I might spend my whole weekend investigating him!!! " Mila fangirled.
 
Opened my mouth to reply my crazy best friend but my eye took a glance of the guy walking towards my way.

" Hmm I'm sorry but I'm new here and I think i'm lost ? " , New Guy pointed out.
He is really good looking.. NOPE NOPE JACKSON! J-A-C-K-S-O-N !  I thought to myself , then I realised it's been a minute of not answering him.

" Here, give me your schedule. Let me help you . " I smiled as he gave me his schedule.
" I'm Kris btw " , he said in a shy tone.
" I'm ___ ! " I gave out my hand to give a warm welcome.
Then I continued, " Well, you see.. The first period for you today is Language and according to that schedule, I see you took French? Same here! So hey, let's walk together ? " I asked him.

Kris seemed like he wasn't comfortable to walk with me but it's the least I could do to help him since he's just new here.

While we were walking,  Jackson walked towards us.

" Cheating? " I was really shocked by Jackson's assumption.
" Excuse me ? I'm your girlfriend ! " On the verge of tears but I wouldn't show how weak I was.
" Hey, it's okay, I think I can manage . " Kris said and he gave a slight smile to me.
" Get away from her. You're still a kid eh? " Jackson increases his tone which made me put my hand to his chest to calm himself.

Kris didn't want to be involve, obviously. So, he decided to just go on to class but before he could take atleast 5 steps, Jackson pushed him from the back and Kris fell to the ground , his books everywhere.

I need to help him but I couldn't . I didn't want Jackson to hurt him more if he sees me being near to Kris.

Kris had a bleeding lip but wiped it off as soon as he got up . Without fighting back, he continued his walk to class.

Jackson called out to him " FREAK! "

" Jackson can you not? "
" So I guess you're siding him now ? " Jackson looked at me as if I was at fault.
" I'm not siding anyone but what you did was wrong, he was new! I was just helping him to class! What on earth made you think I was cheating? I was just walking with him! It's not like we were on a date behind your back or something! Jackson please GROW UP!! " I stormed away leaving him bewildered.

When I reached class, I saw a few guys picking on Kris from a different table he was.

" Kris? "
" Hey, are you sitting here ? I could change seats. You don't have to worry , I - "
" Kris, no it's okay, Jackson is not here. He's a year older so his classes are different " , I smiled and without realising my hand was already brushing the blood from his lip .
" Oh.. umm.. " Kris stopped me, gently pushing my hand away.
" ___, it's okay, it's not bleeding terribly. " he smiled.

I felt bad . Felt the need to owe him.

" Hey Kris ? "
" Yea? "
" Let's go for lunch tomorrow ? "
He seemed puzzled. " Hmm? .. Jacks - "
" No, I feel the need to owe you. First day and you get beaten up and being picked on? C'mon. Let me treat you lunch ? "
" Hmm.. I have stuffs to do tomorrow, how about next time ? " He smiled slightly and I replied with a smile as well.

After class... I got a text from Jackson and Mila.

Jackson - Meet me at our table in the canteen.
Mila - Jackson's so mad. What happened ??


Well hopefully , things work out fine.
