Jacobs POV
*ring*
Finally, I get to leave this horrible place! I walk out of the locker room (because I had gym class) and rush to my locker. I get there, and see Mark, Brandon, and a ton of their other friends.

"Excuse me." I say, and try to squeeze though.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Brandon says, and everyone around laughs. Very quickly, a crowd gathers around us.

"Look, I don't wanna fight I just wanna get to-"

"I don't wanna fight ehh!" He says, mimicking me. Everyone starts laughing, and I can feel my cheeks and ears heat up.

"Awe, his elf ears are heating up!" Mark says. By now everyone has bursted out laughing. I grab my backpack, and slip it over my shoulder. I start to walk away, but I feel myself get pinned up against my locker.

"Hey! Let me go!" I say, trying to wiggle my way out.

"Break up with her." Brandon whispered in my ear, and it sent chills down my spine.

"Why would I do that." I say, whispering though my teeth. Why would I break up with her? I'm not going to, She's my girl, and I'm not letting this jerk take that away from me.

"Hey man, maybe you should just let him go." I hear someone say. Connor comes slowly walking over, and Brandon glares at him.

"Why." He says.

"Uh- because you don't deserve Grace. She doesn't want you." Connor says to Brandon, and everyone ohhs and ahhs.

"Roasted!" People shout. I look around, and Brandon is pissed as hell. All of a sudden, I see his fist ball up. He punches me right in the jaw.

"What the hell man?!" I say, and look straight at him.

"I said break up with her." He says, gritting his teeth.

"No. Im Not going to." I say, and Brandon looks at his friends.

"C'mon guys. We will get him tomorrow." Brandon says, and they all go except Mark. They all run away, and the groups of people start walking out of the school as well. I look at Mark.

"Why are you here?" I say, and he looks at me.

"Because I feel bad." He says, And runs away. I stand there, in shock. I pick up my phone, and see I had a text from Grace.

"Hi. Sorry I'm not at school, I will tell you why later." The text message reads. I decide to text her back.

"It's ok! I'll see you after school, if you still wanna hang out?" I text back. She doesn't reply back, so I start walking outside. I see my moms car, so I hop in.

"Hi sweetie! How was school?" She says, looking down at her phone. She looks up at me, and her facial expression is frightening.

"Jacob! What happened?" She says, touching where Brandon punched me in the jaw. I wince at the pain.

"Uh, I uh tripped." I say, then fake smile at her.

"Jacob. Tell me what really is going on. Now." She says, and I look down at my shoes.

"Rolf Jacob Sartorius. Tell me right now." She says, and looks at me with a sincere look in her eyes. I gulp. Time to expose Brandon I think.
