"Rosemary Christina Forest, wake up immediately! You have school today!", my mum shouted from downstairs. I groaned like a goat getting its haircut but got up to brush my teeth and start combing my very long wavy hair. I made a ponytail but still my hair were reaching my waist. I grinned at the mirror and put a little make-up on. I wore a tank top t-shirt with my jean pants and some Toms and then I put on my leather jacket.

I left the house after eating breakfast and headed for the bus station to wait for Lisa. A few minutes past when I saw some guys standing on the other side of the street talking to each other and looking at me for what seemed like ages. They were probably hobos judging by their appearance. The most of them were smoking and one was talking on the phone. I wasn't scared. What could they do to me..right? But again, I was alone at the bus station and there weren't any cars on the street. No, this is not right. I'm not going to judge everything by the outside. Peter wasn't dangerous after all. Peter. I actually couldn't stop thinking about yesterday. He seemed very weird that's for sure.

A sigh escaped my mouth when I saw Lisa ten minutes later coming with her bag on her shoulder. 

"Hey, what took you so long?", I said to her after greeting her.

"Sorry, not a morning person.",  grimaced. "I'm sorry, leaving you here alone with these pimps is not very polite. Plus, you don't know the area. What if something happen to you?", she wondered out loud.

"I doubt that. I'll be fine.", I assured her.

We arrived at school and we saw the other guys talking and laughing so we went to join them.

"Are you sure you'll be okay being around hobos?", Lisa asked me when we finally sat with the group and I gave her a glare as everyone stopped what they did and looked at us. 

"I'll be fine. Besides, I met one of them yesterday, he was actually cool", I smiled trying to seem convincing but Tyler tensed and widened his eyes.

"What are you talking about? Who?", with that said all the eyes were on me. Greeat.

"Um..His name is Peter. I don't know a lot about him though.", I told him honestly. There was an awkward silence after I said his name and everyone looked at Tyler. 

"You know what, It doesn't even matter because you won't see him again. Hobos are dangerous, if anyone approaches you again tell us.", he finally said still tensed. Jesus relax, it's not like we're in a war or something, we are just kids for god's sake.

I didn't continue the conversation as the bell rang signalling it was time for our next class. The whole day I kept thinking about Peter and why I couldn't see him again. I know he is weird but he wouldn't hurt me, would he? First class though seemed like the safest choice so I had to stick with them. 


 In the afternoon my mum sent me to buy milk and chocolates, so I went to the nearby shop and bought the necessary. As I was going back I caught a figure at the corner of my eye running. I looked better and I recognized his face, Peter. I tried to catch up with him but he left pretty quickly. I tried a different subway and I finally saw him walking but when his eyes met mine he stopped and turn around to walk away.

"Hey! Wait.", I yelled catching his arm when when I noticed two bruises on his face. My eyes widened at the sight. He looked down so I couldn't see his bruises. He didn't reply so I asked him again. "Oh, so you're not talking to me?", I said confused and then his eyes filled with anger as he clenched his fist harder.

"You made it clear that you don't want any relation with me, so what else do you want, huh? Just leave me alone and go to your perfect life. ", he said and it was easy to see the the was trying to control his anger. He started walking away but I blocked him.

"Wait, who did this to you?", I asked him terrified about the answer, trying not to sound really panicked but my heart was beating so fast that I was sure it would break my chest.

"Don't pretend that you don't know anything! He told me to stay away from you. Tyler threatened me not to touch you again!", he said angrily. I was surprised with his behavior because the last time I saw him was very calm and relaxed. I couldn't imagine him being angry like this.

"Tyler would never do that!", I stated.

"Oh yeah? Well, go ask him. You obviously don't know anything about him!", he said and there was a long pause until I spoke.

"Shall we go somewhere to talk about it?", I asked him hesitated.

When we got into a coffee shop he was okay, I guess. Of course he was better than before. We sat on a table and we ordered. It seemed that I would be the one who will talk first so I started.

"So, are you okay now?", I asked him and gave him a crooked smile.

"I guess", he said with a long face.

"I swear I didn't know.", I said with a pity look written on my face. So, can you tell me what happened?"
