Secretive (boy×girl)

Chapter One: New Student

Faith was in the back of the class, as usual, waiting for the teacher to start the lesson. The teacher, Mr. Dunn stood up, walking to the door and opening it. He announced, "Good morning, class! Today, I would like to welcome our new student, Malcolm!" he opens the door. A tall boy with curly black hair and blue eyes walks in the classroom. Faith looks up to see him, then blushes. She thinks; Wow! He's really cute! Malcolm introduces himself, "Hi,   I'm Malcolm, pleasure to meet you all." Mr. Dunn assigns him his seat, which is next to Faith's. She looks at him and says quietly, "H-Hello..." and Malcolm replies with a warm smile, "Hi, I'm Malcolm, and you are?" She smiles softly. "I'm Faith." Mr. Dunn starts passing out the the homework for the day, then the bell rings. Faith stands up, pushing her chair in and getting her books, quietly. Malcolm goes to her and asks, "Hey, want to hang out sometime?" Her automatic response would be, Sure! But she didn't want him seeing her scars. Faith is suicidal, cutting up and down her arms and legs and taking medication to keep away her depression. So, she replies, "I'm not really sure, but maybe." she gives him a small smile before exiting the classroom. She walks to her locker, leading to an awaiting Bella.

Bella, a rich, beautiful young girl, bullies Faith. She beats her occasionally and makes fun of her a lot. "Hey faggot, what are ya up to?" Bella asks, laughing. Faith doesn't answer and opens her locker. "No reply huh? Well how about this," she says, shoving Faith into her locker. "You stay in there so no one can hear you!" Bella slams the locker door and walks away, laughing. Faith sits in the cold school locker. Is this what I really want? She asks herself, almost starting to cry.

A few minutes later, Malcolm was walking down the hall from his locker and hears quiet sobbing from a locker. He goes up to it and whispers, "Hello?" but there was no reply. Faith waited a few minutes, wanting him to go away but she finally answered. "H-Hi..." He was surprised hearing Faith's voice, then asks, "Do you need help? What's your combination for your lock?" She replies, "27, 14, 32." He quickly puts in the code and opens the locker, helping her out. "Are you ok? What happened?" She looks down, then answers. "No, I'm being bullied..." She thinks, Shit! I should've said nothing! Malcolm looked at her, his bright blue eyes shining. "It's ok, I won't tell anyone." Faith gave a small smile and blushed. Malcolm smiled back and asked, "Ready to go to second period? I promise I'll protect you." and Faith replied with a small nod and walked with him to their next class. Bella saw all of this and jealously scowled. "He will be mine..." she whispers to herself, walking to second period.
