(Hayes' P.O.V.)

I slowly walked up to her, still trying to figure out what I was going to say. Nervously I sat down next to her and put my arm around her. She looked up for a split second and quickly put her head back into her knees. I stuttered and said "H-Hey are you okay..." It took her a couple of seconds but she lifted her head up, not looking at me, but she replied...

"Why don't you j-just walk away l-like every one else."

"why? why, because a girl like you shouldn't be crying." "Plus I am not like everyone else." I said pulling her closer. She tried to pull away but I wouldn't let her. I could just feel her tensing up in pain, I loosened my grip and looked down at her, her eyes were closed tightly,single tears were running down her beautiful face,she had few pimples on her face,the thing that caught my eyes was a bruise under her left eye. She interrupted my thoughts.

"What are you looking at," she questioned.

"Oh-oh nothing," I said looking away, while my cheeks heated up.

"I see..." she said laughing to herself. Her laugh was so cute. 

Wait hold up, what I am saying, I have only known this girl for barely five minutes,I don't even know her name,but she is so beautiful, but I barely even know her! I need to fix this I mean she is crying and what about the bruise on her face. I looked at the bruise again.

(Payton's P.O.V)

  I noticed that the boy was looking at me, not just at me but at my left eye. There was a worried look on his face like he was questioning 'should I ask her about the bruse' or 'should I just ignore it'. So I answered it for him...

"I ran into a pole..."I said

"It must have been a pretty big pole," he replied, not convinced.

"Yeah it was..."

(A/N: And yes, I got this from the Karate Kid with Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan.)

He looked me in the eyes and said "You're lying I can tell." I got nervous and my cheeks started to get really hot.

"Just tell me what happened, please" He begged.

"Why, should I tell you, I don't even know your name and vise versa." I snapped

"My name is-" He was interrupted by another boy running towards us. The boy looked older maybe 15 or 16, he had dark brown hair that was quiffed with what looked like a natural blonde streak in his hair, and had crystal blue eyes just like Hayes.

(Hayes' P.O.V.)

"HAYES?" my brother screamed. 

"Nash....w-what are you doing?" I questioned, standing up.

"Going to school, just like you and your little friend here should be," He said giving me a look. I totally forgot about school...shoot.

"Oh, right, school..." I trailed off and looking down at my feet.

"Yeah that building filled with teachers,homework, and other bull-crap," He said.

I looked down at the girl I was just sitting next to and she started laughing at Nash's joke. I rolled my eyes and extended my hand out to help her up. She grabbed my hand and winced as she got up. I could tell that she was hurt, really hurt. I looked at Nash and he looked at me and he mouthed 'is she okay?', I shrugged my shoulders. Then, we were off to school.
