New Girl With A Secret

Lucky Day?

Marcel's POV

"H-H-Harry please stop" I said. He pushed me against the lockers, while the friends behind him laughed, and cheered. I felt a punch. I always got beat up by either my brother and his friends, or the rest of the kids in school. I'm not popular, and I literally have no friends.

"Shut up" He screamed. He punched me again. I dropped to the floor, and put my head in my hands as him and his friends kicked me all over. When they were finished, they went to there classrooms. I just sat there trying to get up. I groaned, and sat back down. I was still bruised from yesterday, and all the rest of the days. I was late for class, other times I could make it about two minutes before the bell, but the bell went off five minutes ago. I'm so screwed. I tried to get up again, but a sharp pain shot threw my stomach. I groaned. I felt a few tears roll down my cheeks. I sniffled.

"Are you okay?" I heard a sweet voice ask behind me.

"Yeah I'm fine" I said trying to get up, but just sat back down, out of breath.

"No your not" She walked over to me. She looked at me, wide eyed.

"Oh my god! What happened?" There was something in her voice I haven't heard in a while. She actually cared. I looked at her, wide eyed.

"Did I do something wrong?" She asked "Did I get to personal?" She bit her lip "I'm sorry."

"No its ok" I assured her.

"Do you want help?" She asked.

"It's ok, I got" I tried to get up, but I couldn't move anymore. I was too weak.

"Hope you don't mind" She dropped her stuff, and got closer "But I'm going to help you anyway."

I laughed a little. She helped me up. We walked towards the nurses office. I told the nurse what happened. The girl just looked at me, wide eyed, but surprisingly, she stayed in the room with me, and waited until I was cleaned up, and could move. It was raining really hard. I saw lightning strike, and the power went out. The nurse left the room to go to the principles office.

"So" She said breaking the silence "You get beat up?"

"Um yeah, by my brother, his friends, and the rest of the school."

"Wow, I'm so sorry" She said.

"You know whats weird?" I asked her.

"What?" She said.

"We don't know each others names. You've already helped me, and said way to many "I'm sorry's"."

She giggled "Sorr-, I mean. Ok I have no idea what I mean" We started laughing. The power turned back on, so I knew the nurse would be back soon, but I didn't care.

"So what's your name?" I asked her.

"Oh yeah, sorry I should have introduced myself. I'm Chloe, the new girl, and you are?"

"I'm Marcel, the nerd."

"You don't seem like a nerd. You seem pretty cool, if I do say so myself."

"Thanks" I said. Man she is cute. The nurse came back in.

"You could leave now" The nurse said. We walked out. I asked Chloe for her schedule. Turns out we have all the same classes, so someone I can talk to, and not get beat up with, or without telling them the answer to the problem. Our next class was algebra.

I walked in, and everybody turned to me. I moved out of the way, and everybody saw Chloe. They looked at us back, and forth. I didn't realize we were holding hands, until I saw everybody look down. I thought I wet myself for a second. Chloe seemed to notice too, but didn't move her hand. I walked over to my seat at the back. She sat right next to me. Maybe she is my friend now? Nobody was even paying attention to the teacher, they were focused on Chloe and I. Bell rang and Harry walked over to us.
