Corey's POV

I flung the door open and grab Bradley's collar, pulling him back against the wall. He flashes me that stupid smile of his, "Ah you caught me... Hey Rowan." Rowan was standing at the doorway and came in to help Sabrina up who was shaken. Full of anger I push him against the wall harder, "Woah tough guy." "Shut up, what were you trying to do dickhead?" I look at him unforgivingly. "Why do you care Fogelmanis?" He pushes me out the room into the hallway.

"Trying to act tough, I see. The thing is Corey you can get any girl you want but really you're just an insecure tw-" I punch him across the face, he stumbles back and shakes his head. He does a runner up and hits me against the lockers. "What's wrong Corey? Backing down now?" I spot Sabrina who emerged with Rowan. I look at Bradley straight in the eyes, "Maybe you're still upset that Rowan chose Peyton and not you." His grip on my shirt loosen and I take the chance to switch places, this time he was the one against the lockers. "She chose him over you, too bad."

A strong grip pulled me back from Bradley, it was Peyton. Bradley went for another swing but Peyton grabbed his arm and kept me and Bradley apart, "Bradley go home." he said firmly. Bradley shook off Peyton's grip and walked off fustrated. I go over to Sabrina, "Hey you alright?" She looks at me with calming eyes that was once fearful, "I am now, thank you." She smiles weakly, "Well I should be going home." Rowan hugs her tightly, "Be careful, see you tomorrow." Sabrina gives a small wave and walks away. Rowan leans on Peyton, "Poor girl..."

I watch her leave. I wanted to hug her, to protect her and to tell her it's ok.

Sabrina's POV

When I arrived home, I went straight to my room and laid on my bed processing what had happened. Bradley was going to kiss me, he was about to steal my first kiss. But thankfully Corey was there. I smile to myself. I should repay him, a thank you gift maybe. I got up and grabbed my purse. I walk to the nearest stores, what would he like? I barely know the guy and well obviously he's a guy. So what does guys like? I walk into a small gift store, as I walk in the lady at the counter greeted me. "Excuse me.." "Yes darling?" "Do you know what would be a good thank you gift for a guy?" The lady thinks for awhile and points to a shelf, "Maybe those." I thank her and go over to where she pointed.

Lokai bracelets. They're perfect, I pick a blue one and clear one for him. I guess he'd like them.

I purchase them and headed home. I carefully wrap them and place the package in my bag. Neither of my parents were home so I made my dinner, mac 'n' cheese. After dinner I decided to draw something;

The air the was cool and calming and the sound of the night was comforting. I slowly close my eyes and fell asleep.

The next morning I woke up earlier than yesterday. I hear my mom in the kitchen talking on the phone, I silently went to the bathroom and showered. I rummage through my suitcase to find a good outfit and got dressed;

I sneak up behind my mom, making her jump. I laugh my head off, "Morning Ma." "Ah Sabby, Good Morning to you too." I pick up a strawberry, "Did you come home late last night?" She nods, "Yeah me and your father went out to a business dinner, it was very fancy." I pick up another strawberry, "Will be home when I come back from school?" "Yes." I look at the time, "Shoot mom I can just catch the bus to school." "You sure honey?" "Yes mom I'm not four." I gave my mom a kiss on the cheek and quickly made my way to the bus stop.

After 15 mintues I arrive at school. I hop off the bus and took out the gift out of my bag. I was feeling nervous, giving gifts were never a problem but to a boy... I mean I gave my dad and cousins gifts but they're family. Corey on the other hand is not. I enter the school searching for him. Then I saw him leaning on the lockers talking to two girls. Great, I can't go over there now it will be embarrassing, I'll give it to him when he's alone. I place the gift in my bag and made my way to the girls bathroom.

I look at myself in the mirror and tilt my head to one side. "Why such the long face?" I spun around and there was Rowan, she smiles. "How are doing Sab?" "Alright I guess." She reapplies her lip gloss, "Bradley got suspended." I look at her reflection in the mirror surprised, "Suspended?" She nods, "Yeah... but that doesn't matter. What matters is that you should give that little gift of yours to Corey." I look at her physical appearance, "What?! How'd you know?" "Oh c'mon Sab I saw you." A little embarrassed I fix my hair. "Don't worry he won't reject it, especially from you." "Excuse me?" "Corey has changed a little... I think ever since he saw you he kind of stopped doing his old habits." This seems interesting, "Old habits?" "Yeah, he use to date a lot of girls... however they weren't serious relationships it would only last a few days, the longest probably a week. He is a womaniser, flirts and kiss with girls who were interested in him. But before..." I was so curious, why did she stop talking. I wanted to know more about him. She just grabs my hand led me outside the bathroom. "There he is, he's alone just give it to him." "But..." "Look I'll tell you what I know about him later but now give.it.to.him."

She gives me a little push, I quietly made my way to him with the gift in my hand. "H-Hey Corey." He looks down at me and smiles, "Hey Sabrina." "Umm... this is for you." I hand him the package. He looks at me confused, "What's this for?" "It's a thank you gift...for yesterday. Thank you Corey." I quickly left, my face was burning either from embarrassment or if I was blushing, I have no idea. My heart was beating so fast I thought it was going to burst out of my chest.

Corey's POV

I watch her hurry off, I look at the package in my hand and opened it. When I saw the present she gave me I couldn't stop smiling. I happily wore the Lokai bracelets, I'll cherish them that I know for a fact. She really is something.
