-I'm A Better Me-

One

Marlene's POV

The first day of being a senior in my new school was the hardest. I was called names and cat called all day.

"Slut!" and "Move it, fat-ass!" were common out of the girls. I was a big school but there were so many people the hallways were super crowded.

"Damn girl. Look at that ass." Said a jock that was standing behind me as I stood at my locker.

I turned around, looked him in the eyes, and said, "I'm not interested." I turned back around.

"I am." He said as his hand reached for my butt. He squeezed my ass and I elbowed him right in the ribs and I said, "I am a teenage girl. Not a hooker. Fuck off."

"No." He said as he grabbed my arm with a tight grip.

"You're hurting me," I said calmly.

"Hey, leave her alone," said another guy standing at the lockers.

"Or what tranny? Are you gonna use your hormone muscles to kick my ass?" The jock said. I saw that the jock was distracted so I pulled my arm out of his and the boy punched him right in the nose. He stumbled back and hit his head on the other lockers on the other side of the wall. and I laughed. So did the boy. 

"How's that for hormone muscles?" He said. I laughed again and said, "Talk shit, get hit."

I walked over to the boy and finally got a good look at him. He was a snack. He had dark brown hair and light-green eyes. He had a perfect smile and two lip rings on his bottom lip. He was small but we were about the same height.

"Are you okay?" He asked me. 

"Yeah, thanks for saving me, though."

"No problem. I'm Justin. Are you new?"

"Yeah. I'm Marlene."

"Nice to meet you. Wanna compare schedules?" 

"Sure," I said. He had:

"Um... Explain to me why we have the exact same schedule?" I said.

"I guess the school thought you could use a friend in all your classes. I don't know." He laughed. He had the cutest laugh. The bell rang telling us to get the class so we talked as we walked to Algebra.
