I was already exhausted because of morning drama and that stupid detention,In detention class I was just sitting and doing maths, I can't get it straight, and I don't want to get fail in Maths paper.  I think Christopher saw me struggling in it because I saw him looking at me some time.

I started walking , I was on the way to home. It was dusky atmosphere and the road was pretty empty only you can see some cars going. I was clutching my Cardigan tightly around me 1st I have to go to Taylor house to pick Tom and then I can go to my house. Oh, god there was no cab so I decided to walk.

I hear some boys steps, walking behind me and cat calling me, yeah that just normal for me now but then also I got stressed out, because you don't know what's going on in someone else's mind they can attack you any time, you know. 

That boys started troubling me now by pulling my bag from behind and others were laughing on me, "look at her hair dude, it  looks like nest, and her dressing is like a 50 years old  lady" I hear one boy saying his voice was raucous. I was not even having guts to turn around,at the same time I hear a loud roaring of engine of bike, I turn around to see and ask some help from that person who was on bike but it came out to be Christopher.

He saw what happened with me, I think that is the why he has stopped his bike. He put his bike on stand and started walking in our direction he punch the 1st guy who went near him to punch him, but he turn the table, he punch them so badly he defeated most of the guys leaving one, he was too strong I don't think Christopher can defeat that guy.

That guy punch Christopher, on this face which leads to blood, blood was coming out of his nose and there was some buries also appearing on his face one just down his eyes and the other toward his mouth. I was just standing there in shock. I have never seen real fights in real life. I can't see a boy getting hurt just because of me, I collect all the strength in myself and caught that boy T-shirt and  turn him around and directly kneed him and where the sun doesn't shine to which  he groan in pain and Christopher took chance and beat the shit out of him.

Now the  atmosphere was hushed and I started walking again without turning back to look at Christopher, he was looking so pale, I don't like violence because it hurts people and I don't like to hurt people because I know how  it feels when you are hurt either be physically or mentally.

"Skyler, come I will drop you home" I hear Christopher saying in a rusty voice, "No thanks, I can manage now" I said and continue walking."Skyler don't argue now, just see its getting dark here," he said while walking towards me, "I said, no thanks can't you hear me, why are you so hard?" I said and stopped walking.

I felt like someone caught my hands by arms and turns me around and I directly came in contact with his chest, my head hitting his torso lightly and I smell the his cologne it was so pure I would have drown in it.

"I'm not hard, you are making it hard for me, why can't you just hope on and I'll leave you home, that's simple you know" he said in a loud grumpy voice which made me shiver because I've never hear him using this tone and so mad. I didn't argue with him and I just hope on,  his bike. As I sat he handed me the helmet to wear and he started the vehicle.

"Ummm Chris -Christopher  can you take - take me where I-I want" I said in a stammering voice, "Where you want to go?" he ask straight forward.

"Taylor - Taylor house, I - I'll direct you, I exclaimed and he nod his head. He speed up and and my hands directly went to his waist,, I clutch his Hoodie tightly and his leg was touching mine which made me jerk.

I direct him and he followed as he was said too.

Taylor house was in view now, Christopher stop his bike and I get down, "This is not where you live, do you?" he said while frowning,"No,I don't, I just came here to pick Tom, my younger brother, then I'll go my home", I said and turn around to walk toward Taylor house my back was facing towards Christopher, "I'm waiting outside, get him and I will leave you at your home and mine is just a few minutes away of yours so I can give you lift till there" he said again in a grumpy voice and I just nod , I'm just so freaking exhausted now that I don't want to get in another argue with him.

I went inside and Aunt Zara is not there I guess so because I wasn't able to spot her. Tom came running towards me and hug me tightly.

I bring Tom outside with me and Christopher saw us coming towards him he came forward and picked Tom in his  hand and take him till his bike and made him sit forward.

"This time I won't drive fast, I know you are afraid of that" he said while sitting and I just nod. How come he know that I don't like fast driving he wasn't able to see me because I was behind me so how can a person see what the person is doing and how they are reacting. I think he have super powers to which he can look behind.

This time he drive slow. "What is your name?" he asked Tom,"Tom William" Tom said in his cute voice and I was just listening their talk.

"You are a good boy and a beautiful cute little boy like you deserve a cute and beautiful sister which you already have" I blush so hard, why he has to embarrass me in front of my brother, "I know" Tom said. I told you all he is intelligent.

We reach our home and my house was pitch dark to which I can see through my window,that means Mom and dad are not here till yet.

I get down, Tom and Christopher followed me. As I open  the house Tom ran in and I was left with Christopher all alone. I really feel awkward with Christopher .

"Bye Skyler take care, see you tomorrow in school" he said and went down from porch. I think I should let him in a give a glass of water he was my Knight in shining armour today so for that I can at least do that.

"Christopher, want to come in" I said and he turn around and smile, "No thanks, Skyler but its too late now I need to go home, otherwise mom will be mad at me and I need to cover this buries before she see this" he said while pointing to his buries and started walking.

"Goodbye Christopher take care, see you tomorrow in school" I said and for the first time I smile, I smile towards him for the first time.

I went inside and Tom was fast asleep so I decided to call dad and make some waffle. "Hello dad, you told me, you both will be back till afternoon so were are you?" I ask and settle down, "Yeah, Skyler we are on the way to home and we are bringing food so don't make anything" Dad said and cut the call.

I eat waffle and went to my room to study  but today I wasn't able to, because my mind was thinking about Christopher how he helped me today and even praise me nobody in the world has ever praise me except my parents.

I think he has changed, he is not going to trouble me anymore from tomorrow onwards, key point is I think so. Lets just pray god that he don't trouble me anymore.
