[Aphmau's POV]

"Mom, I'm going to school," I called to my mother, who was across the hallway from mine. Her dreary eyes looked at mine. "You sure, sweetie. I don't want anyone to bully you again." This wasn't like my mom. She usually forces me to go to school. But, ever since the school bully raped me, she's been wanting me to go to a different school.

"Mom, I'll be fine. Remember, Garroth was absent that day. He'll protect me now." Garroth is my best friend, also, the captain of the football team, so he is really strong. He had the flu Friday, which was when it happened. Today is Monday, a new week. A new start. I could just forget about Zenix and go straight to Garroth's place after school.

"Okay, just be careful, though. I love you sweetheart." I smiled. "Love you too, Mom." I kissed her on the cheek and started walking to school, which was across the street. We were lucky where we lived. My backpack draped across one of my shoulders, and I was carrying my lunchbox in my other hand. They matched, they were both light purple.

I got to school and went to my locker and opened it. Everything was where I left it. Usually Zenix stole from me. I guess he was too busy raping me Friday. At least I'm not pregnant. My mom reported to the school, but they think Zenix is too good of a student to do something like that. He's built up his reputation with the staff, but he bullies the students. They tell the teachers, but they think Zenix is a perfect little angel. I hate him so much.

"Hey Aphmau, sorry I missed Friday. What happened." I turned around to see a perfect little angel standing in front of me. Garroth. His blonde hair waved around as he talked, and he took some away from his eye, which uncovered his beautiful eyes. His blue eyes were staring curiously at me, and I took in his sweet breath.

"I got raped. By Zenix." His curious eyes changed to anger. "What?! I need to beat his little ass.." I shook my head. "You'll get in trouble. You know how the teachers are with Zenix." He nodded sadly. "True, I wish I could do something about it. I'm sorry I wasn't there, Aphie." I blushed light pink. I loved when he called me that. Everyone thinks we're a couple, and he never disagreed. I think he likes me. And I like him.

"Come on, let's get to class." He took me by the hand and we walked to class together, social studies. I sat down in my seat, and Garroth sat next to me. We took out our notebooks and started taking notes the teacher wrote on the board for us to copy. It was boring, but then we got through it and went to second period, math. There were warm ups on the board we solved, and then we took a chapter test. Third period was science, and today we were dissecting. That class was pretty fun, and after that was lunch.

"So," Garroth mumbled his words in between mouthfuls of his peanut butter and jelly sandwich. "are you okay?" I smiled brightly. He was always so caring. "Yes, Garroth. I'm fine. It hurt a lot though..." The throbbing pain still hurt in my 'area'. "I lost my virginity to an asshole..." I added with a hint of sadness. He took my arm and linked his hands in mine. "Next time anything happens to you, I'll be by your side, fighting for you happiness." I smiled. "Thanks." He kissed me on the cheek and left to get to the next class.

He kissed me on the cheek!

I finished my lunch quickly and followed him. Once I caught up to him, I whispered in his ear: "Why did you kiss me." He blushed a bit. "Because I wanted to, now let's get to--"

"Not so fast."

In front of us stood none other than Zenix. his brown hair resembled oak. The tree of toughness. His red contacts made his brown eyes a burned red, the color of hatred. He looked ready to attack someone, and that made me slightly back up.

He shoved me in the janitors closet, and my elbow hit the tip of the broom. I would probably have a bruise there now. He smirked at me. 

This is the place where he raped me Friday.

"Well. Potato, I want myself a round two." I spat in his face, and he snarled. "Not going to happen." He glared at me. "I say what's going to happen in this. I rule this school, and there's nothing you can do to stop me!"

"Except for me." Garroth stepped inside the janitors closet, and shut the door. Zenix faced him. "What can you do, wimp? Just because you play football doesn't mean you can-" Garroth shoved him against the janitors map, which caused him to stumble backwards and fall into the mop water. Zenix stood up and smiled. Not a nice smile, a I'm-going-to-kill-you-now smile. Zenix punched him in the face, and Garroth winced. He immediately punched back, though, and made Zenix stumble backwards, again.

They fought for a while, and Garroth unlocked the janitors closet and opened the door, and pushed Zenix out, and then he closed in and locked it. "Garroth, you saved me!" I practically screamed, and I jumped into his arms. He kissed my head. "Well, an angel needs saving, am I right?" I blushed at this comment, and before I could do anything else, he kissed me. On the lips. I happily kissed back, and we walked out of the janitors closet, hand in hand.

"I love you, protector."

"I love you too, Aphie."
