I sighed in relief when the last bell of the day rang.

I scurried to my locker before the hallway got to crowded. I fumbled with my lock a few times before it opened. Once it did open the hallway was crowded.

"Damn it" I thought.

I grabbed my book bag and waited for the crowed to dive down, once it did I began to walk to the exit.

"Hey freak!" Tessa called behind me.

I ignored her and walked a little faster. Then all of a sudden I feel a tight grip turn my around and a fist hit smack into my face. I instantly fell to the floor. Everything was blurry and I was going in and out of consciousness.

"What the hell did you do?!" I heard Ethan's voice say.

"Nothing" Tessa said.

I was fighting hard to stay conscious. But it was no use, I was out.

I looked at Baileys still body then I looked back at Tessa, her face was pale with no emotion once so ever. I quickly picked Bailey up bridal style and carried her to the bathroom.

I cleaned up her bruise that she got from one punch alone.

I saw her eyes flicker open revealing her deep dark brown eyes. She slightly gasped when she saw me. Then tears came from her eyes. I couldn't tell if it was about earlier at lunch, pain from the bruise or emotional deep pain.

She hopped down off the counter which I sat her on. She started to walk out but I lightly grabbed her wrist.

"Bailey, right?"

She nodded looking down at the floor.

"Why does she always look at the floor, she has beautiful brown eyes"

"Why do you always look down at the floor?" I asked

She raised an eyebrow, then shrugged.

"Well are you alright?"

She nodded. Then a single tear slipped down her cheek. I could tell she wanted to talk but just couldn't.

"Do you trust me?"

She shook her head no. I let out a deep chuckle causing her to smile a little.

I lightly grabbed her hand and leaded her out the school building, to my car. At first she was a bit skeptical about whether she should trust me or not but she finally got in after some convincing.

I pulled out of the parking lot and started to drive.

She's going to be so happy when I show her the place.
