Sweet Creature | Meet me where the books are..

She is kind, heart made of honey.

He is reserved, the opposite of sunny.

No one would ever think they would

be together.

But, They are the Moon and the Sun

for each other.

He came in erupted. Like a volcano - Livid and Destructive. Ready to defend me, no matter the cost. I didn't even see him coming, he had came completely out of nowhere. The way the rage pulsed through his veins as he threw that boy into the lockers, without a single struggle. I stood speechless the entire time, not taking my eyes off of him, just like the rest of my peers. I simply didn't know what to do. I was never one for violence - I mean I've had violent thoughts, but I've never conflicted pain onto someone else, and I definitely didn't condone it - yet I couldn't explain why the butterflies in my stomach were fluttering at the speed of light, now.
Seeing Kai defend me, gave me a sense of comfort. A comfort that I couldn't quite explain. Before things got worse between the two, Noah came steeping in like a hero. Fearless and courageous. I've heard the things the kids talked about in the hallways about Kai; I also see the occasional unexplained black eyes and bruises that often would cover Kai's face. It was no doubt that kai was a real threat - Noah didn't care.

Kai snares something to Noah, I wasn't able to catch it before Kai's eyes were now on me. His eye's were full of a series of emotions, I'm sure anything ranging from anger to regret. He offered to walk me to class and I didn't decline the offer, but I also didn't want to leave Noah behind.

Noah was on my mind the entire morning for first period, he was even on my mind as I walked to Biochemistry. I knew I would be sure to see him there. We sat together, but maybe he wouldn't want to sit by me. The thought alone made me sad. I enjoyed Noah as a friend. He was the very first person to welcome me in. He was nice to me, when nobody else was. He was my rock, and I needed him to know that. If Kai and Noah had family drama that was up to them, it had nothing to do with me. So, when I walked into biochemistry five minutes earlier, I was pleased to see Noah, and he was sitting at his usual spot - the one right next to me.

I smiled, pleased.

"Hi" I greet, my voice soft, but my tone uneasy as I finally reached my spot.

I couldn't pick up his mood. He sat with his head down, copying notes on the board that was already ready. He looked chill on the outside, but just by the way he refused to make eye contact with me, gave me enough reassurance to know that he was upset, still.

"Hey" He says,the simple word dry and lifeless.

I decide to sit down anyways. I meant it when I said that I missed him as a friend, and I could tell he hated to act that way. To act as if he didn't care. So I could be honest this entire time. I needed my friend back, and I was going to get that.

"I'm sorry about what happened" I apologize. The sorry wasn't for me, but it was for him. He needed to hear it coming from me. I know somewhere deep down that he had to have known that this all happened because of me.
