Amanda's POV
(Flashback to elementary with little Amanda and Xavier. Amanda sitting alone on the playground, bullies start walking towards her)
All I hear is these kids making fun of me, saying; "Get out of here, you don't belong" "You are such a loner" I try tuning them out but it doesn't work. Next thing I know, I'm on the ground, covered in blood. I don't move, I stay still hoping they leave me alone. And they did, I didn't realise why until I saw him; Xavier (my soon to be best friend/crush) He left his friends to see what was going on, he heard a smack, which was me being pushed down. He ran faster, he told the bullies off, they left. He helped me up and he introduced himself. He said; "Hi, I'm Xavier, I've seen you around school a lot. Don't let those kids get to you, they are just jealous of you." When he said that I smiled, "Thank you Xavier for everything. I'm Amanda" next thing I know he hugged me and carried me to the nurse's office. I'm just smiling like a goofball. From that day on he's been my best friend.
(Flashback over)
I always think back to that day, I'm so glad he's by my side everyday. The thing is, I'm in love with him, but he doesn't know that, and he's very happy with his mean girlfriend, Helen. I'm not saying that because I'm jealous, it's true, Helen has been my bully since he's introduce me to her. She acts so nice when he's around, as soon as he leaves she's talks so awful about me to my face and to her little minions. I want to tell him, but he would be so heartbroken, so I just take the pain so he doesn't feel it like I do.
