Zach's P.O.V
I looked down at the words carved out on my arms and thought about Trish's face when she saw them. The look of disappointment. Don't get me wrong, I love her a lot, but sometimes she isn't enough. I thought back to the day me and Noah met. I remember the day so vividly.
I was walking down the hall, going to the bathroom, when I accidentally bumped into a tall guy. He had to be an 8th grader. He dropped his books, clearly over exaggerating, gave his friends a look, and then shoved me onto the cold, hard tile floor. One of his friends picked me up by my broken arm, which, hurt like hell, but then they slammed me into the lockers and punched me in the face, in the gut, basically any place imaginable. He let go of me and crouched down to the floor. He said, "Tell anyone about this, and I'll make your life miserable." He stood up, brushed himself off and then walked away with his friends, while I laid on the ground, sobbing uncontrollable, shaking from the pain. A pale boy with dark brown curls that bounced whenever he moved. His eyes were a deep chocolatey color and shimmered in the light. He wore these black, square-framed glasses that fit his face shape perfectly. He was taller than me, making him about average height. His teeth were pearly white and his lips went with his face so nicely. His freckles. Dear god, don't get me started on his freckles. His freckles made his whole face. They went from the tip of his ear, across the bridge of his nose and to the tip of his other ear. His nose was so perfect.
He was perfect.
Anyways, he came out of a classroom and saw me lying on the ground. He dropped his hall pass and ran towards me. He held me. Made me feel safe. He helped me walk to the nurses office. Stayed with me until Trish came to get me. That's when I first realized I liked a boy.
