~Justin's point of view~


"Oh, thank you for accompanying, Justin." My mom gushed at Darielle. It's 1.00 a.m. which means her work is done and Darielle has to leave. They thought I was already asleep but actually I'm watching them from upstairs; hiding behind the wall.



Darielle grinned at mom. "Anything to help a mother in need." She responded. I felt my chest tightened. I feel sad for her. She just told me a painful truth.



"They're dead."



I sighed at how she had to live on her ow-. Wait! Maybe she has siblings! Then, she won't be alone! But . . . She didn't tell me she had any. So, I better not keep my hopes up.



"You're the first girl to ever spend time with him. I'm sure you had this experience with your brother." My mom said with a small smile. Darielle chuckled and turn her head another way yet kept a grin on her lips.



"I don't have a brother." She said in soft voice. I could tell she was sad but I wouldn't know. "Oh." My mom trailed. "Then, maybe with a sister?" Gosh! I could feel that Darielle's hurting but I wouldn't know with that composed look on her face.



Darielle shook her head and chuckle. "I don't have one either." I glance at mom who had a pitiful look. Darielle sighed as she puts her hand on my mom's shoulder.



"Well, it's late and I need to prepare for school tomorrow." She informed. "Oh." My mom softly said with a sad expression. Does she not want Darielle to go?



"Goodbye, Miss Mallette." She said before going out the door and shutting it. What? . . . H-How did she know her last name? More oddly, why didn't she call her; 'Mrs. Bieber'?



Darielle sure is a mystery. Uh-oh! Mom's coming up! I ran to my room. Oh no, she's coming in! Act dead, Justin!



= = = = = = = = = =




"Justin! Get ready for school!" I groaned and shouted back at my mom telling her I'm up . . . but NOT ready. I wish I could go to school normally WITHOUT getting beat up on a daily basis.



~At school~


"You're such a freak show!"



"Useless piece of s**t! Go back to your cave!"



Sigh . . . I wish I could talk back but . . . I just couldn't . . . I'm just a coward. No girl will ever like a guy who's a coward! Suddenly, I got slammed against the cold hard lockers.



"Hey, Nerd Freak!" David . . . "Where's my project?!" I felt my knees go weak as I started shaking in fear. "WELL!?" I cringed and gulped as I struggled to get the words out of my mouth.



"I-I-I . . . left it . . . i-i-in . . . m-my . . . house . . ." I stuttered. I slowly look up to meet his eyes. Anger & Evil. I felt my body temperature drop when I saw the look on his face.



"You f***ing dork! You're gonna pay the price!!!" He yelled in maximum volume making me shake in fear uncontrollably. He grabbed me by my neck and started lifting me up off the ground.



Then, he starts choking me. I gasped for air. I knew he wasn't gonna let me go. I guess this is Goo-. "Let him go." I heard the students gasp in horror as the voice spoke.



Soon, David released me causing me to fall on the ground and started gasping and panting as I slowly receive oxygen. "Now, step away from him." I glance up to find Darielle standing in front of David with a look that could kill even if it's emotionless.



I saw David fidget a little but then put on a scowl as he stared down at her. "No." He spoke sternly yet a hint of scared in it. Darielle cocked her eyebrow up as a devilish smirk tugged upon her lips.



She huffed and took a step forward to him. "Last chance, yes . . . or no." She spoke softly with a smirk. I gulped at what's her next move. David gulped as he started getting nervous.



"N-No." He stammered as he answered. Darielle shrugged. "Your loss." Then, she took a step forward; grabbed David's arm and flipped him over 'til his back made hard contact against the floor.



We were all in shock that no one even helped him get up or sent him to the infirmary. Then, Darielle bent down to my level since I was on the floor.



I stared up at her flawless face. Her eyes bored into mine. They were . . . comforting. She smiled sweetly at me which made my heart thump faster. "You alright, Justin?" She asked with concern.



I gulped and nodded. "Y-Yeah . . ." I whispered nervously. She huffed softly as she smiled widely. "C'mon," She extended her hand. "Let's get out of here." She whispered.



I had a puzzled look on my face. "Wh-What?" Is she saying that we should ditch? "I don't like seeing you get hurt." She admitted when she turned her head the other way.



My eyes widened at what I heard as my cheeks reddened. Did she just admitted that she cared about  . . . me? "B-But, I haven't hand in my essay." I whispered.



"Pfft." She lifted her hand to her mouth to prevent from laughing but she had a smile on. By now, the hall was empty when David was carried away.



Darielle rested her head on her hand as she looked at me. "You're such a Nerd," My heart sunk down a little when she said that . . . but I thought too soon. "But, a cute Nerd." Now, my whole face was a tomato.



= = = = = = = = = =



"You're too uptight. Let loose once in a while." Darielle said to me as she walked towards my front door. In the end, I ditched school for the very first time. 



My mom is home today because she wanted to stay home for one day. "Don't worry, she'll understand now, knock the door." She gestured. I nervously knocked and we heard footsteps rushing.



The door swung open revealing a shocked mother. "Justin!? What are you doing here!?" She shrieked. I laughed nervously as I glance at Darielle not knowing what to say.



She sighed and turned to mom. "I told him to ditch school for today." She confessed making my mom gasp. "Why?" Darielle sighed and looked at me. I gulped. Mom has to know.



"Justin got strangled by his bully." She explained.

Yikes! That's all I could say.
