Turn Away

I'm Not Okay

Once again, I was held up against a locker with my stuff on the floor, about to get the shit beat outta me. I've learned to evade my bully, Jason and his friends. But today, for some reason I wasn't thinking straight so they caught me off guard.

"Hey (y/n). You missed your daily beating yesterday. You know we have a schedule." Jason smirked.
"Sorry I disappointed you. I wasn't really in the mood to bleed more than I already am if you catch what I'm saying."

Jason scoffed.

"One of these days I'm gonna show the school what a whore you--fuck!!"

He was interrupted by someone kicking him in the nuts from behind. As he fell to the ground, I saw a tall guy with shoulder length hair and blue eyes standing there.

"That's not how to treat a lady. Now apologize to her and pick up her stuff." He said.
"There's no way you're gonna make me do that for this whore." Jason said standing back up.

Next thing I knew, the guy pushed Jason into the lockers next me then gave him a wedgie. I started to giggle to myself watching him scream like a little girl.

"I said pick up her shit and apologize!"
Jason's friends quickly picked up stuff and handed them to me.

"Say it." He said.
"Put me the fu--!"
"Say it!"
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Just put me down."

He let him go, allowing him and his goons to run away. Meanwhile I was dying of laughter.

"That was hilarious!" I said.

The boy smiled at me while walking over to me.

"You hurt, beautiful?" He asked.
"Nah, they would've if you hadn't come along. Thanks."
"No sweat."

I looked at him for a second, tilting my head. I squinted my eyes making him look at me confused.

"What?" He asked.
"Wait haven't I......seen you somewhere before?"
"I get around."
"No like......oh! You're that new kid from Ohio!"
"You guessed it! Just moved here. Already starting trouble. I'm assuming you are too with how often I see you in the office."
"Hey, it's not my fault. Most of the kids in here have it coming."
We chuckled as the bell rang over us.
"Welp, I'd better get to class. Maybe we can hang at lunch, y'know, get to know each other better."
"Sounds cool. I'll be in the corner lunch table. You'll see 4 other people there. Those are my friends."
"Wow, you've been here for what? A week? And you already have friends. What am I doing?"
"Well one of things you're doing is sitting at my table at lunch."
"See you later. By the way, I'm (y/n)."
"Andy."
"Well I better get going."
"See ya soon beautiful."

I walked into the lunch room I saw a guy waving at me from the corner and I automatically knew it was Andy. When I got there, his friends introduced themselves. After lunch, I went to the last class which I shared with Andy. While the teacher was talking, Andy started to pass me notes.

Andy: hey
