Mady's pov:
Hey I'm Mady (18 years old) and I just moved to California. Today is my first day in my new school and I'm super nervous!

I just woke up so now I'm gonna get ready. I put on black jeans and a grey hoodie since it's been pretty cold lately. Then I put on a bit of make up. As I look at the time I notice that it's time to go to school so I run downstairs to put my vans on. After I said bye to my mum I hurry to school. It's my first day I really don't wanna be to late.

I reach school pretty early so I have about 30 minutes to look around my new school. I'm already scared as I open the big door. There are so many people and friend groups. I hope I can make friends soon. I walk around the big hallways for a couple of minutes until I realize that I'm lost. My anxiety kicks in. I come back to reality as I feel someone tapping my shoulder 'sorry can I help you? You seem lost' I turn around to see a pretty blond haired girl. 'Uhm Yea' is all I manage to say. 'Do you have ur schedule uhyet?' she asks? I show it to her. 'Oh we have most of the classes together! We can walk together to math if you want!' I smile at her 'That would be great.' I'm so happy I've already found someone to help me out a bit. ‚I'm Sophia btw.' the girl says ‚Mady!' I say in an exciting voice.

As we are walking to class we pass a group of boys. Correction. Hot boys. Sophia obviously noticed me staring ‚Those boys are the most popular ones in our school. I don't really know them but I heard that they're assholes'

I turn around to look at them again and I wasn't the only one staring. A hot but still cute guy with dark brown hair and the most perfect ocean blue eyes looks at me. I kinda blush because he is really handsome.

‚Who's the boy with the ocean eyes?' I ask Sophia. ‚Oh his name is Daniel aka straight A F-Boy. Well others say so but In my opinion he's not that bad. He's not as rude as the other ones.' I'm kinda sad to hear that he's a F-Boy because I just can't forget those eyes and his perfect face.

(Time skip)

The last period is over now and the day was pretty chill actually. I made more new friends wich is great! But I still think about Daniel. As I walk back to my house I notice a black expensive looking car stopping a couple of houses down the road  and a guy getting out. I can't believe my eyes. It's Daniel! Yes. The Daniel! Like a 9 year old at her unicorn birthday party I happily jump into my house and upstairs to my room where I fall on my bed. What a day!

(Time skip)

It's now 2 weeks later and everything is pretty good. I became really close with Sophia and the other girls. But Daniel barely noticed me.

The bell rings which means it's finally time for lunch. I sit in the cafeteria with my friends talking and eating my food. I remember that I forgot something in my locker so I tell the girls that I'll be back in a couple of minutes after getting my science book.

As I'm hurrying to my locker I bump into someones chest. I look up blushing because I'm so embarrassed and then I see it... I bumped into Daniel! ‚E-eh I'm s-so s-s-sorry' I stutter making everything worse. ‚Oh it's okay it was my fault' Daniel says to my surprise. Maybe he's not that bad as everyone says.

We continue talking about random stuff for about 10 minutes. He's pretty chill actually.

‚ATTENTION! LOCKDOWN! THIS IS NOT A TEST! SEARCH FOR A SAFE PLACE AS FAST AS YOU CAN!

Daniel and I tense up immediately. Everyone begins running around like crazy confusing the 5"2 tall me. On the other side Daniel with 5"11 manages to look for an empty classroom. He takes my hand as we run into an empty classroom. We lock the doors and shoving things like desks and chairs in front of the door. I awkwardly sit down a bit away from Daniel in a corner.

A scared scream escapes my mouth as I hear a gun shot and people screaming and crying. My anxiety kicks in. I immediately start shaking like crazy. My breathing gets heavier every second.

(Daniel's pov)

After the first gun shot I notice that Mady starts shaking. She's such a pretty and cute girl and it's only her second week here. Sophia told me that she has anxiety. Now her breathing gets really heavy. I know that we only know each other for about half an hour but I just couldn't look at her like that. I sit down beside her and put an arm around her shoulders while slightly pushing her head into my chest. I hug her tight and rub her back to calm her down. Her breathing soon gets back to normal until...

... the second gun shot. Tears streaming down her face like water falls and her breath is completely out of control.

(Mady's pov)

Daniel's hug really helped me but after the second gun shot my anxiety is out of control. I can't breath and tears are streaming down my face like crazy. Suddenly I feel Daniel picking me up and setting me down on his lap. He wraps his strong arms around me as tight as he can and I feel his muscles tense up. He puts one hand on my head making me feel safe and playing with my hair which helps me calm down a lot. I bury my head into his hoodie feeling protected from his warm and muscular body. He also whispers things like 'It'll be okay I promise' 'U can cry into my hoodie I don't care' or 'I'm here you're safe'. No one ever was able to calm my anxiety that fast.

After minutes that felt like hours there's a knock at the door. I immediately notice Daniel holding me tighter. But the voices that start talking are different. The police. Finally. Daniel slowly gets up with me still on top of him. After he puts me down on the floor again we open the door. The police brings us out of the building. As we stand outside I look up at Daniel. 'Thank you that you were there for me. I'm sorry it's just I have really bad anxiety and then I can't control mys-' Daniel cuts me off 'Don't be sorry. You were scared that's okay. I'm here for you.' I smiled at him.

He puts his arm around me and I lean my head against his chest as we watch the police arresting the shooter.
