I descended the stairs with my books for the next three classes. I was known as the loner or wannabe Weasley, since I have red hair. I'm a half-blood Slytherin who obviously has to deal with blood purity everyday. Speaking of blood purity, Tom Riddle roams the halls with his gang or followers. That man is a beauty, I wonder how I fell in love with him. His tall dark hair and his shark jawline can cause any girl to faint in front of him. I'm a depressed person who couldn't keep a friend since I was also known as the mute, which is why I'm always bullied about it. I was snapped out of my thought when Avery came by and knocked the book out of my hand, causing papers and book to fall everywhere. "Watch where your going, wannabe Weasley." He teases and his goons surrounded me. I looked for a way out, but all of them blocked me off. "G-get away." I whispered and Avery cane really close that I could smell beer on him. "Why would I get away, from such a disgrace and disgusting girl?" He says and spat every word. I had tears roll down my eyes when they messed up my clothes and messed up my hair. "Please stop it." I said and they kept pulling me and messing me up. "Get her boys." Avery said again and kept drinking. I was so busy with getting them off me I didn't happen to notice Tom. "GET OFF HER, ALL OF YOU!" He yelled and got them off me. I gasped and wet back against the wall. "What have I said about this, Avery. No more harassment." He says and Avery bowed his head in shame. "Y-yess my lord." He says and I look at them in confusion. "All of you leave the poor girl alone, or you'll go through me, clear?" He asked and they all nodded in fear. "No leave, or else I'll be through with you." He threatened and they all ran away. I got up and went to my stuff. I was gonna pick it up when Tom picked up one of the books I was gonna touch. "I got it." He says in a delicate voice. He nodded and waited after he got done with all of my books. Soon enough he gave them to me and titled his head while I balanced all of it. "You'll be okay on your own?" He asked me in a polite manner. I looked into his eyes that were filled with curiosity and kindness. "Yes, I'll be fine. They're just bullies." I said with a smile and turned to leave. "Wait, Kailua." He called and I turned to face him. I walked to him slowly and we both were in close proximity. "Yes." I said in a whisper. He leaned down and captured my lips. I kissed him back and he broke the kiss with a smile that I rarely see. "If they bother you again, tell me." He says and I smiled. "Of course." I said with a blush. "Can I escort you to our dormitory, Miss. Troublefield?" He asked and I blushed while looking down. "Not at all, Mr. Riddle." I teased and took his arm.
