Nick (P.O.V) 

A few weeks pass and it is still the usual morning routine. I got a few new outfits with Nadine so I decide to wear one if it means she smiles one more time then she usually does. 

We can not find our friends anywhere which is convenient because Nad just remembered she forgot something in her locker that she needs for her project

We can not find our friends anywhere which is convenient because Nad just remembered she forgot something in her locker that she needs for her project. We walk to her locker and I see a whole crowd of kids surrounding it. Taking pictures and laughing. This got Nadine alarmed. We both pushed through the crowd. I saw a picture took ---a couple of weeks ago on our first date, I was kissing her neck and in the picture, she looked like she enjoyed it. What really sets me off is that this picture looks as if it was taken right from outside the back window. Under the picture, it says, "even the pure ones are not safe" Nadine clutched her books and her knees buckle as she hears all the kids laugh. 

We did not have sex that night.

What is everyone laughing about?

Nadine drops her books and everyone stares at her.

"WHO THE HELL TOOK THIS PHOTO!?" I yelled as I ripped it off of the locker.

No one answers.

Nadine runs away, she took me with her as her hand was like glue. I spoke her name but it made her run faster. When we got to somewhere where hardly anyone was around Nadine collapsed into my arms and cried silently.

"My reputation is ruined! Now everyone thinks I lost my virginity... Now people will be treating me like a whore" she cried in my jacket. Even when she cries she sounds like an angel. 

"Shh... Shh... it will all be okay..." I comfort her as she cries. I understand why she wants to have the reputation of a pure girl.

"It is my private business... Even if we did have sex I would not want that getting out to the school... Also, I am not a whore like Rebecca is... I do not want to be viewed as one just because I let you kiss my neck." she speaks. I pull her closer to a tighter comforting hug. She gladly accepts it.

"If Rebecca did this I will fucking murder her" I state confidently. This made Nadine crack a tiny laugh. She lets go from the hug and I see crystal tears stream down her face at a rapid pace. I take her face and rest it in both of my hands as I wipe her tears away. "There is no need to cry, love. I am here. I am here." I whisper, her hands on mine on her face. She suddenly comes forward and kisses me but I did not pull back. I could tell she needed it to save her emotions. She pulls away and licks her lips.

"Thank you... For making me feel better" she whispers--still a little timid.

"Is that convincing enough?"

"Yeah--" she takes a breath while saying as she kisses me again for a longer amount of time. If this is what it takes to make her feel better I have a really good role as a boyfriend. An angel does not get to feel this pain-- I will not allow it. Nadine is too precious to cry. I can confidently say that. So fragile, innocent, pure, adorable, and a fucking amazing kisser.

That's her.

My girl.

Nadine (P.O.V)

I was not able to focus in class-- all I thought about was this morning. How someone went out of their way to expose Nick and I's life outside these damned walls. I was tired of crying. But I mean I am a junior in high school who isn't tired is the real question. I get out of class for lunch and I start to feel drowsy. I suddenly feel a sharp pain in my head, my vision gets blurry. It is like someone hit me in the head with a hammer. I collapse and everything goes black.

When I wake up I see the crew staring down at me. But where is Nick? "Yo, guys, she is awake," Clarence says. "Are you okay? You really hit your head..." Erin responds, putting an icepack on my head. I open my mouth but I can not form words.

"SHE. really hit her head? what Erin means to say is that asshole really clocked you." Nathan objects as he sets my hands on my stomach as they were hanging over the bench. 

"Wheres Nick?" I ask. 

"Who is Nick?" Clarence asks.
