( the one where Eddy is a freshman, Brett a sophomore in highschool.)

Brett's pov

Day one:
It was a stereotypical Monday, hand clenched in the collar of my shirt, feet off the ground and back pressed against cold hard metal of the lockers.

" here we are again music nerd! Aren't you going to squirm or scream? "

" No because I don't care just get this over with" the whole situation became bland after awhile. I figured it would become old eventually and Patrick would start leaving me alone or something would happen. The older male scoffed pulling his other fist back so I prepared for the punch but then something unexpected happened:

" Get off him!" It was a familiar vioce that came from the end of the hallway.
Patrick and I gave eachother a blank stare before slowly looking towards the subject who created the sound. This was new.. I saw a tall lanky freshmen who couldn't be much older than 15. Wait why was he taking his hoodie off? And was that the kid from math tutoring?

" Yeah I'm talking to you!", He pointed straight at Patrick," And I said put him fucking down!" The freshman snarled quickly approaching.

Patrick slammed me harder into the metal going in for the punch, " I don't give a damn about what you say fresh meat" I closed my eyes in wait but no punch had ever come.... I slowly opened them again seeing the boy wrench the thick fabric of his hoodie around the bullies face and not to kindly yanking back making the seniors body whiplash back.

My feet once again made contact with floors and my shirt was freed from the hateful grip. I was no longer the target but that poor stupid boy from math tutoring was. Of course I felt bad for his sorry ass but then again it was better him than me. My full intent was to leave before anything got too ugly: however, those plans were also ruined as Patrick tackled the idiot to the ground right in front of my walking path.

" Not so tough with your back to the ground are you?" Patrick scoffed pressing his hand over the boys mouth and nose to try to freak the freshman out by stopping the air flow," The bitch bit me!" He wrenched his hand away before making a fist. A loud thud filled followed by several more as his fist made contact with the others face; however, the younger remained undetered ; grabbing his hoodie once more but this time the intent wasn't to pull but to form a noose.
I heard the simple word fill the atmosphere- it was unexpected- striking fear and a strange excitement in me. The word was simple yet threatening " Beg" then the next couple sounds came from Patrick it was wheezes, coughs and gags maybe all attempts to say something without any actual ability to do so, seeing that he was being choked.
The freshman soon let go and pushed Patrick off of him, which once set free ran for it.
" Brett are you okay?"
Crap the kid knew my name and I didn't even remember his," I'm not the one who's bleeding on the floor" I gave a smart ass reply as I squatted down by his side , " Do you need me to take you to the nurses office? "
He sat up carefully shaking his head no, " I'll be fine." He brushed his bangs behind an ear a bit shyly as he smiled at me. It was the kindest and softest smile I've ever seen despite the blood running down his face and ruining the affect of it all," I'll just clean up in the bathroom." His manner in speaking changed. Part of me wondered if I was dealing with a psychopath. The boy I was talking to now was way different from that beast yelling down the hall at Patrick.

" Do you need any help?" I slowly stood reaching my hand out to him," Your name is Edward right? Or is it Timothy?" I quietly asked
He giggled grabbing my hand," You were right the first time, I'm no Tim. It's Edward but I prefer Eddy."  He pulled himself to his feet with my help. Eddy was strangely light for his height–noted to self.  Are hands lingered in their place before I finally let go seeing that he was standing up now, no need to be holding hands with a person that was practically a stranger a cute stranger.... Wait cute!? No a psychopathic stranger that came to rescue me eeeeeee! Well I did kinda know him from math so it's not that weird.
"Are you okay? You've been staring at me for awhile...." His nervous vioce broke me out of my thoughts.

" The blood is kinda distracting"  it was the best excuse to give when staring at someone who just so happened to be bleeding out.

Eddy started to wipe at his face with his arm," Oh sorry." He murmured wearily trying not to visibly flinch with the contact– his face scrunched up as his teeth gently sunk into his bottom lip– cute. I don't know what came over me but the next thing I knew I was grabbing and pulling his arm away from his face then started to walk: dragging him along with me.

" what are you doing? Where are we going?"

A grumpy huff escaped my lips," You're going to hurt yourself more so I'm taking you to the bathroom so you can clean properly!" Wow what was I thinking, where did this protectiveness come from? Wasn't my original plan to just ditch the kid with Patrick? And it's not like he needed my help anyways after all Eddy did hold his own against my bully.
I heard a quiet giggle from the taller. What the crap? Why was he behaving so soft now. Where's that beast from earlier? Why was he so submissively following me? I made up my mind: This kid was definitely a psychopath that could turn at any moment like a ticking bomb.  I quickly pushed open the bathroom door disappearing inside it's constraints," I'll get you some damp paper towels. Don't do anything idiotic." I let his arm slip out of my fingers as I quickly stalked over to the paper towel dispenser.

Eddy glanced around the stalls noticing one was occupied so he went to a vacant one next to it not minding to close its door. I quickly turned around seeing him standing on the toilet seat to look over and in to the other stall: That's when I heard a scream.

" HOLY SHIT!!!"

" You're looking good Ray," The little psychopath whistled.

" Stop looking!"

" It's nothing I haven't seen before. You're over reacting."
Nothing he hasn't seen before?! Who the hell is this guy... He's something special that's for sure.

" well excuse me if I didn't expect to look up and see a bloody face staring at me" there was a brief silence before the dude in the stall spoke again," Wait why is your face and head bleeding? Do you need my help?"

" Nah I got Brett in here helping me"

" The Brett you talk about from your math tutoring? Or a different one?"

" It's the one from math tutoring. He thought my name was Tim!" Eddy laughed," You should really come out and meet him."

" You don't even look like a Tim."

" I know right?"

" I can hear you two talking I am right here you know" I finally butted into the conversation. I heard the stall door unlock with a click before it slowly opened revealing Ray Chen: the senior in our orchestra. The hot solo violinist! How and why was he friends with this freshman. But most importantly why had Eddy been talking to him about me.

" Dude are you okay?" Eddy delicately asked with a smirk," You seem to be fanboying"

" I'm not the one bleeding from my face" I threw the paper towels I grabbed at his face," Clean yourself up"
