Bell's POV

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" Alex shouts at me. "You always do things without considering others. You only do them for your self!"

"I couldn't just stand there and watch Nick Banner beat up an innocent kid." I shout back getting really angry. I'm beginning to see another side of Alex I hate.

"Yes, you should have just stood there. Don't you think people want to save others being bullied by Nick Banner, they don't because they know the consequences. I told you not to do it, but you did it. You know...... when you came home I felt sorry for you but now I don't, you deserved what happened to you" Alex said and walks away from me.

Okay pause...... I know you guys are wondering what's going on? What happened? Who's Nick Banner?

Well let me take you back to...........

9 hours earlier.

It was a Monday. We arrived at school in Brett's car. Cassie and Alex got out of the car but I still stayed inside just starring at the school building and all the students outside of it laughing, talking with friends, on their phones, doing their homework at the last minute.
I just couldn't do it. The Ryan's already think I'm creepy. Then what will a whole school filled with Teenagers think?

"Bell what's wrong?" Brett asked in the driver's seat turning back to look at me in the back seat.

"I don't feel so good. I think I'm sick" I said.
I hope he buys my lie.

"Yeah right. Weren't you the Bell who was laughing and talking just 4 minutes ago with us?" Brett asked

Busted

I sighed
"Okay fine you got me."

"Don't worry it'll all be good. Anyone who tries to trouble you, just let me know, I'll kick their ass" he said and I laughed

"Okay fine. I'm going" I said still smiling.

I got out of the car and Brett drove off.

"God... I better get out of here before I get spotted with you two" Cassie said looking around and the smile for my face drops "Geez.... Where are my girls?"

"If you didn't want to be seen with us, you could have walked in a long time ago" Alex says turning to her.

Cassie rolls her eyes and turns to face Alex
"I don't walk into school without my girls, now shut up you know nothing" She said
Alex was about to say something but

"Cass" A red haired girl shouted and waved towards our direction

"Thank God Jessica's here" she said and ran to her.

"Isn't that the same girl who helped me pick out this outfit just 20 minutes ago. She was so nice then." I said to Alex.

"You'll get used to it" He said and he started walking into the School's building and I follow suit not making eye contact with anyone.

I looked up to notice that Alex was starring at me weirdly

"Bell are you scared of these people?" Alex stopped walking in the middle of the hallway and I stand in front of him

"What?! Of course not" I said crossing my hands to look tough "infact Bell means Fearless Warrior, I'm not scared"

"That's what it means?? You know what I don't even want to ask." He said. I had to look up to glare at him

"Wow you are kinda short" He said placing his hand on my head "what are you? Like 4'9?"

I removed his hand
"I'm not! I'm 5'4" I shouted
