Scarlett
I was in my truck and I was driving just to clear my mind and I passed by the high school and I remembered when.
Me, Steve and Bucky were sophomores and someone had picked on Steve and I had overheard it from the hallway and I ran into the boys locker room and I heard Bucky yelling at someone and then punching a guy. I grabbed Steve despite the protests of a girl not being allowed in here.

I stood by Steve and threatened to punch anyway who hurt Steve. Then I saw Bucky getting punched and I watched him just laugh and punch harder.

I gasped as I saw Bucky broke the guys nose and I saw the teacher breaking them up. I walked over to Bucky and hugged him and checked for anything bad. He'd have some bruises.

"You three nurse's office then the principal", he yelled.

Bucky shrugged and we made our way to the nurse. Bucky and Steve were patched up and we made our way to the principal.

"You three are always in here", he said.

"With all due respect sir, the asses that are most guys in this school keep being bullies to Steve here".

"That doesn't mean beat them up. Barnes you gave the guy a broken nose".

"Well the asshole deserved it", murmured Bucky.

"Look I gotta punish you three. James, your suspended til next Monday. Steve and Scarlett you have detention after school for 3 days. Now back to class you two and your detention starts today and James I'm calling your parents".

Me and Steve after our detention would go to Bucky's in my car and we'd tell him all about what happened that day and all that.

I pulled over on the side of the road and ran a hand through my hair. Why'd they have to leave just to come back. I still had feelings for Bucky but it's not fair, he left me. Why do I still have to have feelings for him.

And he used to be boyish cute then at the end of sophomore year he started becoming manly. And all the girls would ask him out and me and Steve would feel left out. Then my birthday those years ago we had made love and I realized this man would have my heart for life and he still did.
