Hoodies in the summer

Chapter five

The next morning as I got to my bus stop clarke was there waiting for me.
"Hey, I wanted to be here just in case Harper try's to mess with you" Right as he said that Harper comes into view.
"Hey dyke, was not expecting to see you, well not alive anyway." He starts laughing. Clarke turned around beaming with anger. "Leave them alone!" he shouted. "Awe the dyke has a friend!".
"I SAID LEAVE THEM ALONE!" . Soon Harper and Clarke were in a screaming match. I covered my ears and waited for it to be over.as the bus pulled up they stopped and Clarke led me onto the bus. "Hey I'm sorry about the screaming."
"It's okay." I knew then he truly cared about me.
After a few days of the same thing Harper Snapped. One day when I got there Clarke was on the ground and harpers was beating him up. "Listen here you little shit, nobody talks to me the way you did!" He yelled. Clarke must have seen me coming because he yell to stay back.when the bus started to come Harper stopped. Clarke covered his face as we walked onto the bus. "Let me see" I said softly I could see blood coming from his nose. I pulled tissues out of my backpack. "He got me bad didn't he?"
"Yeah he got you scratched up a lot."
"I'm going to the principal will you go with me?"
"Yes of course, you need to be cleaned up." I took notice of the bruises on his face and arms and his bleeding nose and black eye. "Oh I could knock his teeth clean out!" I was fuming with anger when I said that. "Hey it's okay, I was defending you it was worth it" he gave me a smile , I returned the gesture.
"Oh my lord!" An office lady said when we walked in "we need to get him to the nurse" said the other one. They brought Clarke to the nurse as I sat in the office waiting for him so we could go to the principal together.
When he came out he looked a lot better. " okay you two come on back." The principal , mrs.jenkins , said as she walked out.
"So explain to me what happened."
Clarke explained what had been happening over the past week. She was let's say shocked. "Harper did this?"
"Yes ma'am" I say. From chatter I heard around school, Harper, was kicked out due to a no violence policy and because Clarke did not lay a hand on Harper he was let go.
"Hey grey,I wanted to asked you something."  He said this as we were walking home together. "Yeah?"
"Well um, I I I like you." My heart started beating faster I was so happy.
"I like you to Clarke."
"Really?" "Yeah, I have liked you since we met." He stopped and stepped in front of me, "will you go out with me?"    " yes yes 1000 times yes!"
