okay with that enjoy reading! xx 
(chapter word count: 730)

"Marella Redek?" She lifted her hand with a frown.

"Here." Ms. Alina looked at her with a smirk that seems to be saying Why are you here again?

"Linh Song?"

"Here." A higher voice called from the back of the room. Marella turned around to see a girl with shiny black hair in the corner of the room. 

Song. Why do I know that name? And then it hit her. I defend her brother basically every day. 

"Since I'm feeling kind today, you can use this as a study hall period. Use it wisely." Marella sighed a breath of relief and pulled out a math sheet from her backpack.

50 minutes later the bell ran and Marella was free to leave. She stopped by the water fountain to take a drink, and when she stood back up she saw Linh hovering a few feet away.

"Holy sh*t you scared me." She placed a hand over her heart, and Linh smiled apologetically.

"Sorry. I just wanted to say thank you." Something about the intensity in her light blue eyes made Marella feel odd as she spoke. 

"For what?"

"My brother. He's not very good for speaking up. Neither of us are, to be honest." She pushed her hair behind her ears, revealing a small silver hoop on her upper right ear. "But it means a lot for you to stand up to Fitz. Being gay is hard enough, and getting bullied for it is even worse."

"Well, I would fight Fitz any day, even if he wasn't bullying your brother. I've known him for years, and he's the biggest dick I know." Linh raised an eyebrow.

"Oh? How've you known him so long?"

"I'm friends with Biana, and Sophie actually dated him for awhile." Linh nodded, understanding.

"I'm sorry for you." Marella laughed.

"It's whatever. Used to it. How'd you get into detention?" They found themselves walking together through the hall and out the school as Linh talked.

"I showed up to history late too many times and Mr. Ross snapped at me." Marella frowned.

"Oh god, I am not excited to have him next year." Linh laughed.

"It sucks, but show up to class on time and actually try and you should be fine." This time it was Marella's turn to laugh.

"Yeah, about that, those are the two things I'm not good at."

"Well, then you're screwed." Beeping cut off the rest of their conversation, and Marella groaned.

"That's my mom. I gotta go." Linh's smile fell quickly, but then it came back.

"Oh, hey! Why don't we exchange numbers and hang out some time? You seem great, and I feel like I should treat you for standing up for my brother."

"I'll exchange numbers, but you don't have to do anything for me." Marella pulled her phone out, unlocked it, clicked onto her contacts app, and handed it to Linh.

"Please, it's the least I could do." Linh handed Marella's phone back with a smile. "Text me when you get home, 'kay?"

"Okay. Have a good day, Linh."

"You too, Marella." Marella waved as she got in the car. She immediately pulled her phone out and sent a quick text to Linh.

"Hey mom?" Marella asked. Caprise glanced over at her daughter.

"Yeees?" her mom sang.

"I made a new friend at school today and she asked if we could hang out tomorrow. She offered to pick me up at 9. Would that work?"

"I don't see why not. Who?"

"Her name's Linh. She's a junior."

"And older lady, huh?" Carpise winked at her daughter, and Marella groaned out, dragging a hand down my face.

"Mom, I love you and all, but just because I like girls doesn't mean I like every girl I meet." 

"I know. But if you liked boys I would tease you just as much, so it's only fair that I tease you now." Marella rolled her eyes, burying her head in her hands.

"You're so embarrassing."

"But you love me."

"That I do. That I do." Marella picked her phone back up and texted Linh.
