All three looked at me as if I was crazy, I continued to smile sweetly at least giving them a chance since they are still kids.

"F*ck off " the leader no longer gave a sh*t and let his underlings go after me. #1 goon was about to grab my wrist but stopped. Our eyes locked, I smiled at him, my eyes shining in their blue-green shine. His eyes turned wide, all colour drained from his face.

"I-I.." he gasped to form a sentence. He backed away and began ran the other way, not even once looking back at his friends.

How mean, do I look that scary?

"Hey! Where the hell--" goon #2 shouted after his friend, his bewildered eyes landing on me.

"Why the f*ck did he run away?" The guy holding Sylum visibly p*ssed now.

"I don't know man" I shrugged. We all looked in the direction where their friend left, like some cartoon the shook themselves out of their confusion and glared at me. Goon #2 didn't wait to throw a punch at me.

"Whoops" I caught his fist before it could really reach me. Confused he looked at my hand then at me.

"You are no one punch man. Chill your stick arms, bro" I gave him my sincere, heartfelt advice.

"Who the f*ck are you?" He looked up from the punch and immediately jumped back, he held my eyes while slowly backing away, like a prey who is trying to escape.

"Josh, run" his strained voice not giving much room to argue.

The bell rung for my Biology class. I will be late since the lab is on the other side of school.

"Are you seriously scared of some chick?" He whipped Sylum around like a sack of potatoes and flung him at me. Not caring for the safety of either Sylum or my delicate self.

I didn't expect to play dodgeball outside of P.E.

I am joking. I am joking.

I jumped back and caught him in my arms, like the princess he is. My short arms couldn't really hold the giant guy for long since he would slip from my stumpy arms.

My gold mine is pretty light.

"Freak" Josh muttered under his breath, both scurried down the hall.

I pursed my lips, we both stayed in an awkward silence. I looked down at him, his head turned away.

"Could...you put me down?" He coughed. His pale skin doing a pretty bad job at hiding his creeping embarrassment.

"Ah, sorry" I put him down.

"You should better avoid the seniors" he adjusted his ruffled uniform.

"Shouldn't you take your own advice?" I fired back.

"If you are the subject of envy it is pretty hard" the corner of his mouth rose into a cocky smile. He brushed his hair back, his pale blue-green eyes gleamed in the light.

"I am going to the nurse office to skip, I think with this we are pretty even so let's never meet again since I don't want to get involved with you" he waved his hand and bent down a little as if he was talking to a child.

Perplexed I just watched him go down the hall without another word.

What the hell was that?
