"W-Wait-!" I said suddenly.
"Hm?" He looked back.
"Would you like to sit with me when you come to lunch?" I blushed, "I just- don't want anything to happen to you again."
A pink tint covered his face. "Okay, sure." He turned around and went into the bathroom.
I sighed. "Well that was something," I mumbled to myself. I started walking to the cafeteria.
I spotted Geo and Vurb already sitting at our usual table. I sat down across from them. "Hi guys."
"Your late, something happen?" Vurb asked.
"Yeah, I was just helping someone out." I said. "It's okay if he sits here right?"
"Sure, who is it?" Geo said.
"H-Hey," Darryl says, as if on queue.
"Oh, it's the new kid, you moved here a week ago right?" Vurb said.
"Yeah, my name's Darryl," He sat next to me.
"Well I'm Vurb," He said.
"I'm George, but you can just call me Geo."
"And you? I never caught your name did I," Darryl looked at me.
"Zak, it's Zak," I said.
"It's nice to meet all of you," He said.
"Hey loser, finally found some friends? Too bad it's the weirdos," Someone laughed, hitting Darryl in the arm a bit too hard.
Darryl moved to where he was right up against me, burying his face in my chest.
I flinched, surprised. I looked up at the person, furrowing my eyebrows. "Leave him alone, he hasn't done anything to you."
They huffed, rolling their eyes, "Please, him being here is bad enough."
"What did I just say, fuck off will you!"
"Yeah, who gave you the right to say those things!" Vurb spoke up.
Feeling defeated, they walked away.
"Thank you," Darryl whispered.
"So~ what's going on here?" Geo pointed to me and Darryl. He was still hugging me.
"Ah- sorry Zak, I just don't like confrontation," Darryl let go of me, but didn't move away.
"It's fine," But I knew my face had to be red.
"C'mon, let's finish eating lunch is almost over," Vurb said stuffing food in his mouth.
I checked the time and he was right, we had five minutes left.

My last class had just finished and I was at my locker. I put my books into my bag and swung it over my back.
While I was making my way to the exit a hand grabbed my arm. I looked back and it was Darryl.
"Oh hey Darryl, what's up?" I asked.
