“BRIE!” I yelped, “Oh my God! You look so pretty today!” I barely had met her, well aside from a few times in class and stuff. I didn't know her as well as Xander probably did, but maybe that would change. Maybe she'd help me with my... problems.

She blushed and sat down next to me, “Thanks Ray.”

“Uh-huh,” I smiled, “I can guess who you’re looking like that for. Does his name rhyme with Bill and start with a W?”

Her face turned darker, “No.”

“Oh, Brie, no use hiding your secrets from us!” Xander laughed.

The bus hit a bump in the road. I bounced off the seat, nearly flying into the ceiling of the bus. I landed on something soft and warm.

“Ow.”

I squirmed on Xander’s lap, “OhmygoshIamsosorryareyouokay?” I said in one breath.

He laughed, “Yeah. Did you hit your head? Are you alright?”

“Mhm,” I couldn’t help but stare into his dark blue eyes, watching him carefully. One day I would be able to decode his thoughts.

The bus lurched to it’s final stop outside Green River High School, the prison I attended because my parents couldn’t afford to send me to private school, even with my straight A’s. And as I stepped off the bus, I couldn’t help but feel a set of eyes on me. He always managed to find me right as I stepped off the bus - the one, the only, Drew Acevedo. He was the school’s bully, the bad boy, the most horrifying person you could ever meet. Rumor had it that he killed his own brother’s girlfriend just because she was looking at another guy.

“Hey, did you get the answer to the first problem on the Math homework?” Brie tapped my shoulder, pulling me out of my frozen state.

“Uhm, it was negative two plus or minus the square root of seven all over six.”

My photographic memory helped sometimes. Not all of the time.

“Oh,” she laughed, “Tell me again when we get to first period because I need to copy your homework again. Seriously, this Math crap gets me so confused.”

I shrugged, “Okay.”

“You’re going to let her copy your homework?” Xander choked with surprise, “But you won’t even let me copy it!”

“Who said I would let her copy my work?”

“Well, that’s what I wanted to copy. If I wanted the answers, I could copy out of the back of the book.”

“For the odd ones. What would you do for the even ones?”

She shrugged.

“Hey,” I felt his hand (not Xander's, unfortunately) snake around my waist.

I sighed, “I’ll see you later Brie.”

“Oh,” she chuckled, “Have fun.”

His voice whispered in my ear, “We’ll have more than just fun today.” What did Drew have in mind for today? I shuddered slightly.

“Drew, get your hands off my girlfriend,” Xander said in an annoyed tone.

“Oh yeah? What are you going to do about it fag?”

“Fuck you, you’re all talk and no game!”

What the hell did Xander have in his breakfast this morning? Did he want to get pulverized. The hand slid from my waist and rested on my butt.

“Hm? What did you say?” Drew chuckled, flicking his long bangs out of the way of his RayBans. His signature smile creeped up on his face. That sick pervert would be smiling. Ew.
