The next week, I knew seeing Andy would turn out like what happens when you paint your nails with your non-writing hand.
Not well.
I walked up to the front of the school, only to be stopped by a large hand.
"Andy told me what you did! You bitch!" One hand was cupped around my neck and the other made contact with my cheek.
I looked up to see Jess giving me this look of pure hatred towards another person.
"I-I did what?" My voice was strained. I was being held up against a wall.
"Oh don't act so innocent! You know what you did on Frday and I won't take your fake little, What did I do?, act. So leave Andy and I alone before you get hurt." Jess let go of my neck and walked into the school.
I stood there, trying to regain my breath.
While standing outside the school, I heard everyone laughing. I ran in to see what was happening.
"Spin the nerd! Spin the nerd!" People were chanting. There was a circle of people, I made my way to the front, only to become surprised at what I saw.
A kid was in the middle of the circle, being pushed around and looked like he was bleeding.
"Spin the new girl! Spin her, too!" I heard a guy say. I looked across from me to see Andy with his arm around Jess, both of them laughing at me. Someone from behind me pushed me and my books fell out of my arms. I was soon being pushed around.
Some people made contact with my face, which made me start bleeding.
The other guy tried to look at me, but we were moving to fast.
"HEY! GET TO CLASS!" All the students stopped what they were doing and saw that a teacher was standing behind them.
All the students scattered, tripping and falling in the process.
He saw us on the floor.
"You two. Uhm.... go to a nurse." The teacher walked away and turned the corner.
I looked at the guy. He had black hair and I couldn't see his face because he was crying, knees to chest, face buried.
I started crying too.
Not because I was bleeding.
Or aching.
But because I was shocked.
Is this why I never trusted anyone?
Because stuff like this happens?
"Name." I heard the guy mumble, distracting me from my thoughts.
"Olivia." I said back. His head shot up and his eyes lit.
"Y-y-your Olivia?" He scooted closer.
I wiped my tears as did he.
"Before you make fun of me or something-"
"I wouldn't."
"Oh. Can I say something really quick?"
"Sure."
"You look vaguely familiar. I'm certain I've seen you before."
"Same here."
"So what's your name?"
"Oh, I'm Zayn."

It had been a week (almost) since I met Zayn. We had started doing everything together.
From eating the same foods, hanging out, meeting each others families.
