Lunch rolled around and I managed to get a table with all my friends again. We joined up two tables so we could fit everyone on. I sat on one end while Tyler took the other. Left to right on one side was Craig, David, Brian and Lui. The other side was Brock, Marcel, Felix and Ken. We all really got along with Felix and Ken, so we decided to invite them to our table. Felix said he had another friend but he wasn't here yet, so we would have to make more room. I looked around the dining hall and saw Jonathan sat all by himself on the end of a table. He wasn't eating, just looking down at the floor. I guess I was staring for a while because Tyler looked to see what I was looking at.

"Are you okay?" He asked, trying to follow my gaze. I shook my head and looked at him. He laughed. "You went to another fucking world!" Brock and David laughed with him, picking up on our conversation.
"I was just looking at the new kid over there. He's all on his own." I replied.
"He was in my Math class but he didn't speak the whole lesson." Brian informed.
"Yeah he was in our English and it was the same thing. He probably came here with no friends and he's too scared to talk." Ken stated, putting one arm around Felix. Everyone nodded and continued eating, whereas I put my food down and got out of my chair. Lui looked up and me.
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"I'm gonna see if he wants to join our table." I answered walking away.

I made my way over to his table and sat opposite him. He looked up quickly, noticing my presence. I put a hand up and waved slightly. "Hey, I noticed you were all on your own. And I wanted to know if you wanna come and join me at my table?" I asked awkwardly. He shook his head slightly and messed around with his hands nervously. "Do you want me to sit here with you?" I furthered. He shrugged his shoulders and looked back down. "Wait here." I spoke, walking back to my table. I grabbed my stuff and walked back over to him, gaining a few stares from my friends. I set my stuff down on the table and continued my lunch. "Do you not have any lunch?" He shook his head. I raised my eyebrows and looked at my food. "You want some of mine?"

"Why are you doing this?" Jonathan suddenly asked, ignoring my question. His voice was rough and made him sound like he just woke up. I was too shocked to reply and just sat there motionless. "Forget it." He muttered, getting up from the table.
"Wait, where are you going?" I grabbed his wrist.
"Leave me alone." He growled, ripping his arm out of my grip. I sighed and sat back on my chair. I watched him as he walked out of the dining hall and over to a bench outside. Soon after the school bullies started walking towards him. I grabbed my bag and went back to my table.

My seat was taken by Felix's friend, but I didn't really care. They started asking me questions about what happened but I just ignored them. "Guys come on let's go to next lesson." I stated, walking towards the doors. Everyone expect Ken, Felix and the other kid followed me. Lui grabbed my arm and pointed over to Jonathan.
"Look that kid is fighting the bullies!" He commented.
"And he's losing." Tyler snorted.
"We can't just let 'em go on like this!" David panicked, walking towards them. I followed behind him and saw the mess of people fighting.

Jonathan was on the floor getting punched in the face by the head of bullies, Mark. His friends Jack, Wade and Robert stood around him kicking and shouting. I gritted my teeth and yanked Mark off of him, making him fall on to his back. Judging by his face Jonathan had made a couple of hits too. I grabbed Mark by the collar and pulled him up to my level. "What the fuck are you doing?" I growled. Mark smirked and kicked me in the stomach, making me fall and grip it. He was about to punch me but Tyler came to my rescue. He kicked mark in the side of the head.
"WAPOW!" He shouted, knocking him out.

I looked back to see the rest of my friends separating the others from Jonathan. He had a busted lip and black eye, both covered in blood. "Are you okay?" I asked looking around for other bruises. I was about to check his arms, but he pulled them away from me and rolled over to get up. He stood and tried to walk, which failed completely as he limped. By now the principle had reached us, and was staring menacingly at us through her glasses. "Go to the nurse, I will see you all at the end of the day." She snarled before walking off. I went to help Jonathan to the nurses office, which he hesitantly allowed me to do.
