A R I E L'S P O V:
Toby didnt move his hand. It's like we weren't even holding hands.
"Toby?" I asked.
"Yes?" he looked at me.
"When I got off the bus the other day," I started," I heard people calling me names. I'm not sure how to react."
"It's good you told me about it. But I'm not a good person to handle with these things. They might have just been some of the bullies bitches."
"Bullies?" I sighed.
"Yeah," he started and looked off,"Many of them. Sadly I've had my experience with them."
"Are your okay?" I asked.
"Yea I'm fine."
We walked to the locker.
"So uh English first?" I questioned trying to remember out schedule.
"Math first. Enligh is third."
"What's second?"
"Science."
"Okay," I grabbed my binders and we walked to class.
"No PDA in the school!" a teacher yelled to us. I was confused then I looked down and noticed we were still holding hands.
"Uh," I pulled my hand away.
"It's okay. Leave it. They just say that to scare us."
"Oh okay," I said slowly and he grabbed my hand again.
I blushed a bit. Toby and I are just friends. Friends hold hands.
We walked into class. I sat next to Toby in the back.
"Hello class! This is Ariel. She is new. Don't scare the hell out of this one," he joked as the class laughed at that.
I walked back to my seat.
"Teachers are allowed to cuss?" I whisperd to Toby.
"Nope!" he whispered back.
"Then why-?"
"Okay class! Today we will be reviewing what we have learned so Ariel won't be lost."
---
Math finished and the bell rang. I followed Toby.
"So Science?" I asked still trying to get to learn this.
"Yes."
We entered the class and I sat next to a lonely girl who's hair was hiding her face.
"Hey," I said.
I was going to introduce myself but then I saw her face.
"Oh hey Ariel."
"Hey Clementine. I didn't know you were in this hour."
"Course you didn't. The only person you knew was you and Toby. This is your first REAL day."
"Okay," I said.
"Hi class! We have a new student today," the teacher pointed at me and everyone's eyes were staring at me,"Her name is Ariel. Dont think about anything. I know that look on your face Jackson."
She didnt seem in controll of her class.
---
Science was FUCKING CONFUSING AF. Okay I need to chill out.
But she doesn't really explain anything.
"What's your next class?" Clem asked.
"English."
"Ha good luck," she laughed.
"Why?"
"Matthew and Tomas are in that class."
"Oh god," I joked and we laughed.
"Well see you at lunch," she said and left.
I found Toby and we walked to English.
"So did you have fun in-"
"Hell no," I said. I know he was asking about science. I think he knew that I was struggling because of the look on my face.
Toby laughed.
----
At lunch I sat down at a random table.
Please don't be a popular girl table, please don't be a popular girl table, please don't be a popular girl table. I said to myself.
Clem walked up with Matthew and Jonas,"How did she know what table?" Jonas asked.
"I didnt. I was hopeing it wasn't a popular girl table."
Matthew laughed while stuffing a French fry in his mouth.
"So where's Toby?" I asked looking around trying to see if I could spot him.
"Oh he is still in line for his lunch,"Tomas said walking up with a plate.
"Okay," I said and started poking my 'Mystery Meat'.
I'm a vegetarian so I don't really eat this stuff. I have no clue why I even got this.
"Hey guys!" Toby said walking up. He set his plate down. It was the 'Mystery Meat' and French fries.
"Hey," Clem said and waved.
"Hi bro," Jonas said.
"Sup," Matthew said.
"Oh hey," Tomas turned around and looked at him.
"Hi," I simply said.
He looked at me and smiled.
"Oh crap I forgot my ketchup!" he said,"I'll be right back."
Toby grabbed his plate and ran over to the sauce table.
Suddenly someone made him drop his food and threw Toby against the wall.
"Woah dude come on!" Toby said on the wall.
The guy pick Toby up by his shirt. Toby was off the ground.
"Again?" Clem said poking her food.
"This happened more than once?" I asked. They nodded and I ran up to Toby to help," Let him go!"
I grabbed the persons arms and tried to pull them off Toby. The guy pushed me onto the ground.
"Ouch!" I yelled.
The guy looked and me and I didn't believe it.
"Ariel?" Chandler asked as he dropped Toby and Toby fell.
