Hayden's P.O.V

I wake up to the sound of my alarm going off to "Poison" by Martin Garrix. I grab my glasses off of my dresser and check the time, then drag myself out of bed and begin to get ready for school. (Outfit below)

I grab my backpack, and head downstairs. "Bye Mom!" I yell as I head out the front door, and walk towards the bus stop.

The bus ride was how it was everyday. People yelling and throwing stuff at each other. I put my headphones in, and ignore everything around me, like I normally do.

The bus gets to the last stop onto the way to school. I didn't bother seeing who got on the bus, I just continued to stare out the window.

I felt a tap on my shoulder, then take a headphone out, and see that it was a tall boy with the jawline of a goddess and brown hair with a purple streak in the front.

"Is it okay if I sit here?" He asked with a deep voice.

I nod and move my bag and put it down on the floorboard. He sits next to me, setting his bag in his lap facing forward.

"I'm Ethan." He said facing me.

"Hayden." I reply. "So I'm guessing you're new here?"

"Yeah, me and my brother, back there." He said pointing to a boy who sat a few seats behind us. When I look, I notice that they look almost exactly alike, except for the hair. Ethan's brother's is shorter with a touch of blonde to the front.

"So where are you from?" I ask trying to break the silence.

"New Jersey." He replies kinda awkwardly.

"Oh cool." I say.

When we arrive at school, Ethan waves bye to me and heads the opposite direction.

I make my way towards the band room, as I always do in the mornings, until I heard someone call my name.

It was my best friend Reagan.

She runs to catch up with me.

"Hey, have you seen the new hot twins on campus. What are there names again? Grayson and-" I cut her off and say "Ethan." with a giggle.

"He sat next to me on the bus this morning." I said.

"Oh. Hey did you here that band practice is cancelled after school?" She said changing subject.

"No, since when?" I asked turning to her.

"Yeah, the weather is suppose to be really bad tonight and they don't want to take any chances with tornadoes." She said.

"Oh well, safety first I guess."

2nd Period

I was kinda sad that marching band practice was cancelled today, because I really like it. I was doing my quiz that was given to me in 2nd hour until I hear someone whisper my name. It was Jake. He was one of the biggest fuckboys in school.

"What do you want?" I whisper with a snappy attitude.

"The answers to this quiz." He said smirking.

"Ok well get them from someone else." I hiss back.

"Your going to regret this." He says leaning back into his chair.

Shorty after that, the bell rang to go to 3rd period. I grab my stuff and walk out of the classroom. As I started towards my locker I was stopped by someone shoving me into the lockers. It was Jake. I struggle to get free of his grip, but it just grew tighter.

"You regret not giving me the answers yet, you little slut?" He whispers in my ear.

He lets go of me, then shoves me on the ground, walking away. I pick up my books and head off to my 3rd period. When I got there I noticed Ethan sitting in the desk next to mine. He sees me and waves for me to come over. I walk over and set my stuff down.

"Hey, what happened to your lip?" Ethan asked.

I touch my lip with my index finger, and when I pull away I notice there is blood on it.

"Oh, I tripped and fell on the way here." I lied.

"Oh well, don't you think you should go to the nurse and get some ice." He said looking concerned.

"I'll just go to the bathroom real quick, then go to the nurse after class."

***
Lunch.

I never eat lunch at school, so I just stay in the band room the whole free period, avoiding everyone.

When it was time for 5th period, I put my clarinet up then started to head towards English. I was walking down the hall then someone tripped me, making me fall to the ground.

Not to my surprise, it was Jake. I didn't bother looking at him laughing at me so I just started to pick my stuff up, until he slapped me across the face. Tears start forming in my eyes. No Hayden. You will not let them see you cry. You will not let them get to you. His hand went up in the air as if he was about to punch me, when all of a sudden he was slammed against the lockers.

It was Ethan.

"Don't ever touch her again! You here me?!" He yelled with anger in his eyes. Jake got up trying to look confident, but then just gave me a death glare and walked off, followed by his fuckboy squad.

"Why did you help me?" I asked.

"No one should ever treat a lady like that. Especially one as pretty as you." He said turning towards me, the anger leaving his eyes.

I blush and look down trying to hide my smile. I start to pick up my books, then Ethan picked them up for me.

"Let me walk you to the nurse." He said carrying my books for me.

"I'm fine. I just need to get to class." I said.

"That cut on your lip and cheek says otherwise." He said pointing to them.

I nodded and we walked to the nurse. Why does this guy care about me so much? Why is he being so nice? I'm nothing. I'm nobody. I'm worthless.
