Death and Life

No one liked Death. She wasn't normal nor was she the girl with similar interests. The only person or more like the person that has all the friends was Life. Life was the most popular guy in school. Death has always had a small, secret crush on him. He accepted her but they rarely talked.

Ah yes, now back to reality. Some guys decided to jump her on her way home.

"Hey hot stuff, where you off to in such a hurry?" One male asked.

Death ignored him. All she wanted was to get home. She couldn't move though, one male was holding onto her arm.

"Wow you guys are losers. Corner a girl on her way home, really?" A new voice said.

"What's it to you? Fuck off." The first male said.

"Oh nothing. You do what you do. I'm just saying that what you are doing is just one of those crappy movie clichés." The voice said.

"You know what, we're gone. You take her, Life." The male said then the gang ran off.

Death had fallen and Life had walked over to help her up. Death could feel her face heating up.

"Thanks."
