“My name’s Mitchell” he smiled
“I’m April, also known as emo chick”
“I think I’ll just call you April. Who pushed you off the stairs?”
“It was that dark haired girl”
“Does she have short straight hair?”
“Yeah”
“Oh, that’s Misty” he chuckled. I couldn’t help thinking about how good looking he was. “I think we should probably get going”
“Yeah” as usual, I was only giving one word answers. I limped up the stairs because of my injury. His arms were around me and I noticed that I wasn’t on the ground anymore until we reached the top of the stairs. “Thanks” I smiled at him and this time it was actually a sincere smile.
We were the last two to enter the class and all eyes were on us.
“Please take your seats” the maths teacher didn't seem very pleased with us coming late to class. Mitchell took a seat next to me.
“So how did you get that bruise?” Mitchell asked, looking concerned
“Misty and her friends just beat me up and I fell and got this bruise”
“Oh, well, I’ll protect you from now on. Misty is just a really hard person to communicate with, but once you get in, she treats you like an actual person”. That kind of reminded me of myself but I don’t beat people up. “I’ll be your very own bodyguard”
“You are now dubbed April’s Bodyguard” I laughed
“Mitchell Bodyguard at your service me lady” the way he said it actually made me laugh really hard that I completely forgot that we were in Maths class.
“Mitchell, April, principal’s office. NOW!” Mr Pee, the maths teacher yelled at us.
Walking to the principals office was fun, I had basically laughed all the way to the office. I never thought that my mouth still had laughter that actually came out.
During interval I hung out with Mitchell. I had completely forgotten about the whole Danny thing until I saw him coming up the stairs.
“April, there you are” he waved at me.
“Hello Daniel, this is Mitchell, he’s in my maths class”
“Hi Mitchell” they exchanged handshakes and looking at Daniel just made me feel very uncomfortable.
“Sorry guys, I need to go to the bathroom” I ran down the stairs and tried to look for the bathroom.
“Hey guys, look, its April” It was Misty and her gang. I wanted to run away, but there wasn’t anywhere to run to. Misty pulled my long black hair and pulled out scissors from her bag and was about to cut my hair. I tried really hard to pull away, but she was stronger than me. The scissors was on my hair and I saw long bits fall to the ground. Something that also fell to the ground was my tears.
“Misty, what do you think you are doing?” Mitchell pushed her away from me
“Sorry. Come on girls, let’s leave” Misty and the other girls left. As soon as I saw Mitchell I put my arms around him without even knowing because I was so scared.
“Your hair will grow back” he said, wiping away my tears
“Its not supposed to be short, I haven’t cut it in 7 years”
“Why?”
“You won’t understand. Thanks, for coming”
“Its okay, I’m your bodyguard after all” he smiled
