" Im gonna kill him." I said storming away. I walked outside and around campus looking for him when I heard his obnoxious laugh. I rolled my eyes and saw he was standing by the bleachers. I walked over there, and they saw me coming. He was with a group of friends.
" Hey you Jackass." I said stepping through his little clique. I looked up at him. He was bigger than me but I wasnt scared. He chuckled.
" What do you want?" He was clearly amused.
" Why in hell did you hit Sandy?" I asked. he rolled his eyes and grinned.
" Because she's annoying." He said.
i gawked.
" But she's your girlfriend!"
" I only use her for her body in bed." He laughed. I winced.
" What?"
" She knows it too."
I thought about it. It does sound like Sandy to date the Captin of the football team, even If he did just wants her body. She just wanted to be popular, and fit in.
" You still shouldn't hit her! She's clotting her bleeding nose and crying as we speak!" I yelled.
" Okay?"
I took a step back, but caught him off guard when I stepped back foward and made contact with his face.
" You bitch!" He spat, holding his cheek. I then felt each of my arms be yanked back by two of the Guys that were standing there the whole time. They flung me to the ground and began to kick me. I tried to get up, only to be kicked back down. I screamed. Grabbing one of their feet, tripping them down and used that to my advantage to stand up and kick the other in the groin.
" Hey!" I heard someone yell. We all stopped and looked behind us to see a figure making they're way over to us. I looked back at the boys and they got up and scrambled away, leaving me standing alone. The closer the person got, I realized it was Mr. Styles.

It was about an hour or so after school and I was tired of grading papers. I collected my belongings and headed towards the door. I walked out of the building to the warm sun and started my walk towards my Range Rover. I looked up as I heard a scream. In the distance, by the bleachers I saw a group of people. I started walking over there, wondering why they were still here at school. as I got closer I realized it was three boys and a girl. Maria. I started to run.
" Hey!" I yelled. They all paused, and Maria stood on her feet. She looked hurt. The three boys scrambled away as they saw who it was and Maria was standing there, watching as I came up to her.
" What the hell happened?!" I asked. I didn't mean to curse. She didnt respond. She just started crying. I noticed there was blood dripping down her chin from a busted lip and bruises starting to form on her body. I noticed one under her eye.
" Shh, don't cry." I draped my arm around her shoulders and led her towards the school. All the staff was gone except the janitors, so I walked her in and took her to the nurse's office. She hasn't spoken a word yet. She just wiped away her tears as I sat her down. I quickley got a napkin to wipe the blood off her and put rubbing alcohol on some smaller cuts on her face. I tucked a strand of hair behind her ear as I cupped her face in my hands. Even in this condition, she still managed to look beautiful.
" Maria, your going to have to tell me what happened." I said. She only shook her head no. I gave her a serious look.
she rolled her eyes.
" T-They hurt Sandy, so I found them, waiting for an explanation. He said some bad things about her and I couldn't help but slap him. That's when they started beating me and cursing at me." She said. I can't believe anyone could ever hurt Maria. I couldn't help but hug her. She hugged me back, digging her face into me to cry. It didnt even bother me that I would have tear stains on my shirt. I just didnt want to let go. I comforted her.
" Shh, you did the right thing, standing up for you bestfriend. But You shouldn't have slapped him though." I said. She pulled away, looking at me.
" Mr. Styles he-"
" Call me Harry. We're not in school hours."
She nodded.
" Mr. S.. Harry, he gave Sandy a bloody nose, and he was being mean to me. I didn't mean to. I felt like I was auto pilot." She said. I loved the way she said my name. I studied her face. I could tell she was telling the truth. I stepped back, letting her hop off the counter.
" Let me drive you home, so I can explained to your parents what happ-"
" No. My mom doesn't need to know."
" How are you going to hide it from her?" I asked. She shrugged.
" I'll find a way. And I'll just walk. I didn't drive to school today, my mom dropped me off."
I smiled.
" All the more reason to let me drive you. C'mon now. I don't bite." I said walking out of the nurses office. I heard her follow behind me and speed up to catch me. We got into my Rover and I pulled out of the parking lot and to her house. We didnt speak at all. Only when she told me which direction to go.

He saved me. And then he cleaned me up. He was so sweet.
" Take a right." I said. He nodded and turned onto my road.
" It's this one." I said pointing. He stopped outside my flat and I got out.
" Thank you Harry." I said. He nodded.
" Of course. I'll see you tomorrow Maria."
" You too." I walked up the path and into my house. He only drove away when he saw I was inside. I ran upstairs to check myself out in the mirror. I looked horrible. I winced at my own touch.
" Maria, is that you?" I heard my mom yell.
" Yeah it's me!" I yelled back. I walked out of my bathroom and sprawled out on my bed. I just wanted to take a long nap.
