Emma's POV:

I nervously enter through the cafeteria doors and immediately start searching for a farmiliar face among the large groups of people. I look over near the back doors and I see Zayn waving at me with 4 other guys. I smile and begin walking in their direction.

Once I get there Zayn and the other boys greet me with warm smiles.

"Hey" said Zayn as he scoots over to make room for me.

I slid in next to him "Hi" I said lookind from him to the other boys who were just staring.

Zayn chuckles. "Emma" he said "these are my friends Niall, Harry, Louis, and Liam"

"Hi" said the boys together.

"Hi, I said it's nice to meet you all" I said with a small smile. "I'm Emma"

Suddenly there was a large crash in the far side of the cafeteria which caused us all to turn and look. I gasp as a large guy was shoving a boy into the ground.

"I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO STAY OUT OF MY F****KING WAY CHRIS!!!" the larger guy yelled as the boy began getting up.

"I wasn't in your way" said the boy leaning against the wall for support

"WHAT YOU SAY?"

"I SAID I WASN'T IN YOUR F****KING WAY!!!"

The bully suddenly grabs the boy and slams his face into the ground before turning around and walking away.

I turn back to the guys who were clenching their jaws angrily. "Who was that?" I asked as i glanced back in the bully's direction.

"Jordon Hanz" replied Harry "that guy picks a fight with every person he can get his hands on"

"But that boy was lucky" said Louis "Jordon hardly lets anyone off the hook when they talk back to him"

I look at Zayn then back at the others. "Has he gotten hold of any of you?" I asked curiously.

They all nod quietly.

"The only person he hasn't bothered himself with is Zayn here" said Niall geastering to Zayn.

I look at them and then I get up and walk over to the boy.

"Hey where are you going?" asked Zayn as he watched me walk away.

As I walk closer I notice that nobody even bothered to help him in any way. Not even the school Staff!!! I kneel down and put a hand on his shoulder. "Are you alright?" I ask gently.

The boy looks up at me then quickly turns away. "Why would you care ?" he asked "I'm not worth anything"

I smile warmly at him. "I care because I'm not like the people around here" I said softly.

"Pfh ya right, your probably just like everybody here, you just show people your sorry for them then you just leave and never speak to them again" he said as tears start streaming down his face.

I place a hand under his chin and turn his head gently so that he was looking at me. "Do I really look like the person who would do that?" I ask curiously.

The boy stares at me before bursting out into tears. "I'm sorry" he said " I just see everybody as an enemy because nobody seems to care whenever someone like me gets hurt."

Then without me realizing it I embrace the boy into a tight hug. "I know what that's like trust me" I said as tears began streaming down my face. "That is what my life is mostly like"

The boy does't say anything but he wraps hr arms around me returning the hug.

After a while I pull away and wipe my tears away. "What's your name?" I ask as I get up off the ground.

"My named is David. Yours?"

"It's Emma" I replied offering him a hand. "Do you want to come sit with me and some of my friends?"

David nodded and takes my hand so that I would hoist him up to his feet and I lead him over to the boys. I noticed that every person in the cafeteria was staring at me in disbelief, and pity. wait pity? But I just ignored it and kept walking.


Zayn's POV:

I watched as Emma hugged the kid on the ground and started walking back with him. I look at the guys and noticed them looking at me with huge grins.

"What?" I asked

"Looks like you've got some competition here mate" said Harry

I shake my head in annoyance "there is no competition" I said looking back at Emma as she stops at the table.

"guys" she said "This is David, David this is Niall, Louis, Liam, Zayn, and Harry"

"Hey" said the guys politely.

David gives us a shy smile. "Hey" he said

Emma slides in next to me "go ahead and sit" she said "they won't bite"

Niall grins "maybe" he said making everybody laugh

David smiles and sits in a chair on the other side of Emma with a look of gratitude.

"So David" I said "Do you play any sports?"

"Ya I play quarterback for the school football team." he replied. "What about you?"

I scratch the back of my head "The only sport I've ever really played was soccer with the guys" I said.

"Cool" said David "have you guys considered playing for the school soccer team?"

We all shake out heads.

"We usually just do soccer for fun" said Liam "We're not really into competing in soccer"

David nods. "Understandable" he said then he looks over at Emma. "And you just moved here right?"

Emma nods. "I got here a couple days ago"

"What do you like to do for fun?" I suddenly ask out of the blue.

Her cheeks suddenly turn a light shade of pink. "I usually just go out and sketch" she said but I do like to sing and play the piano or the Guitar"

"You sing?" asked David

Emma nods. "I started doing it after my dad passed away"

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that" I said

Emma shrugs then looks at everyone one at a time. "so what classes do you all have next?" she asks "I have Music next"

I look at her in surprise. "actually me and the guys here do" I said

"Really?"

"Ya, we all sing and Niall can play the guitar"

"What about you David?" asked Emma

David sighs "I have Chemistry with Mrs. Gardener" he replied

Harry chuckles "good luck mate" he said "That woman is not in a good mood today"

I laugh "she never is" I said

Suddenly the bell for the end of lunch starts ringing.

David gets up "well that's my Cue" he said "see you all later." Then with a small wave he walks out of the cafeteria.

"Bye David" we all say as we turn and began making our way to the music room.
