LIVS POV
IN FIRST CLASS

I sit by a guy marcel in this class. he's quiet and doesn't talk much but when he does, he stutters. he also makes almost no eye contact. I decided that today is the day im gonna make him talk.

~~~lunch~~~

I walk over to the table marcel is sitting at by himself. I sit across from him and just look at him for a few minutes, I sort of stalk/observe. he has nice cheek bones and he chews exactly every second. wow im like a stalker.

"Hey im liv" I say
he looks up, surprised that im talking to him. he finishes chewing before he answers
"hi, I-im Marcel" he says
"nice to meet you"
"so are you going to the big pool party on Friday night" I ask and he shakes his head
"nobody invited m-me a-and I d-don't go t-to partys m-much" he says and I smile
"well, now someone invited you" I say and he gives me an awkward half smile.
"I don't think im going" he said
" pleaaaaaaase" I begged
he finally gave in
"ok, ill see you there" he said and I smiled

I got up and hugged him then went to go eat my lunch. when I was 20 feet away, I noticed people calling him names, hurtful names.

MARCELS POV

" nerd" "freak" "ugly" "teachers pet" go die"

these are only some of the things I heard being called at me. I just sat and continued eating my lunch with my head down. I don't know why I dead with this shit. I notice my sleeve going up so I pull it back down, I don't want people to see the tattoos.

then I feel someone sit next to me, im just assume its a bully until they put their chin on my shoulder and ask what book I was reading.

gosh this girl is popular so why is she wasting time on me. when lunch was over she hugged me and we went our separate ways. all I can think is 'this must be some sort of game'
