Chapter 1
The Protector
Rachel's POV
I was sitting in class when my teacher announced to everyone,
"Everyone stop what you're doing and welcome Nico Di Angelo. Please introduce yourselfs."
He was a skrawny emo kid, skinny, but weird looking. Once the cycle got to me I said
"Rachel-Rachel Elizabeth Dare."
"so I can call you red?" he asked me. I blushed with anger and ayyonance. Everyone laughed at his ridiculous joke.
"No! Listen don't you ever-"
"That's enough Rachel"
After class we all went to lunch.
"Give me your lunch money Dare!" It was Danus. He bully anyone if he could.
"NO!" I screamed. He grabbed my arm and pulled me in the gym.
"Give it now. We can do this the easy way or hard. You choose."
I tried to move but he was holding me down.
"STOPP" I yelled. He punched me in the stomach and I yelped. I was crying now, acting like a stupid little kid.
"HEY!" Somebody yelled out of the corner in the gym. Danus let me go and I fell hard on the floor. My whole face was red and tears fell from cheeks on to the ground.
The last thing I remember was a little emo kid beating up Danus. This usaully never happens. Before I blacked out I recognized it was Nico. I woke up in the nurses office.
"What happened?" I asked the nurse who was on her computer playing what looked like "The Hardest Game 2" .
"That young man saved your day. You got beat up by a…..Dewis, I think."
"Danus" I corrected angrily. Then I looked to my right to see Nico grinning at me.
"Uh..thanks, Nico. How'd you find me?" I asked quietly.
"I saw Danus grab your arm and take you to the gym. I heard you scream and I ran after you."
Even though I hated him I guess this was his way of saying sorry.
"You two go back to class please." Nico and I headed to class.
"You have a black eye you know." Nico told me.
"WHAT!" I screamed and ran to the bathroom. My stomach was purple and black. My eye looked like a purple galaxy.
"RACHEL!" Nico signaled me to go back.
"I look horrible!" I whined.
"The nurse told me to put this cream on your face."
"You? Does it have to be you? Oh...Whatever just smudge some on my face. Not to hard though." I was anxious and nervous about Nico touching my face. He looked into my eyes deeply. I got lost, it sounds weird but I noticed his eyes looked black. Or maybe dark-dark brown? He squirted some cream on his fingertip and gently touched my face. My face tingled and I felt fuzzy inside. NOOO I thought. I can't like Nico, how weird am I?
Once he stopped we both stared at each other. He smirked at me and I gave him an awkward smile.
"Hey Rachel? You have really pretty ey-"
"WHAT ARE YOU 2 DOING" I guess our math teacher was expecting us to go to class.
"We better go." Nico whispered in my ear. He then grabbed my hand and we ran to class.
