Hello, I'm Casey Connor, in case you haven't already guessed. The first two weeks of the school year are even miserable for me, but I'm going to tell how it all changed.

I walked into class and I heard there was a new student. I didn't catch her name because Zeke threw me against the wall and sat in his seat. So she walked over to me. She was pretty. Her hair was a long dark brown almost black color. And she was of medium height. And she wasn't fat at all. She crouched down in her long black skirt, which most girls wouldn't do no matter what they were wearing.

"Oh, are you alright? Let me help you. I'm Rose," she said helping me up.

"Casey," I said still in pain. She could sense it in my voice.

"Sit down, Mr. Connor," the teacher told me.

"Well, he's a real witch and I've only been here less than five minutes," she whispered. "You're cute, I like your eyes."

"Thanks I guess," I replied. We both walked to our seat. Mr. Kay walked over to me.

"Casey, there's something I noticed about you. You're always letting people push you to the ground," he said.

Then someone shouted, it was probably Zeke, "No, he's just weak!" And he was right, I was.

Rose sat behind me, "I'll protect you, Casey." She smiled.
