My Girl

New Kid-Ch.1

Henry P.O.V

How could one class feel so long? I thought to myself, as I kept my eyes on the clock that hung on the wall above the classroom door. "Henry!" Ms. Shapen yelled, in her usual annoying loud voice.

"Yes," I asked, pulling my attention back to her, and her class.

"What's the square root of 3969?" She asked, still yelling. I scrunched my eyebrows in confusion, I could have sworn this was history, I looked around looking for something, or someone to help me with this epidemic. That's when I saw her hand go up, Thank you Charlotte! Ms. Shapen turned her attention to Charlotte. "What?" She asked in a whinny voice.

"Um… Ms. Shapen, this is history. And the answer is 63," she turned to me, and gave me thumbs up. I mouthed the words 'thank you' to her. She turned her body back to a confused looking Ms. Shapen.

"Oh…are you sure?"

"Uh…yeah, very."

"Huh," she said as she pulled out a voice recorder, "not to self: I teach history." Everyone in the class stared at her, until she turned back to me, "so, Henry, what ended when 1895 started?" I looked back at Charlotte, she was about to say something, but Ms. Shapen put her index finger in her face. "No Charlotte, I want to see what Henry has to say." That's when sweat droplets started to form, and my throat immediately went dry.

"Uh…um…18-1894?" I stammered. Before Ms. Shapen could yell at me for being an idiot, someone knocked on the classroom door. Saved by the…door knocker? I thought to myself, chuckling at my almost perfect wordplay.

"Jasper! Open the door!" Ms. Shapen yelled to Jasper, whom sat at the back on the classroom, presumably sat there so Ms. Shapen wouldn't be too annoyed by him.

Once Jasper opened the door he yelled, "There's some kid here, I think he's new, or something!" At that everyone in the class, including myself turned to see the "fresh meat".

"Hey," the kid said, "my name's Marcus, and I'm new here, obviously, and I'm from Cali—"that's all he could get out before being rudely interrupted by Ms. Shapen.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Just take a seat," she said as she waved her arm in a dismissive way, and turned to face the white board behind her. We watched as he scanned the room, looking for an empty seat. He scanned over 4 empty seats, and then he got to the seat next to Charlotte. I saw as his eyes light up, and a smile grew on his face. He walked slowly to the seat next to Charlotte, and smoothly slid into the seat. What the hell? I thought to myself, when he turned his face to Charlotte.

Charlotte P.O.V

Out of all the fucking seats, why'd he have to choose mine? I thought to myself as Marcus sat down next to me. I'm not usually socially awkward, but he's…hot. "Hey," he said in a deep voice, sort of pubescent voice. "H-hi," I stuttered in response. He smiled at me, relieving white teeth covered with a set of blue braces.

"You know, you're cute," he said still smiling at me.

A small "thank you," is all I could get out, before Ms. Shapen finally started "teaching". From this time to the end of the class nothing eventful happened, except for the fact that I caught Marcus staring at me, and Henry and Jasper staring intently at him. Geez, what's that all about? Was all I could think about throughout the entire class.

When the bell finally rang we all ran out of that classroom.

Jasper P.O.V

Right when the bell rang Henry and I ran out the door, and waited for Charlotte to exit the class so we could head to lunch, as we usually did. "Hey Char, are you ready to go to lunch?" I asked when I saw Charlotte finally leave the class.

"Yeah, just wait a second, I have to head to my locker first."

"OK, I'll go over with you," I said as I followed her to her locker. "Henry, can you head into the cafeteria, and find us some seats!" I yelled when we got to the locker.

"You got it dude!" He yelled with a smile, and his right thumb up, while running to the cafeteria.

Charlotte started to open her locker, when she said, "Jasper, you know you don't have to keep on doing this. I promise you, I'm going to be OK. What happened was months ago—"Before she could finish, I cut her off.

"It doesn't matter how long ago it was, it still happened. No matter what, I'm going to protect you."

"Jasper, I don't need protection 24/7. Eventually, you're not going to be able to be here for me all the time."

"Until that time comes, I'm going to be there for you, no matter what."

No matter what, I'm going to be there for her. After what happened, I can't, not be there for her.

{Flashback}

Exactly 5 months ago, Charlotte and I were hanging out at my house, Bob's Burgers, while Henry and Ray were out fighting crime.

"I'm telling you, Zendaya is going to be Mary Jane," she said while shoving popcorn in her mouth.

"No, it's been confirmed that she'll be playing Michelle, unless Marvel wants to pull some shit out of their ass, she's not going to be MJ," I said while slurping on a slushy we got at a gas station, before coming over to my house.

"I bet you $30 bucks-no $40 bucks that Zendaya is going to be MJ. It's just going to be revealed at the end or something," she said as she grabbed my drink from my hand, and sucked whatever was left from it.

"Hey, I was drinking that," I said while doing a long pouty face.

She held up her finger in my face, while she swallowed what she had in her mouth. "I…don't…care," she said with a sly smile on her face. I just laughed, and continued watching the show.

After a few minutes, the slushy caught up to me. "Hey, Char, I'm going to take a waz," I said to her as I walked upstairs to where the bathroom was. I got to the bathroom, shut the door, and immediately started to pat my pocket for my phone. 'Crap.' I thought when I couldn't find it. I walked around upstairs to see if it fell out of my pocket up there. Since I couldn't find it, I walked downstairs, not expecting the disturbing seen that I was met with.

Charlotte Flashback P.O.V

When Jasper went upstairs, I started to walk into his kitchen, looking for something to eat. I opened the fridge, the cabinets, and his freezer. 'Awe man, there's nothing to eat' I thought before shutting his freezer, and turning around. When I turned around, I was met with a grown man, probably three meters tall, with a long dirty beard, and a long greasy hair. "Um…hi?" I said, fear and concern in my voice. He just stood there staring at me, then, he charged. He hit me in the lip, and then really hard in the stomach. I fell to the ground, and started to tear up, that's when he picked me up, and flung me over his shoulder, like I was nothing.

"You're coming with me," he said in a gruff, deep, raspy voice. I tried hitting his back, but it didn't stop him. He was almost out of the door, when Jasper came back down. He looked at my face, and I could see panic and anger rush over him. Without any hesitation, he started to run at the guy, with full speed. He started by just stomping on his foot with all of his might. The guy screamed, and let go of me to tend to his foot. Before I could hit the ground Jasper caught me, and placed me down far away from the guy. He turned back around to face the guy, he ran at him, and started to punch him in the gut and in the face with all he had. The guy did try to fight back, but failed miserably. Jasper was high on adrenalin, and wasn't going to stop fighting until this guy was long gone. A few more jabs to the face, sent the guy running.

"Charlotte…call…the cops," he said taking heavy breathes in between, I ran to the nearest phone, dialed 999, and told them what happened. After a few minutes, they came, took down our statements, and our descriptions of the guy. They said they'd tell us if they found anything. To this day, they have found nothing.

Ever since that happened, Jasper has become like the protective big brother that I've never had. I love him for that, but sometimes, it's too much.

{Flashback over}

Jasper P.O.V

"OK, fine. Just, take it easy sometimes, ok?" She asked with pleading eyes.

I sighed, "Ok, I'll take it easy. So, in honor of taking it easy, I guess I'll meet you at the lunch table, and I won't walk you to and from the lunch line, unless…you want me to?" I said, basically begging her to say yes.

Charlotte rolled her eyes, and smiled, "yes, you can still walk me to and from the lunch line Jasper, now go." She said while playfully shooing me away. I laughed and started to walk away.

She's going to be fine.

Charlotte P.O.V

I laughed, and shook my head. Gotta love Jasper. I grabbed the books I needed, but before I could leave I felt someone tap my shoulder, I quickly turned around to be met with Marcus.

"Hey, I'm sorry, I don't know if you remember me, but it's Marcus from your last class." How could I forget, that class ended less than 5 minutes ago.

"Oh, yeah I remember you. I didn't formally introduce myself. My name is Charlotte, it's great to meet you…again," I chuckled. He chuckled back.

"Nice to meet you too, Charlotte."

"So…what did you need?"

"Huh?" He asked sounding confused.

"You tapped me on my shoulder, so I just assumed you needed something."

"Oh yeah, I just wanted to tell you I thought you were beautiful. And I was wondering, if you wanted to go out sometime."

Oh.

A/N:

I really hope you guys are enjoying the story so far, I'm going to try to update every week or two, school is a factor, but summer is coming soon. Just so you guys know, Jasper and Charlotte's relationship is completely platonic, as said in they're like brother and sister. Jasper will have a love interest later on though. Hope you have a great day, talk to you all later, bye.
