"who are you!" kendall the new boy at school said angrily. betty gathered her flyers. "i am betty, who are you?" she asked back.
"oh right, you are that nerd everyone has been talking about!" kendall said as he shoved in to betty again, knocking her to her feet and knocking the flyers everywhere again. betty sat on the floor close to tears when a shadow blocked her light, looking up she saw tall james again.
"are you alright?" james asked calmly holding his hand out to help betty up to her feet. betty then stood by and watched as james picked the flyers up. "thanks, its james right?" she asked knowing that james was also one of the new students. " im fine thanks." she replied to his question.
with a smile james nodded. "yeah im james, and your betty. i heard a lot about you." he said. betty huffed expecting to hear that james had only heard the horrible comments that her class mates called her.
looking down at the flyer, james noticed it was advertising a school disco. "are you going to this?" he asked as he pointed at the flyer. "no im not" betty replied, her only job was to hand the flyers out, she knew she would only get bullied if she attended the disco.
james looked at her "why not?" he replied. betty was embarrassed to tell james the truth because she thought he was very handsome and didnt want her to know what a dweeb she really was. "i dont have anything to wear!" betty lied.
james flashed betty a smile. "my mom owns a boutique, im sure she could find something for you." he said.
panicking, betty didnt want to allow james to realise what a sadcase she was, she had it drummed in to her all these years from her class mates that she was just no good.
"im fine honestly! just leave me alone" she said, grabbing her flyers and leaving james stood alone.
