My alarm went off a 7am the next day. I was lying against something which I thought was the wall. When I opened my eyes I saw that Cody was beside me. Hold on a minute. Did I fall out of my bed last night again? No I'm in my own bed. I shook him awake.

"Cody, it's time to get up. We've got school today." I said.

"Noooo." He said. Clearly not a morning person. I pushed him out of my bed and he landed on his own.

"Toniiii" he said in the same voice. He just lay there.

"Cody, I'm going to start changing. Just giving you the heads up." I said and got out of the bed and started to take my pyjamas off. After yesterday I didn't really care. We both opened up to each other. I was just about finished putting my uniform on when I turned around and saw Cody staring at me.

"What?" I asked.

"Tell me again why you feel insecure about your body? Because you have no need to be." He said. I blushed.

"Get up and get your clothes on" I said. He smiled. I made my bed and his bed while he changed, trying to keep my eyes of him.

So, Cody tell me how you ended up in my bed?" I asked a hint of smirk in my voice.

"Well...umm...it was really cold last night and I hate the cold...so...Umm...Yeah" that was his answer.

"Sure, that's why." I replied, clearly teasing him. He just laughed. He's finished getting dressed. It was quite warm outside so he'd rolled the sleeves of the white shirt up to his elbow and didn't bother putting his jumper on. He just left it there so I put it in his over the shoulder schoolbag.

'Night Toni, Love you' what? Why did that just pop into my head. I pushed it aside as I made toast with jam for me, Adam and Cody for breakfast. Mum had already left for work.

"Here" I said eat up. We all ate our food and got our stuff and waited outside for the bus.

"So, where is our school?" asked Cody.

"It's in the next town beside us" I said. "Don't worry it's only like five miles."

The bus finally got here and we all got on. I immediately spotted Lily and Peter at the very back.

"Hey Guy's" I greeted them and sat in the seat in front and turned around to see them. Cody sat beside me. The look on their faces said it all. They never thought that they'd see a hot guy following me like a puppy and that was basically what Cody was doing. I don't care though. He's like my best friend now. He turned around to introduce himself to Peter and Lily.

"Hi, I'm Cody Simpson." He stuck his hand out and shook their hands. They still couldn't speak.

"That is Lily" I said pointing to her. "And that is Peter "

"Hi" they both said. Really?

"Toni! Since when have you got a hot guy watching your every move?" Lily asked. She's just straight to the point. That's what I like about her.

"Umm...Since Saturday night." I replied.

"And why?" asked Peter. He was my only guy friend. I loved him to bits.

I looked at Cody. Should I tell them the real reason? He gave me a look. I guess that's a no then. What do I say?

"Cool guys. Loving how you're so polite towards him." I said.

"Well my mum knows Toni's mum and my family are going away for a while and I couldn't go so Toni's mum agreed to let me stay with them until they get back." Cody explained smoothly. He saved my life. They looked confused but nodded anyway. We both turned back around not wanting to be asked anything else and joked the whole way to school. Acting like how we've been acting all weekend. I think that Lily and Peter were shocked. There's a new person in the group.

It was lunch time. I'd told Cody where to meet us to eat since we don't eat in the cafeteria, it was too crowded. I'd just left English which was the only class that I didn't have with Cody.

"Boo" he said coming to sit beside me even though I could clearly see him walking up the stairs towards us.

"How's your first day going so far?" I asked. Peter and Lily were both in their own conversation. Probably about Cody. They don't seem to like him very much.

He laughed "Well, I got told of by Mrs. Donaghy for not having any books even though it's not my fault. Mr Ramsay seems nice although he made stand up in front of the class and introduce myself. Some random girl must have known about me. She asked in front of everyone if I was famous. Of course I laughed and told her she was crazy and that I'm just a normal person. Oh and I've been asked out three times.

"Wow, you've had more action in this school in three hours than I have in four years." I said."Three times?"

"Out of everything I said you ask me about that?" he replied in disbelief. "Just eat"

We began eating. I couldn't wait to get home. It's near the end of the school year so I won't have any homework tonight. Thank the Lord, I get to rest tonight.

"Can we do something tonight? I don't want to sit around, I'm too restless." He asked. Well there goes my plan. Peter and Lily had stopped talking to each other and were listening to us.

"If you really want too. There's not a lot to do around here." I replied.

"Even if we go for a walk or something I don't mind." I knew he was looking for something to take his mind of his mum.

"Why would you want to go for a walk" Peter asked "Boringggg" he said pulling out the 'G'.

"Why wouldn't I? Walking is good for you and it can help clear your mind." Cody said.

"What have you got to think about? Pretty Boy like you has nothing to worry about unless it's about getting their next shag. I guess Toni's the next on your list huh?" Peter spat. Cody looked at the ground but didn't say anything.

"Peter...Why are you saying this? You know nothing about him or what he's been through." I said calmly to him.

"What? And you do?" Peter asked. "You've known him for how long? Since Saturday night, right? And you think you know everything about him."

"No, I don't know everything about him but I know a hell of a lot more than you do." I shouted at him. Cody was just sitting there. Saying nothing. Why?

I got up and grabbed Cody's hand not wanting to be in their company anymore. I dragged him down the stairs and outside and sat him on the bench. He still wouldn't look up. I knelt down in front of him.

"Cody? How come you didn't defend yourself?" I asked. He still didn't look at me.

"I was afraid that it would happen all over again" he whispered. So that is why. I sat down beside him and brought him into a hug.

"That's never going to happen again Cody. Not while you're with me. I promise." I whispered back.

That was all he needed to send him into sobs. "No-one has ever been here for me like you have Toni."
