"So what happened with Cris Tasker? Did she finally have the courtesy to let you go Bit?"
"No I ran away from her."
Bit loved to hear her laugh. (A/N: I forgot what it sounded like so you know…) It filled the air, it filled the room, it filled his heart.
Leena had stopped laughing and Bit saw her looking behind him. He followed her gaze and saw Naomi frantically screaming for her.
"Maybe I should go to her. It must be important if she's screaming like a lunatic."
Naomi saw Leena coming closer and started to sprint towards her.
"LEENA! THIS IS BAD!"
"What could be so bad?"
"Okay you know how I said that if you look like you have a boyfriend, Harry would get jealous, back off and leave you alone?"
"Well yeah, why? I think it's working."
"It won't! You know how Harry is! He might be jealous, but he won't back off! He'll only try harder and harder to get you!"
Leena's eyes widened. "Oh no, but what am I supposed to do? I already made it look like Bit is already my boyfriend."
"Really? When?"
"When I was at my locker right before leaving school."
"Oh… can you just not hang out with Bit?"
"But…" Leena staggered at her words. She wanted to hang out with Bit. Not just hang out, but to be with Bit at every moment.
"I don't know what you are going to do about it. But I assure you, Harry will stop at nothing to get you all to himself, and Bit out of the picture."
Leena was left alone as Naomi left her confused and unstable.
"Something wrong?"
Leena didn't want to tell Bit. She didn't want him to find out. "Oh, no. Not really."
~*~*~=+@+=~*~*~
"Leena, you are late to class again. What's your excuse this time?"
Leena's science teacher stood above her. He was very strict and severe, but was still a great teacher.
"I'm sorry, it's Harry again."
"Him again," sighed Bit.
The teacher's eyes looked between her books to find two boxes of chocolate between them.
"Oh I see, very well then. Please take your seat."
On her way to her seat she smiled at Bit. Bit smiled back and Cris quickly interfered with anything more.
"So Bit, where'd you go yesterday?"
Bit reluctantly answered Cris. "Oh, just into town."
"Alone?"
Bit quickly lied. "Yes, alone."
"Why don't I show you around today?"
"No that's really okay, I have plans today!"
Cris leaned back in her seat in annoyance, as Leena watched in hope.
'Wow,' she thought. 'Does he really care so much about me that he refuses to be with any other girl besides me and perhaps Naomi?' She snapped out of her dreams and entered the reality world. What seemed like eternity passed by, and then she entered her thoughts again.
'But she is Cris Tasker. There's nothing really special about her. I don't see him turning down any other girls…'
The bell rang, and everybody rapidly left the room.
~*~*~=+@+=~*~*~
Leena hurriedly rushed through the hallways trying to avoid everybody, even Naomi and Bit. Naomi watched her from the doorway.
"Is there something wrong with Leena?"
Naomi jumped at the voice, but when she turned around she found Bit with a depressed and worried expression on his face.
"So is there something wrong with Leena?"
"No." Naomi started walking away.
Bit followed. "Be honest with me, please. I need to know what's bothering her."
"It's nothing" She increased her speed.
He still trailed her closely. "It's Harry isn't it?"
"Partially."
"Then it's me."
Naomi stopped in her tracks. But before she could say anything Bit already did.
"So it is me."
"No, I never said-"
"You don't have to explain." He slowly started walking away.
"BIT WAIT!"
~*~*~=+@+=~*~*~
Leena was so unsure of herself, so confused. She didn't want or need anyone to bother her today, not even to talk to her. She decided to have lunch alone outside. It was fairly nice out. The cool wind softly chilled her face as the air around her gently warmed her body.
She took out a sandwich and was about to take a bite out of it when someone, something called out, "Why would he love you though? He is already as popular as you are. Bit can have his pick of any girl the same way you can have yours."
She shook her head, but no matter how many times she tried to snap out of it she couldn't escape her dream.
"He can love me." Leena paused. "It's his choice."
"What if you are not his choice? There are still hundreds of girls in the school…"
"SHUT THE HELL UP!"
Her eyes bolted open, sweat dripping down her forehead. She was relieved to find no one near her. She could imagine what would have happened if there were though. She was about to take a bite out of her sandwich, but she found that she had lost her appetite. She put the sandwich back into the bag and just sat there. She would forever be haunted by that voice. She just hoped it would never speak to her again.
She heard a rustle in the bushes and a delicate flower gently landed in her lap. It was if it was a sign, but she denied it immediately. She still felt depressed, even more than before. She let the flower float away with the next breeze and calmly moved under a tree where she closed her eyes and thought of the one person she would do anything to be with…
~*~*~=+@+=~*~*~
Bit was walking steadily through the hallways. Other students continued to push and shove, but he felt nothing at the moment. He didn't care if they pushed him, he didn't care if he was late for class. He only cared about Leena. Was he the reason why she was so depressed? Was he making her suffer rather than making her happy? He was so lost in his thoughts that he bumped straight into one of the last people he wanted to see.
They both dropped their books. Bit stared straight into the eyes of Harry.
"You!" He quickly got up and grabbed Bit by his jacket. "What did you do to Leena? She's been acting very strangely since you got here!"
Bit felt no desire to fight back. A crowd of students started to gather around them.
"I didn't do anything, and even if I did it wouldn't be any of your business."
Harry was enraged. He slammed Bit back to the floor and punched him several times in the side of the face and stomach. He shut his eyes as pain surged though his body. "Listen Ben or Brad or whatever your name is, don't you dare go near Leena at all. You hear me bastard?"
Bit shot up to Harry's surprise and pinned him to the wall. "I hear you just fine bastard. By the way, the name's Bit Cloud. Get it straight."
A path cleared and Bit feared what was walking up it. It was a tall person with brown hair. He stood staring at him and Harry.
"I heard my name Harry. What do you want?"
Bit gazed back and forth from what he guessed was a senior and Harry's shocked expression.
"Get out of here Harry before I get the principal, and everyone clear off before we attract a school administrator if not already."
Everyone obediently listened and walked away as Harry escaped his grasp and ran off. Bit collapsed against the wall onto the floor, half exhausted, half fearing what would come next. The young man's hand was held out. He couldn't talk so he shook his head, which only made his condition worse. He leaned back in confusion.
"Bit! Are you okay?" He kneeled next to him.
Bit couldn't answer. He couldn't think. He just started to drown in a pool of pain. He had to answer though, and as he tried he struggled with his words.
"How-" He clenched his teeth as the pain shot through him again. "How do you now my name?" He was fighting a losing battle now. "Who are you?"
"That's not important. You really shouldn't have asked. You know he's suffering."
It was a different voice, but he recognized it. "J- Jaime?"
"Bit, don't even try to talk. It's only hurting you more. I got Leon Toros to go get the nurse and principal. Harry is definitely going to pay for this."
"Yeah, he's definitely in deep shit now."
"Toros?" Bit barely managed to whisper. Everything in his body was shutting down. Nearly passing out he mouthed, 'Leena…'
~*~*~=+@+=~*~*~
Leena opened her eyes in shock. Naomi was shaking her severely. She was about to curse at her, but when she saw her shocked expression on her face her thoughts changed.
"What's wrong N-"
"Bit is really hurt. He just took a beating from Harry. He used up all his strength to fight back."
"That son of a bitch. How dare he fight for nothing, and get Bit hurt in the process. I'll kill that bastard. Take me to him."
"Sure. But just so you know it wasn't for nothing." Naomi saw Leena enter a state of confusion. "It was for you."
"Oh no… no, not about me. Why me…" She gradually slowed down and finally sank to the ground. Naomi pulled on her wrist but she wouldn't budge.
"You must get to Bit. Get up now."
"No, I can't… I can't see him…"
"Why not, he's your friend isn't he?"
"That's exactly why. He's hurt because of me. Only me…"
"Harry's a real asshole. It's his fault, not yours."
"IT'S ALL MY FREAKING FAULT!" She started to cry. Her head was pounding. Her heart lay dead. "LEAVE ME HERE TO SUFFER! GO SEE THAT BIT IS OKAY!"
Naomi was shocked to see her best friend (A/N: once again PRETEND they're friends) break down and cry like that. It reached deep into her soul.
"LEENA!"
She continued to cry as Naomi whipped her head around. "Oh no…"
"Don't cry! I'm okay! That stupid Bit will stay away from you for go-"
Naomi's knuckles were covered in crimson. She gaped and screamed at what she had just done. What just happened? Did she really do that?
Harry staggered backwards and fell to the ground, clutching his face as deep red blood poured from his nose and mouth.
Naomi was herself, but for once she wasn't calm and cool. She was enraged. "That's for everything you did Harry Champ. How dare you hurt Leena like that? How dare you hurt Bit… you bastard." Her fists clenched and her nails were digging into her palms. "And you know what else? I don't care if I get suspended or anything like that because now you can feel at least part of the pain Bit and Leena are suffering."
Harry was still bleeding heavily. He panted constantly, but he still heard what she said. "Leena's mine, and will forever be mine. She will be with me someday!"
"Never will she be with you. Especially after this." Naomi walked away, dragging Leena along with her, leaving Harry there to bleed whatever was left in his dead heart.
~*~*~=+@+=~*~*~
"Please Leena get up! It's really hard for me to drag you, and I'm afraid that I'm getting you some bruises."
"I told you I don't want to see him. All for me…"
Naomi sighed and continued to drag her. She was almost there. Maybe Brad could help her, or Leon. She left her in a quiet area where she wouldn't disrupt any classes. They had started about thirty minutes ago. She ran to get Brad and Leon but no one was there. She walked back to where Leena was, but she was gone. She looked all around but she didn't see her.
'Where could she have gone…'
She realized her hand was still covered in blood, which transformed from crimson to bronze. "Maybe it would be a good idea to wash that off," she muttered.
She was about to enter the girls bathroom when…
"HOLD IT MISS FLUEGEL!"
She halted and whirled around to find a bloody Harry and the principal right next to him. She could only say one word to herself…
"Shit…"
