It was lunchtime finally. English was uneventful, I made it to class and we ended up just watching the movie version of Othello.

I was sitting at the lunch table with Valerie when a big blond guy wearing a letterman jacket came up to us.

"Hey dweeb, heard you were dissing my lady"

"and you are?" I asked uninterested.

"Dash Baxter, you better apologize for your manners bitch"

"Excuse me?" I asked standing up, my eyes had become daggers stabbing Dash right in the face.

I may be small but I can still be intimidating.

"Hey Dash leave her alone!" I heard a voice say. It was Danny.

"Defending your new goth freak girl friend huh, Fentoad?"

"I am not his girlfriend!"
"She is not my girlfriend" We said simultaneously.

"Back off Danny," I spat out.

"I can handle myself and fight my own battles.

"And you, Get. The. Fuck. out of my face before I destroy yours, I may be small but I could easily break your nose with one hit. Don't try me." My words came out sharp cutting right through Dash's tough act.

The two of them stood there stunned for a second.

"Now if you don't mind I am going to sit down and finish my lunch thank you very much" I gave them a smile and sat back down to a stunned Valerie.

"Whatever, freak." Dash said walking away.

"Are you crazy? Trying to take on Dash he is like twice your size!" Danny exclaimed.

"And are you deaf? Did you hear me tell you that I can handle myself so don't start trying to defend me when I don't your help!" I was starting to get angry with Danny. I can handle myself, I'm not helpless.

"Damn Sam you are tough as nails!" Tucker said trying to diffuse the tension between Danny and I.

"Yea at one point Dash even took a step back because it looked like your were going to attack his ass!" Valerie said laughing.

I smiled back at her.

"Hey want to come with us to Nasty Burger after school today?" Tucker asked.

"Sure" I replied.

Danny sat there looking puzzled and a tad angry.

The rest of lunch went on without incident thankfully, it was mostly just Tucker and Valerie flirting and Danny and I quietly eating our lunches.

When I got to the Nasty Burger Danny was waiting outside. Where were Valerie and Tucker?

"Hey…" Danny started to scratch the back of his neck nervously.

"Where are Valerie and Tucker?" I asked.

"Well Valerie is inside but that's because she works here and Tucker went home to grab something for his PDA but his mom made him stay home to do chores that he didn't do."

So it was going to be just Danny and me. Great.

We ordered our food and sat down.

"Salad? What no burger?" Danny asked.

"I'm an ultra-recyclo-vegitarian, I don't eat anything that has a face." I said plainly.

Danny smiled.

"That's really cool, just don't tell Tucker. He practically breaths meat." He said with a chuckle and continued to eat his burger.

"Hey Danny" I said, he looked up.

"I'm sorry about today. I'm not really used to having someone be there to stick up for me…"

"Don't worry about it, I guess I'm used to sticking up for people when it looks like there in trouble, its kind of my thing." He said smiling to himself.

Then his phone started buzzing.

"Hey Tuck, no, we're still at the Nasty Burger… got it… be there as soon as I can." Danny said then hung up. Danny's eyebrows were a bit crunched up.

"Everything okay?" I asked a bit worried as Danny started to get up.

"Uh yea…. He just needs some help with his chores."

"Okay, have fun with those." I said slightly smiling but my eyes still showing the confusion.

Once Danny left I cleaned up my food and started to leave when the door was blocked by a certain blond blockhead.

"Now that Fenterd is gone no one will get in the way of me teaching you a lesson freak. Usually I don't hit girls but for you I will make an exception." Dash said menacingly.

He pulled his arm back but before he could finish his punch I stomped my heel on his foot.

"Agh!"

"I'm warning you Dash, leave me alone and I will leave your face the way it is."

Dash went to attack again, but the second after he raised his arm to hit me it was done. I quickly raised the palm of my hand quickly up to his nose. I heard a small crack.

"AH YOU BITCH! YOU BROKE MY NOSE!" He yelled.

"I warned you." I said walking away. Everyone was silent, except for Dash who was wailing over his nose.

I got in my car and went home to relax. Tomorrow was going to be a handful, I could just tell. I probably shouldn't have broken his nose but he was asking for it. I went up to my room and lied down on my bed. I closed my eyes to relax.

Just want to thank the people who have liked and followed the story so far I hope your enjoying it!
