Maya's POV

I was eating my cereal in the morning. I just had to tell myself that as long as me and Miles are together I'm safe. The problem was that no matter how much I told myself that I knew it was a lie. Even if it was true Zig lives with me and Miles doesn't. What happens when Miles isn't there to protect me? As I was thinking, Zig happened to show up. He sat down in the chair in front of me and began to pour cereal into his bowl. As he looked up I couldn't help but notice the bandage on his nose. The bandage on his BROKEN nose. The broken nose that was caused by Miles, because of me.

"Your boyfriend isn't always going to be around to save you" Zig told me once he noticed I was staring at his nose.

"I- I…I kn…n….know" I stuttered.

"And when he's not me and you will have….. Fun" Zig said with a smirk.

I was going to say something when I heard a knock at the door. I ran to open it and I saw Miles. I gave him a hug but then I noticed my mom ran to open the door too. My mom likes Miles, a lot actually. She probably just doesn't know about him and alcohol, drugs, girls, and parties.

"Hello Miles, it's good to see you darling. How are you?" My mom asks him.

"I'm doing fine, thank you Mrs. Matlin. I was just wondering if I can walk Maya to school today" Miles said.

"Of course you can. Bye, have a wonderful day you two!" my mom said happily.

As we were walking Miles took my hand in his. "Your mom really likes me doesn't she?" Miles asked with a grin. I just nodded. All of a sudden Miles stopped walking and looked straight at me

"What did Zig do?" Miles quietly asked with concern in his voice

I told him everything. He put his arm around me and smiled.

"Don't worry, we'll think of something" Miles said. Then he winked. I smiled. No matter how sad I am the person who always cheers me up is him. Miles Hollingsworth the third.

When we finally got to school Miles began to take me to the main office.

"Excuse me I'd like to be put in the rubber room." Miles told the lady at the front desk.

"I'm sorry but I can't – oh" The lady stopped talking when Miles pulled out a hundred dollar bill.

Eventually the lady at the front desk took the hundred dollar bill from Miles and put him in the rubber room.

"Why do you want to be in the rubber room?" I asked him.

"I don't want to leave you alone with Zig and his friends." Miles said while taking me somewhere.

"Where are we going?" I asked him.

"To science class obviously" Miles said chuckling a little bit.

"But you don't have science with me, I have science with- oh….." I said in realization.

"Yeah you have it with Zig so I asked to be switched to that class." Miles told me with a grin.

"You're amazing you know" I said smiling at him. We both stopped walking and began to kiss. The kiss began to get passionate. Then, the bell rang.

"SCIENCE!" we both said in union.

We began walking to science and when we got there, there were only two seats left. They were next to each other, but they were in the same table as Zig and Tiny.

Miles and I took our seats and I noticed that Miles' eyes were brown instead of green. This made me realize the emotion he was feeling right now. ANGER.

"Okay class, today you'll be assigned a project. In this project you and your group members must choose any human body system and create a brochure on it. Make sure you answer all the questions from your rubric, which I'm passing out." Mrs. Gerald said as she began to pass out the rubrics.

I turned to my group members and saw Miles, Tiny, and zig giving each other death glares.

"Okay….." I began trying to end the tension. "I think we should do the skeletal system because it's really easy and if we didn't have the skeletal system we would be all wibbly wobbly." I said trying to create a happy mood.

"I agree" Miles said with a grin as he put his arm around me. I couldn't help but notice how his eyes were green again. I also notice disgust in Zig's eyes.

"You're just agreeing with Maya because she's your girlfriend." Zig said

"No, I agreed because it's really easy and important." Miles said trying to hide his anger.

"Really? Because I'm pretty sure you were just agreeing with the blonde who's going to dump your sorry ass pretty soon."

Miles got really mad at this, he stood up and was about to punch him.

I knew I had to stop him before he hurts Zig and gets in trouble. I quickly, but gentely put my hand on his arm. He stopped and looked at me. He looked at me with sadness as if he thought that what Zig had said was true.

"Don't listen to him, I would never do that." I told Miles. He began to smile. "I know."

"What about the endocrine system?" Tiny said looking at me. I swear he was undressing me with his eyes.

The bell rang. "What's so important about the endocrine system? I asked as I began packing my stuff into my backpack.

"Well you see the endocrine system is in charge of all hormones. Especially sex hormones." Tiny said coming closer to me.

"And If we do the endocrine system we can study those sex hormones when your mom's not home" Zig said as he put his hand on my butt.

Miles began punching zig. Tiny then jumped on Miles. Tiny then held Miles down on the floor and Zig began punching Miles. Blood was visible.

"STOP!" I yelled "No" Zig and Tiny said in union. I began trying to push Zig off of Miles but it was no use.

I saw Tiny take out a knife. I began to cry. "Stop! I'll do anything! ANYTHING!" I began to scream.

"Wait. Put the knife away Tiny." Zig said

"Why?" Tiny asked.

"Just do it" Zig said with a smirk. Tiny just held Miles back more tightly. Zig started walking closer to me.

"DON'T TOUCH HER!" Miles screamed.

Zig just ignored Miles.

"Anything? Okay. We won't hurt your rich kid boyfriend if _
