I had made it to gym on time. I walked inside the boy's locker room and headed over to my locker, passing a few half naked guys. I stood at my locker and put in the combination then as soon as I opened the door up, a pile of underwear flooded out and landed on the floor in front of me. The pile of underwear consisted of girl's panties and guy's boxers. I wasn't sure what kind of joke the person was supposed to be pulling, but apparently everybody thought it was a good one since I started to hear a bunch of laughter.

"Looks like Simon forgot to leave his panties at home."

"I...I'm not a panty sniffer. I'm not a pervert." I said, defending myself, looking at the guys.

I wasn't sure if they were trying to joke about me being a pervert or what, but I didn't think it was hilarious at all.

"I think this picture begs to differ." One of the guys said then he held his cell phone out and showed me a picture of myself sitting on top of Matt. Immediately, I felt my heart pounding and my chest tightening.

"I told you guys. He couldn't resist jumping into my pants." Matt said, emerging from behind the lockers.

My eyes landed on Matt. I felt my blood starting to boil. I couldn't believe him and I couldn't believe myself. I felt like such a fool for falling for Matt's tricks again. To think, someone like Matt would actually have a crush on me and want to have sex with me, but I guess my conflicting feelings for Nathan has drove me to believe Matt turned over a new leaf.

"You...You lied to me. You blood wanker..." I said with a shaky voice, staring daggers at Matt.

"It's not my fault you like to jump into guy's pants and suck their dick whatever chance you get." Matt said, smirking.

"Hey, why don't we teach him a lesson?" Another guy said.

"Yeah! Teach him a lesson!" The third guy said.

Suddenly, the guys started to approach me and corner me. I had nowhere to go since they were at every side of me and before I knew it, one guy punched me so hard in the stomach that I literately doubled over and then another guy slammed his fist down on top of my head. I immediately fell to the floor and at that moment, I knew that things were over for me.

...

I faintly heard muffled voices, but I couldn't hear what they were saying because I felt myself being on the verge of passing out, but I tried to keep my eyes open for as long as I could. I wasn't sure if I was gonna die once I closed them. My body was in so much pain that it literately felt like I had been hit by a big truck. Though, I finally heard the voices stop as I watched my attackers leave the boy's locker room.

I had a hard time moving and each time when I tried to sit up, I felt a shock of pain soar through my body so I had no choice, but to stay on the floor. At this very moment, I wished for Nathan to come.

"Simon!" I suddenly heard a voice shouting at me.

"Simon!" It repeated.

I tried to place the voice to a person, but I had a hard time figuring out who was shouting my name. It wasn't until I felt a soft hand gently touch my cheek and my eyes were able to focus well enough for a minute so I could see who it was.

Nathan...

"Simon! Can you hear me!?" He shouted as he stared down at me.

I almost wanted to smile and laugh and curl in his arms, but I could barely move a muscle so the least I could do was try to call out to him and let him know that I'm okay and that I can hear him.

I slowly opened up my mouth, feeling a little bit of blood dripping down from the corners of my mouth and hit the floor.

"N...Na...than..." I croaked out, but that was all I could say because immediately, my eyes shut and I fell into darkness.

...

I didn't know why, but for some reason, my body felt light and it was quiet. I wasn't sure if I had died and gone to heaven or if I was falling through the sky, making my way into hell. It wasn't until I felt a soft, warm hand grip my hand that I felt a shock soar through my body, causing me to wake up. I slowly opened up my eyes and the first thing that I saw was a white ceiling. Suddenly, it felt like my dream was turning into a nightmare.

"Am I...in the mental institute?" I thought to myself.

I slowly turned my head and looked over to my side to see Nathan staring at me with worried eyes then I looked down at his hand to see it holding mine. I looked back at Nathan and opened my mouth to speak.

"I...Where am I?" I asked.

"You're in the nurse's office. I brought you here after you passed out."

I let out a huge sigh of relief. Thankfully, I wasn't in the mental institute. I never want to go back there. Ever.

All of a sudden, I really wanted to get up and leave so I slowly sat my body up which caused Nathan to quickly hold onto me and help me sit up.

"Want some water?" He asked then handed me a small plastic white cup of water.

I took the cup from him then gulped down the delicious cool water.

"You're awake." A female voice said.

I looked up to see that it was the nurse herself. She smiled at me before speaking.

"Thankfully your injuries weren't serious. You had some cuts and bruises on your face and I noticed that your ribs felt a bit bruised, but other than that, you're fine, but maybe you should take the rest of today off and go home." She suggested.

"I agree. I can take him home."

I quickly shook my head then tried standing up. "I...I'm fine."

"Are you sure?" Nathan asked.

I nodded. "I'll be fine." I said then started walking out of the office.

Me and Nathan headed down the hallway, but we didn't get too far before my knees started buckling under me and my head started pounding.

"Are you okay?" Nathan asked, quickly holding onto me.

"I...I'm fine..." And those were my last words before I passed out. Again.

...

I felt a warm body under me so I slowly opened up my eyes to see that I was outside, moving in mid air.

"W-where am I...?"

"You're on my back. I'm carrying you to my place." Nathan said.

"Why...?" I softly asked.

"Because I care about you, silly. I wasn't about to just leave you at school." He said with a smile.

All of a sudden, I felt my heart go warm as I clutched onto Nathan and closed my eyes, resting my face on his back.
