"Hey, freak! Why do you have glasses? They only make you more ugly!" Mike Newton taunted me while I was swung on the playground swings. I kept my eyes averted down and ignored him the best I could. He pushed my shoulders making me fall backwards out of my swing and landing in the dirt. The heel of my hand got scraped and I got sand in my hair and eyes.
"Ouch! Mike, knock it off!" I yelled, struggling to get up, and when I almost did he just pushed me back down.
"Hey, get away from her!" yelled a chubby boy, pushing Mike back and helping me up.
"You alright?" he asked glaring at Mike who now had a few boys gathering behin him, looking menacingly at us. They stepped closer and my hero pushed me behind him to block me from their glares. I peeked from behind his fat figure and saw Mike run towards us. A crunch filled the air along with a girly scream from Mike. I giggled and saw the rest of the boys run away, of course, except for Mike who was rolling on the ground holding his broken nose.
"I'm Edward." the mystery boy announced after a minute of watching Mike. I finally got a good look at my hero. His wild bronze hair was half in his eyes and half in the air. His bright green eyes shown with pride for saving me.
"I'm Bella." I stated offering my hand like the grownups do. He returned the shake with his chubby little fingers. "Thanks for saving me." I blushed.
" No problem. I think were gonna be good friends." he smiled showing a gap between his teeth and I smiled back. I nodded when I heard a strange buzzing noise. My eyes popped open, pulling me from my childhood dream, and I slapped the off button on my alarm clock. I sat up in my bed groggily and looked at the time. 6:45. Way to early I thought but now this will be an everyday thing since today is the first day of school!
