Three Cheers
Chapter 1
I scanned the hall, looking for the dirty blonde mass of hair that belonged to my best friend, Becca.
It was the first day of Freshman year, and we had the same homeroom. She had promised to walk with me there and make sure James didn't try anything funny.
"HEY FAG, WHERE YA GOING?!"
To late, here he comes, I thought solemnly. I kept my back too him and picked up the pace.
"Why are you in such a rush? Going to find your boyfriend?"
I stopped dead in my tracks, and he slammed into me with his blocky chest. I turned to face him.
"Leave me ALONE, jackass" I spat at him, trying to stop my voice from shaking.
James pulled is arm back and made a tight fist.
Oh shit.
"What did yOU SAY TO ME?!" He yelled. People were staring, and I was oping Becca would come save me.
As he stared me down, I heard a voice. And it sure wasn't Becca's.
"Leave the kid alone, James."
I turned to the source of the voice. And I was greeted with the most perfect smile and wild black hair.
Oh, shIT.
"Pick on someone you're own size, why don'tcha?"
