~Ray’s POV~
I walk into the cafeteria and sit with Amy and the guys. I open my bag, pull out an apple and put my bag on the floor by my converse-covered feet.
“Hey Ray,” they say once I’m comfortable.
“Hey, how you guys?” I ask, taking a bite of my apple.
“We’re good,” Frankie responds.
“Ray, we need your help. I had a go at Alex in Frankie’s grade earlier and we think he’s gonna get his older brother, Tom, to beat him up,” Gerard says, holding one of Frank’s hands tight.
“Shit! Tom Ferguson?” I ask, receiving nods from Gerard and Frank.
“Okay… got a plan?”
“Yeah… so we will…” that’s all I hear of what Gerard is saying before I see her.
She has long black hair to the bottom of her back and heavy side bangs. She is wearing black skinnies, a black tank top and black combat boots. Her eyes are ringed with heavy eyeliner and I can’t help but stare. Her name? Thorn. Well, that’s what her small group of friends call her.
“Hey Thorn! Wanna come sit with us?” I say waving her over happily.
“Sure! Let me get the others,” she says, calling the others over.
“Ray? Ray! Were you even listening to us or were you too busy staring at Thorn? Oh my God! You like Thorn!” Mikey says, arms crossed over his chest.
“Uh… I wasn’t listening exactly… I was kinda staring at Thorn and yes I have a crush on her kay?” I say just as Thorn and her friends – Brianna and Chloe – walk over to our table and sit with us.
“Hey Ray! Hey guys! Hey… what’s your name?” Thorn says, addressing each one of us in turn. She points to Amy, a confused look on her face as they’ve obviously never me before.
“Hi! I’m Amy, you guys are?” Amy says, gesturing to Thorn’s friends.
“I’m Chloe and this is Brianna. You can call me Clover and she likes to be called Blade because she thinks it’s ‘cool’” Chloe laughs, mocking Brianna.
“Cool! Love the nicknames! You can call me Ames,” Amy says, making good conversation with the girls.
“Hey Thorn? If you don’t mind me asking, what’s your real name?” I ask curiously.
“Oh, it’s okay. My name’s Thora but I hated it from a really young age so I decided on Thorn,” she says, smiling at me.
“Ray? Hey Fro-fro!” Frankie yells at me.
“Yeah?”
“Ames knows the plan so if you swap places with her for a couple minutes so they don’t hear the plan, then we can get down to business,” Mikey says, making sure Amy can hear.
“Okay baby. I’ll let you guys talk,” Amy says, kissing Mikey.
We both stand up. I walk over to sit next to Mikey and Amy sits in between Thorn and Blade.
“Okay. So what we’re gonna do meet outside Frank’s last class and walk out with him and we’ll walk him home. Mikes and I will be behind him and you and Amy will be in front of him, but we’ll be like this,” Gerard begins, showing me a dice and pointing to the side with 5 dots on it. I nod and he breathes in. “Okay. Once he’s home, we’ll walk Amy and you home and then Mikes and I will go home. Just so you’re all safe before I leave. If anyone happens to try and touch my Frankie, whichever side they’re on, that person will stall them while one of us will ‘get rid of them’ so to speak,”
“Okay, sounds good. Would it not help if we had the girls to help so that they can stand either side of him or either in front or behind him?” I ask, a little confused by what just came out of my mouth.
“Um… that would help I guess,” Mikey says.
“Thorn? Clover? Blade? Can we ask you for a favour?” I ask them and they nod simultaneously.
“Okay, so… here’s the plan…”

~Amy’s POV~
I sit down between Thorn and Blade and they start talking to me like they’ve known me for years.
“Oh my God! I love Green Day! Have you heard of Ghost Town?” Blade asks me.
“No; I’ll check them out later, they sound awesome!”
“I love the streaks in your hair and your eyeliner! Have you ever had any other colours in your hair apart from black and pink?” Clover asks, picking up a coloured strand of my hair and plays with it.
“No, but I’m gonna change the pink for like blue or something in the summer,”
“That’s cool! I wanna dye my hair black but my mom won’t let me,” Clover says, twirling her long blonde hair around her index finger.
“But your hair is such an awesome colour Clover,” Thorn reassures her.
“Thanks but I want a change from boring blonde,”
“But with blonde, you can dye it any colour you want. Thorn and I can’t. We have black hair, obviously, but if we wanted a lighter colour, we’d have to bleach it and risk having orange hair,” Blade says and we all laugh.
“Thorn? Clover? Blade? Can we ask you for a favour?” Ray asks the girls and they nod simultaneously.
“Okay, so… here’s the plan…”

~Frank’s POV~
The final bell rings and I stall and make sure I come out of the classroom last. When I walk out of the room with bag on my shoulder, Ray, Gerard, Mikey, Thorn and Clover are waiting for me.
“Hey guys!” I exclaim, hugging Mikey, Ray and Gerard, kissing him afterwards.
“Hey baby. Good day?” Gerard asked, smiling down at me.
“Yeah; where are Blade and Ames?” I ask Thorn and Clover, presuming that they’d know.
“They’re on their way. Blade had a make-up crisis so Ames waited for her,” Thorn says, rolling her eyes.
“Hey guys! Sorry about that. Had a make-up crisis,” Blade says, running up to us, Ames in tow.
“We heard! Hey baby,” Mikey says as Amy walks up to him and they kiss passionately.
“Ew guys! Get a room,” I joke, kissing Gerard roughly.
“Can we go home now?” Blade and Clover ask in unison.
“Yeah, sorry girls,” Ames says, running over and linking arms with them.
We get out of school and walk down the sidewalk, using the route I always use to get home. Our formation gives me protection from every angle. Ray, and Ames in front of me, Blade and Thorn either side and Gerard, Clover and Mikey behind me. Ray, Ames, Gerard and Mikes formed the ‘corners’ of our formation and Blade, Clover and Thorn filled the gaps so I was safe in the middle.

~Gerard’s POV~
“Think he’s protected like that emo’s? Think again,” Tom runs up behind me and punches me. He goes to punch Clover and Mikey but I step in the way.
“Run Frankie! RUN!” I yell at him. He nods and sprints off. Tom’s friends start punching Ray, Blade, Thorn and Amy.
“Oh fuck no! No way are you gonna hurt Amy!” Mikey shouts, running over to her and punching the guy – Brad – in the nose, the bone crunching under his hand.
“Amy Run! Go with Frank!” I shout, punching Tom under his chin, knocking him to the ground.
Ray gets punched by Josh and is knocked to the ground, clutching his jaw and nose which is pouring blood.
“Are you fucking kidding me?!” Thorn shouts, punching Josh and Kyle to the ground. She helps Ray up and urges him to run too. He obeys and runs to catch up with Amy and Frankie.
Blade manages to punch George, with the help of Clover and soon enough, they’re all on the ground crying out in pain. I smile and high-five Thorn, Blade, Clover and Mikey. I pull out my phone and call Frank.
“Hey baby,” he says.
“Stop where you are! We finished ‘em off. We’re coming now. Those girls are fucking strong,” I say, and Frank laughs on the other end.
“They look it! We’re at the other end of the street,” Amy yells through the phone.
“Okay babe. We can see you now,” Mikey says, running over to Amy.
I hang up the phone and the girls and I run to the others.

~Thorn’s POV~
“I was throwing punches left, right and centre at those dicks! I knocked Josh and Kyle down, Gerard almost knocked out Tom, Mikey nearly threw Brad to the floor and George got done by Blade and Clover,” I say to Amy, Ray and Frank, and they laughed at how we ‘finished ‘em off’. All in all, it was great fun; and I got to show off my mad skills, as did Blade and Clover.
Ray comes over to me and looks me in the eye. “Look, Thorn, I’ve liked you for a while and I’d really like it if you were my girlfriend,” I smile and I feel my cheeks: red hot. Fuck, I’m blushing.
“Umm… sure! I’d love to,” I exclaim, hugging him, receiving a chorus of ‘awe’s’ from everyone else.
