(Your POV)

"Craig and I have been together since 6th grade and still going strong together." She says. The guy, Brian, walks up behind her.

"Listen, I'm so sorry about that. Hope wanted me to practice with her so I took a shot at her, and ended up missing." He says. I smile at him.

"It's alright, no big deal." I say. A couple seconds later a guy walks past me and goes to Hope putting his arm around her shoulder.

"Oh (Y/N), this is my boyfriend Craig. He moved here in 5th grade from England! We also have another a guy that moved here from Canada, we don't talk about or to him, and then another idiot from Ireland like Brian here." She says. I wonder why they don't talk about the Canadian guy. I look at Craig, he looks like the typical nerd. Glasses, curly hair, Coca Cola shirt, very nerd like. He smiles and waves at me.

"Where did you move from?" He asks with a sort of British accent. Well, she wasn't lying about the England thing.

"Um, California. Los Angeles to be exact. Wait, why don't you talk to the Canadian guy?" I ask, changing the subject. Both Craig and Brian look at Hope.

"Cause, we just don't. And whatever you do, don't talk to a guy named Evan Fong. Okay?" She says. I nod my head. She sighs before starting to smile.

"Well, let me see you schedule. Let's see what classes we have together." She says. I take off my book bag and grab my schedule out of one of my folders. Hope grabs hers out of her back pocket and unfolds it. I hand her mine and she starts to look it over.

"You get yours out as well guys." She says to Brian and Craig. Craig gets his out of his book bag while Brian gets his out of his pocket. They both hand Hope their schedules. Hope starts to look back and forth between all of them. A couple minutes later she smiles and hands me mine back.

"Good news. You have math with all 3 of us. I'm happy about that cause math is my favorite subject. Science with Brian. American history with Craig and I. English with me. Luckily you have lunch with all of us so you can sit with us during then. Then you have Info tech with Craig. Spanish with Craig and Brian, which I'm sorry about cause those two together, not a good thing. Last year for Spanish....... you know I'm not even gonna finish that sentence. As for your graphic arts class you don't have any of us in there, but don't worry! I bet you'll make friends in that class!" She says. I smile and put my schedule back in my book bag and zip it back up.

Suddenly someone bumped into me. I look at the person and see them looking at me, giving me an evil grin before starting to walk away. I stand back up and look at the dude. Hope crosses her arms and looks at the dude as well.

"Real mature Evan. Fuck off, no one even likes you." She says. He stops and looks back at her. Is that the Evan dude she was talking about?

"Just like how Brian there doesn't even like you or how Craig is just using you so I don't beat him up? Do they even like you?" He says. I see both Brian and Craig cross their arms and turn around to look at Evan. I start to back away from them.

"I wouldn't be talking Evan. Wouldn't want to get expelled again and have to quit hockey now would we?" Brian says. Evan scoffs and rolls his eyes.

"And you wouldn't want to be kicked off the soccer team now would we? I mean, I know you love being a bench warmer and all." Evan says. People around us stop talking and look at what's happening.

"Evan, just stop." I hear Craig say. Evan starts to laugh.

"And what are you gonna do four eyes? You get scared of your own shadow." Evan says. People start to gasp and circle around them. I gotta do something. I start to walk back to Hope.

"Look, whatever happened between all of you can you just let it go? It's a new school year, let it go." I say. Everyone looks at me and I regretted my decision of talking.

"And who exactly are you fresh meat?" Evan says to me. Hope and Brian grab their bags and pull me behind them, protecting me from Evan for some reason.

"Leave her out of this Fong." Craig says. I watch as Evan take a step closer to us and Hope and Brian take a step closer to Evan. Craig staying back with me.

"Can it Thompson. No one even likes you. That's why you have to stay with Hope and Brian at all times so they can protect you." Evan says. I see Hope stiffen.

"You don't talk to my boyfriend like that." Hope says cracking her knuckles. Evan starts to laugh.

"And is that supposed to scare me sweet pea? Cause trust me it didn't work." Evan says. Suddenly an older figure walks between them and pushes them away from each other.

"Get to class students." He says. People hesitate and finally begin to walk off. Finally it's just Craig, Brian, Hope, Evan, the teacher, and I. He looks at Craig and I.

"Off to class you two." He says. Craig fixes his glasses and walks past Hope. I follow behind him.

"That was Mr. Smith, our principal. And that was Evan Fong, the guy you need to stay away from." He says. I nod my head and look around the hallway we go down.

"So uh, off to Math I guess, you lead the way." I say. Craig looks back then looks forward again.

"Off to math then." He says. I can tell he's thinking about Hope right now.
