The nerd. The quiet girl. The know-it-all. That's what they all called me. I admit, I was smart. Very smart. Smart enough to know that the kid you see on TV, is a monster. The guy that sings about love and making you feel special, he is my tormentor. He made my life miserable for years. I still have the memory of that one prank that went to far. I wonder what happens when he comes to visit his old school and see's me. I just hope it won't happen again....As I put my long black hair into a bun, I felt there eyes on me. I pulled my glasses closer to my eyes looked up at the board. I tried to copy the notes on the board, but there hot eyes were glued to me. Why wouldn't they stop? I did there homework and the cheat for their test, why wouldn't they leave me alone? In the middle of my thoughts, a paper hit me in the eye. Me:OW! Then all 24 pairs of eyes turned to me. Then, Mr.Clark turned around. Mr.Clark:Problem Ms.Hugo? I looked at Justin and he gave me a 'Shut your mouth' look. Me:No problem sorry. They all turned around and I picked up the paper from the floor. I opened it up from its ball-form, and it read 'After school, your dead.' I looked at Ryan and he was facing the board, so was Chaz at the far end. Only Justin's eyes were glued to me. The next 30 minutes of class were silent, just copying notes. When the bell rang, I practically flew out of the door. I dropped my things in my locker and got what I needed to go home. Maybe if I went fast enough, they wouldn't catch up to me. I walked down the block, walking as fast as I humanly could without looking a fool. I didn't hear them behind me, so I calmed down. Damn my house for being so far away. I let my hair loose, my straight black hair falling down my back, my bangs almost covering my glasses, but I didn't care. They weren't following me. Justin:NAOMI! Dammit. I took a deep breath and kept walking. He came up to me and pulled my hair as hard as he could, I fell to the floor, my books all over sidewalk, my head beating against the sidewalk. I saw Ryan and Chaz catch up to Justin. Justin:Listen to me when im talking to you. He picked me up by my hair and I felt something run down my back. Blood most likely. Justin:I failed my test with the notes you gave me. Me:That's not my fault. He wrapped my long hair around his fist. Justin:It is your fault, there YOUR notes. Me:Im sorry. Please let me go. Justin:Oh no. Were going to have some fun. He dragged me to the ground again and he let go of my hair, and I saw his fist covered in blood. Chaz grabed my books and slammed them on my stomach. I let out a cry and they all started to grab my books and throw them at me. They did that for a couple of minutes until they got tired. Ryan:Shes not even screaming dude. Justin:She will in a second. He kicked my stomach extremly hard, and I let out a loud cry. I couldn't help it. He was a soccer player, he had the strongest kick. Justin grabbed my hair once more. Justin:I fail the next time on a test, you know what's going to happen. I nodded and the slamed my head agaisnt the concrete. They started to leave, and I made sure that theywere far enough to get up. There was only one place I could go I got up and found my way to Leo's door. I knocked hard and leaned on the door for strength. Tears started to fall down and I started to breathe heavy. I felt like a baby. Me:Leo, its me Naomi, please open the door. He opened it and he grabbed me into his arms. He knew I was going to fall regardless. Leo:Kitty, what happened to you? I loved it when he called me kitty, it was a nickname he gave to me when he first saw my Hello Kitty room.
Chapter 2- its not all what it seemsMe:I need your mom. My head hurts and I feel dizzy. Leo:Okay. He dragged me inside to the bathroom and sat me in the tub. Leo:Kitty, stay awake okay? Stay up and dont fall asleep, Ill call my mom. I rested my head on the bathroom wall. Thank goodness Leo's mom was a nurse. I layed there for a second and thought of Justin. I hated him. I know it was wrong to feel hate, but I truly hated him with everything in my being. Since that first day he came up to me, I knew he was no good. All those times he slammed me against my locker, and beat me up after school if my notes got him in trouble. How did this all start? Why did I agree to do this? I closed my eyes and I felt cold water fall over me. Me:LEO! Leo:I need you to stay awake. He was the only other Japanese kid in my school. Heck, in Stratford. My parents moved up here to start a resturant, and it did well, they had chains all over town. But they always forgot about me. Maybe if they paid more attention to me, none of this would have happened. Then I saw Leo's hand wave in my face. Leo:Could you see my hand kitty? Me:Yes. I was day-dreaming. Leo:My mom needs to get here fast, you could loose your sight if this stays open to long. Me:What is back there? Leo:Let me see. He tilted my head forward slowly and he inspected my bruise. Leo:Pretty nasty cut. Its gashed open. Who did this kitty? I wanted to tell him, but he would tell his mom and she would complain at school and Justin would kill me when he got in trouble. Just thinking of another beating made tears spill down my face. Me:No one. Leo:Then what happened? Me:I fell down a flight of metal stairs. I lied. LM:Leo, Kitty, are you guys up there? Leo:Here Mom! She ran up stairs and stared at my cut. LM:Kitty, your going to have to come with me to the hospital. Me:No- LM:I won't tell your parents, they don't care anyway. Leo helped me out of the bed and took me to the hospital. After a couple of stitches, 9 to be exact, Leo too k me home. Leo:You need to be more careful kitty, you scare me sometimes. Me:Im sorry. When we got to my house, I heard Justin's laugh clearly. But not from my house. From the one next door
Leo had my arm around his shoulder holding me up. I looked over and saw Justin and his friend playing football in the yard. I saw Justin glance at me and he threw the football at me with force. It my sides and I let out a yelp. Leo:WATCH IT BEAVER! Justin jumped the fence. Justin:Sorry Naomi, I didn't see you. You live here? He said sweetly. He was lying. He aimed it right at me, and he wasn't sorry. Me:Yes. Justin:My cousin lives next door. I dont care, I thought. Justin:Maybe I'll swing around some time. Now I was scared. Justin knew where I lived, he could come and hurt me whenever he wanted. Justin:And its Bieber, Japan. Leo:Racist. He walked past Justin and took me inside to my room. Leo:Are you okay kitty? Me:Im fine, it just really hurt. Leo:He's such a jerk. I hope he falls off the face of the earth. Into a pit of fire, I added silently. Leo:Your not going to school tommorrow. Me:Why? Its Friday! Leo:Your got stitches on your head! Im staying with you to take care of you. A whole day with Leo. That sounded amazing. I didn't even hesitate. Me:Okay. Leo:My cousin taught me how to do this braid, ill do it for you so it wont get caught in your stitches. He sat on my bed and let my long black hair out. It was smooth as silk, and it reached my waist. He started to braid and we just talked. Leo:Do you have a crush on Justin? Me:HELL NO! Leo:Why not? Because he makes my life a living hell, beats me up, takes my homework and my money even though he lookes like the sweetest human on Earth. Me:He's not my type. Leo:Kitty has a type? I laughed. Me:It sounds so stereo-typical because im Japanese and you call me kitty.
Chapter 3 - Friends. Leo:I call you kitty because of all your Hello Kitty stuff, not because your Japanese. Im japanese too! Me:Still. Leo:What's your type? I thought about that for a second. Me:Guys that are sweet, funny, know how to make me feel special. That protect me like a little sister but love me like Halo. He laughed. He had an amazing laugh. We spent the rest of the night talking. Leo called his mom from my green house phone and told her he was staying over. The next day, I woke up to the smell of eggs and bacon, my favorite. He cleaned a little and spent the day with me. We laughed and danced around, but I started to feel dizzy so I went to bed. After a couple of minutes, there is a knock at the door. It can't be my parents, they only come home at night to sleep. Justin:Hi, we brought Naomi's homework and wanted to she how she was feeling. I sat up in my bed and looked around for somewhere to hide. Too late, they were already here. Chaz locked the door and Justin laid on the bed. Justin:So much Hello Kitty. Its gross. I stared at him as he relaxed on my bed. Me:What are you doing here? Justin:Were here to bring your homework. And mine's and Chaz's and Ryan's. He tossed all the books on the floor. Me:Thats too much work all by myself. Justin sat up and grabbed my face hard. Justin:Do it, or I will rip out the stitches in your head one by one. I looked in his brown eyes. This was the monster everyone had come to love. He was an evil, hideous person. Justin:Do you understand me? He said shaking my face. I nodded and he let me go. Justin:You did agree to do this for us. Me:That was once. Justin:And we still haven't gone on that date. Bummer. He smacked my cheek softly and left
I looked in the mirror and saw his thumb prints on my face. Tears started to spill down my face. They weren't of sorrow, or fear, but of anger. I hated Justin Bieber. Ever since he came up to me, I knew he should have stayed away. I remember that day so clearly, it seems as if it was happening before me. I was standing at my locker when Justin came behind me. Justin:Hey Naomi. Me:Justin? Justin:Yess. How are you? Me:Uhh, good? Justin:Why so quiet? Me:I don't really know you. He turned me around and smiled. Justin:Let me cut to the chase, I really like you, and Im dying to take you out, but im failing my classes, and my mom said until I bring them up I can't date. So, I was wondering, if you could help me out. Just, do my homework until I get a B, then I could take you out. Okay? That sounded like a piece of cake. For a date, with JUSTIN!? The guy everyone wanted? Ofcourse I would do it. Me:Okay. Justin:That's great, here it is. He said handing me a pile of books. Justin:There due tommorrow. See you then. He kissed my cheek and walked off. I should have said no. I should've thrown his books on the floor and call him out. But I didn't. Im not the kind of girl that could hurt anyone. In the middle of my thoughts, Leo bursted through the door. Leo:Kitty, I- Why are you crying? He came on my bed and hugged me. Leo:Your face. Which one of them did it? Me:None of them. Leo:Kitty, dont lie to me. Me:Im not lying to you. I choked between sobs. He layed on the bed and he put my head on his chest. Leo:Kitty, you say the word, and I will rip them into pieces. Me:Its nobody! Leo:Okay. I came to tell you that your parents came here for a second, but since Beaver was here they didn't say hello. I just laid on his chest until I fell asleep. It was Saturday today, thank goodness. No school. For one in my life, school seemed like a chore. I woke up to find Leo on the floor, snoring away. The whole weekend I spent with Leo. We always spent our weekends together. I was feeling better on Monday so I went to school. The hallways started to clear, by the second less and less students were there. I just stayed at my locker and got my stuff when I felt hand on the back of my neck. Justin:Where's my homework? I felt so nervous, I wondered if he could hear my heart pounding. Me:I was busy, and I didn't feel good. I didn't even get a chance to do my homework. I closed my locker and he grabbed my hair and slammed me into it. Justin:That doesn't make me happy. I felt my head throb, and more blood hit the floor. Justin:You hav until lunch to get me my homework. He slammed my head into the green metal locker once more. Justin:GOT IT? Me:Yes. He let go and went to class. I saw more blood drip and I went to the bathroom and looked at myself. Was it because I was ugly? Because I wasn't as thin as other girls? I asked myself this as I wiped the blood of my face and glasses.
Chapter 4 - Justin. Not only did I hate Justin, I hated myself. Maybe if I was thinner, or prettier, or just not as smart, none of this would have happened. Maybe I would have a nice boyfriend and have more than Leo as a friend. I sat in the stall and did all of the homework, I didn't care about being late to class. I needed an asprin. I finished it all, including mine and went to class. Mr.Clark:Ms.Hugo, any excuse why your late? I looked over at Justin and he gave me and evil smile. Me:My head hurts from an accident I had, and was a little late. Im sorry. Mr.Clark:Your a good girl, just take your seat. I heard a couple girls snicker as I took my seat. Justin:You have blood on your glasses. He took them off and wiped the blood, and I could feel everyone stare at me. Justin:Here you go. He gave me back my glasses. Me:Thanks. Justin:No problem. Eveyone turned back around and class ended. Mr.Clark:See you all after lunch. I went to my locker and a crowd of girls surrouded me
There was this tall blonde girl in front of them all. The leader, I guessed. Girl:Hi. I was beyond confused. Me:Hello. One of the girls in the back spoke up. Girl:Do you have Justin's phone number? Can you give it to me?! They all started talking at once and my head started to throb. Me:Can you lower your voices. One at a time. Then the blondie spoke up. Girl:See, we all thought you and Justin were together, since he was talking about you, and when Ms.Simmons asked who wanted to give you your homework, he practically jumped out of his seat. And this morning...well, you know. I closed my eyes and smiled. Stupid girls. Me:Ladies, im sorry, I don't have his number, and we are not together. He is all yours. They all clapped and cheered. Girl:Thanks..uhh..- Me:Naomi. We've been to school together since the 3rd grade. Girl:Oh, but your probably don't know my name! Me:Chrystal. Girl:Hey, aren't you friends with the Japanese boy in 3A? Me:Yes. Girl:Are you japanese too? Was she freakin' blind? Or just really stupid? Me:Yeah. Girl:You would make the cutest couple! Well, thanks anyway! They all walked off and I closed my locker. Weird. I grabbed my books in my bag and went to the cafeteria. I just sat at the table in the back, waiting for Leo to come. I felt a kiss on the top of my head. Leo:Hello Kitty. Me:Haha. Very funny. He sat at the table and passed a tray to me. Leo:You owe me 3 bucks. Me:I wasn't hungry. Leo:Your eating that! I laughed and opened the foam container to find vegetable rice. Leo:Your favorite...out of all the crap lunches here. I started to eat when I saw Ryan come over to our table. Ryan:Hey Naomi. Can I talk to you for a second? I looked at Leo and he shrugged his shoulders. I got up and he pulled me to a corner. Ryan:Justin was coming to get his homework, but I said I would do it. I want to apologize for everything, I had no idea Justin took my homework, and for the stuff I did, I just wanted to be cool like Justin I guess. I just want you to forgive me. This seemed so weird. Why would he apologize to me? If he was sorry, he would have made Justin stop. Ryan:There's this party, Justin and Chaz won't be there. Do you want to come? I would appreciate it. I looked back at Leo. Me:I don't know... Ryan:Just think about it. Me:Ill think. I gave him their homework and went back to Leo. Leo:What did he want? Me:To invite me to a party. Leo got upset. Leo:Your not going right? Me:I don't know yet... I told him I would think about it. I mean, I have never been to a party like this before. Leo:Ill throw you a party! It could be me, you, and Vanilla. Vanilla was his cat, which was pure white. Leo:We'll put streamers in your room, and play music and eat junk, and dance, whatever you think a party is like. Its not all that fun. Me:You've been? Leo:Yeah, all they do is drink and dance to shitty music. Me:Leo! He smiled. Leo:Im sorry. But make a smart choice. Me:Okay. We finished eating and we went to class, and Justin didn't bother me much. After class, I started to walk home with Leo, and Ryan caught up with us Ryan:Naomi! I turned around and saw him jogging to me. Leo:Dammit. Me:Shush. Ryan came infront of us. Leo:Sorry, Naomi can't talk right now, leave a message after the beep. Beeeep.
Chapter 5- its always a good thingRyan raised his eyebrows and pointed at Leo. Ryan:Boyfriend? Leo:Yes- Me:Leo! No, hes not. I pushed him playfully. Ryan:He's really protective. Can I talk to her for a second? Leo:Talk. Ryan:Alone? Leo:Why? Are you going to kidnap her or something? She has stiches you know. Ryan:I know dude, chill. Ryan grabbed my hand and pulled me a couple of feet behind Leo. Ryan:So did you think about my invite? Me:I did, but I don't think- Ryan:It will be alot of fun. Maybe we could have a dance. Me:Ryan, were not friends! Woah, where did that come from? I had never yelled at anyone, ever. Ryan:We could be. Im not the guy you think I am. Please say yes. I looked over at Leo. Me:Okay. Ryan smiled at his feet. Ryan:Thats great. Umm, Ill pick you up Friday at 9? Me:Okay. Ryan:Dress nice. He started to walk back to school and I caught up with Leo. Me:Are you mad? Leo:If he touches you, im going to kill him. Me:Im sorry. I grabbed his arm and put my head on his shoulder. Me:My head hurts. Out of nowhere, Leo picked me up and I couldn't help but laugh. Me:That wasn't necesary! Leo:Shush kitty. He took me home and we did our homework, and talked. I loved the way he cared for me. We were both only children, so I guess he saw me like a little sister. The week went by extremely slow. On Friday, I was nervous. I stood at my locker and Leo hugged me from behind. Leo:The most amazing thing happened. Me:What? Leo:Justin got caught cheating on a test from this cheat sheet, so they called his mom in class and got a zero. Chills went down my spine. Leo:Are you not excited? He would take it out on me, I knew it. I could feel his fist alredy grabbing my hair. Leo:Noticed your stitches fell out. Except for 2. Me:Really? I touched them and Leo kissed my hand. Leo:Im going to class. He started walking and yelled down the hallway. Leo:LATER KITTY! Me:DONT CALL ME THAT IN PUBLIC! Leo:Meow! I laughed and got my stuff and went to class. Justin didn't bother me, but he snickered whenever he looked at Ryan and Chaz. After school, Leo walked me home and helped me choose something to wear after 1,000,000 tries. I finally decided on a black shirt and a blue tank top with black flats. I put a blue bow in my hair and Leo couldn't help but stare. Leo:You look gorgeous. Im going to use the bathroom. Me:Okay. He went to the bathroom and I heard a knock at the door and went downstairs. I opened and didn't see anyone. I walked out and everything went black felt two people grab me and throw me into a van. I kept screaming until I heard a familiar voice. Justin:SHUT THE FUCK UP BITCH! I kept screaming and kicking until the van came to a hault. They grabbed me again and took me out and dragged me. I couldn't see anything, they had my head in a bag. I heard a splash of water and I instantly knew where we were. Why would they take me all the way to Lake Ontario, miles away, almost coliding with New York? They took my bag off and we were on a rock. Ryan:You look beautiful. They had my hands behind my back. Me:LET ME GO PLEASE! I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING! Justin:I got caught with YOUR cheats. Now im in so much trouble. And your going to pay. I started to squirm and Justin ripped out a stitch from my neck. I let out a scream and they laughed. Me:YOUR EVIL! Justin:Ouch. He ripped out the last one. Justin:Can you swim? Me:Im not jumping in there. Justin:Yes you are. Me:No! Justin:Then you will be pushed. He gave one shove andI went head first into the water. My back hit the bottom and there was a pain my my leg. It was like nothing I had ever felt before. I tried to swim to the top, but my leg was hurting so badly. I found my glasses in the water and reached the top. I couldn't help but scream. I was in so much pain. Me:HELP ME PLEASE! I tried to feel around until I felt dirt. I climbed however I could and put on my glasses.
Chapter 6. I looked at my leg and saw a huge piece of glass through it, blood everywhere. I was screaming my head off. Me:JUSTIN PLEASE HELP ME! I looked at where they had thrown me off and they were all staring at my leg. Ryan:That's gross! Justin:Lets get out of here! Me:DON'T LEAVE ME! They ran off and I screamed. Seconds turned into minutes, minutes into hours. Still no help. I was screaming my head off for hours until this couple came along. Lady:Oh my goodness Charles! Me:Please help me! I was all cried out, and my leg was throbing. I was feeling so dizzy. Man:Oh wow. Where are you from? Me:Startford. Lady:We need to get to a hospital. The man picked me up and everythig went back again. I just couldn't keep my eyes up anymore. When I woke up, I was in my room, Leo sitting at the end of my bed with tears in his eyes Leo:Your up. He smiled a nervous grin. He came over and hugged me. Me:Please tell me I had a bad nightmare and you have allergies that make you cry. Leo:I was so worried Kitty. They had to give me something at the hospital to calm down. I looked down at my leg and saw it was in a cast. Me:Im sorry. Leo:What are you apologizing for? This isn't your fault. Then he let go. Leo:But I want you to tell me who did this. Me:Leo- Leo:And don't tell me no one did because im not fucking stupid Kitty. For the first time, I was scared of Leo. He had never cursed at me before, or talked to me like he was now. The first time I had ever seen anger in his eyes. Me:Justin. I whispered. Barely audible, but finally, I had told someone about my tormentor. Leo:I knew that kid as a jerk. How long has this been going on? I put up 2 fingers and he looked at them. Leo:Days, weeks, months- Me:Years. Leo started to pace around my room, breathing heavily. Leo:THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 2 YEARS AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME? Me:Im sorry! Leo:Im not angry at you! Its just...you need to tell me everything they did to you. I wasn't sure if I wanted to relive all those memories. But I had to tell somebody. Me:They would pull my hair, and throw stuff at me. Slam me into my lockers, kick me and punch me. Tears started to well up in my eyes. Me:If they failed a test they would blame it on me. They would brake my glasses or take my money, and if I didn't give it to them, they would hit me. And I was too afraid to do anything back. Leo:Kitty, I love you too much for this to go un-punished. Me:What? What do you mean? Leo:You know exactly what I mean. Tommorrow your coming to school. Me:Its already sunday? Leo:You were all weekend in the hospital. You were groggy, but you were up. You lost alot of blood, I had to give you mine. Me:You gave blood to me? Leo:There's nothing in this universe I wouldn't give for you Kitty. I looked up at him and he smiled at me. Leo:That's why, Beaver is getting a taste of his own medicine. Don't try to stop me kitty, because it won't work. Me:I wasn't going to. I smiled and he stayed in my room with me. He told me what had happened and how nervous he got when his mom told him I was in the hospital. He practically ran from his house to the hospital. Having someone like Leo in my life was amazing. The next day, Leo helped me get ready to go to school. He waited downstairs until I finished and grabbed my bag. He didn't say much to me that morning, except for 'Good Morning kitty, how's your leg?' It was an akward, silent walk to school. I thought about what was going to happen. Would Leo make this big scene, or keep it quiet? I tried to tell him to not do anything, but I could have convinced a wall to move first. He grabbed me lightly to help me up the steps, until he saw Justin at his locker. Leo:BEAVER! It was just like in those old cowboy movies me and Leo loved watching. Everyone stopped and looked at Leo, some at Justin. He turned to see Leo, standing there with him
Chapter 7arm around me. Justin:What do you want Japan. Leo walked over to him and slammed his head into his locker. Leo:HOW DOES IT FEEL YOU LITTLE BITCH? He slammed it again. He grabbed Justin by his long hair and Justin screamed. Leo:DOESN'T FEEL GOOD HUH? He brought his face down to my cast. Leo:THIS IS FUCKING FUNNY? HUH? He shook Justin's head by his hair. He slammed Justin's face into the floor and pushed me back some. I heard a crack and everyone was in awe. I had never seen Leo this angry before. He was such a sweet guy. Leo:GET THE FUCK UP AND PICK ON SOMEONE YOUR ON SIZE! Justin wasn't ready to look like a coward. He got up and punched Leo in his stomach, and suddenly, I couldn't keep track. Leo pushed him into a locker and started punching him, Justin getting in some hits too. Two huge security guards came and pulled Leo off of Justin and dragged him to the principal's office. Leo:YOU TOUCH NAOMI AGAIN I SWEAR I WILL KILL YOU WITH MY BEAR HANDS BEAVER! YOUR LUCKY WERE IN SCHOOL! I glanced over at Justin and Ryan and Chaz came to his rescue. He was bleeding from his nose. I couldn't stay in school. I slowly went down the steps of the old building and started to walk home. I just couldn't believe this had happened this way. Leo couldn't hurt a fly, and he had just broken Justin's nose. He had such anger in his eyes, it was horrifying. But Justin deserved it. I smiled at my cast. To Justin, for every punch, pull, kick, slap, and shove you have ever given me. I finally got home and called my parents and told them is they could give me an excuse for a week. My mom came home and spent the day with me, which had never happened. They were always so busy with the resturant, they forgot they had me. Leo called me later that day to tell me he had gotten suspended for a week. Because of his good behavior they didn't expell him. He explained to his mom what happened and she was somewhat proud of him. I went to his house and knocked on his door. He opened, he had a black eye. Me:Oh Leo. I feel terrible. Leo:You walked all the way over here with your cast? Are you nuts!? Me:I thought you were grounded, so I came here. Then his mom came to the door and hugged me. LM:Oh Kitty are you feeling better? Leo told me what happened and im so sorry, I didn't know someone could be so cruel. Me:Its okay. Thankyou. Leo:Let's go to my room. The whole week, me and Leo spent it together. We talked and laughed, and I felt so comfortable. When we went back to school, Justin wasn't there. Or the next day. Or the next. Maybe I had finally won. Maybe my tormentor was finally gone After Justin left, I wasn't the same girl. I made more friends, became more outgoing. I finally went to a real party. I went to prom with Leo, and finally made it to high school! I had turned 15 already, and my 16 birthday was around the corner. One day, walking home from Newspaper club, I saw this car following me. Whenever I made a turn, the car did the same. This was getting on my nerves. I stopped and the car pulled up to my side. Me:Could you please stop following me! I stomped my foot and the person rolled down. My heart nearly jumped out of my chest when I saw Justin smiling at me. Justin:Remember me? I forced a nod and my breathing started to get heavy. My hands started to shake and I became un-easy. Justin:Why so scared? He got down and I backed into a fence. He got closer and I crouched to the floor. Me:Justin, please, I haven't done anything, if your mad about Leo, just please dont hurt me. Please Justin dont hurt me. Tears started streaming down my face and he crouched down next to me. Justin:Naomi, calm down. I just wanted to see how you were doing and say hey. I looked at him and he pulled a napkin from his back pocket
Chapter 8Justin:Here. Its not used. I grabbed it and wiped my face. Justin helped me up and I stared at him. He got taller, and he had trimmed his hair. It was still long. His eyes seemed softer. I remember that day in my room when his eyes were full of hate, rough and angry at the world. Now they seemed happy, as if dancing with the rhythym of the wind. Justin:You seem scared out of your mind. Me:Well, meeting your bully after a year brings up stuff that should have been left alone. Did I just say that? Justin:Bully? Oh... Look, Im really sorry about all of that, I was angry at so many things, my dad, moving, I just took it out on you. Im really sorry. I wanted to smack him. He wants to apologize now?! Me:Your 3 years too late on that one. I started to walk and he grabbed my arm softly and turned me around. Justin:I changed. Im not the same guy I was 3 years ago. Me:Changed? I chuckled. He wanted me to buy this crap? Me:Justin your the bad guy. The bad guy is always evil. You could change your hair, your clothes and your car. But you will always be the bad guy. I started to walk. Me:And if you touch me, I'll give you the slap that's years overdue. I kept walking until I got home. My mom was there cooking something on the stove. Mom:Hey Naomi. How was school? Me:Good. Mom:Where's Leo? Me:Coming shortly I bet. We laughed. Mom:Well, Im just cooking some chicken for you and Leo, because I have to leave in some minutes. Me:Okay. I kissed her cheek and took a shower and put on PJ's and Leo walked in my room. Leo:Calm down, calm down, I have arrived. The chicken your mom made smells great. He kissed my cheek and plopped on my bed. Me:I saw Justin today. I saw from the mirror that Leo clenched his fists and closed his eyes. Leo:What is he doing back? Me:I don't know, but forget it. I grabbed his hands. Me:He's gone. I smiled and so did he. Leo:Your glasses make your eyes look beautiful. Me:Aww. We went downstairs and ate my mom's chicken and we heard a knock at the door. Me:I'll get it. I opened the door and saw Justin with flowers in his hands I looked back at Leo and
