I woke ready for the day. I got dressed grabbed my bag. I kissed my dad goodbye before I left.

"I love you dad." I shouted as I walked out the house.

I walked to the bus stop seeing him there. I smiled and walked up.

"Hi." I smiled.

"Oh Paige." He stood. "How is your morning going so far?"

Does he really care?

"My morning is going good. Yours?" I asked.

"Better, now that I saw you." He smiled.

I blushed looking away.

"Are you...are you blushing?" He moved trying to get a look at my face.

The bus pulled up saving me. I hurried on paying my way. I sat down with Kihyun sitting next to me. I put my headphones on and watched the trees, cars, and buildings as we passed them.

We got off and walked onto campus. I looked at Kihyun but he was no where to be seen.

"A 'see you later' would have been nice." I sighed walking to my locker.

I opened my locker and trash fell out. I sighed removing the trash from my locker. I grabbed my books, shutting my locker. I looked at the pile of trash at my feet.

Childish.

I walked away heading to class. My eyes widened as I saw Kihyun. He was sitting right behind my seat. I sighed and sat down in my seat.

He left me to get to class early?

I opened my books getting ready s Aliee walked in.

"Enjoyed the trash?" She laughed.

I stayed silent.

She went to sling her bag to hit me but Kihyun grabbed it before it could even reach me.

"Stop it." Kihyun said.

My eyes widened.

What is he doing?

"Don't. I can handle this by myself." I said.

"How? By letting them bully you? How is that handling it?" Kihyun nearly shouted.

I didn't know what to say. Is he right? I haven't done anything to make them stop.

"Who are you to tell me what to do?" Aliee arched her eyebrow at him.

"To you, I'm probably a nobody. But this nobody here isn't going to seat around and let you bully her." Kihyun said it, and he meant it.

Fear kicked in.

"No." I looked at him. "Please stay out of it. Just leave it be."

Kihyun clinched his jaw shut. He grabbed his stuff and left right as the teacher walked in.

"Where are..."

The teacher didn't even get a chance to finish what he was saying. I looked at Aliee.

"I don't care if you bully me but leave him out of it." I sighed. "I don't wanna see other suffer because of me."

"I will, he's too cute to bully." Aliee walked to her seat.

I sighed, sitting down in my seat.

Where did he go?
