You were leaning against the wall as every other student seemed to be talking to a group of friends. You sighed before pulling out your phone. You frowned at the text message from your mom saying you'll have to walk home. You picked up your bag before starting tpwards the doors.

"Yo! (Y/n)!" You perked before seeing Cil, PJ's little brother. "Oh. Hey." You replied, slightly surprised that he even knew your name. "Wanna walk home with me? My buddies are walking with their siblings." Cil offered. "Wouldn't you walk with PJ then?" You asked with a rose eyebrow.

"Yeeaah. But he's staying the night at Fresh's place." Cil said as he scratched the back of his head. "Oh. Well... Sure I guess." You said before you both walked out of the school. Cil seemed really happy before he started to talk about sports.

You just nodded before Cil saw you both were entering the bad side of town. "Um. What's wrong?" You asked. "Don't you go around this part of town?" Cil said before you shrugged. "I live in this part of town. The Hell's Kitchen. I'll see you around." You said before Cil grabbed your wrist.

You looked at Cil before he pulled you a little closer. "Is... Is that why nobody asks to walk you home?" Cil asked before you nodded. Cil looked down before hugging you. "Well. I love you, no matter where you live." Cil said. You blushed deeply before saying "I love you too."

You both looked at each other before you started to walk away slowly. "Welp. I gotta get home so..." You bolted off before Cil paused. "(Y/N)! GET BACK HERE! YOU CAN'T KEEP RUNNING FROM YOUR PROBLEMS!" Cil ordered as he chased after you. "WATCH ME!" You barked over your shoulder.
