virgil's POV

I manage to pull myself together after the anxiety attack, and walk off to class leaving Patton and Logan gazing into each others eyes and roll mine. "No one will ever look at me like that" I think to myself.

It isn't easy being an angsty emo girl. People just stare at me every day, whispering to their friends and giggling to themselves. I wander through the crowded halls as people push and shove against me as if I were a punching bag, but I reach my classroom, pulling through with only minor injuries, AKA, damaged pride.

I sit at my desk and my mind wanders to that red boy. Who was he? I've never seen him around before, and someone that attractive would be the talk of the school. Not that I like him or anything, I'm just telling the truth: he was gorgeous. So why haven't I seen him around before. I look around the at the desks and realise everyone is staring at the front of the room, where a boy with dyed red hair is standing, proudly yet shyly, beaming. Do I recognise him? Yes, it's him the red boy who helped me this morning! Who is he? Every girl in the room is drooling over him and I realise that he is staring at me. His eyes light up as he remembers who I am and I feel a blush come over my cheeks, burning my face.

"This is a new student" says my teacher. "He has transferred here from an arts school that got closed down due to lack of funding, so let's make him very welcome."

Dang I've just missed his name! 'Oh well, I'll know it soon enough' I think to myself. The teacher has to pick someone to show him the ropes and he his guide, and I realise that the chair next to me is empty, and another blush rushes back to my face and I look at the boy, who is looking at me.
"May I choose a place to sit?" He asks. The teacher, looking surprised nods in agreement, and the boy walks eagerly towards me and stands, asking in a soft, gentle voice "may I sit next to you? I need a friend."
I nod carefully and Agree to this, still blushing non stop!
He walks around the table and sits next to me and I immediately start to phase out. Anxiety attack, again.
