The quiet boy

My feet were sore, It was 11pm on a Sunday and I made the dumb mistake on walking home. How could I have been so stupid? Why would I opted to walk home? I need to somehow learn how not to be a people pleaser, I signed thinking that to myself. I was walking through a park, it was the fastest way to get home and I was tired, I know it was an even more stupid idea to go through there but what can I say, I’m not really the brightest sometimes. I could hear a bunch of laughing up ahead, and some muffled voices it “f**k, there’s men up there” I mumbled to myself everything in my gut told me to go the other way so I started to turn around when I heard a female voice, I couldn’t quite make out what she was saying but I needed to know she was safe “What the hell was I gonna do?? Yes I’ve taken kick boxing since I was 5 but up against a whole bunch of men? I’m 5’2 and weigh 55kgs” I thought to myself as i continue to walk closer. I could make out there was 5 guys from where I was but I couldn’t see the girl yet, they men were standing in the way “f**k me, now I need to get closer, maybe I should have taken up Judo instead, I could have pulled out some black widow s**t on them” I tried to get a better angle on them to see the woman without getting to close, but that’s when I heard a familiar voice “you sure you’re doing ok?” OMFG IT WAS JUSTIN, THANK GOD! I hadn’t realised till now but my heart was beating fast, my body was shaky and I wasn’t breathing, I let out a sigh of release. Justin was 5”10, had these gorgeous hazel eyes, with shaggy brown hair, had the caramel skin tone, he was lean but still had some muscle. he was on the basketball team at school, I live in a town that is not big enough to not run into anyone you know when your out but not small enough to know everyone “Yea I’m ok, I just feel a little sick, I just needed to sit down” I don’t recognise the voice, I move up to the group of boys “You really shouldn’t be doing that in a park this late at night, do you know your address? Or a number to call so someone can pick you up?” I didn’t mention he was a really big sweetheart, heart of gold! He was one of the only genuine guys at the school, that you knew he wouldn’t hurt you, too bad he’s taken “I don’t know, I’m sorry” she started to sob “Come on dude! Just leave her here, she’ll be fine” Austin said Austin was like a chad, attractive but a douchebag, he was on the basketball team as well. he only really cared about himself, I hated him. “Hey guys!” I say as I finally reach them, eyeing “Chad” up down “Is everything alright here?” I look at the girl with a smile feeling everyones attention divert to me, “Hey Olivia! Yea she’s just really drunk, and I can’t seem to get her to move, or tell me anything” Justin say with a worried tone in his voice “I mean I would do the same, a bunch of guys I don’t know, at a park, drunk” I said laughing a little “Hey can I please help you? Is there anyone contacts you can give me?” She looked at me with a small smile “Yea, my mum should still be awake! Here’s my phone” I took the phone from her hands, seeing it was iPhone 11 I turned it towards her face and unlocked it, i found the contacts and put mum into the search bar, and hit the call button Ring..ringg..ring “Hey sweetheart, are you ok???” Her mum said in a slightly concerned tone “Hey, this is Olivia here! Me and some of my mates found your daughter drunk in a park by herself, would it be ok if you come pick her up?” I said while just looking at the girl, looking like she was going to throw up “Oh dear, I’m sorry! Is she ok? Where abouts are you guys” her tone changed to stressed “Well I think the boys are wanting to get home” I said looking at chad with a dirty look, he just rolled his eyes “I don’t think we should stay in a park by ourselves so imma try get her to walk to my house which is a 5 mins walk up the road, would you be able to pick her there?” “Yes!! I Ofc I can do that! Please just text through the address I’m just getting my my shoes on now” “Will do! See you soon” I said before hanging up, after texting through the address, I handed the random girl her phone back “Do you need any help getting her home?” Justin asked “Nah, I should be fine” I said looking at him “Ok, if you need anything just message me on Insta” he said before turning to leave “We’re going back to mine, where your is mum going to pick us up” I said bending down to try and help the girl up, she nodded and stood up! “What your name by the way?” I said tryna make small talk “I’m Kayla” she slurred out So much for getting home faster, I smiled to myself We reached my house and her mum picked her up about 15 mins after we got there, finally getting to sleep around 12. Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! I groaned as my alarm went off, why must school be so early?? Just 10 more minutes I thought to myself, just as I was falling back to sleep “GET UP NOW” I heard a grumpy voice barging through my door, she ripped my blankets off my bed “OK! I’m getting up mum” I said in a grumpy tone opening my eyes “Good! It’s your first day of senior year!” She said with a smirk “but watch how your talking to me” I just groaned, she rolled her eyes and left. My mum and I don’t really have the best relationship, shes a bit invasive with my space and really doesn’t understand boundaries. I did my normal routine of making breakfast, having a coffee and then going up stairs to get ready. I was brushing my teeth, looking at how tired I looked, i think I’m quite average looking, wavy light brown hair, sorta tanned skin, had a very average body, I only had a C cup, my a*s had some kinda shape but wasn’t something you would double take for, my waist and hips were just the normal body shape as well, I think the only thing I had going for me was my bright blue eyes that’s just based on my physical appearance. I did my very basic makeup look, which was just a bit of eye liner and mascara, then grabbing a pair of black skinny jeans, and green crew neck jumper, I went down stairs to say goodbye and put my favourite pair of shoes on, which were my air Jordan’s 1, getting into my car which was just a Mazda 3 2010, I drove to school. Walking into the same old hallways I’m used to something felt a little different, something was in the air, it was a little unsettling, dropping my books off at my locker, I take out my phone to text my best friend that here, I could see I already receive a notification from her 10 mins ago “Hurry up and get her a*s to school, I’m bored and miss you, I’ll meet you in the cafeteria” “You literally saw you 3 days ago hahah I’ll see you soon” I sent while smiling to myself Beatrice has been my best friend since I was 10, we used to get bullied when we were younger, she’s apart of the popular group now, she vice captain on the cheerleading squad, now she’s stunning, she has piercing green eyes, beautiful black hair, hourglass figure, plump lips and to tops it off that she has an amazing personality too, she’s really kind and caring but a little bit naive as well. I walked into the cafeteria to see that so many people had already arrived, looking around I seeing my best friend, walking up to her she see me and runs up to hugs me like she always does “why do you always take so long to get to school” she whined “Because unlike yourself I like sleeping and don’t have to get up for practice” I said rolling my eyes “So unfair! you should come to one my practices” she said with a wide grin “Absolutely fuckin not, that means getting up early” I scoffed “You don’t love me” she said in an exaggerated tone “please just one time” she begged I looked at her and saw she seem to actually be genuine about this one “plus I would do the same for you! Remember when I show up to one your kick boxing matches” Sighing “fine, you make a fair point, when do you want me to show up??” “Tomorrow!!!” She said super excitedly “We need to get to class” I said turning around and dragging my feet, knowing I was going to be bored out of my mind. I only got Beatrice in one of my classes so I don’t really see her in my classes, I turn up to my first class was calculus, I’m not really smart I just work hard so my grades consist of Bs or B+ in expect for literacy I normally get A’s The class really seemed to drag out but there was only 5 minutes left of the class and I couldn’t wait for it to be over, the teacher was just no stop talking and it was about her holiday, like bro no one cares that your went to Europe, I put my head down into my desk just hoping the bell would ring and this would be over. Lunchtime finally arrived, heading to the cafeteria after dropping my stuff off at the lockers I was looking down at my feet daydreaming when I bumped into someone making him drop all his stuff “I’m so sorry!!” I said in an apologetic voice reaching down to help pick the stuff up “Don’t worry” I heard someone deep voice mumble, I looked up has it didn’t sound familiar, my eye widen it was Noah, the guy that sit at the back of my literacy class, I’ve never heard him talk, even when the teacher calls his name out he just nods his head “I should watch where I’m going I really am sorry, here’s your books” I said handing his books back, with a smile “Thanks” he grabbed the books and gave me one last glance before heading off I never realised how attractive he was, his dark features, he strong jaw line, he had striking green eyes, his lips looked soft, he voice was deep, I felt memorised by him..
