Hazel POV

I am in a store looking for some clothes along with everybody else. "Lily can we leave now. I have enough clothes." I whine to Lily as she searches for more clothes for me.

She shakes her head no and I groan as I walk off. All of sudden I bump into someone and I fall to the ground, "Ow. My butt hurts now."

Someone puts their hand in front of me. I look up and see a boy who is about my age smiling at me, "I'm so sorry, I didn't see you there." I take his hand and he pulls me up, "It's okay, I was hoping you would hurt more than my butt, so I can go home."

He lets out a soft laugh, "I'm Austin. What's yours?" I move my hand out of his and hug myself, "It's Hazel."

He looks at his phone and then back at me, "I'll buy you some ice cream to make up for hurting your butt." I shake my head and smile, "No, it's fine. I'll be alright."

I start to walk off, but he grabs my arm to stop me. "I'll buy you a cupcake. Please take the cupcake." I look at him and nod my head quickly.

He starts laughing as we walk out of the store and towards the food court, "I'm guessing you really love cupcakes." I smile and nod my head, "Yeah I do, but I never notice a cupcake stand in the food court."

We walk pass the food court and I see small stands down another section, "Its pass the food court." We walk up to the cupcake stand and order some cupcakes.

We sit down at a table nearby, "What school do you go to?" I look at him as I take a bite out of my cupcake. "Blue Saint High."

His eyes widen, "I go to that school and I've never seen you before." He looks at me closely and I move back, "I used to always wear hoodies. I would cover my face with my hood."

"Your the girl that sits at the window all the time in the cafeteria." My eyes widen, "How did you recognize me?" He shrugs his shoulders, "Your right hand."

I hold my hand up, "My right hand? What about it?" He takes a bite of his cupcake, "I walk by you every day and I noticed your birthmark." I look at him shock and he smiles.

"I would always wonder why would you always wear a hood? Why are you hiding?" I put my head down and sigh, "I used to get bully up until now. The only thing protecting me at that time was my hoodie."

He snatches my cupcake out of my hand, "Give me my cupcake back!" He shakes his head no, "Do you have someone now? Are they your true friends?" I stop pulling his arm and slowly nod my head, "They helped me get rid of the bullying."

He hands me back my cupcake and smile, "That's good. Now let's get off this sad topic and get to know each other."

Ian POV

"Where's Quiet?" I ask Shane and he looks around and shrugs his shoulders, "Don't call her, Lily took her phone." I roll my eyes and walk up to Lily.

"Where's Quiet?" She looks at me with an arch eyebrow, "I don't know, she was just here a second ago." I let out a sigh, "She'll find us later on. Let's go to a different store."

I look over at Mason and see him dragging his feet, "I'm tired of shopping. That's why Hazel ran off somewhere. She should have taken me with her." I grab Hannah hand and roll my eyes at Mason, "Why did you come anyway?"

"I wanted something to eat." Hannah starts laughing. I look at her and smile to myself.

I still do have feelings for her, but I just want to take things slow between us.

"Lily! We are all ready to go! This is the last store." Shane says as he drags Lily by the arm, "Fine. Let's just go look for Hazel and leave." We all smile and start looking for Quiet.

Hour Later

"Ugh!! Where the hell is Cupcake?!" Lily hits Shane, "Stop being so loud. Everybody's looking over here." Shane glares at Lily and lets out a long sigh, "Me and Hannah are going to go by the food court. Y'all go back to the other stores and look for her."

Me and Hannah start walking towards the food court. All of sudden Hannah pulls me, "Isn't that Hazel right there?" Hannah points down a section and I see Quiet talking to some guy.

We walk up to them and Quiet looks up at me. "Hey Ian and Hannah." The boys stand up and smile at us, "We have been looking for you for a whole hour."

She frowns at me, "I'm sorry, I lost track of time hanging with Austin." I look at Austin and he looks at me, "I'm sorry, I forced her to hang with me."

Quiet laughs, "He bribed me with a cupcake." Austin starts laughing, "I'll see you at school Hazel. I had fun getting to know you." He walks off and Quiet waves and smile at him.

"Cupcake?! Where have you been?!" Shane walks up to us and takes Quiet hand, "We have been looking for you for an hour. Next time tell us where you go."

We all walk back to the parking lot, "Can you drop me off at my house?" We all look at Quiet, "I need to get home."

I nod my head, "I'll take you home." She looks at me and smile. She gets in the car with me and Hannah.

We leave the parking lot and head to Quiet house, "Are you coming to Ian fight?" Hannah ask and I look at Quiet through the rearview mirror, "I'm not sure, I know Shane wants to go, but Austin asked to hang out Friday night."

My eyes widen and Hannah smile, "You just met that guy and you're already about to hang out with him." She nods her head, "Yeah, I might just hang with him and go to your next fight."

I squeeze the steering wheel and let out a soft sigh. We pull up to Quiet house and she runs in the house.

"You must really want her to come." I look at Hannah and arch my eyebrow in confusion, "What do you mean?"

She points to my hands, "Your hands tighten around the steering wheel when she said she wouldn't make it to your fight." I look at her and then back at the road, "It's not that, it's just that I worry for her. She was getting bully like two weeks ago."

She lets out a long sigh, "There's no need for you to get jealous of her. You are the one who is on my mind the most." She starts laughing, "I'm not jealous."

I let out a soft laugh and grab her hand, "I know you're not."

At School

I'm sitting in my English class with Quiet and Shane, "Is our teacher every going to be here?" Cupcake you do know that you have all eyes on you, right?"

I look at Shane and then at Quiet and she shrugs her shoulders, "Is it because I look different without my hood?" I let out a soft laugh, "Maybe because they never seen what you really look like."

She looks at me and then around the classroom, "I'm scared to walk around by myself." I look at her and point to myself, "We have all the same classes, we can walk together." She shakes her head no, "You and Hannah are going to be with each other and I don't want to third wheel."

"I don't have to walk with her all the time." She arches her eyebrow at me, "Why wouldn't you?" I shrug my shoulders, "I don't know, maybe I want to walk with you sometime." She starts laughing, "Yeah right. Hannah will think something."

I let out a long sigh, "Cupcake remember what me and Lily told you. Just ignore them and keep your head up." Shane smiles at Quiet, "I'm going to keep repeating it in my head."

Quiet puts her hand on her head. She is so used to having her hoodie on that out of habit she feels like she has to adjust an imaginary hood.

"Are you going to practice today?" She looks at me and smile, she pulls her shirt up and shows her stomach, "Yeah! The bruises are gone! I told Lily I would come."

"Make sure you keep Lily in check." Quiet looks at Shane with an arch eyebrow, "Why? What's wrong?"

Shane looks at me, "You didn't tell her that Hannah is now on the team?" Quiet looks at me and smile, "At least she gets to cheer you on." I nod my head and face the front.

Lunch

We're sitting at our lunch table when all of sudden someone stops in front of our table, "I couldn't find you at all this morning."

Quiet smiles at Austin and pat the spot beside her, "It's probably because I look different that you haven't noticed me."

He sits beside Quiet, "Austin this is Shane, Lily, and Mason. You already met Ian and Hannah." Austin smiles at all of us, "I already know Mason, we're on the baseball team together."

Him and Mason do a handshake over Quiet head, "Aren't you sitting with other people?" He looks at me and shakes his head no, "This is my first time actually sitting in here. I don't sit with anybody."

"You can sit with us now." He smiles at Quiet, "Austin doesn't really like sitting with people or big groups." Mason says as he peels Quiet orange, "But aren't we a big group of people?"

Austin looks at Shane and shrugs his shoulders, "Mason and Hazel are here, so it's an exception." Lily starts laughing, "I like you, I don't mind you hanging with us from now on."
