After taking Karin from the roof I thought it was a good idea to call my dad. I called and explained everything best as I could to him without trying to fall to pieces.

Not even ten minutes later he was at the schools front office taking with the receptionist lady. Who looked more bored than concerned with the well-being of students. In absence of his mother my parents were written down as emergency contacts for Karin.

Flashes of Karin dangling his legs from the school roof ran through my mind like a bag of ice running down someone's back. Ms. Anderson suggested that I should take the rest of the day off considering what happened. I reassure her that I was okay to continue with the rest of the day.

In my mind keeping myself occupied was always what I did when things seemed unbearable. Distractions kept my mind off emotions I tend to set aside.

It was nearing lunch time, so I made my way to the one place I never thought I would be at the gym. Most of the students liked to hang out at the gym before lunch it was like a free class period to just roam between gym or the library.  Axial Greyson wanted to meet me here.

All eyes were on me what happened to Karin spread like wild fire. I could hear the hush tones of a few peers that were by the gyms entrance. Maybe they thought they were being quite when in fact I could hear almost everything they were saying.

"Can you believe it? Karin Lucas tried to off himself." The girl with short blonde hair semi-whispered to Jason Blunder who was eyeing me all smugly. I wish I could just wipe that smirk off his dumb face or wipe his existence from this face of the earth.

"If you ask me, he should of jumped done is all a favor." Jason chuckles making sure he said it loud enough for me to hear.

Never was I the violent type I have always been more of a solve it with words than fists type of person. In this instance though I wanted nothing more then to just let my fist be introduced to Jason's face.

I felt like this school was filled with ignorant barbarians.

"Queers don't belong here or anywhere." Jason adds fueling the fire that was already set ablaze.

I clench my fist tightly making my way towards him in a blinding rage. I had enough of homophobes like him running around call lgbt people abominations. We had rights just like straight people did. The difference was we had to fight every day just to be able hold the person we loved band.

The opportunity to hit Jason Blunder was missed when unexpectedly, Axial sucker punches him right in his face. It was like she literally appeared out of thin air I didn't notice her anywhere in the gym before. Near the gym entrance stood Camila who was glaring at Jason with her signature icy stare.

"You stupid bitch!" Jason yells hold his jaw. Axial just narrows her eyes at him with her fist clenched to her sides.

"No your the bitch. Does it make you feel better being in the closet by bullying others who aren't afraid of their sexuality?" Get it Axial she was saying and doing everything I wanted to. I felt a warmth settle in my chest while looking at Axial.

Axial glances over at me for a split second when Jason gets up and punches her in the stomach.

Clutching her stomach Axial stormy eyes mets Jason's; "Feel more like a man now?"

I don't know what came over me or my feet but I found myself planted in between Axial and Jason.

"Both of you let's just stop."

I didn't want Axjal to get hurt not that I didn't think she could take Jason. In fact I'm pretty sure she could snap in like a twig and roast s'mores on his corpse.

"Nerdy girl came to save her girlfriend?" Jason mocks spitting a stand of his blood on the gym floor.

For one that was very unhygienic of him who wanted his dna on the floor there went a ton of stds and aids and secondly I was nobody's girlfriend.

"No she's just trying stop you from receiving an early death." Axial adds darkly. Axial eyes were dilated from the rage she was absolutely seething.

"Like that could happen." Jason cockily retorts getting ready to hit me. Remember guys I said I wasn't good at dodging right? Well dodging in fights that is I'm very good at dodging questions and the human species usually.

Before Jason fists could meet my face Camila appears in front of me ready to take the punch like someone sort of white knight.

"Jason stop!" Camila screams with authority. I could definitely see Camila being a cop or a teacher one day she had the authoritative demeanor down to a t.

My eyes traveled to her face which was set in a scold then they traveled to her chest where she was sporting a white blouse with some open cleavage. Finally my eyes landed on her legs where she wore skinny denim jeans. Camila Steele was the definition of a femme fatale.

"Oh look what we have here nerd's knight in shining armor." That stupid remark actually earned a few laughs from our classmates.

"You know what? I'm glad you didn't show up to the movies. Evelyn made a way better date than you." Camila states matter-of-factly adding salt to his poor ego.

These queen bees really didn't hold back do they? I guess they were on top for a reason and now I knew why. For my own safety I hope I never crossed them ever.

"Like she could please you with what she has." Jason says with distaste.

"Even her pinky would be an upgrade from your little manhood. I use the term manhood very lightly." Oh he needed some ointment to go with that burn. Usually I didn't mind Camila going full force with her unfiltered mouth, but people had their eyes on me and it made my skin crawl.

Everyone would start to think I was sleeping with Camila Steele. Which was crazy because I could hardly interact with a girl let alone sleep with one. Besides the one time with Axial Greyson and that's all we did was sleep.

   " I had enough of you fa**." Before I even realize it Jason lunges at me and tackles me to the ground. He lands a kick in my left side causing me to double over in pain. Come on what would my inner ninja do? Jason hands came around my neck and he had a tight grasp on me I couldn't seem to move.

   Somehow among the chaos I managed to wiggle my foot from underneath him and kicked him where it hurt.

  Doubling over Jason curls up like a little baby rocking back and forth.

    Both Axial and Camila looked at me surprised with my actions. To be honest I was thrown back too. I never lashed out on anybody before like I did with Jason. Built up resentment towards the ones who bullied you for a lifetime would do that to a person.

   Camila bends down and begins looking at my body for any bruises. "Are you okay?" She asks worryingly while still examining me.  Trying not to think much of Camila delicate hands roaming my body  I speak up.

   "Yeah I think he came out worse." I chuckle then inhale sharply there was pain radiating from my left side where I got kicked.

   Axial just kind of lurks in the background noticing Camila attention towards me. What did she want from me?

   Slightly frowning to myself I had to ask. "Why did you come here charging like a white knight?" She always seemed like a white knight to me. My question earns a chuckle from Camila.

   "I guess I did. I hear what happened with Karin I just wanted to check in on you." Camila softly whispers looking at me with gentleness afraid that her big reveal was going scare me away. Oddly enough it didn't I felt even more connected with Camila and Axial after this experience.

    "I'm alright." I truthfully say trying to stand up only to met by sharp pains in my ribs.

   Axial silent the whole time finally adds in, "You don't look fine. You could have a broken rib."

   "It's probably just a bruise." I hiss out clutching my side. Well this was probably more than just a bruise. Not wanting to alarm Axial or Camila I try my best to give them a reassuring smile.

   Axial still not looking convinced suggested that I should go to the school nurse and be checked out. I kept reassuring her that I was fine.  Camila seeing Axial was taking care of me made her way to the exit of the gym.

   "Are you always this stubborn?" Axial huffs out slightly annoyed at me.

  "That depends." I mysteriously add back smirking at her.

   "On?" Axial waifs for me to continue on with my last comment but I leave it.  Leaving Axial a bit more frustrated with me than what she was before.

   "Before all the drama transpired, you was going ask me something?" I recall her wanting to meet me in the gym for a favor.

   Axial looks deep in thought for a moment then says, "Ah yeah I was but now that your all beaten up I feel ashamed to even ask."

   I eye her to see if she was joking. Axial didn't look like she was joking but she wasn't she has a serious look on her face.

   "Well I already done a favor for Camila. Why not for you?" I suggest really hoping these words don't come back to bite me on the butt.

   Axial smiles at my suggestion. A actual full length smile that only lasts for a minute. It quickly disappeared as it appeared.

   "Partner with me".  She asks stopping right in front of me in the school hallway.

  Deja vu again. What made these queen bees think I was qualified to help them?

   "What makes you think I'm qualified to help you?" I voice out my thoughts crossing my arms in a almost stance like matter.

  "Trust me your perfect for the job. All I need from you is to help me practice".  Did she know I wasn't very athletic compared to her.

  "Before you jump to conclusions in the brainiac brain of yours not it's not sports related."

   I breath out a sigh of relief.

   "Oh, then what do you need help with?" I ask curious to what Axial Greyson possibly needed help with.
