Just me. Saving Enoch's ass.

(Book AU)
It all started in science class. We were experimenting on frogs. Dissecting, to be exact. The thought of cutting open a frog corpse made me sick to my stomach. Just as I was about to slice open it's slimy chest with my knife, some girl screamed, 'IT'S ALIVE!!!'

'Alive? That's not-'

The whole class started to scream. I turned around as the dead amphibian once again rose and hopped around. I dove under my desk and a small cry escaped from the hand-covered mouth. What the hell is going on!?

Suddenly, my teacher rose to his feet and yelled. 'You!'
'Me? Really? What makes you think that?' said a boy in an 'innocent' tone.
'Yes you! Don't play stupid with me!'
I looked over my desk at my livid teacher, cornering a boy.
'What did you do?!'
'I was only having a bit of fun.'
'ANSWER ME. WHAT DID YOU DO!?'
He pulled out something small and red. Almost like a heart. (Little bit gory, honestly)
'What the hell is that!?' said my teacher, disgusted.
'A heart, Sir.'
My eyes widened when he said the H word. No, it couldn't- but it was. Enoch O'Connor.

The teacher's face turned into a dark, sickening scowl. Enoch held his hands infront for space, but he pushed them away, hard.
I've got to get Enoch out of there.'
'Listen here, kid. I don't know who the hell you are, but-'
I grabbed Enoch's wrist and bolted towards the fire escape. He looked at me with confusion. After a few moments of silence, he spoke.

'Why are you helping me?' he asked, still running.
'I know it's you, Enoch.'
He gaped at me, eyes opened wide.
'How do you-'
'I know about the Peculiardom, ok?'
I sighed and shook my head.
'Is it only you here?'
'Nope. Few others, too.'
'Well then, we need to get them since you exposed yourself.'
'No shit, Sherlock.' he said, rolling his eyes slightly.
'Hey, I just saved your ass and that's the attitude you're giving me?'
'Sorry.' he scoffed.

'Anyway, who else is here?'
'Why should I tell you?'
'Enoch, please. I'm not in the mood for your ranting. So cut the crap and tell me.'
After a few seconds, he gave in.
'Bronwyn, Millard, Hugh, Jacob, Emma, Fiona. Horace was going to come but he changed his mind at the last second.'
'And why are you here?'
He huffed.
'Miss P thought it would be good for us if we had "Normal lessons".'
He made quotation marks with his fingers.

'Do you know where the others are?'
'I think Hugh and Fiona are in there.'
He pointed to a classroom not too far off.
'Then that's our first stop.'
'Our?'
I gave him a glare that immediately shut him up.
'For a girl, damn you're scary.' I heard him mutter, shoving his hands into his pockets.
'Thank you.' I thought and knocked on the door.
'By the way, we have fake names. So, refer to them as that.' as he whispered them to me.
'Got it.' I said as I opened the door.
'Hello, Miss. I hate to interrupt, but can I please borrow Hugo and Freya?'
'Hey there, Mr. Robberts, I'm going to need Betty for a bit.'
'May I please take Jack and Erin off you, Miss Peters?'

We now had all of them except for Millard. 'Why did you pull us out?' asked Fiona. 'I was enjoying that class.'
'I really do apologise, Fiona. But somebody screwed the whole game by rising a dead frog in science.' I said.
Everyone but me and Enoch started to groan.
'Damn it, Enoch!' said Hugh.
'Why? Just, why?' sad Bronwyn.
'Oh God, it's the zombie cats all over again, isn't it?' said Jacob.
'Not as bad as that situation.' I said.
'But, who are you?' asked Emma, turning to me.
'Yeah, what was your name again?' Enoch started to click his fingers. 'Kylie, Kaylee...'
'Katelyn.'
'That's the one.'
'And if it weren't for me, Enoch's ass would have been beat by the teacher.'
Bronwyn gasped. 'He wouldn't...'
I went over and put my hands on her shoulders. 'No, no, no. Not literally. The teacher was pissed, that's all.'
'Phew, I thought you meant-'
'No, of course not.'
But secretly, me and Enoch traded and unsure look.
'Wait where's Millard?'
'Right here.' said a voice from behind me. As I turned around and screamed, 
'HOLY SHIT, YOU'RE NAKED!!!'
'Shhhh! Calm down- wait...WHAT.'
