His POV

I can't help but keep my eyes off her, she's just so beautiful. The way her dark hair fall into her deep eyes drives me crazy. I wish I had the courage to say something, but she's got a boyfriend and I'm not exactly the dating type. The only reason I know her is because I help her in biology, that's all I'm known for. I'm the kid who studies and gets the grades, someone like her would never go for someone like me.

"Ash," she says as she looks up at me. Even her voice in beautiful and makes my stomach twist when she says my name.

"Hmm?"

"What did I do wrong here? I'm not getting the right answer," she frowns and I can't help but smile at the cute expression on her face.

I lean closer to look over her work, the proximity making my heart race. I glance up at her face quickly, her eyes skimming over her work carefully and her small nose scrunched up in concentration. Something on her neck catches my eye, something blue or purple on her skin peeking out from under her shirt.

"Ida, what's on your neck?" I ask, pointing it out.

She looks at what I'm pointing at and jumps away from her, tugging on her shirt to cover it. Fear flashes in her eyes and her cheeks flush as she turns away from me quickly.

"Nothing, it's nothing. I'm just, uh, gonna go to the washroom," she fumbles over her words and scrambles up from her desk making her way quickly toward to the door of the classroom.

I sit in shock, not sure what just happened, she's never been so secretive. She was always so open with me even though she was shy by nature, that's what drew me to her. She was the only person who made me feel normal and not like some nerd.

I sigh and lean back in my chair, daydreaming about how things could be if he didn't exist. This goes on for a while and minutes pass without Ida coming back. She couldn't have left because she left all her things.

Feeling slightly torn up by her leaving so suddenly, I stand to leave myself. A bathroom break will do me good, I can splash some cold water on my face and wake myself from this dream that such an amazing girl could be with me.

I leave the room and cross the hall to the guy's restroom, pausing with my hand on the door when I hear a slight whimper coming from inside. Immediately I know it's her and my mind races through all the possibilities as to why she'd be in the guy's bathroom. I hear a hushed whisper, a deep voice and a small cry from her. My adrenaline rushes and I don't think before I push the door open.

I walk in as soon as the palm of his hand collides with her soft skin, leaving a red mark where perfect skin used to be. The sound of skin on skin echoes around the room and my blood starts pumping more than I've ever known.

Seeing Ida clutching her red and tear stained cheek, fear in her deep brown eyes that always look full of light causes me to step between her and her boyfriend.

"Dude, not cool. You can't hit a girl," I say calmly, the motion replaying over again I'm my mind.

"She's my girlfriend dick, I can do whatever the fuck I want to her," he laughs coldly and gives me a shove. I hold my ground, his sneer building anger and fire inside me.
