Attention x Protection

It's the first day of school in Mckendell High and there are a lot of students already even though it is only 7 in the morning. Usually, the gates of the school won't be too crowded unless it is 8 in the morning because classes don't usually start by 9. But there is a reason while there are a lot of students waiting in front of the school and the majority of them are girls.

And now it has begun...

Exactly 7:10, the center of attraction has arrived, Xander Smith, the son of a very wealthy and well-known family, also the face of the school and the ultimate flirt in the entire campus. As soon as Xander's car arrived at the parking of the school, girls were swarming and screaming his name out loud like he was a celebrity.

Xander doesn't mind the attention he receives from the others, heck he loves the attention, he feels wanted and loved, something he never experienced from his family. His greediness from attention made him the person he is right there and he couldn't care less what others feel, all he wants is their love and adoration for him.

He maid his way to the admission office to get his schedules and room no. and when he got there he winked and flirted to the attendant of the office that made the girl blushed uncontrollably. Feeling of satisfaction he left and gave winks to the other female students that kept on following him.

On his way to his classroom, he heard a voice call out his name although there was a lot of screaming and giggles from the girls that hanged in the hallway.

"Yow Xander!" he looked at the direction of the voice and he saw him, his biggest rival, Justin Curtis, he loves to compete and challenge Xander to win even though he always loses every single time. 'here we go again' Xander thought to himself while standing in his spot waiting for what idiotic thing will the other say to him.

He rise an eyebrow to the other while grinning giving the other the 'what do you want' face. "I just wanted to know how was your vacation, I heard you went overseas..." Justin trailed off giving Xander a smirk and spoke again, "...and you spend it alone again, as usual. Let me guess its a FAMILY outing but you were left in the middle of the vacation, am I right" he circled around Xander making sure he ruins the other day. Justin knows how the other family is like, never had the time for their son ignoring the latter and that is his weapon in pissing and annoying Xander.

Xander was absolutely pissed from what the other said but he didn't show it because like the other he doesn't like losing. After calming himself internally, Xander finally spoke. "At least they planned to give time for me..." he said while eyeing Justin from head to toe and came close to him and whispered "...how about you, did your parents even spare time to even talk to you?" and with that Xander had yet won again against Justin. "Next time, if your planning on pissing me off, make sure you in a good situation," he smirked cheekily and left the other from his spot and went straight to his classroom.

Time skipped, and it was lunchtime. Xander was with some of his classmates that decided to glued themselves to him but he couldn't care less and just allowed them. They plan to buy some foods but something caught Xander's attention, a girl being bullied on the FIRST day! He watched while the two girls pulled the other before sitting and fell on the ground. 'what the fucked are they doing' another thought in his mind while watching the scene not so far from him. he saw the other girl with long blonde hair yelled at the other on the floor "GET UP BITCH!" she said and grabbed the girl by the collar of her school uniform.

The small girl was crying from fear and something happened in Xander that he didn't expect. While watching what was happening, he felt annoyed and angry seeing the two girls bullying and hurting the smaller girl and Xander has had enough of the scene. He walked straight to the girls that were bullying the other girl while his classmates were calling for him but he didn't care, he furious of what was happening, and seeing that nobody was stopping it made him more annoyed. He saw the blonde slapped the smaller in her face and was about to fall but he was just in time and grabbed the smaller before she could fall on the ground was again.

"X-Xander...what are you doing?!" the blonde girl asked shocked by Xander's action. "I should be the one asking the both of you that!" he spoke a little loud with a hint of annoyance, he lifted the girl in her arms and faced her, "Are you okay?" he looked at the smaller seeing tears falling from the smaller's eyes.

"It's okay, stop crying" he offered his handkerchief he got from his back pocket to wipe the smaller's tears but she did not react or respond. He was about to wipe the girls' tears when someone grabbed his shoulder turning him around. "Get away from my man you slut!" again the girl with the blonde hair said and was about to slap the smaller girl again when another girl appeared from who knows where and push the blonde hair girl resulting in her falling from the ground.

"WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST SAY! I WARNED YOU TO NEVER TOUCH MIO AGAIN YOU BITCHES!" the newly arrived girl yelled at the other and glare to the other girl that was also bullying the smaller earlier. Xander saw that the girl was about pounce at the blonde-haired girl and he decided to stop hair.

"That's enough!" he said stopping the girl from pouncing to the other but he could feel the girl trying to break free from his hold. The girl was absolutely pissed and stepped on the male's foot and elbowed him in the stomach resulting in the taller to yelp in pain and escaping from him. When she was about to punch the blonde girl a voice stopped her.

"SAM STOP!" the girl raised her voice for the other to hear and grabbing the other students who were just watching the whole time. Sam and Xander both turned around to see Mio still in her spot and is still crying. "S-Sam, please stop. Please" Mio pleaded tears still falling down from her eyes head now facing the floor.

Sam felt her heart shatters into millions of pieces seeing her friend like that. Sam actually has anger issues were she can't control it, but after seeing Mio she felt soft and her anger replaced with worry, and with that, she stopped trying to punch the blonde hair girl named Amanda and went straight to her friend and hugged her.

Xander who was watching it, felt the same as Sam when he saw Mio. It was his first time feeling like that for anyone and there was another feeling that appeared, the feeling of wanting to protect. He didn't know why but he has the urge to protect the smaller like he has to. He was utterly confused but at the same time couldn't refuse. That's when he finally decided...

"I want to get close to her! I want to protect her!"
