"I can't believe that nuisance of a girl did that to you" Samuel said while we were walking out of the bathroom. I then turned to him "I'm not going to let her get away that easily after humiliating me in the cafeteria" Tom then walked up to me "I think you should just let her be, I mean you were the one who started everything" I looked at him In disbelief " what are you saying, didn't you see how she humiliated me back there?".

"He's right you know" I heard a familiar voice, I turned to see Bryan standing at the entrance of the bathroom door, "Where you listening to our conversation?" He smirked "You got what you deserved today Jack, next time you won't go around bullying people" he then walked off, he didn't even answer my question, fool.

Tom then turned to me "You should think about what I said, just let her be, she's not someone who's going to get bullied and not retaliate, right Samuel?" Samuel nodded, I looked at both at them at total disbelief "Even you Samuel?" he just nodded " I think he's right Jack, let it be, let's get to class, you can't go back to the cafeteria after what happened" they tapped my shoulder lightly and just walked away as if I wasn't telling them something important just now.

"I can't believe this two, they didn't even offer to help, whatever,I'm going to deal with her all by myself without any of their help"

Merry's POV

After the incident, I and Emily went to get food, then went to take our seat, I then remembered I forgot to take Emily's number,

"Hey Emily, your number please I forgot to ask you yesterday " she then looked up and looked as if she just remembered something she forgot, "oh, yeah that's right, I too forgot to take yours" she then took my phone from my hands and put her number, "Thank you " she looked amused at what I said, I wonder why, she then said " Why are you thanking me, I mean we are besties now" I smiled at her "okay,I've heard you".

Just then Bryan walked in and sat beside Emily, for some moments I kept staring at him, and thought about how he stood up for me the other day.

He patted Emily's head while taking his seat "Hi there little sis" Emily smarked his hands away " how many times do I have to tell you I'm not a little girl anymore" he laughed lightly "I'm sorry,my bad" he then turned to me with the most cutest bright smile ever, " Hi Merry" I smiled back at him of course "Hi Bryan" he then continued "I heard what happened between you and Jack minutes ago, I must say you're not a naive girl" I smiled at what he said "yeah I'm not" Emily cleared her throat really loudly for us to hear her " I hope I don't become the third wheel" Bryan smacked her arms lightly " We were just having little conversation silly, nothing more" they argued more and I just watched them, I smiled at the lovely, cute fight they were having, I wished I had a sibling.

I looked at Bryan, and I most say he's handsome, oh did I forget to mention,he's the most handsome guy in our school, omg what am I thinking, stop it Merry.

Few minutes later I was done with my lunch, and I noticed Emily wasn't done, but Bryan was, I must say Emily is a really slow eater. I got up to go and drop my plate, "Emily I'm going to drop my plate, should I come back and wait for you?, she smiled at me brightly "Yes please, you're the sweetest friend ever"

I laughed a little "okay I'll right back" I then got up to leave just then Bryan got up to "I'll accompany you there, I mean I'm also going to go keep my plates, let's go together" I just nodded. Emily cleared her throat loudly again " you guys are giving couples goal" I looked at her shocked, Bryan smacked her arms again "Just finish eating snail" I laughed at what he called her, he then turned to me " let's go Merry" we were almost close to where we were supposed to keep the plates when Bryan just stopped all of a sudden and faced me, I almost bumped into him, "What happened?" He then leaned closer to my face, he did that because he wanted to tell me something but for some reason I thought he wanted to kiss me. I took a step back "what are you doing Bryan" he just smirked "nothing much just wanted to ask if I could be your friend too?" I stood there in disbelief "huh?" He nodded "yeah, can I also be your friend,or you don't want to become friends with me?" I shook my head "no that's not it, okay fine from now on we are friends" he smiled brightly and stood up straight "Thank you, so now can I have your number?" He took his phone out of his pocket and gave it to me "here take, please your number" I collected the phone from him and saved my number on his phone and gave it back to him, he offered to shake my hand "so Merry Alexander, friends?" I took his hands "yeah friends" the moment I took his hands, I felt butterflies in my stomach, omg, do I have a crush on Bryan?, it seems so, I just smiled brightly at him, then we went to keep our plates and went back to seat with Emily.

Bryan's POV

We were done with our geography class, now it's time for lunch, I headed for the bathroom first, after I entered into one of the bathroom, I heard Jack's voice with his friends. I peeped through the key hole and saw his friends, I saw Tom and Samuel helping him clean up, but why?, what happened?. Jack smiled at them "Thanks guys", this is the first time I'm seeing that bully being generous,Tom and Samuel smiled at him and said "Don't mention " at the same time,they all laughed, I wonder what's funny, anyway that's not my business I stopped looking at them through the key hole and waited for them to go out, they went out few minutes after they were done.

I went out of the bathroom and was about to go out when I heard Samuel's voice, "I can't believe that nuisance of a girl did that to you", what girl were they talking about, was it a girl that messed up Jack's uniform, but no girl will do that, cause they are all afraid of that idiot, except one person, omg, was it Merry?.

Jack then turned to Samuel "I'm not going to let her get away that easily after humiliating me in the cafeteria". What is this idiot going to do again?, I was about to walk up to him when Tom told Jack "I think you should just let her be, I mean you were the one who started everything" Jack just looked at him In disbelief "what are you saying, didn't you see how she humiliated me back there?".

I was very happy, at least a sensible person is among them.

"He's right you know?" Jack turned to look at me shocked "Where you listening to our conversation?" I smirked at him just to annoy him, to annoy him further I didn't even answer his lame question "You got what you deserved today Jack, next time you won't go around bullying people" I then walked off.

I got into the cafeteria, I bought my lunch and saw Emily and Merry, I just stared at Merry and thought to myself, she's beautiful and also brave, such a nice combination.

I walked up to them and sat beside Emily

I patted Emily's head while taking my seat "Hi there little sis" Emily smarked my hands away "how many times do I have to tell you I'm not a little girl anymore" i laughed lightly "I'm sorry,my bad" i then turned to Merry and smiled at her, " Hi Merry" she smiled back at me "Hi Bryan" I decided to praise her a little for what she did to Jack "I heard what happened between you and Jack minutes ago, I must say you're not a naive girl" she smiled at what i said "yeah I'm not "Emily cleared her throat really loudly for us to hear her,"I hope I don't become the third wheel" I smacked her arms lightly " We were just having little conversation silly, nothing more" she argued more with me, gosh Emily is such a headache.

Few minutes later I was done with my lunch, and I noticed Merry was also done with her lunch, but Emily wasn't,Emily is a really slow eater, that's why she's not fat. Just then I heard Merry talking to Emily, "Emily I'm going to drop my plate, should I come back and wait for you?, Emily smiled at her brightly "Yes please, you're the sweetest friend ever", they'll be good friends for a very long time, I should also become Merry's friend too.

Merry laughed a little "okay I'll right back" she then got up to leave, this is my chance to ask her to be my friend "I'll accompany you there, I mean I'm also going to go keep my plates, let's go together" she just nodded. Emily cleared her throat loudly again " you guys are giving couples goal" I looked at her shocked, I smacked her arms again "Just finish eating snail" Merry laughed at what i called her, I then turned to her "let's go Merry" we were almost close to where we were supposed to keep the plates when i just stopped and faced her, she almost bumped into me and looked up at me, "What happened?" I then leaned closer to her face, I did that because i wanted to tell her something but for some reason I had the urge to kiss her, but why though?. She took a step back, and I'm really glad she did. "what are you doing Bryan" I just smirked "nothing much just wanted to ask if I could be your friend too?" She stood there in disbelief "huh?" I just nodded "yeah, can I also be your friend,or you don't want to become friends with me?" She shook her head "no that's not it, okay fine from now on we are friends" I smiled brightly and stood up straight "Thank you, so now can I have your number?" I took out my phone from my pocket and gave it to her "here take, please your number" she collected the phone from me and saved her number on my phone and gave it back to me,I took it from her,"so Merry Alexander, friends?" I brought my hands forward for a handshake, she shook my hands "yeah friends" the moment she took my hands, I felt butterflies in my stomach, I've never felt this way before, what happened?, do I have a crush on Merry? We then dropped our plates and went back to seat with Emily..
