"Then are you ready to face the world, as long as I'm by your side? I bet we can ask the super nice kid," He paused trying to remember the kid next to him, what his name was. "Oh right, Quinn, I bet we can ask Quinn to switch seats with you."
she nodded standing up holding her hand out.
He took it, and laced their fingers. "After English, I want to walk with you to your next class. No excuses." He smiled, leading her along.
she nodded smiling a bit walking into the English class. Quinn had gladly switched her seats and she sat down with an apology.
Brad reached over, and took her hand in his. "It's really fine Caroline." Quinn smiled brightly, sitting down.
she smiled.
¨Oh Look it´s the snake sl*t ¨ Zach said.
¨The word you are referring to me ass is one who has many partners, I may be dating a snake but don´t you fcking think for one second that im'a slt because unlike you I have one guy who I´m with ¨ caroline said.
Brad looked at his girlfriend, happy to see her not upset because of it. Her confidence against him was quite the show. "Any other guy in her life besides me wouldn't make it, that goes for you too princess." He told Zach mockingly.
Zach snarled he leaned forward playing with her hair
"Yeah, I don't think you want to do that pal, just ask Felix what I've threatened to do to him." He shot him a glare, tracing his neck with a finger and making a pop noise with his lips.
"what are you going to do about it?_ he asked trailing his finger down lower
"Break your neck." Brad said casually, relaxing back into his seat. Their teacher was about to enter the classroom, and totally catch Zach. So Brad didn't do a thing about it, kind of looking like he abandoned Caroline, but he was mostly just trying to stay out of trouble to let Zach get in trouble.
Zach backed away and went to his seat the classes started in Caroline could hear mudders in the back about snake slut about how she sleeping with every guy on the cobras
Brad glanced at Caroline, mouthing the words; "Breath, and ignore them." to her, just to reassure her. He wrote a quick note, tossing it on her desk.
Talk with me on the way to your next class.
She read the note and looked at him with the confused expression
"It's important," He whispered before turning back and looking at their teacher, to not get in trouble.
She nodded looking at the board
He wished to just hold her close, and take her away from this. But he couldn't, and knew what he might have to do. If it meant people stopped picking on her at least.
The bell ringing Caroline and Caroline packed up her stuff
Brad gathered his things, and walked up next to her. "Alright Caroline, we better start getting a move on."
She nodded and walked out
He took her arm, and held her around the waist. "I really don't want to talk about this with you," He started, his voice low. "But it's necessary." He sighed.
She sighed but nodded
"Look, this is getting out of hand, and it's my fault." He whispered to her, lowering his gaze.
¨Brad it´s not your fault¨she said, cupping his cheek.
"It is though babe, and I think you understand what I want to ask you. Enough at least." He frowned, feeling his heart shatter at his own words.
she crossed her arms over her chest and looked up at him.
"I think we need to take a break, until graduated that is. Or we can at least pretend. I just want people to stop hurting you." He whispered, trying not to catch any attention.
¨No, We don´t need to pretend it was bound to happen Right? So yeah lets break-up¨ she said taking his hoodie off and shoving it into his chest
"No- Caroline," He frowned, dropping the hooded sweatshirt. "I don't want to, but I want to protect you. I can keep you safe outside of school, and inside if it doesn't look like we're together." He attempted to reason with her.
¨We´re breaking up¨ she siad.
