2. Some new faces

I arrived to my homeroom, many stares welcomed me, including a few whistles from the back of the class. A guy walked up to me with a huge smile:

"Hi, my name is Jake." he said

"I'm Emma." I smiled back at him

"I'm 100% sure you're new so if you need any help around the school, finding things or generally anything. Just call me and I'll be right there."

"Thanks a lot, but I'm sure I'll be able to find my way around" I replied

He smiled back at me and took a seat, second row in the class. I did the same, though many seats were already taken so I was third row, next to the window.

The teacher arrived, he introduced himself as Mr. Dell, he said that he was also a math teacher. He seemed quite cool, so I was happy to know that he was ours for the year.

He explained about the school clubs and that there was going to be a chance to see the club's and meet the people in charge.

He mentioned a football club wich sparked my interest. I was in the my old schools football team, we were a pretty good team to. Looking out for each other, like a mini family. And honestly, I was pretty much a pro.

After that hour of going through all the school rules and club's, I was headed to my next class. It was English, I enjoyed that subject a lot. So I wasn't that mad for having it for second hour. On Mondays.

I was on my way, when I saw a group of boys circled around a kid on the floor. He was surrounded by books. He was being held against his locker, I presume. Luckily they let go. And started walking of. I then rushed over through the large crowd to see how he was doing. I gave him a hand up and he accepted. Once he was on his feet, he thanked me, but proceeded to look at the floor. I asked:

"Are you hurt?"

"just my ego." he said and he laughed, I did the same. "My name is Elliott by the way."

"Nice to meet you Elliott, my name is Emma." I responded

We smiled at each other but fear appeared in Elliott's eyes. I didn't have the time to turn around that someone had pinned me, by the shoulders against the lockers. He didn't shove me hard, just hard enough to hurt a little. A smile appeared on his face, not the good kind:

"Now what do we have here? A little girl trying to help my prey?"

"What do you want?" I asked confidently

His smile grew bigger by the question

"Just to play a little game." he replied, while tightening his grasp

"What if I'm not interested in your game?"

"Then I'll force you to play" he said while getting his face closer to mine, and moving one hand from my shoulder to my waist.

I knew what was coming if I didn't act so I kneed him in the no-no zone. A little cry escaped his lips. He loosened his grip, I took the opportunity to escape.

"Let's get out of here, Elliott!" I told him and grabbed him by the arm. A path leading out of the circle appeared and that's where we went through. Several looks of shock appeared.
