I felt my stomach quiver as Roxy refused to leave Jin's eyes. The only attention I had was the two blonde plastics; Sarah and Sally. Both girls gave me the most evil stare like I didn't belong in this school. Like I didn't belong in this world to be exact. Like I was something that was under them. One of them made sure to hide behind her friend as if I was about to hop over the table and sit on her.

Was I that ugly?

Was I that disgusting to look at?

"Answer me Jin! What's over?!" Roxy barked shoving his shoulder. But Jin refused to even acknowledge her, instead he peeked at me from the side before trying to give me a comforting smile and Roxy noticed it right away. She faced me so quick her blonde locks bounced instantly before falling flawlessly back down. She was gorgeous, but just not on the inside. I've never seen someone so evil like her. She had a history of bullying people; she never once gave me enough attention to try to bully me. She was like the rest...treated me like I was invisible.

And I was okay with that.

"The fuck you staring at!?" She spat out. I've never heard anything more angrier then her. I was in no doubt scared. I was used to people not giving me attention, but now that I have four people all staring at me, it made me a bit uncomfortable.

I tried to grab my book bag to leave but she grabbed it away from my grips and threw it on the floor. My heart dropped and I started shaking uncontrollably. Jin got up and Roxy pushed him down. "What are you sitting with...this...this.....hippo?" She said pointing her finger at me. Her friends giggled. Her voice was loud enough for most people to hear and before you know it, half of the cafeteria were staring at us. "Answer me Jin!"

But Jin refused to say anything and that's when Roxy turned to me. "Don't you ever talk to my boyfriend ever again! Who the hell do you think you are?! God you're so pathetic and ugly! I don't know how you stand to look at your fatass in the mirror everyday-

"Alright that's enough" Jin said

But Roxy continued "do everyone a favor and just drop dead!" She screeched; face turning red as if she was the one getting bullied here.

This wouldn't be the first time someone told me to kill myself. I heard it so many times that I'm just now used to it. The only thing that rubbed me the wrong way was Jin hearing all these harsh words. That was just the worst feeling I've ever experienced and honestly, I was debating on taking Roxy's advice.

I witnessed Jin finally rise up and started yelling a few things at her. I didn't understand what he was saying because I was too engulfed on the people around us. All of them. Just looking at me. Some snickering, some pointing. I know a lot of them agreed on what Roxy said.

It was too much.

I found myself struggle to get up and speed walk out of there.

My legs were paining but I didn't stop. I looked for the nearest girls bathroom and thanked god the halls were empty. I didn't want anyone seeing me breakdown.

Once I spotted the girls bathroom I reached for the handle to open it. "Quinn wait" I heard a voice call out.

I turned to see Jin coming around the corner. Oh no. This wasn't good. I was already embarrassed and he was the last person I wanted to see. So I dashed into the bathroom thinking he wouldn't come in. I found an empty stall and locked myself in. I didn't know what else to do but just...cry.

I get it. I'm ugly. I'm fat. But....I still have a good heart. Why couldn't people see that? Why are people so judgmental? Why do they hate me so much? I walked over to the toilet and witnessed my reflection. Rolls, rolls and more rolls everywhere. I was disgusting to look at. I just wish their was a quick solution.

I just wish I was skinny.

I bent down and just found myself digging inside my throat. Is this what fat girls do? Make themselves throw up until they are beautiful? Will that stop the torment? Will that make me less disgusting?

I started to gag and gave up. I hated throwing up, so there is no way I could force myself to do it. So I just sat on the dirty floor with my back against the wall debating on what I should do. I wanted to call my mom but my bookbag was not with me. I came to the conclusion to just try to skip the day. If that meant not getting my feelings hurt, I would do it.

"Quinn?"

I tensed up hearing Jin's voice. Did he really come into the girls bathroom?

"Come out Quinn..." he said as soon as he heard me sniff. I saw his feet at my stall and I just knew he wasn't going to leave without me. I tried to keep my voice steady and told him I was on the toilet doing business. His only response was "I'll wait"

I tried to tell him to leave but he kept saying no. Why was he acting so nice to me? I mean I wouldn't say I didn't deserve it but something just didn't feel right.

As soon as I saw Jin's leg bent down, I checked if I was sweating.

I was.

Jin's whole face was now under the stall and he whispered "let me in?"

I shook my head, so he crawled in. I would normally be a nervous wreck but what Roxy said made me just numb. So I allowed him to walk over to me.

We just stared at each other. Not saying anything. I was honestly afraid if he let out one thing about what Roxy said, I would burst out crying. But he didn't. He just gave me his hand. I didn't take it. And he whispered "we have next period together, come on" he said

Next period? The bell didn't even ring yet. I soon regretted my thought because the bell suddenly rang. Oh I hated when it rang. Meant I had to face new people, new looks, new judgement. I finally grabbed his warm hands and allowed him to pull me up. It was a bit of a struggle but when I was finally up, he gave me a grin. "Ready?"

No

I nodded and gave him a fake smile "do you normally walk in the girls bathroom?"

He shook his head and lead me out the stall. I smiled actually impressed at how bold he was. If a teacher found him, he would have gotten into a lot of trouble. "Here's your schedule" he said handing me the piece of paper. It didn't take long for me to find my bookbag leaning on the bathroom door. Jin walked over and slung it over his shoulder with ease. God..is this really happening right now? I must be dreaming.

We have the same class and he's carrying my stuff for me?? This was just so good too be true. But I didn't want to think it. I just went with the flow. I looked at my schedule and discovered we had English together. I loved English! And I was having it with Jin! Oh this was exciting. I was already feeling better and Roxy's words evaporated in my head.

I even forgot about Cindy.

"What do you have after English?" I asked shyly hoping he had Art. He looked back at me and smiled "we have all the same classes, I checked"

I felt like god just touched me. I have all classes with Jin. All of them! This was more then perfect. I just had a good feeling about this year.

Jin opened the door for me and as I stepped out I noticed a lot of people in the hall. My belly already bumped into a few girls. I usually was quick to apologize but Jin came to my defense "watch where you're going" he hissed at them. The girls looked like seniors and you know what they said? They actually apologized to me even though it was my fault. Someone actually apologized to me. I was a loss of words. I found Jin's arm around me and he started shoving people out the way so They wouldn't bump into me. Now I was big..really big; so he had to shove at-least ten people out the way.

And none of them did anything about it. It was like they were intimidated by him.

"You don't have to do this" I whispered

But he pretended he didn't hear me. His arm that was wrapped over my shoulder descended down and before you know it, he was holding my hand. Panicked I whipped my hand away. Not because of him but because I just sweat when I get nervous. I didn't want him to feel it. I couldn't see his facial expression but I knew he was hurt by that action.

I tried to change the subject "do you know where English class is?"

He nodded and attempted to grab my hand and this time I let him. It caught a few stares, so I looked down feeling discomfort. "Look, we are here" he said.

I finally looked up and noticed the class had a lot of people in there. But my eyes stopped at my brother and Sophia. Ew I have a class with them?? My brother failed English last year so I guess now he has to take it again this year. It wasn't hard to spot them. They were snuggled up in the back. Sophia was whispering in my brothers ear and he had a really hard smile on his face. I frowned. I was hoping my gym teacher; Mr Neil, would have suspended him or something. I mean he was having sex in the girls bathroom, and now he's just smiling with Sophia like nothing happened.

I hated him.

Still holding my hand, Jin led me to the back of the room. God, everyone was staring at us. I mean everyone! I just don't understand why people love to stare. Yes I'm fat! what's new?

I pushed a lot of desks with my belly on the way to the back. Some people whispered something under their breaths while others just tried to get out our way. They acted as if I touched them, they would melt or something.

As soon as we reached the back, Sophia and Jackson finally noticed us. I wish I could take a picture of their faces. They looked very shocked, but Jackson looked the most stunned. His jaw hung low while his eyes got wider and wider. I saw him scratch his eyes a couple of times. I don't think he believed what he saw.

Me with Jin.

That was a shock

Even to me. I couldn't believe it myself.

Without realizing it, I accidentally bumped into a desk a little too hard. It tumbled to the ground and the student that was at the desk almost fell himself. He was really buff with blonde hair and brown eyes. I think He was almost Jackson's size. I could tell he was one of those cocky guys that cracked jokes on everything. I was about to apologize but he furiously pulled his desk off the ground and whispered "I didn't know they allowed whales at this school"

My stomach turned and even though he whispered, A lot of kids heard him. Especially Jackson. But my own brother kept quiet while other students started snickering. I was more then mortified. But since I had a good heart, I was going to just take the insult because I was indeed really clumsy. So I didn't blame him for being angry.

Jin let my hand go and got in the kids face. Baffled I watched the scene. "Get up" Jin ordered

"What?" The guy whispered back

"I said get up. Quinn needs a place to sit" Jin said smiling at the boy. I don't know anyone that smiles when they are angry, but it was truly scary.

Nervous I whispered "I uh...it's okay..i can find another desk-

"I'm not getting up man" the guy said giving Jin a hard glare. Challenging him. And the two high schoolers had a stare down. I kept looking at the door hoping the English teacher would walk in and stop this potential fight. Jin finally blinked and crossed his arms. I thought maybe this battle was over. He proved me wrong when he grabbed the guys stuff off the desk and threw it on the ground "one last chance. Please don't make me embarrass you in front of everyone" Jin threatened

Now both men were capable of beating each other up. So I was really shocked when the guy got up and took the defeat. "Apologize for calling her a whale while you're at it. Since you wanna act like a heartless animal, I'll treat you like one" Jin sternly ordered before whispering some curse words.

The guy gave us a look before bending down to pick up his stuff. "Are your feelings hurt?" Jin teased with a big smile on his face. It made a couple people giggle. "I don't have feelings man" the guy responded back

"Just cause you don't have feelings, doesn't mean she doesn't" he said pointing at me. I sank in embarrassment as the whole class staring at us. "Now apologize-

"Or what?"

"Or I'll hop over this desk and kick your ass!" He yelled just as the teacher walked in. She was also heavy set herself. But I believe she was way bigger then me. Her outfit was basic just like mine; consisting of sweatpants and a really big shirt to cover up her rolls. She had thin blonde hair and blue eyes. She didn't get a chance to ask what was going on because Jin was already rolling up his sleeve ready to pounce. Everyone started instigating a fight and that's when the guy finally apologized.

He didn't want what Jin was about to lay on him. This was the first time I actually seen Jin angry. He always had a bored look on his face. But seeing him have so much passion to protect me, made me feel really good.

Smiling Jin looked around "I swear if anyone tries to pick on Quinn, I don't care if you're a male, female, dog, cat...you're getting cursed the FUCK OUT!"

The whole class was quiet as he pulled out my chair for me. I nervously sat down and tried not to look around.

I never had someone stand up for me. Other then Cindy of course. I looked over at my brother and found him staring at me. Disappointed I frowned at him. Even he didn't have the nerve to stand up for me. I will never forgive him.

If the school was caught on fire and he had a chance to save me or Sophia..he would definitely choose his girlfriend with no hesitation. Shit, he would choose anyone other then me! I wish he wasn't my brother.

Jin took a seat next to me as the teacher said "wow, I wish my husband protected me like that. You're a keeper" she smiled

As she said that Roxy walked in the class.

She heard everything.

And her eyes were blazing as she stared at me.
