As you rushed into the crowded halls of the school, all eyes turned to you. "Sorry, excuse me. Sorry," were the only words coming out of your mouth as you rushed to your boyfriend.On your way, you bumped into a broad chest, only to hurry off while mumbling multiple apologies. "Where have you been? You're an hour late," He said, his voice filled with anger. "I'm sorry Reggie, my car broke down and I couldn't just leave it." "Well, don't be late again."

After the first year of the southside kids being at the school, things started to calm down in the halls. Fewer fights and less detention. "Dude, just tell her how you feel," Fangs said as he sat next to his best friend. The two had a perfect view of you, sitting adjacent to your boyfriend and his friend group. "I can't do that, she has a boyfriend." After Sweet Pea returned his gaze over to you, your eyes locked with his.

*That thing you said, "stay beautiful"

Even though that I know that it's second hand

I'd have you say it in the same way

That thing you said, "stay beautiful"

Even though that I know that it's second hand

I'd have you say it in the same way

I walked you back so you didn't feel alone

I know that you're stuck with him, I know

You've got his name on your arm, his words on your knuckles

So I walked you back so you didn't feel alone*

It was dark out, the cold wind blowing through your hair. Heavy boots fell in step next to you. Before you could look up, you heard your boyfriend's voice. "Get away from her serpent scum!" The boy several feet away shouted. The heavy boots came to a halt and so did you. Reggie walked up to you and grabbed your arm. As he dragged you to his front door, you turned your head and looked at Sweet Pea. "Stay beautiful," came out of your mouth as you smiled at him, Reggie pulling you along with him as he ignored what you said.
