Nugget.

"That movie was hilarious." Chloe couldn't stop laughing since the movie ended.

"Yeah. Thanks for bringing me out tonight."

"What are best friends for?" She side hugs me and her phone pings.

She takes it from her bag and checks it.

"My brother's here."

"He is?" I look around.

"Yeah. He's my ride home and our driver to late dinner." She winks at me.

"Why-" My phone rings and I see my aunt's name pop up. "My aunt's calling, I'll be right back."

I leave her and walk towards the side of the Cinema.

"Am I supposed to tell you that you should've been home by now?" She asks as soon as I answer the call.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know we'd stay out this long." I kept on walking deeper into the alley until I walked into an open parking lot which was empty.

"So just because I gave you permission to go out with Chloe, you decided to misuse it?"

More like was threatened to.

"I'm sorry." I say again.

"If I don't see you in this house in the next thirty minutes, you know what would happen." She says and hangs up immediately.

Great.

I sigh and turn to walk back when I see three guys walking towards me.

"Hi sweetie." I take a step back. The guy in the middle who has red hair speaks up.

I take a step back.

"Come here." He extends his hand. "Let's go have fun." I shake my head.

"Don't get me angry darling." His black eyes are looking straight into me and I shiver.

In fear.

"Just come here already." The second guy with blond hair speaks up.

I shake my head again.

"What a pity." The red hair sighs and turns to the guy with blue hair. "Grab her."

I make a run for it in the other days direction, but I don't make it far when I'm pulled back.

"And where do you think you're going?" The blue haired drags me by my arm back to the remaining guys.

"You've been a bad girl." Red head grabs me by my jaw. "I think I'd have to teach you a lesson."

With all the strength I have in me, I step on his right foot and he yelps.

"You brat!" He looks at me with anger and hits me so hard, I fall down.

"HEY!" Another voice shouts and I see the guy from school walking towards us.

Great.

He's dressed in a black top, black sweatpants and black sneakers.

"What do you want?" Redhead turns to him.

"Why'd you hit her?" Grey eyes asks.

"What's it to you?" Redhead asks back ans grey eyes chuckles.

"You know what I really hate?" He asks.

"What if I may ask?" Redhead asks in sarcasm.

"Guys hitting girls." He moves a little to look at me. "Hey are you-" He stops when he sees it's me, frowns, clenches his hands into fists and turns to redhead with a grave look on his face.

"Scratch that " He begins. " I hate anyone hitting her." He says dangerously.

"Why? She your girlfriend?" Redhead walks to me and pulls me up by my hair. "She was being a bad bitch so I had to deal with her."

"God I hate shits like you." Grey eyes says. "Leave her alone."

"I don't wanna." He pulls my hair harder and I yelp.

"You see, in this kind of situations, I usually have two options. It's either you apologise and walk away, or you do it the hard way. But since you've already touched her, I can't just let you apologise like that. It'd hurt my pride. So I'm going to be fair and let you go through the hard way." He pockets and the guys laugh.

"Oh my, I'm so scared." Redhead mocks.

"You should be." Grey eyes says.

"Get him."

Bluehead first lunges forward. But as soon as he brings his hand to punch grey eyes, he dodges it, grabs his outstretched arm, and flips him over with ease. Bluehead hits his back on the ground.

Hard.

Blondhead also lunges forward but grey eyes punches his jaw. He staggers a little but quickly gains his posture and tries to hit him again.

Grey eyes dodges, then bends and kicks his left foot. He also falls to the ground.

"Damn it." Redhead pushes me to the ground and runs towards grey eyes.

He tries to punch him, but he blocks it. Grabs his face and punches him hard.

Redhead stumbles to the ground.

"You little shit!" Redhead spits and stands up again.

He runs to him again and when he tried to punch him, grey eyes grabs his arm, twists it (I swear I heard a bone break), punches him once, twice, before kicking his head which makes him fall.

"I seriously thought you guys were tougher than this." He grabs redhead by his hair and puts him in a kneeling position.

"Apologise."

"I'm sorry." Redhead says to him.

"Not to me idiot." He smacks his head. "To the pretty lady over there." He nods to me.

Redhead turns to me.

"I'm sorry."

"And?"

"I was such a dickhead."

"Great. Now fuck off." Grey eyes pushes his head away, they all stand up and scurry away.

Grey eyes turns to me and walks towards me.

"Hey nugget. You okay?" He bends to my level.

"Yeah, fine."

"You sure? He did hit you pretty hard." He brings his hand up and I flinch.

"Sorry." I mutter.

"It's fine." He mutters back.

"I thought I told you not to butt in my business?"

"I didn't know it was you. And when I did, I felt like killing them." He mutters the lasts part.

He looks straight into my eyes and I couldn't look away.

It felt like he was drawing me towards him. His eyes were telling me something that I couldn't seem to decipher. I was mesmerized.

"I should go." I clear my throat. I stand up quickly but a pain in my left ankle hits me.

"Ow." I fall again.

"You want me to take you home?" I shake my head.

"It's fine. I must have twisted my ankle when he pushed me."

"Walk you home then?"

"Thank you, but I'm fine."

I stand up slowly this time as I don't put too much pressure on my left foot.

"You sure you don't want me to take you home?" He asks again.

"I'm fine." I say as I limp away.

I bring out my phone and sent a quick text to Chloe.

'Sorry got to go. Aunt Mary needs me at home. Will see you tomorrow.'

I sigh as my long limpy journey home starts.
