Ted's POV

Ever experience that moment where you wanna turn back the time. This happened to me.

I walked into the school as I passed all the others chatting or hitting each other and walked into the school. It was very crowded outside and even inside. I just asked myself how many student does this school have. Plus its very big.

As I walked further inside some guy came to me. "You're the new kid right?" he asked.

"Um— yes." I stuttered. I was shy so it was hard for me to talk. He looked like one of the good guys of the school. Pretty popular. Taller than me. I was short so everyone saw me as a kid. Saying I'm too small* for my age. Which was very annoying.

One time, it was my birthday, mom asked how many years now. When I told he thirteen she said I look nine. NINE!!! I was so pissed of.

"Cool. So I'm Gumball. The school president."

"Wait, Gumball?" I let out a little giggle.

He smiled and said "I know. It doesn't suit me cause I'm so handsome."

"I'm not laughing because of that."

"You're laughing because my name is like the cartoon The Amazing World Of Gumball. I get that a lot. But it's not taken from the show."

"Okay." Speaking to this guy made me feel less nervous.

"So if you need anything don't hesitate to ask."

"Thanks." He left. Shit!!! I should've asked for help about my locker. But I found it easily. What a surprise.

I quickly set up my locker and took the books that I was gonna use for this period. While looking at the schedule a group of boys walked in. Everyone moved out of their way. There was one at the front, which I figure is the leader. Or Alfa.*

I hid myself behind my locker knowing that if they see me they might target me for their brutal pranks. Nerds are always in danger in high school.

After they passed I quickly ran to my first class. After a little while I felt myself in need to pee. Badly. I always hated going to the toilet in the middle of a lesson because I would miss some important info.

I asked for a pass and quickly ran to the toilet. It took me some minutes to find them. I ran in and relieved myself.

I washed my hands, in hurry, and dried them. Before getting out I almost bumped into someone. It was the Alfa of the bullies. I froze right under his nose since I'm so short. He was also stuck looking straight into my eyes. It feels as if he can see my soul shaking.

He put his hand on my chin and slowly lifted it up so that I was facing him. I closed my eyes, scared. All of a sudden I felt something soft meeting with my lips. He was kissing me. HE WAS KISSING ME?! Our tongues started moving together in a rhythmic tone. Then our lips departed.

I slowly opened my eyes, meeting with his. I couldn't take the suspension so I ran out of the toilet and ran back to the class.

What was that about?

During the lesson I kept on spacing out thinking about the kiss. Like, what did it mean? Why did he kiss me? Is he gay? If he is why kiss me out of all the people? A nerd on top of that.

All morning I kept on thinking about it until lunch.
