ONE

Cleo Lewis was a girl who appreciated simple things, she enjoyed coffee shops, car rides and foggy mornings. Cleo Lewis was innocent, she hardly ever swore, she never showed her features off, she never acted out. In fact, she was known for being the kindest person in the school, she was so kind, even the bullies gave up bullying her, because she had the air of sophistication, and she shrugged off anything mean, like water off a ducks back.

Cleo Lewis was gorgeous of course, she'd never dated, never kissed someone- she hadn't experienced love until Simon Minter.

Cleo Lewis joined the high school when she was in Year 10, she was lucky enough to make friends fast due to her nice nature, but she was totally gobsmacked on the first day when she witnessed a tall, blonde, lean boy have a fight with someone in the year above- and the more peculiar thing about the fight was that the skinnier, younger boy won. The year 11 coughed and spluttered as the year 10 punched him hard in the chest and stomach.

She soon found out that the name this particular boy carried was a name you had to use carefully. Simon Minter was notorious, you couldn't speak his name without someone hearing, and the person who heard would most likely tell Simon, or one of his friends.

Cleo had experienced that first hand. She had mentioned the name Simon Minter to her best friend in the library, little did she know a girl who was apparently crushing on Simon had overheard them, and she went and told a boy named Ethan, who had told Simon.

Simon of course was confused as to who this 'Cleo' girl was, but he soon recognised her face when Ethan pointed her out the following day in the canteen.

"That's her," Ethan said, smiling at his friend.

"We'll get her after school, yeah?" Josh, Simon's other friend says from his other side.

"Yeah," Simon nods, giving his friends a small smirk.

The following day Simon, Ethan and Josh followed the girl home, they made snide remarks to each other as they followed her down an alleyway.

"Oi, sket!" Simon called and Cleo turned, her expression changed immediately.

"Yeah you!" Simon called out, Ethan and Josh stay back while Simon followed her further along the alleyway.

She turned the corner and as she attempted to get down the stairs her arm was grabbed and her back slammed against the wall.

"Now, I don't like to hurt girls, especially ones like you, but if I hear that you've been saying shit about me again, I will have to show you how serious I am," Simon said and Cleo shook her head at him.

"I'm sorry! It won't happen again," Her voice was barely audible.

"Good," Simon sneered, his piercing blue eyes staring into her brown ones.

"Now get out of here," He yelled at her, and she picked up her fallen bag and hurried away, nearly tripping over multiple times in her rush.

Simon watched her walk away, breathing in deeply, his head was whirling. He'd never seen someone so pretty. Simon had had many a girlfriend throughout his high school life, many of them just wanted the popularity, and Simon just wanted the sex. But the feeling he got when he pinned Cleo to the wall, and she looked into his eyes like that. He had never felt that before.

Two years later and Cleo still steered clear of Simon Minter, she never spoke of him, if her friends brought him up she would swiftly change the subject. They were in year 12 now, they were doing A Levels at the Sixth Form of their school.

Cleo still had her two best friends- Sapphire and Claire. They were still as great as the day she met them and she was glad that she got to spend so much time with them still, she had no idea where she would be without them.

"Claire?" She hears behind her and she looks round to see Claire smiling towards Tobi.

Tobi was a close friend to the three girls, he was one of those boys who was actually nice, he cared about peoples feelings, and stayed away from Simon and his friends. Tobi was close friends with Vik, who also made the odd appearance as well as JJ, who was apparently the person who hated Simon the most for unknown reasons.

Just as Claire and Tobi stopped hugging people starting clearing the corridor, Simon, Ethan, Josh, Harry and Cal were walking along.

Simon walked alone at the front, Josh and Ethan walked directly behind and Harry and Cal followed them. It was like some kind of gang moving through a crowd of scared civilians.

Cleo looked away when Simon glanced at her. She couldn't bear to look at him, he had embarrassed her, he had scared her so much on that evening he followed her home- she never wanted that to happen again.

"So, when are you two going to start dating?" Saph asks Claire.

"Me and Tobi? Are you mad?" Claire laughs, looking at Sapphire with wide eyes.

Tobi had left almost immediately after the hug, so was no longer able to hear their conversation.

"What do you have next?" Saph asks Cleo and Claire.

"I have a history lesson," Cleo says and Claire nods.

"I do too," Claire says and Sapphire sighs deeply.

"Okay, well I have biology so, I'll see you guys later," She says before heading in the opposite direction to the two other girls.

Cleo was closest to Claire out of her two best friends, but that didn't mean she loved Sapphire less.

Cleo and Claire arrive to the history class and they sit down in their assigned seats, Claire was near the back and  Cleo was at the front.

The rest of the class soon pour into the room, taking their seats at there usual desks.

And last but not least in comes Simon Minter. Cleo had no idea how he managed to pass his GCSE's but apparently he did so he was taking a history A Level along with 3 others. Cleo made sure she wasn't sitting anywhere near him on the first day, but sadly he was sat rather closely and so he would glare at her during lessons- well, she thought he was glaring, but really he was gazing at her.

The teacher arrives and the lesson begins, allowing Cleo the time to indulge in her learning. She gives an answer when and where she can and she chats to the boy sitting next to her, he was called Nathan.

"Oi Nate, I wanna' speak to you after," Simon says, Nathan gives him a smile and says sure thing.

When the lesson is done and dusted Nathan waits outside as instructed. Simon follows after and charges at him, grabbing him by the throat and punching him hard in the stomach.

"Fucking talk to her again, and it'll be much worse," Simon says to Nathan, only loud enough for Nathan to hear.

"Yeah! Yeah, man! Sorry!" Nathan says between gasps.

Cleo exits the room and sees Simon punching Nathan.

"HEY ASSHOLE! MOVE AWAY FROM HIM!" Cleo shouts a burst of confidence running through her.

She storms towards him and she grabs his arm, pulling it back away from Nate.

"Stop!" She yells, her voice cracking.

Nathan manages to scramble up just as a teacher comes running round the corner.

"Headmasters office, immediately," Says Mr Fowler.

Cleo watches the two boys walk towards the teacher.

"You too Miss Lewis!" Says Mr Fowler.

Cleo glares at him, reluctantly following.

When she gets home she'd have another argument with her parents now- great.
