Worry is interest paid on trouble before it comes due. - William Ralph

Aryans POV:

When Enzo Morales stood up for us, it was as if something changed. I could not place what exactly transformed but I knew that it had to do something with Jasmeet and Enzo. I did not know back then that he would become important to us and more especially to my best friend. Enzo and I never interacted with each other and I usually tried to avoid him at all costs as it his notorious friend Shawn was always at his side. I had enough of being bullied by him so therefore I tried not to cross paths with them ever.

It all started when Jassy was not able to defend me like usual; I could not say why this has happened. She was a shy person but once you riled her up enough, she would snap and tell you to back off. Something was off with her; I knew her well enough that a thing bothered her.

Jassy and I drove as everyday in her car to school after she picked me up and surprisingly no one of the famous soccer squad surrounded us. This had become a routine for the guys to bully us also in the morning. I nearly believed that we would be able to enter the school without further disturbances. However, the luck was not on our side. The car of a certain brown haired girl pulled suddenly up and blocked our way. I knew who that was. I really hated her. She was always a pain in the butt; she thought the world would fall to her knees. Since she had a status similar to royalty, everyone treated her as if she was glass and no one dared to raise their voice at her.

One time, I recalled, a girl had humiliated her by pouring a cup of iced coffee over her. I still have the piercing scream in my ears; it did not take very long for her to get her revenge. She started by pulling harmless pranks but one day she went too far. This girl always had good grades on all her assignments and Nathalie, in order to take her revenge; switched the test of a bad student with hers. Moreover, she sabotaged a paper of hers by plagiarizing the whole assignment, something the school considered to be a reason to be expelled.
The teacher called her to the front and showed the assignment to her. As soon as this girl saw what she got; she started to cry and everyone started to laugh. The head of her turned so red and she tried to explain everything to the teachers but of course, they would not believe her. This happened not in one subject, this happened in all of her classes. Her embarrassment was so big that she dropped out of the school and moved very far away. From that day on it was evident that one should not treat Nathalie with disrespect.

Nathalie started to make fun of us and I expected my friend to tell her to back off but when I looked at Jassy, she wsa somehow tongue-tied. The popular girl started to laugh: "Oh, looks like Nerdy cannot talk anymore!" Soon everyone, who assembled around us, began to snicker, and pointed with their fingers at me. I felt Jasmeet tremble beside me and I wanted to shout something; however; a voice screamed suddenly startling all of us:
"Stop laughing. The show is over!" I looked up and the owner of the voice surprised us all. I heard my fellow classmates gasping and inhaling sharply. The one, who just stood up for us, was no one less than Enzo Morales. Enzo Morales was best friends with Shawn Bradley and therefore no one I would ever expected to defend us in front of the whole school. I found my voice first, when everyone left, including a fuming Nathalie: "Thank you, for standing up for us!" I knew that Nathalie would continue to make our lives a living hell when we were alone. The boy replied in a casual tone: "No problem; I really do not like how our classmates just stand and do nothing. I just had to come up and defend you!"
I nodded at him and then finally, Jassy was able to thank him: "Enzo, really thank you so much. I do not know why I was not able to answer something. It was just like my tongue was tied!" I noticed that she stared at him longer than necessary. This was strange, in my opinion. I decided to inquire her later about her behaviour. "No problem. I know my best friend makes your life living hell. However, I do not have any interest in doing this. I think that it is enough that he does this. You are a nice girl. It is no crime in being a good student!" he answered her and left abruptly. Jassy and I exchanged then confused glances. Did that really happen? Did the best friend of my bully just protected us? I also noticed that Jassy looked longer than necessary at his retreating figure.

Jassy and I went to our classes and I noticed how silent and quiet she was. She would normally talk so much. It did not suit her to be so soundless; she was a lively and very talk-active girl. The first two lectures passed like this. However, I knew my sister-like friend very well and knew what was bothered her.
I told her in a gentle voice: "Jassy, you are so absent-minded today!" I also added then: "Jassy, please do not over-interpret this kind act!" She looked up surprised and then replied me: ""Yes, I know!" I instinctively hugged her and she buried her face in my chest. She sighed: "Aryan, why did he do this? I can't have feelings for this boy!" I took her hands and pulled her towards the classroom. The following periods nothing exciting happened; just the usual boring lectures of the teachers who warned us about the immense workload of this semester. This was the final year and so therefore many of our instructors were so tensed and stressed out.
However, in the third period, we would see Shawn and Enzo again and I was positive that something exciting or unsual would happen. I smiled at my best friend who returned the gesture.
We were almost at the classroom, when suddenly the whole floor became silent. I am sure; you could hear a needle drop. This was not very usual, because normally our fellow classmates could not shut up. I turned around and saw the source for the behaviour of our peers. Shawn and Enzo strolled down the floor casually, making many girls swoon.

I scoffed at this; it was not clear for me what was special with these two boys, and observed that the bully of Jassy watched us, noticing her different appearance, and it seemed that his look lingered longer than necessary. I heard the scowl of the girl beside me and noticed that she gave Enzo a short nod. This gesture prompted Enzo to become red and to my utter horror, Jasmeet blushed visibly. I was surprised as well appalled. If anything happened between these two, it would cause much trouble. I was positive of this; Shawn hated her and Enzo was his best friend. Sometimes I thought that girls were easy to get; you just had to defend them or treat them specially and they would come willingly. However, I did not know back then, that everything we knew would change and something completely unfamiliar would happen.
