I looked at the mirror and sighed. I saw an ugly fat girl with pale skin that made her look like a vampire. Her blue-grey eyes were dull and boring. Looking closely, you can see that her eyes hold so much pain an suffering. Her chocolate brown hair looked oily and messy. That girl was me.

I sighed once again before covering up the mirror with a curtain. I headed out of my room and locked the door.

I lived in the bad part of town. Where all the drunk and high gangsters are. I live by myself in an old run down apartment. It was the cheapest apartment I could find, so I had no other choice. I run down the stairs of the building and out the door. I rush to the nearest bus station, avoiding any living thing,and waited for the bus.

When the bus arrived I hopped on and sat down. I sighed and took out my wallet that held only $155. As you can probably tell, I'm poor as fuck. I'm trying to make income by working some jobs. I work as a bartender in a pub and I make coffee in a café. The two jobs don't pay much but it's enough to keep me alive.

I got down on the bus station that was near school and started walking the rest of the way. As I arrived at school, a Lamborghini zoomed past me. I roll my eyes as the rich asshole stepped out of his car. He was immediately swarmed by girls and was enjoying it too. I rolled my eyes once again and went inside.

I found Olivia and the girls by my locker and I put on my mask and smile as I head to them.

"Hey guys!! Heyyyy Oliviaaa!!! How was the date??" I ask and she blushes

Recently Olivia has been going out with this Robin dude. I haven't met him yet and frankly I don't like him. He's stealing my best friend and he's changing her. She's turning into Ariana. One Ariana is enough for me to handle, but two? No thank you.

"He may or may not have asked me to be his girlfriend" she says twirling a piece for her hair. I grin and hug her tight

"That's amazing!!! I'm so happy for you Olivia" I say and she smiles as she starts talking about her date

I'm not paying attention because, seriously?, this is so boring. I wanna go with Jess, she's WAAYY more entertaining. I put some of my stuff in the locker and notice three guys coming our way. I was shocked to see Cole as one of the guys. I put up a smirk and get my sass on. This will be interesting.

"What do you want Reynolds." I glare at him

"You think I wanna be anywhere near you, Brians? Robin is my best friend who just so happens to be dating your best friend." He explains and I look at Olivia shocked

She smiles sheepishly at me and I glare at her. How could she do this to me?! She's dating my enemy's best friend. I swear it's like I don't know her anymore.

"I told you about it!" She said and I cocked my head to the side in confusion.

"Really?"

She nods and I try to recall if she did. Hmmmm....maybe I wasn't listening. Yeah, I'm sure I wasn't listening.

"I guess I wasn't listening." I shrug and close my locker. Olivia introduces me to the boys.

The one with the brown hair and brown eyes was Robin. Blonde hair and Green eyes was Chase. Then obviously there was Cole.

"Okay. Well I better get class! I'd say it was lovely meeting you but that would be a lie." I said walking away from them

I felt someone follow me and suddenly Cole was right in front of me. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair.

"Yes?"

"That was rude Brians." He said

"So?"

"Apologize."

I rolled my eyes at him. I was not in the mood to put up with him right now. But me being the stubborn little shit I am, refuse to apologize.

"No." I say sternly

"Why must you always be difficult? It's just one word." He huffs and I cross my arms

"Cause I don't want to." I say

"You also have to apologize for what happened yesterday." He says and I scoff

"You deserve it. Next time don't make out on my locker." I say and try to walk past him. He blocks my way and I give a frustrated groan

"Move Reynolds." I glare at him

"Apologize."

"Why would I apologize to an ass like you?!" I raise my voice

"You're one to talk Brians!!! You're the one shoved me!!" He raises his voice too. His fists are clenched and I know that he's getting angry.

"Well you're the one who decided to make out on my locker!!"

"Just apologize Brians!"

"No. You never apologized, so I won't either."

"Why would I have to apologize?!"

"Oh I don't know, for ruining my high school life?!"

"I didn't do shit!!"

"Fine! I'm sorry."

"There-"

"Not."

"Why you little bitch!!!!"

It was the most intense argument we have ever had. We were both standing in the now empty hallway, yelling profanities at each other. We were both angry and stressed. Our argument was out of topic, but we were still releasing all our anger towards each other. I guess we were both in a bad mood today, that's why we're acting like this.

"YOU THINK YOU'RE ALL THAT?! YOU-" he stops mid sentence. I'm still enraged but it slowly turns into confusion as I see him run away. Cole never runs away, what's going on?

I ran after him but it wasn't a far run as I saw him collapsed on the floor. His back pressed up against the lockers. He was holding his chest and having trouble breathing. He was wheezing real bad and he was shaking as he scrambled to get something from his locker.

I shook my head to snap out of my shocked state and made him sit down. He started stuttering as if trying to tell me something

"I hale- in-hale-haleher-"

Inhaler.

I immediately grabbed his inhaler and gave it to him. He took it and I watched him, feeling nothing but worry.

I stayed by him even if he was the asshole who ruined my life, even if he was the person I despised the most. I stayed by him, making sure he was alright, even if he was my enemy.

A janitor came up to us, to scold us for not being in class...

"We're currently going through an important matter right now, so I suggest you leave." I say and give him the scariest death glare I could do. My hands were clenched and he could see that.

"I-I won't tell a-a-anyone" he stutters and scurries away.

I sat back down and waited till Cole got better. Silence surrounded us. I was still in shock and he was recovering. I was too busy in my own thoughts and only snapped out of it when I felt a sudden weight on my shoulder. Cole had closed his eyes and put his head on my shoulder. He looked tired and drained.

"Thanks." He mumbled

"What the hell just happened" Is my reply

"Asthma."

Ohhhhh....wait what?!

"What?!"

He removed his head from my shoulder and looked at me confused.

"You have asthma and you're on the soccer team!!! That's not good for you!!!" I say and he sighs

"I know. But as long as I don't push myself too hard, it won't be that bad." He explains and I huff in frustration

"You idiot. You're damaging your health. You're lucky I chased after you." I say

"I guess this is what happens when you forget to do you nebulizer and then get into a really heated argument" he shrugs

"I knew you were stupid but damn that's beyond stupid. You should be taking care of yourself!! You might die!! Goddamit Reynolds." I say

"Don't tell anyone." He says sternly as he glares at me

"Yeah. Yeah. Whatever." I say and get up, dusting myself off. I glare and hit him in the back of his head.

"Make sure to do your nebulizer later and keep that inhaler with you everywhere you go." I say and walk away mumbling one last 'idiot'

As the day goes by, I couldn't help but think about Cole. If he did what I said or not. Fuck him. Why do I even care? He's an asshole who ruined my life.

But...he's an asshole who has a mask.

And after today I'm somewhat determined to see what's behind that mask.

Who the hell are you, Cole Reynolds.
