I was walking down the street on my way to the library, and when I turned the corner, I saw something I never want to see again. A young man was being beaten by three guys in black hoodies, the hoods up covering most of their faces. I opened my mouth to say something, but all that came out was a very loud scream. They turned around and saw me and sprinted down a back alley.
I ran over to the bloody and bruised man. He was breathing very heavily. I asked him, "Are you all right?"
He looked me in the eyes as if he could see into my soul, and I felt as if I've known him my whole life. "I think so. Thank you," he replied.
"I was just on my way to the library, and then I saw you here. Wait, what's your name?" I asked.
"Don't you remember me?" …show more content…
"No, I don't remember you" I answered. That question sort of disturbed me, but I acted as if it didn't matter, even though it did.
"Ow!" he said in pain.
"Oh, sorry," I apologized.
He said, "I'm all right. That sure isn't going to kill if that fight didn't kill me."
"How did that fight start, anyway?" I asked.
"Oh, it was just some boys from school. They've been tormenting me because I asked a beautiful girl to the dance last week, and she said no."

“She looked a lot like you actually," he explained, getting up and brushing himself off.
"Oh, really?" I asked. Wait, he asked her out last week. A guy asked me out last week!
"Yeah. Well, I better get going. Bye, and thanks," he said walking …show more content…
"Where do you go to school?" I asked.
"LCI. Why?" he replied.
"Did you ask out a girl named Sierra?" I asked.
"Yes, why are you asking?"
"Well, I'm Sierra," I said.
"Why did you say no to me?" he asked.
"Well, I guess I made a mistake when you asked me, because a guy I liked was standing down the hall. I'm sorry. And now that I know you, I will go with you," I answered.
"Really?" he asked.
"Yes, I will." I smiled.
Two weeks later at the dance, Alex and I were standing by the refreshment table. "I'm really glad you said yes," he said.
"I am too," I replied.
"Shall we dance?" he
