You and Spencer are best friends, despite being opposites. He is unpopular, awkward, and nerdy—while you are popular, social, and confident.

The people at your school and in your friend group judge this friendship, saying it’s ridiculous you talk to him. Well, they used too, until you went off on them—telling the boys they’re just jealous because he has a better chance with you than they do.

Now, you are walking through the halls on the way to third period. You hear an absolute riot in the hallway, you go over to see what’s going on. Pushing through the people, you find Spencer pinned under another guy. Spencer is out cold, his face making it obvious that he’s been beaten. The guy is still hitting him repeatedly, even without Spencer being able to react.
