Changing Bobby novel Chapter 5

"Is it okay if I touch you bobby?".

He looked in my eyes and then looked down then nod slowly.

I slowly held his shoulders and pulled him gently to my chest and hug him. He tensed up for some seconds then relax and hug me back. We stayed like that for about 5 minutes before he pulled away and held his head down.

"Bobby?".

He look up.

"Do you want to be my friend?".

He gave me a soft small smile before he nod.

I heard the bell rang for lunch. I look in Bobby's eyes.

"Bobby we're going out now".

"No". fear swam around in his eyes.

"I won't let anyone hurt you, I promise we're just going out".

He slightly nod. I walked to the door and opened it. Bobby held on my arm and walked behind me. I like the way he held on to my arm, it felt like I was protecting him. We walked down the hall until I saw my best friend West. He looked at me and smiled.

"Hey bro where have you been?"he said coming up to us.

Bobby grip my arm tighter and hid behind me more, he was trembling. I put my free hand out to stop my friend from coming any closer. He stop instantly and gave me a confuse look.

"Um who is that?"he point at Bobby.

"A friend".

I took both of Bobby's hand off me and turn to him. He had water in his eyes and was trying hard to hold them back. He held his breath and I put my hand on his shoulder and he exhaled slowly.

"Bobby, this is my best friend West". I told him.

"West this is Bobby, he's new".

West smiled. I know what he was going to do next, he greets everybody the same was with a punch in the shoulder. He move to Bobby.

"Hey man, nice to-".

"NO!!". Bobby shouted and hid behind me again like I was his protector but I knew I was.

"Don't touch him". I glared at west.

"Jeez what's with you two".

"Nothing". I sighed.

"Cafeteria?". West ask. I turn to Bobby.

"N-not hungry". he said. I turn back to west and shook my head.

"Okay see you in class then". He walked away.

I walked with Bobby outside where no one was and sat on a bench. He looked around and took in the wonderful surrounding. He looked calm and he hand a small smile on his face. Let him relax for a while before I said anything to him.

"So Bobby, what do you like to do?"I ask him.

"Watch tv. "he replied.

"Anything else?".

"Dude?". West said. I turn to him.

"Oh sorry, you were saying?". He continued.

The class went by fast with Bobby sitting beside me scared to even look up. Soon school was over and I walked him to his car.

"I'll see you at four".

"O-okay". he said not looking at me.

I open the car door for him and he got in and lock it immediately. I backed away from the car and he drove out of school, i walk to my car and saw West waiting for me.

"Hey dude, you staying for practice?"he ask.

"No I have something to do".

"Well okay, call you later then. "

"Okay". he walked away and I got in my car and drove out of school.

I went inside my house and went upstairs to shower . After I was finish I went downstairs and saw my mom and grandma.

"Hey guys I'm going out".

"Ok baby be good". my mom said.

"Bye sweet heart".

I left the house and drove down the street. I arrives at Bobby's house and got out of the car. I went to the door and rang the door bell.
