Nomti sighed as the voice called behind him, "Hey big ears!" The jackal turned just in tine to see the fist heading for his gut and he easily sidestepped it.
"Is there something I can help you with?" he said with mock politeness.
"Yeah, I believe you owe me some money," it was a gorilla speaking.
"I beg to differ," Nomti retorted as he sidestepped another punch, but moved into the awaiting arms of a horse, who held him in place. Several other students had gathered and watched as the gorilla repeatedly punched Nomti in the gut.

"Hey!", Nikita yelled at the boys who were beating up Nomti. They dispersed and hurried down the hall to their classes. "Are you okay?", She asked the jackal.

He fell to the ground, curled up in a ball, a bit of blood trickling out the corner of his mouth and he just lay there silently for a moment before standing shakily to his paws, "Thank you," he groaned and wiped the blood from his fur, "I think I'll be alright," but his legs wobbled and he collapsed.

She dropped down onto her knees beside him, "Nomti. Nomti! You have to wake up.", she said gently, taking out her water bottle and splashing some water onto his face.

"Hey, watch the water... Damn gorilla can hit pretty hard... I might need help getting to the nurse though," he smiled weakly.

"Sorry.", she said and smiled, helping him up, and leading him to the nurse. "I'm Nikita by the way.", she said with another smile.

"Wait... Then how did you know my name?" He asked as he limped down the hallway with her, a very confused look on his face.

"Oh, I have heard those boys picking on you before. They have called you by your name a few times so that's how I found out.", she explained, walking into the nurses office. Nikita gave the nurse a look and she nodded, beginning to take care of Nomti.

"Well, thank you for intervening this time, Nikita. I owe you." he smiled up at her, some blood staining his teeth.

She laughed and walked out of the office and to class. She xplained what happened to her teacher and the teacher said that she was excused. She got to work on the current asignment and sighed as she thought about Nomti.

He had some very serious internal injuries to have been bleeding from the mouth and the nurse immediately sent him to the hospital and notified the principal of the ones who had done this.
Nomti didn't return to school for the next week.

Nikita talked the nurse and found out where Nomti was. She went and saw him everyday at the hospital to see how he was doing. "Hey.", she said softly, walking into his room.

"Hello," Nomti smiled warmly at her. Even his best friends had only come a few times and only his parents came to see him each day, "Thank you for what you're doing, it means a lot to me," he smiled and motioned for her to sit on the bed with him.

She took off her jacket and layed it on a cair and sat in the bed with him. "Your welcome.", she smiled at him. How could I not come see you. I'm involved now", she said. "Oh and don't worry. Those boys shouldn't bother you at school anymore", she said with smile. She rugged on one of his ears playfully.

Nomti leaned up and kissed her cheek, his ears twitching a bit as she tugged on them, "I hope you mean expelled, not just suspended."

She blushed lightly, but smiled. "Thanks to a bystander who wishes to remain unknown, they had to transfer schools", she said, her tail now swayed happily.

"Thank you," Nomti sat up and hugged her, "You're awesome, but what exactly is today's homework?"

"Ummm, for math we have a worksheet, and for reading you have to read the first three chapters in a book and do a summary on it.", she told him, handing him a worksheet and a book out of her backpack. "We could do it together if you want.", she said smiling.

"Sure," he smiled and looked at the book, Homers "The Odyssey," and the jackal groaned, "We had to read the Iliad last year... It was long and not worth it," he smirked a bit, "Nikita, what grade are you in now?"

"I'm a Sophmore.", she answered. "What grade are you in?", she asked. Laying her worksheet and book down on the table beside his bed, then laying down beside him.
