He saw him again; he was wearing his black emo-looking hoodie and his jeans that were starting to fade and tear. But it was his face that captured Liam the most; bruised, bloody and miserable; completely and utterly miserable.

Liam often wondered why, of all the people he was surrounded by at school, he noticed Zayn Malik the most.

Ever since Gemma disappeared to God-knows-where doing God-knows-what, he'd heard plenty about the youngest Malik. Apparently he pissed off one too many of his teammates and others he knew from his social circle because they were constantly roughing up the younger boy. It was a common sight to see Zayn being jumped by three or four different guys and even more common to see him in the nurse's office.

He wondered when it started to bother him. Malik's well-being hadn't really been important to him until Gemma disappeared and that's when he started to notice how much the kid got picked on.

He had asked Harry one day when they were eating lunch and not surrounded by their testosterone driven team members why this was so.

"Because he turned Sarah down when she asked him out and when she asked why, he told her he wasn't interested in girls, so now they treat him like he's got the plague," Harry had said with sympathy. Whatever he thought Harry would tell him, Liam hadn't expected that. The kid had balls coming out in a little community that was predominately Catholic and participated in the Old Catholic rituals from years past, not to mention that everyone knew everyone's business quicker than the speed of light. It was after his talk with Harry that he noticed that Malik didn't sit with anyone at lunch and he barely talked to anyone at school, unless he was spitting insults back at them.

"It's stupid. He doesn't deserve that, no one does," Harry said with compassion. Of course Harry would feel bad. Harry felt bad for everyone, it was his job to be the one who felt something for those less fortunate than him, thought he wasn't very fortunate himself considering his father died, his mother abandoned him and now Gemma disappeared.

In all honesty, Liam thought it best to leave it alone; there was nothing he could do to make his team back off. If they wanted to beat on Malik, that was between him and them. Though it often wasn't a fair fight and Zayn often left more bruised and bloodied than when he came to school. If Liam were him, he would've stopped going; then again, if he were gay, he wouldn't have come out in the first place. He sighed as he glanced at the clock for the third time in ten minutes; where the hell was Gemma? He knew Harry's sister was one to skip school but skipping town wasn't like her at all. He scowled; he needed a distraction and she was gone, of all times for her to disappear, it was when he needed her the most.

"So Mr. Payne, what is the domain of the function?"

Liam blinked as he stared at Mr. Fritz, also known as Coach Fritz of the Salem Ravens. "Uh…"

"I didn't think so. Pay more attention, yeah?" he smiled and Liam nodded. Of all the teachers he would have as a coach, Fritz was top candidate. The man didn't have the capacity to be cruel which worked in favor on the field as well as off. Liam's father, on the other hand, thought differently.
