So, I had an idea for a story set in the mid 1950's. It will focus around our characters, with the two facing backlash and trouble from all sorts of people for dating.

Why? He's a white man, and she is an African-American woman. The two aren't friends as we start, mainly as he's new to the school and she has been bullied for years by her mostly white classmates.

They'd be friends first, evolving to romance later on as things go on. I kinda thought it'd be interesting if her mother and father had no issue with Robby, but his parents had issues with her.

"I've got you.."

Robert's gentle voice called out as he took a classmate by her arm, helping her out of her chair. She looked awful, sweating and shaking where she sat. Her arm was freezing, but her cheeks and forehead were burning up when he placed the back of his hand upon them.

"Come on hun..." He spoke gently and calmly, leading her out of the classroom and slowly down to the nurse's office to allow her to be checked up on. He could hear the others taking about them, but he didn't give a damn right now. Her health was his worries.

"Next time you throw up in class, please don't do it on my work." He teased her gently, taking her into the nurse's office as he handed her a bottle of water from his bag. Robert sat down on the chair, gazing over at her. "Why'd you come in today if you're sick?" He was genuinely rather worried, glancing at her before smoothing down his clothes.

Smartly dressed, he wore polished shoes, a crisp white shirt and red tie, paired with smart black slacks and a deep, navy blue sweater vest. His brunette hair was long and framed his face, but he kept it neatly combed and his large, rounded spectacles framed his gentle green eyes
