Ashton's POV
After Avery leaves I just want to hit Josh and make him pay for everything he's just said but I can't. My reputation means a lot to me and the people around me. I wish I could hold Avery in my arms and keep her safe from the bad. But I can't, I love Avery.. I'm in love with Avery.. But my reputation is more important.
So instead of doing what I want I fake a smile and say, "I don't know dude." After Josh leaves I sigh and continue my way to the school. Once I get into class Sarah comes over and sits on my lap. I fake another smile and wrap my arms around her. On the inside I'm gagging. When Avery walks in the door everybody gets quiet before everyone starts whispering things about her. "Ew she's so ugly" "She's so fat" "She should go kill herself" the list can go on and on. I cringe on the inside as I see her start to cry. I wish I could do something but I can't. My reputation.
