All Alone (Aston Merrygold)

Teachers

Charlotte's POV

We arrived at the maths block and waited outside for Miss Diver. "I wonder what exciting lesson she has planned for us." note the sarcasm!

"Yeah, bet we are doing fractions, let's see how long it takes for us to fall asleep in your lesson... oh look 1/2 a second." Lil said as her, Aston and I burst out laughing.

"What's so funny?" Said Miss Diver from behind Lil. Aston and I still chuckling, quietly.

"Urr, nothing Miss." Lil said nervously, she wanted to laugh, I could see it in her eyes. Aston and I were cracking up.

"Right then, detention... all 3 of you." she said as we waited until the rest of the class went in.

"Thanks Lil, first lesson back and we get a detention!" I exclaim, as Aston laughs.

"It's normal for me." he whispered as he trudged into the class room. Lil and I followed him as the class stared at us.

"Well, nice of you 3 to finally join us. You will have to sit at the back but I'm watching you 3." Miss Diver said, writing the date on the board. This school is full of crappy teachers apart from Mr Robinson, our music teacher. He is laid back and down to earth, I wish all teachers were like that but sadly... they aren't.

"Charlotte." Miss Diver said pointing to me.

"Hmm, what?" I asked, as I looked at Aston and Lil confused.

"What did I ask the class?"

"Why am I so boring and rubbish at teaching?" What's happened to me? I don't usually back chat or take the mick out of the teachers... well, not to their face. The class laughed and Aston mouthed 'Good one.'

"Excuse me? Get out of my classroom now!" She shouted as I took my bag and wandered out of the classroom, smiling at Aston and Lil as I went.

Sooner than later... Aston got sent out, and soon after Lil did too. "Hey, how did you two get sent out?" I chuckled.

"I threw a paper ball at the bin and missed and it hit Miss Diver on the head." Lil said through giggles. We both joined in.

"I got caught on my phone for the first time in 4 whole years and the first day of my last year!" Aston said, he sounded quite annoyed. He still laughed though.

"Teachers... why are they so moody?" I laughed as I sat on the grass and opened my bag. Lil and Aston sat down and we talked a little until Mr Smith took us to the Isolation Room for the rest of the hour.

"Psst. Look at this." Aston said passing me his phone. On it was a picture of Miss Diver and a caption saying 'Too good for you'. I burst out laughing and was about to pass Aston back his phone when he whispered "Phone number." What? Aston wants my phone number?! I put it in and named the contact 'Charlie 😘' as a joke and he laughed when I passed it back.

The bell went and Mr Smith said "Ok you may go but if I see you 3 here again you'll have a detention." we ran out the room and as soon as we were out of sight, we laughed and laughed and laughed.

"If I see you 3 here again you'll have a detention." said Aston, mocking Mr Smith, which was really funny.

"Oh it's only been one lesson and I'm dying of laughter." I said, getting my phone out to a text.

Unknown: Hey It's Ast. Thanks for givin me your number.

I laughed as I showed him the text and he chuckled. I named the contact 'Asty 😍' and put my phone in my inside blazer pocket. We had music now, a lesson that I love so much, Lil has business studies so I gave her a hug and walked with Ast to music.

"My favourite lesson now." I smiled up at Ast who put an arm around my shoulder, wait what?

"Yeah same. I want to be a singer when I leave, I don't mind if its solo or in a band." He smiled as we waited outside the class room. He took his arm away and I looked at him. He was smiling but looking to the door of the music room.

"Right class, in we go." said Mr Robinson, as his cheery self. We got settled down and I got a guitar from the cupboard and started humming. Then I started to sing random words to make a song. Little did I know Ast was standing behind me listening as I strummed the guitar.

"You said you loved me but then you left..." I sang randomly. I'm not a great singer or song writer but I try.

"Wow, that was great." I jumped in shock and turned around to see Ast smiling a cheeky smirk. I blushed slightly and he sat next to me.

"I wrote a song... Its not very good though." He said as he looked to the floor.

"What's it called?"

"Its called 'Close to You'." He smiled as he sung his song.

When he had finished he said "I'm hoping it will be on my first album... if I ever make one." I wanted to say that was beautiful and your voice is incredible but the words wouldn't form, I just stared into his chocolate eyes and sighed.

Ast performed his song 'Close to You' and I performed a song I wrote called 'You Said' and the lesson was over and it was now break. "You want to hang out with us?" I asked, hoping he would say yes.

"I got to meet up with JJ." Ast said, facing me and smiling. I looked down as I knew the name. "What's wrong, Charlie?"

"JJ doesn't like me. He bullies me and I don't want to lose you. We have know each other 11 years, through primary school and now high school and its the first time I've ever spoke to you and I don't want to lose you." I said, I felt tears forming but not rolling down my cheeks yet. I loved this boy and he was going to leave me for the boy that bullies me.

"I'll hang out with you and Lily at lunch, promise." He said, hugging me. Well, this was new and weird.

"Ok." I said as he left and waved and I whispered to myself "I love you Aston Merrygold."
