I poke my salad, already knowing I wasn't even going to take a single bite of it, I watch as the popular group walks in,

Luke Hemmings, Calum Hood, and the famous Ashton Irwin, along with their girlfriends, Aleisha, Maddie, and Bryana

Ashton catches my eye, then whispers something into Calum's ear, he tilts his head back in laughter, as does Luke, the popular girls are too busy talking about makeup products, I roll my eyes,

I look back down, my eyes darting over the salad,

One bite.

No.

Just one bite.

I picked up the plastic fork, stabbing a piece of lettuce, I lifted it up to my mouth, I began moving the fork closer to my mouth, I put the fork down, sighing,

I can't do it.

I put my forehead on the surface of the table, the cafeteria becoming louder and louder, a slamming sound erupts on my table, making me jump, I look up, seeing that a pile of books are on the table, "Hi." the red haired boy standing there with his tray of food,

My eyes widen as I notice everyone's staring at us, I look back down, biting my lip, "Hi." I quietly mumble, the boy sits down, swinging his legs over the seat,

"They make these burgers so small, I mean look at them." The crimson haired boy shoves the burger in my face, the smell of grease hits my nose, making me feel sick.

I gag, the boy furrows his eyebrows, "Are you okay?" he asks, I sigh, remembering the first time he asked me that question, I nod.

He glances down at his tray, scanning over the various foods he chose, he licks his lips, "Damnit I forgot my juicebox." the boy whines,

I let out a small chuckle, immediatley slapping a hand over my mouth, hoping he didn't hear it, He sighs, "I'm going to get my juice box, want anything?" he asks, his eyes meet mine, I shake my head.

"Whatever, I'm getting you something, watch my stuff." He turns on his heel, I watch as he walks by the popular table, Ashton glances as me then quickly grabs the boy's wrist, the crimson haired boy gives Ashton a weird look.

Ashton begins to talk to the boy I don't even know the name of, Ashton leans in to the red haired boys ear, whispering something into his ear, Ashton and the boy immediatley snap their heads towards me, I quickly look down, pulling my sleeves over my hands, a sick feeling began to start in the pit of my stomach.

I look down at the salad once again,I bit my lip, pushing the salad away, I look back up, seeing the boy walking back with a bottle of water and a box of apple juice.

He sits down, not saying a word, until he finally breaks the silence, "Uh, do you have std's?"

My jaw drops, "W-what?"

He looks at me confused, "That buff guy back there told me you have std's" I grip the sides of the table, feeling dried up gum under, I immediately remove my hand.

"Why would you believe him, and for your information, I don't." I shake my head in disbelief. "I can't believe him." I mutter.

"Why not?" He asks, handing me the water bottle, I grab it, twisting the cap off slowly, Is that what they say about me?

"Ashton and I had... uhh rough past, I guess." I purse my lips. He nods, taking a bite of his burger, making the ketchup squirt out on the table, I gag, sticking my tongue out.

"Was he your ex-boyfriend or something?" He asks, wiping his mouth.

"No, actual- Why am I even telling you this? I don't even know you, Why are you sitting with me?" I suddenly ask,
