Oli's POV

I woke up at half 6 as usual, dreading to spend another day in the hell known as Marshall High. I sighed getting up slowly.

I headed into the bathroom not bothering to look in the mirror knowing what I'll see if I look. I proceeded to do the normal routine of; showering, brushing my teeth and getting dressed.

I walked into what I called "Hell on earth" and as expected whispers stating that the "fag" was here began to echo around me. I ignored them and headed towards my locker, thankful that they hadn't done anything to it yet.

I walked into my first class, ignoring any stares that were directed at me. I sat at the back of the classroom as usual. When the teacher walked into the classroom it became silent. I noticed that there was another boy around my age had followed the teacher in. He introduced himself as Josh Franceschi, I was hypnotized by his angelic voice.

He's so fucking gorgeous! My mind practically screamed at me but I pushed the thought away as he began walking in my direction...Wait...Walking over to me? Who'd want to sit with a freak like me?

Josh's POV

I walked into the classroom and I listened as the classroom became silent almost immediately stares where pointed towards my direction.

I introduced myself and I noticed a boy who was a seemed to be a year older than me (A/N: I know that Oli is four years older in reality but for this fanfic there is only going to be a year difference!) sat at the back staring at me seemingly lost in thought. I noticed an empty seat next to him so I decided to walk towards the empty seat next to him. I saw a shocked expression come across his face as he must've noticed me walking towards him.

I sat beside him, I saw him give me a quick glance before looking away. I wonder what that was for. I shrugged it off and went to focus on what the teacher was saying.

Oli's POV

I bite my lip as he seats himself next to me, I was completely shocked that he chose to sit next to me of all people.

I heard his hypnotic voice whisper "Hey, whats your name?" I looked at him again not wanting to say but I still replied anyway "Umm...Oli..." A smile soon graced his features making seem all the more perfect, I looked away again choosing to divert my attention from the perfection beside me to the teacher.

I hurriedly walked out of my last class of the day, wanting to get back home as soon as possible. Surprisingly Josh ended up being in all of my classes today and guess who decided to sit next to each time? Yup! Me!

I didn't notice where I was going until I bumped into someone. "I-I'm sorry!" came out of my mouth almost immediately expecting to be met with a fist, instead I was met with the angelic voice of Josh, "It's fine, don't worry!" I let out a silent sigh of relief glad that I was going to be able to evade the usual group bullies, these being Max and his group of friends, decided that it would be absolutely hilarious to beat me up after school. Like, every day.

My relief was soon crushed when I heard the all to familiar voice call out "Josh!" As soon as Josh turned I ran, hoping that they wouldn't notice me.

But it was useless anyway as I heard "Ooh look! It's the fag!" A round of laughter following soon afterwards. I stopped running and sighed, allowing them to catch up to me. A fist collided with my face as soon as they caught up, I didn't fight back just letting them beat me up.

Josh's POV

I just stood and watched as they beat Oli up, I had no idea what to do but mind was yelling "Stop being such a whimp and stop them!" I debated what to do, I didn't realize just how long I had been debating for until I heard Max's voice call out to me "Come on Josh! Let's go!" I replied with a hasty "Alright!" I gazed at the beaten Oli one last time before running over to where Max and his friends where.
