Vermilion (A Joey x Corey Story) !DISCONTINUED!

After School Encounter

Corey's POV (after all classes)

I took my eyes away from the board and onto my notebook. I sighed. I haven't taken a single note. It was for this stupid math shit that I had no idea how to do. Instead, I was writing down lyrics for a up-coming song I was gonna work on. I scolded myself quietly and stood up. I walked out the door, receiving slight shoves from my peers. I shook it off and walked to my locker. I put in the combination and opened it, shoving my books recklessly inside my locker. 

After I finished, I shut my locker and turned around, only to be met with that weird group I saw in the halls. That same kid I called a faggot was with them too. I was honesty kind of harsh, I was just upset because I had to wake up that early plus find the some classes on the opposite side of the school. I thought I'd go apologize, but some of those guys were very intimidating. They were huge. Tall. Fucking giraffes. But the rest of them seemed weird. I believe the one kid up front danced in the halls. That was really weird. The short kid that I called a faggot looked at me, but quickly looked away. He didn't seem scared, but rather upset, though it was hard to tell through his hair.

I sighed and walked the opposite direction of them and down the stairs. I shifted through the big clumps of people invading the halls. I finally reached the main doors, but since I was walking with my head down, I accidentally bumped into someone. They knocked me down, but they didn't even finch. "Watch it, Freak." The man said. I looked down and he passed me. I sighed and picked up my belongings that I had dropped, but someone appeared in front of me. They bent down and helped me pick up my things. "Sorry about Shawn, he's a dickhead to people he doesn't know." He said. I looked up to see that kid I ran into earlier. "Uh, I believe we got off on the wrong foot." He said, giving me a warm smile. "Mm." Is all I replied back. It was an awkward silence for a couple moments. "Um..since you're new, I was wondering if you needed someone to help you around." He said. I didn't respond. He looked down. 

"Uh-..um.." He stuttered. "I-If you do, I'm always here." He finally said. I still didn't say anything. I sighed. I opened my mouth to talk but nothing came out. He looked up at me awaiting a response. "Listen. I-." I paused. I took a deep breath. "Im sorry for calling you that earlier. I was in a bad mood." I said. He smiled at me. "It's fine, you wouldn't be the first." He replied. I nodded. "Corey." I said. "Joey. Just in case you forgot." He laughed. I nodded. "Uh-um. You- do you know where the music room is?" I asked. He smiled and nodded. "Yea! Im heading there right know." Joey said. "Cmon!" He said as he bounced to some other steps. I hurried behind him and followed.

We reached what was supposed to be the music room and he opened the door for me. "Thanks.." I muttered. He nodded and stepped in. Turns out that the whole freak show is here. The one kid that I bumped into at the doors was here too. He ran up to them and immediately started a conversation. 

Shawn...I think his name was gave me an odd look. A "stay the fuck away" look. I looked down and went to the teacher. "Uh..'tis the music room?" I asked. "Indeed it is!" She said. "What instrument do you play?" She asked. "I uh- sin-vocals.." I stuttered. "Oh great! See that group over there?" She said pointing to the group with Joey. "They are starting a band and are looking for a singer, you'd be per-....what do you sing?" She asked. "Uh-...heavy metal." I said. "That's perfect! Shawn! Come over here!" She shouted. "Oh wait wait wait-" "This boy said he sings heavy metal, isn't that what you guys are looking for?" She asked. "Ma'am I'm serious hold-" "Yea, we are." He replied. "Well I think it'd be perfect!" She continued. As she talked he glared down at me. I had no idea what his problem was! I didn't mean to bump into him! "Mhm mhm.. yea we'll see.." He said. She smiled. 

"Oh, I never caught your name dear." She said to me. "Uh..Corey." I said. She smiled. "I think it's be great for you to sing with them." She said once again. 'Yea I heard you the first time lady..' I thought. "They are a very nice group of boys! A little..quirky, but very friendly!" She said. 'Friendly my ass..and you're right about quirky..' I thought. "Why don't you go and talk to them, Corey?" She asked. I sighed. "Uh-um..yea I-I could.." I said. "Great!" She said. She turned around and started messing with papers.
