The boy in the back of the class

Chapter 5

Ashton's pov:
I had just woken up and I couldn't shake the weird feeling I had about Emily, no one has ever made an effort with me like she has. I'm also confused on how she found my house, yes we get off at the same bus stop and yes we live around the corner from each other, but I didn't think she'd noticed me. I tried my best to shake the thought and got ready for school, wearing my usual black skinny jeans with a hole in the knee, a Nirvana tee shirt, black converses and a black bandana.

At school all I could think about was how I was going to tell Emily what I wanted to tell her...... I want to tell hey that the way I act around her isn't because I don't like her, in fact I really like her. My thoughts were interrupted when I saw Stan and Mike coming my way. They knocked the books I was carrying out of my hands and pinned me up against the lockers, I tried to wriggle out of their grip, but I'm too weak.
"Hey, what's the matter, Ashton, you know it's rude to run away from people when they're trying to talk to you right?" Stan asked with a smirk on his face.
"Look, would you just leave me alone?" I asked, desperation evident in my voice.
"Like I said, we want to talk, so your going to shut up and listen you got that?" Stan asked, mike was the only one holding me down now, Stan was pacing I front of us, he also didn't give me a chance to answer his question because he started talking again. "You know that little girlfr-" he began.
"She's not my girlfriend," I cut him off, it kind of hurt saying those words, because deep down, like deep, deep down, I think I want her to be.
"Ohh, feisty aren't we?" Mike asked whilst letting out a chuckle.
"Don't interrupt me, you'll regret it next time, now Mike, where was I?" Stan asked
"That little girlfriend of yours."
"Right, well, I have some information you would probably like to hear about her," he started. "She's using you," he said with a smug smile.
"How could she be using me?" I yelled. "We're not even going out." I said a bit quieter. Mike grabbed my collar and pulled me forwards.
"We all know that you like her, it's easy to tell."
"N-no, I don't!" I stuttered.
"Yes you do," Stan said.
"We see the way you look at her.... And man your sad! As if shed ever like you, your just a stupid nerd, I saw Emily today, she was making out with that guy... What's his name?" Mike asked Stan.
"Harry." Stan replied with a smirk.
"Emily's not like that," I whisper.
"Oh but she is man and she'd never like a person like you, your nothing," said Stan whilst slamming me against the locker one last time as they both walked off. I was left sitting on the ground just wondering what I ever did to Emily to make her do this to me. I picked up all my stuff and quickly made my way back to my house, I didn't want to risk anyone seeing me cry.
