"So your his sister?"Luke asked,

"Yea," I said.

"Oh,"

"Yea,"

"Well I'm going to go to the bathroom," Luke said. He got up and left me and Michael at the table. I knew Luke wasn't coming back because he took his backpack with him. I knew he wasn't really going to the bathroom , too.

"Why do you always do this to me Michael?" I growled feeling my blood boil with anger.

"Because you don't deserve friends Elle," he said. "You don't help the human race, you pollute the earth, and honestly I hate you. You deserve to be alone."

I was used to him telling me this. He used to tell me this on a daily basis. His friend Calum never laughs or goes along with it, but he never says anything about it. He knows what he's done, and yet he still lies about it. Luke doesn't know about anything Michael says to me.

I grabbed my backpack and headed towards the hallway. I was just going to walk around until lunch ended. I was minding my own business when all of a sudden I got pushed into a locker. A sharp pain went up my back, and I was pretty sure there would be a bruise there tomorrow.

"Wow look at you Elle," said a voice I was dreading. "Everyone look at her. Look at how useless she is. She can't even speak up for herself. How pathetic."

It was Ashton. Ashton was the drummer in Michaels band. He came here to pick them up sometimes, and when he did he always made fun of me.

My cheeks reddened, and I couldn't look up. My eyes were glued to my feet, and I couldn't find my voice. It was this all over again.

"Ashton stop it," I heard Luke say and I sighed as relief flooded over me. Maybe Luke would help.

I finally looked up as Luke came over to me. He took my hand in his and squeezed lightly. I just knew Luke would do the right thing. I couldn't thank god enough for this.

"Wait," he said laughing. "Are you two dating?"

"No we're not Ashton just stop," Luke said. "It's actually quite pathetic how you would say something about her when you barely know her."

"I barely know her?" He said laughing. "Luke I've known her for at least a year. I know more about her than you do."

"Well it's pathetic because she's a nice person and all you are is a coward Ashton," Luke continued to defend me.

"Luke it's fine I can take it," I said.

"Well I don't care no one deserves to be treated like this," he said. He was angry and you could clearly tell from his tone of voice.

"She does," Ashton spat back.

"No she doesn't no matter what she did she doesn't deserve this," Luke tells Ashton with fury clear in his voice.

Luke tugged my hand and he lead me out of the circle that had formed around. We were walking for a while before we stopped, and I didn't even notice the tears in my eyes. Luke just turned around and engulfed me in a hug.

"How long have they been doing that?"

I thought about it for a while. They've been doing that ever since that one band practice a year ago now that I remember it.

"About a year," I said.

"I'm sorry that you've had to go through that," he said. There was still some anger in his voice, and he was still stiff. I hugged him back right and he relaxed a little and melted into it.

"I'm used to it by now Luke," I said hoping One of the boys wouldn't tell Luke.

"And that's the worst part about it,"

Hello... This was bad I know but eh I guess it was decent. Anyway thanks for taking the time out of your day to read this.

Ngl I think Luke and Elle would make a cute couple. What do you think?

What's your favorite song?

Mines The Girl Who Cried Wolf by 5sos. I live in the U.S. Therefore I can't own it, but I listen to it a lot.

I love you seriously thanks for taking the time out of your day and reading this!

Anyway I'll try to update more but I'm back in school and I'm on the swim team and between swim and homework I barely have time to write. I'm going to try and update at least once a week but if that doesn't happen than I'm sorry but I'll try my best I swear....
