Lee POV

Same thing again today constant shit from people in school. I've tried so hard to numb my emotions but it feels impossible. Constantly being bullied in school because of my looks and because I don't talk to anyone. I don't dress myself up like the typical jock and I don't have a loud mouth. And I get nothing but crap for it.

The only way I can escape from this is the internet.
I posted a picture last night of myself on Instagram I don't know why it's not like I get any more than 11 likes on every picture.

That's when a notification caught my eye it was another like and comment.
Matt-Nichollis "You're cute 😍❤️"
I kind of blushed a little he's probably just saying that or laughing with his mates behind the phone screen.

As I looked at my messages for the first time I had one.
"Matt-Nichollis would like to send you a message"
What if it was something like he was just taking the piss and now he wanted to send me hate? I felt myself become nervous as I thought about it. Should I read it? Fuck it.

I clicked on accept and went to read the message
'Hi 😊 I know you probably don't know much about me but we live around the same area although I don't think we go to the same school but...looking at your IG you seem like a cool guy and you're not so bad on the eyes either 😉'

He thought I was cool? And he thought I was good looking? I shook my head at the thought he's obviously lying why would someone want to talk to me? No one else does.
'Hi, thanks for the compliment but I know it's a joke' I typed before pressing send.

About ten minutes late to got a reply.
Matt- 'What do you mean? 😕 I mean people like I'm an asshole but I'm not that much of an asshole 😊 but I mean it! You seem like a really cool guy! What makes you think otherwise?'
Lee - 'no one has ever given me a compliment people just call me a freak and ugly etc'
Matt - 'fuck em! Those fuckers are not worth it! You don't need people like that in your life' he replied I was surprised really. No one had ever told me that or even stood up for me, everyone just kind of joins in.

Matt 'to be honest those people are probably jealous from what I've seen, you seem like a really cool guy and those girls who join in? There's jealous and annoyed because they know if they asked you for a shag you would turn them down you seem like someone who has more self respect' he continued. I kind of felt warm and comforted inside but inside I still felt like it was all a joke.

Lee 'thanks 😊 you're actually the first person to ever stand up for me' i hesitantly typed back.
Matt - 'it's no problem 😄 no one ever deserves to feel like shit'

We ended up speaking for hours and hours for the rest of the day I told him I played guitar and I found out he plays the drums, we both have similar taste in music too. It started getting late.
'Hey I know we've only just started speaking but I live literally two houses away from you...do you wanna hang out at mind tomorrow? After you go to school? 😊'

I felt incredibly nervous now..what if it was a trap? I mean I have seen him around before, kind of a loud gobby guy but he seems cool.
'Ok 😋' I sent to him nervously.
Matt - 'Great I'm excited now! Bring your guitar I wanna hear you play! 😝'

Lee - 'It's getting late so I'm going to head to bed it that's alright? 😴'
Matt - 'yeah that's fine goodnight beautiful 😘'

I felt a blush rise to my cheeks was he taking the piss or?
Lee - '😐'
Matt - 'what?! I can't help it that I like what I see 😉😍' he replied.
Lee - 'goodnight Matt'
Matt - 'goodnight babe 😘x'

I rolled my eyes before turning my phone off. I sighed before lying down on the bed. I began to feel a lump in my throat like I have been holding my emotions in for too long. That's when I began to cry.

But they weren't sad tears...no they were happy tears. For so long I've had no one to talk to, no one who will care about what I say or even listen. But now...now I have someone to talk to me! Someone who cares and will waste his time texting me!

Maybe I'm not so alone in this dark world.
