Michael

We arrive to school with no time to spare, usually I wouldn't take as long as I did this morning, but I got a bit caught up with talking to Luke. I don't understand how someone could be that nice to someone like me, people don't like me, people are afraid of me, people avoid me at all costs, I'm an outcast, I don't want to be, but I don't really have a choice anymore.

Well maybe if you weren't so putrid and vile people wouldn't be afraid to look in your direction; you fucking idiot.

" shut the fuck up" I whisper, louder than I meant it to be.

"What was that Mr. Clifford?" Mr. Brumder, my English teacher asks.

"well...ummm...nothing sir, it was nothing." He actually seemed relieved for the lack of confrontation, is it possible that even the teacher is afraid of me?

" Everyone is afraid of you, you're a monster, a delinquent, a nobody" 

yea, I know.

The bell sounds, instructing us to head to third period; as I leave Mr. Brumder Stops me, "Mr. Clifford, I have noticed that you have been slacking in, not only my class, but your other classes too. You are a senior and are taking sophomore classes, at the rate you are going, you'll not have enough credits to graduate this year. I know this sounds bad, but I am going to appoint you a tutor from one of my sophomore classes."

" Well who is the kid?" I ask, ready to move on to my next class.

  " Now that I have not figured out yet, there are many bright young sophomores in my other class, so let me think about it and I will notify you tomorrow."

" Thank you Sir."

And with that I walk out of the classroom.

" Hi Michael, are you okay? You look very sad. Do you need a huuuuug? Before I could process who was talking to me, and what was going on, Luke pulls me into a big hug, rocking us side to side. Almost everyone in the hallway looks shocked.

" why is Luke hugging him? He's gonna kill poor Luke." I heard a girl remark. I decided to hug back, because it's not everyday that you get a hug.

For normal people it is, dumb ass.

well I'm obviously not normal, now am I?

Don't start this, you'll lose.

I know.

Luke

" are you okay now Michael?" I ask him, pulling away.

" yea Luke, I'm fine."

"Do you maybe wanna come over after school?" I don't know where this new found confidence is coming from, but I kinda like it to be honest.

He stares at me for a moment makes a face like he's thinking about it.

" Of course I would Luke, thank you" Michael says, smiling at me.

I swear, every time I see that smile I get butterflies in my chest and start blushing like an idiot.

" I like your smile" I say.

"You've told me before. I like you"

My heart is bursting out of my chest, I can't breathe! This is the best day of my life!

" Really?" I ask.

"Really." He replies. " I really like you."

I don't understand why people are so afraid of him, he is as sweet as can be.

" Lukey!" I hear Calum yell.despondent

" Yes cal?"

" Okay, so I was chatting with Ashton while he was walking me to my class and he asked me out on a date, he was all like, " this may be a little to soon and all, but I think that you are really cute and would love to maybe take you on a date whenever you are free"

"well did you say yes?"

" What are you even talking about, of course I said yes! it's Ashton flippin Irwin baby!"

I start to feel jealousy boil up inside of me, I should be happy for Calum, Right?

" Well good luck on the date, whenever it may be!"

I say, forcing a smile.

" Thanks babe" He says as he skips down the hall.

" Are you okay, you look a little despondent" Michael asks.

" I don't wanna talk about it, anyways, here's my class...bye Mikey" I say as I go to enter the class.

"Hey! I'll see you after school, yea?" He places his hand on my shoulder and loosely grips it.

"Yea" I reply.

"We'll talk about it at yours." He says with a soft smile on his face.

I nod and go to my seat; but he stays at the door just smiling at me until the bell rings

"Shit! Bye Lukey!" he exclaims, taking off down the hall.

"Bye Mikey" I whisper, smiling

A/N

I just want to say thank you to everyone for getting this book over 115 reads! It means so much to me and I am thankful to every single one of you!

I hope you all have a good week and to those who returned to school, like myself, try not to kill anyone, I know that it is hard not to, but trust me, it's to hard to get rid of all the evidence.

Bye my little unicorns! I will talk to you in a few days.
