Lukes POV
I've been going to the cotton candy store more often. Not because I want cotton candy but because of the boy named Calum. I find an attraction to him. He's always there so why not?

I know my mom tells me not to talk to strangers but he's not a stranger anymore. I don't understand why she told me not to because isn't everyone a stranger at first? She was basically telling me not to make friends.

He called me pretty. I smiled a real smile. It felt different when he called me pretty. It made my tummy and my heart feel weird. I couldn't stop thinking about him. I still can't.

I think I like him. Like in the way when you kiss and hug each other.

He has a very pretty voice too. He was singing a song by sleeping with sirens lightly as I walked into the store. I smiled a big smile. It was so beautiful.

I found out he moved here because when he lived in Australia he was bullied. He moved here because no matter where he moved in Australia he would just get picked on. I told him I get picked on here too. I told him it was because I want to feel pretty.

He still doesn't know I'm homeless. I don't want him to know. He'll either pity me or stop talking to me and I don't like either of those.

Calum goes to my school. He's in 4 of my classes. He makes the bullies stop hurting me. He wasn't at school one day. They beat me up more than they've ever beaten me up before. I almost had to go to the hospital but I can't because of the hospital bill.

He gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek when I told him what happened. I blushed real hard. He told me he was sorry and he'd never leave me alone again. He promised.

He told me a secret. But I'm not aloud to say. Okay I'll say it just this once. He told me he liked boys. I told him it was okay and that I wouldn't see him any different.

I'm scared. I've never had a friend before. I don't want this to end badly.
