High School Never Ends ◎5sos◎

27 "you can call me matt or matty"

Michael awkwardly walked into the canteen to get lunch, he has only made two friends and they are Tony, he is pretty funny and doesn't give two shits on where he is.

And Ashley.

He got his food and tried to find a seat, he saw Ashley and he was sitting next to a boy. Ashley got a glance at Michael and her smile became bigger. She waved and signalled Michael to come sit next to her.

"Michael hey!" She greeted him with a hug that he didn't expect.

"How are you?" He asked sitting down.

"Pretty good, oh Michael this is Matthew." The curly black haired boy waved.

"You can call me Matt or Matty I don't really care." He had a very strong English accent which made Michael feel fascinated.

"Okay, hey you can call me Mike of Mikey or just Michael I don't mind." He lightly laughed.

"That's a deal, Mike." He took out his hand for him shake.

"Alright, Matty." He took his gesture and smiled.

"This is the cutest thing I've never seen" Ashley's voice raised clapping her hands in excitement.

"That's not the only thing that's cute." Matty playfully winked at her and she nudged him whilst laughing.

Michael just sat there feeling out of place but played along and just joined the laughter.

"Oh, Michael I wanted to show you something!" She told Matty they would be right back and he gave them a thumbs up. She grabbed Michael's hand and they ran out of the canteen.

Ashley stopped and they were both standing by a door.

"So, what was it you wanted to show me?" Ashley smiled and unlocked the mystery door. They went inside and Michael gasps.

All around the room was paintings, pastel pink walls but colourful paintings.

"Wow." He spun around to see everything on the wall.

"What do you think?" She excitedly asked.

"It's so...incredible!" He looked at her and she jumped around feeling happy about the compliment.

"Thank you."

"Did you paint all of these?"

"When you've been in here for a while you get bored, suddenly I found out I can paint and it took me ages to find a spare room. They let me have one to reveal stress and painting makes me calm. Also when I've met you I've felt the same development." That made Michael felt something he's not ever felt before.

Happiness

"Oh and you and Matty seem like a nice couple." His heart fell as he brought that back into his mind.

"Michael he's not my boyfriend!" She giggled, Michael looked up in relief.

"He's not?"

"No, he's been in here longer than me and we've became really good friends and that's all. Why? You love me?" She teased and he nervously laughed.
