-Allison-P.O.V-
The next day I had two free periods in the first two classes of the day because we had a big English test in third period at 12:00pm. The two pre periods were meant for studying and going over what the test about and shit but no one really did use it for that except the so called goody two shoes girls, anyways since Emily has all the same classes as me and we're seniors we didn't have to go to school until third period started. So during that time Em and I went to a café to get breakfast across the road from her house and headed to the library to go over each others notes and get help off each other but ended up talking about what happened yesterday with Michael.
"Why does everyone assume such bad things about him, yeah he seems really punk and stuff, but ever heard of the saying 'don't judge a book by its cover'. All those tattoos could have great meaning" I asked her.
Emily looked up at me from her phone "And why are you so interested in him anyways?" she asked laughing at me.
I thought about it and realizes how nosey I'm being. In response a just shrugged and pulled out my phone.
The time was leaning towards 12:00 now so we gathered our notes and left the library and walked back to Emily's house to get her car.
We arrived at school a bit early so we went and found a bench to sit at before the test started.
"How do you think you're going to go in the test?" I asked Emily.
She was going to respond when she stopped her words dead in her tracks and slightly nodded to someone behind me. I got the message and turned my head to see Michael approaching us looking at the ground with his hands in the pockets of his black skinny jeans, he also wore a white mussel T-shirt with a black leather jacket over the top and on his feet were black converse. His hair was a dyed vibrant blue, I noticed his green eyes as he stood in front of me, he began to apologize again for what he done.
"I'm so sorry that I punched you-." He gestured for me to say my name "Allison" I told him. "Well I'm sorry Allison I would never intentionally hit a girl". He told me. I looked back at Emily who was playing with a pencil and looking down, I looked back up at Michael and stood up not even near his 6 ft. frame. He looked down at me and that's when I realized how attractive he actually was. No I didn't just think that about a druggie. The bell rang signalling to get to class, I looked away for a second and back to see him gone walking back into the building.
That afternoon I told Emily that I would walk home today she gave me a weird look but shrugged it off. As I was walking down the pathway I walked past an ally way I took a quick glance down it seeing a black figured walking towards me so I walked a bit faster even though the person is harmless but you never know. I heard foot steps close behind me and someone say my name, I stopped walking and turned to see the one and only Michael Clifford I smiled at him he returned the smile.
"Do you want me to walk you home its getting dark, and this could make up for what I done?" he asked almost shyly. I smiled and nodded my head.
The silence was growing awkward and so was my curiosity towards this boy. I decided to break the now awkward silence and ash him why everyone thinks what they do about Michael.
"Hey Michael is it?" I asked first. He nodded his head still looking straight in front of us not bothering to look at me.
"Um, I don't want to seem rude at all but why does everyone you're such a bad person?" I asked secondly.
"What do you mean?" he asked this time glancing at me this time.
"Well I've been told that you know..." I trailed off coughing awkwardly.
He chuckled to himself and stopped turning to look down at me "No I don't know and won't until you ask me the question you want to because I could be thinking a completely different thing from you". He told me sarcastically.
I giggled at his behaviour, turning my face serious for the question I'm about to ask. Ok so, people warned me to stay away from because they've heard rumours that you do drugs and you're an alcoholic..." I said trailing off once again.
He chuckled again "People are right for once; firstly, I will admit I've done drugs before but I'm not addicted and secondly I do drink but I'm not under the circumstance an alcoholic if you no what I mean". He informed me.
I nodded and said "oh then people got it all wrong basically".
He nodded in agreement and said "lets get youhome your parents might be worried". I nodded mimicking him from before, hejust laughed at my action towards him starting the rest of the walk to my house.
