Tutor- Mashton

Chapter nine

Ashton's pov

I watched as Tyler and Josh walked away and turned around to go over to my locker to get my books since class was starting soon. I still couldn't believe what had just happened and that Calum had actually told people!, he wasted no time telling the worst people at all. I guess it was fair enough if I did something bad to him but I didn't so he didn't have any reason to hate me, well apart from being gay.

I made my way down to my locker with only a few people staring at me from what they had heard, I hope to god they don't tell anyone else. but fuck, in this school I wouldn't be surprised. Luckily nobody had touched or said anything to me about it, a dirty look here and there but it's to be expected , maybe i am getting paranoid, maybe no one knows and is just simply looking at me, but sooner or later when people truly finds out I'll be dead in two seconds. I opened my locker and took out my English books since it was the upcoming subject, English was one of my favourite subjects, it always has been, it had always been a good way for me to express what I am feeling when it came to creative writing. After I got my books I closed my locker then made my way to class, since the hallways were crowed which I hated, I bumped into someone, I looked up to see it was and to be faced with, of course, Michael.

" oh sorry, I didn't see you there." Michael said, wait what? was Michael actually being nice to me in school??, I opened my mouth to reply but quickly remembered what had happened a few minutes ago and quickly closed my mouth and continued to walk onto class, I admit, I feel shit for doing that and it didn't exactly make the voices nicer either, this was going to be hard.

Days passed, maybe weeks, i'm not even sure anymore, all I know is that I am more of a mess than I was in, in 7th grade. Calum had started to bully me in person and online, Luke had not even bothered to look at me once, if I entered a room he was in, he would leave, since he didn't want to catch my 'disease', the self harm I put upon myself had become more intense and worse and I had started to stave myself, if I did eat I would instantly throw it back up or make myself throw it up. And Michael? I have still been avoiding him, he would always try and get to me but I would find a way out, I haven't seen him try to get to me in a few days, maybe he is over me, maybe he is over the 'friendship' that we had. I sighed and continued to walk down the hallways I walked down daily, blocking out the people around me.

I let out a small yelp when before I knew it, a hand grabbed onto mine and pulled me into the boys bathroom, from what I could see, was luckily empty. "care to explain to me why you have been avoiding me?" I heard the too familiar voice say which belonged to Michael, I couldn't look at him, I didn't have the confidence to "I have to avoid you" I mumbled while staring at the floor, "avoid me? what? ash why?" I managed to look at him this time, maybe it was the concern in his voice or maybe it was just because I missed him so much, both probably " I well...um I .. like erm..Calum told Tyler and Josh and they said if I kept hanging out with you they would tell the whole school...t-that I'm a... fa-f-fag..." "what?! oh my fucking god! I am going to kill them!" Michael said with anger pure in his voice, like the night he came over to mine for the first time and it honestly scared me "and don't call yourself that! that's not the right word" I let out a sigh "It's okay with me I just don't want to get you in trouble..so yeah I'll just go now.. and don't talk to me cause I don't want to get you into this I mean you have nothing to do with it" "Ash.." "no no..it's fine.." it was pretty clear that I was lying but I just couldn't be bothered to pull a fake act on right now.

I looked over at Michael who ran his fingers through his hair stressed and started to pace, he looked quite sad but also confused at the same time.Michael looked back up at me. His eyes were so beautiful and this side of him..that seemed so caring and protective of me seemed so new and a whole new side of him, I didn't think he could become more beautiful but boy I was wrong. "no Ashton, it's not, I want to still be friends with you, I don't want people deciding who I can and can't hang out with".

As much as I knew he was right, I still felt like I had to follow what Tyler and Josh said "i know.." "so if I want to hang out with you, I will" Michael said with a small placed on his lips and grabbed my hand, my body froze when I felt his hand in mine. "Ashton I will talk to them okay? i'll make sure no one finds out that you are gay" I could feel my heart beat faster the longer his hand held onto mine . My hand became tense, Michael looked at me, rasied an eyebrow then looked down at my hand. He lifted my hand which resulted in my sleeve being rolled up, exposing my scars.

He quickly dropped my hand back and took a step backwards, his eyes full of shock and fear I knew class probably started about 10 minutes ago but I didn't care cause this moment I was having with Michael in the boys bathroom and the fact that he just saw my scars made me feel like I was going to pass out, " Michael, Michael listen to me I can expl-" Michael walked back up to me and put his finger on my lips letting a shhh sound leave his lips. I tilted my head to the side in confusion and tried to speak again," No Michael listen to me! I-i can-""Ashton! It's okay,I don't need an explanation..well I do but.... just meet me at your house after school okay?"I quickly nodded my head, "Good" Michael said softly and rolled my sleeve down while staring at my scars.

That was last word Michael said before he left the bathroom. I didn't move. I was still was standing there, alone. what the fuck is happening with my life?

I soon was able to walk out of the bathroom and make my way into the classroom. "Ashton!!"I heard someone yell my name when I enter the classroom, I turned to see who it was, of course, my teacher, fuck " I'm glad you finally chose to show up!, Now do you have a reason for being late?!"My teacher said and gave me a wave telling me to stand beside her in front of the whole class which was one of the worst things that could ever happen, I hated attention. I walked up to her and tried to hide my face as I was now standing there with twenty people staring up at me. "I eh....erhm ... I overslept sorry..."I heard a few people chuckle and my teacher let out a sigh,"Fine just go sit down!" I nodded walked over to my desk in the back and sat down, thinking and dreading of what would happen later on with Michael.
