Tweedle-dumb And Tweedle-dead

One Life

Open your eyes,

And know you're free to come alive.

You gotta live it while you can,

You only get one life.

LUKES P.O.V.

I've been trying to talk to Ashton all day, we share a lot of classes, but he's always in last and out first. That boy knows how to disappear better than a chameleon.

It's lunch now, hopefully I'll be able to find him. I'm sitting with Calum and Michael again, Ashtons late again. 

"Michael, Cal, can Ashton sit with us?" I ask, breaking their previous conversation about their favorite Call Of Duty guns.

Michael looks confused for a moment before he figures out who I'm talking about. "Ashton? Is that his name? Sure, why not."

"I don't want Tweedle-dumb to sit with us, he's an awful person, why would you want to be his friend?" Calum protests. 

"Stop calling him that. We don't even know why everyone hates him, he has no friends, shouldn't we at least try to get to know him, decide for ourselves?" I ask, getting annoyed with how much Calum belives rumours.

"There's a reason everyone hates him and calls him that! I've been trying to find out what happened since you brought him up. No one will say exactly, but it has something to do with formal popular kid, Harry Styles. He used to be kinda popular too. Also Louis and some other semi-popular people. 

"He was known as Tweelde-dum, Harry was Tweedle-dee. Apparently they were joined at the hip. After, as people call it, 'that day', Louis and the rest of them basically shunned him, which made everyone else follow. Later people started finding out about how he did something to hurt someone. I haven't gotten the exact thing he did, but I think it has something to do with why Harry is dead." Calum finishes as me and Michael gape at him.

"You found all that out in a day and a half?!" Michael asked, still shocked. 

Calum nods. "I'm very in with all the biggest gossipers. Getting information is fairly easy when you know the right people." 

"Still, that could all be rumours, or a misunderstanding. Please Cal? I really wanna give him a shot." I whine, pouting at him.

He sighs. "Fine. But you better be right about him." 

I smile. "Yay! Thank you Cally!" I hug him tight. He shoves me off.

"Yeah yeah, just go find Twee- uh, Ashton."

I wait for him, staring at the entrance of the cafeteria. About two minutes later he walks in with his hood up and his head down, hiding his face completely. I stand up and go to him.

"Hey Ashton!" I smile cheerily.

"Uh, hi." He says quietly, looking extremely awkward.

"Want to come sit with me and my friends? We'd love to get to know you more, especially me." I ask enthusiastically, still smiling. 

He shifts a bit, still looking down. "Um, sure, I-I guess."

I smile wider. "We're sitting right over there, you can get your food then come sit."

"Oh, I don't eat lunch. The- the school food is awful." He says, almost unsure. I eye him suspiciously for a moment before brushing it off. He's right, school food is awful.

I lead him back to our table and sit down, him sitting next to me.

"Hello, I'm Michael." Michael smiles at him.

"A-Ashton." He whispers quietly.

Michael stayssmiling. "Nice to meet you Ashton." 

Ashton nods a bit.

I kick Calum under the table. We have a silent argument for a second before he finally speaks. 

"I'm Calum." He smiles and goes back to eating. I frown at how rude he's being, he really needs to stop listening to gossip.

The rest of lunch Me, Michael and Calum talked, occasionally asking Ashton questions where he would nod, shake his head, shrug, or reply in short whispered answers.

Overall, it turned out pretty well. Ashton seems cool and he fits in really well with us. I hope we can get him to open up a bit and officially become a part of our small group. For some reason, I'm really interested in that boy.
