Changes. (Asa Butterfield)

76

The bell rang, signalling it was time for second period. Asa still hadn't returned.

"Don't worry, Gem." Aramis gave my hand a little squeeze. I squeezed his back gratefully.

"Love you!" I said, in a bestfriend kinda way.

"Love you too!" He replied, chuckling. Danielle grinned.

"What about me you two!" She said, breaking us apart and putting her both arms around us.

"Love you too Danielle." I said, laughing.

"Yup, me too." Aramis said, giving her a kiss on the lips while I awed.

"Cuties." I said, watching as they blushed. We walked past the office, and saw that Asa was still sitting there, alone. I rushed over.

"Hey!" He didn't reply. "Asa?"

"Leave me alone, Gemma." He shrugged me off.

"What?" I said, hurt.

"I said, LEAVE ME ALONE. Are you deaf?" I felt my eyes brim with tears after that comment.

"Asa... I--" He cut me off.

"Gemma, fuck off."

"Okay.. I'm sorry," Feeling a tear slip, I ran to geography. Aramis and Danielle had saved me a seat. I smiled weakly, but I knew I wasn't fooling them.

"He--.. Gemma? What's wrong?" Danielle asked, putting her arm around me and shaking my shoulder. Aramis gazed past her, looking me in the eyes.

"Yeah Gemma, what's wrong?" He asked, getting off his seat and kneeling down beside me. When people comfort me, it just makes me worse. I suddenly broke down.

"I'm s-s-sorry," I gulped. "It's just, A-Asa was being really m-mean too me, and I don't know what I've done!"

"Ugh, Asa," Danielle rolled her eyes, and made me cuddle up to her. I cried on her shoulder, while the other kids awkwardly stared at us three. The teacher came in, taking a sip of his coffee and looking around.

"Good Morning class-- Gemma? What's wrong?" He said, looking at me, a sobbing mess.

"Nothing Mr McCall." I said, blowing my nose into a tissue.

"Don't you feel well?" He asked. I shook my head 'no'.

"Go to the office please, and Danielle and Aramis go with her." He said, setting his flask down.

"N-no, I'm alright now sir, honestly." I replied, wiping my eyes quickly. I wasn't ready to face Asa again.

"Nope, you look very very pale. Go please," He said, not taking no for an answer. I had to go.

"C'mon Gem, it'll be okay." Danielle said, rubbing smooth circles on my back as we exited.

"Yeah. It will be, he will have calmed down." Aramis added.

'Will he have calmed down?' I thought silently.

A/N - What do you thinks wrong with Asa? Comment, I'll do 2 shoutouts, one for the last QOTD too, I'm sitting in surgery, waiting for my clumsy twin sister. Who, BTW, broke her arm doing gymnastics. She's the fit one, I'm just a lazy slob who likes too sit down on my iPad with some hot cocoa or something.

Yup.

(BTW; Another fucking story is copying me. Please, GTFO and get your own ideas! Jesus, it's not that hard!)
