"I have um, Music with Mr W?" I say shyly, sounding more like a question. "We have the same class! I'll show you the way, come on!" Josh says excitedly grabing my arm and dragging me away, I jump at first from shock but turn around and shrugs at Frank and Gerard. I hear them laugh as I nearly trip over my feet when Josh stops. I rub my wrist from where he was dragging me, I was honestly scared if they started to bleed again.

"Sorry" He says softly "did I hurt you?" He asks, a hint of worrie in his voice. I shake my head giggling "no! I'm fine" I say trying to sound as casual as possible. He looks down at my wrists and and back up at me, worry fills his eyes. I realize I'm still rubbing my wrists, and stop. "Oh, that. It's nothing" I say.

The teacher let's us in and Josh and I sit next to each other at the back.

"Okay class, so we shocking have no assessment for music this term. So you will only be graded on your effort. You can go in pairs and do whatever you want" Mr W says. Josh looks at me, "Do you play an instrument?" He asks. I nod my head.

"Yeah, piano and ukulele. What about you?" I say. Josh smiles, he's cute! "Ha, yeah the drums" he says.

"Cool!" I say and a boy  come up to us. I can tell he is a bad person, especially because when he walk over Josh's smile drops and he looks down at the desk scared.

"So Josh, someone is actually talking to you. How much is his parents paying you?" the boy says, he's tall and has ice blue hair with snakebite piercings. I hear Josh sigh and see his eyes start to water. "Nothing, I'm talking to him by choice" I say. He laughs "did they pay you to say that too?". Again I shake my head no.

"Frank! Leave Josh and Tyler alone" Mr W says. And the boy walks away.

I put my hand on Josh's shoulder, a tear rolls down his cheek. "Has he always treated you like that?" I ask, he nods quickly and throws his head on the desk. I quickly raise my hand and Mr W walks up to us "May Josh and I go to the bathroom? He needs a break" I say quietly. Mr W nods his head. I mouth a thank you and tug Josh on the edge of his shirt, he looks up with red puffy eyes, "Hey, come on. I talked to Mr W" I say and we both stand up and walk out the door.

About five steps out of the classroom Josh stops in his path and turns to face me. "What's wrong?" I ask. He shakes his head and pulls me into a hug, I'm shocked at first but I then wrap my arms around his waist and he buries his head into my neck/ shoulder.

I hear muffled sobs and his tears soak my shoulder, I ignore it and hug him tighter, whispering "it's okay, you're okay" over again until he calms down.

We eventually part, Josh wipes his eyes and looks at me. His eyes have a scared but yet comfortable look. 

"S-sorry, I'm just sick of it" he says looking at his feet. I look at him and smile softy, "it's okay, and totally understandable" I say and he looks up at me and smiles weakly.

"Wanna get a drink?" I say when we part. He nods his head and we walk off to the water fountain.

"Um Tyler?" Josh asks a little uncertain. "Yeah, whats wrong" I say.
He rubs the back of his neck "uh-um, wanna come to my place after school?"  he says looking up at me.

I think for a few seconds and nod my head "Sure! I'll have to ask my mum but it should be fine"

He smiles and starts walking back to the classroom and I follow behind him.

We walk back into the classroom and sit down. Josh and I talk for a while, mostly about music.  Frank kept throwing paper at us but we ignored it, mostly because the teacher yelled at him and started lecturing him about bullying. It was actually funny.

The bell goes and everyone bolts out, Josh and I wait till everyone is gone and walk out to the oval to meet the guys.
