Teenage dreams [discontinued]

"Sorry about your shirt." I apologised to Jax after I cried my eyes out in class. He was so kind to lend me his shoulder. Like literally.

"It's fine," He smiled at me. His smile was gorgeous and I loved it when he smiled at me. I gave him a hug to thank him. I glanced at the clock and read 7.03.

"Wow. Time flies," I said, looking at the boys, "Thanks for listening to my extremely clichés story guys. You all are great. Just saying. Doesn't mean I'm not mad at you for kissing me" I whispered the last part. The boys smiled and I felt so much better, even though I already said that in the toilet but I was still holding back some tears then. Now my eyes are literally dry.

"Who are they?" I heard many whispers about who the 2 new students were. At 7.30, Mrs Helms came into the classroom. After singing the national anthem and saying the pledge, we sat down and Mrs Helms spoke.

"Good morning class! Before I take the attendance let me introduce 2 new students. I'm Mrs Helms by the way. Jax Davis," On cue, Jax stood up, "And Axel Simmons," Axel stood up too, "Welcome to 4/6!" The class clapped like we always do when someone new joins our class. Lessons were actually a breeze. Jax was sitting beside me in class and I noticed he looked very troubled. His eyes or were furrowed and he was frowning. Jeremy didn't even bother me once. I was glad he actually thought about my feelings.

For the first time during recess this year, I actually went down to the canteen after some convincing by the boys. They found an empty seat at the corner of the canteen and sat down. I didn't buy any food since I already have my sandwich I prepared earlier on. "I don't want you to cry again but do you mind telling us who that boy is? And the girl from this school..." Jeremy asked when he put his plate of rice down.

"Maybe some other time." I muttered.

"Let her chill first bro," Jax said, starting his meal. I ate my sandwich quietly, thinking about how the boys reacted to me crying, while the boys talked about the teachers and lessons earlier on. I checked the clock. 10 minutes before the bell rings.

"Guys," They faced me, "Thanks...thanks for just now. I feel so much better telling someone about my past."

"It's fine." Jax side hugged me again.

"I was rather curious. You left me confused for a day." Jeremy laughed.

"Me too." Axel said, shoving a spoon of rice into his mouth.

"Axel, do...you have a tattoo?" I asked.

"Yeah. I have a dragon and a wolf. Both on my back." He replied.

"Do you mind telling me...what your tattoos mean?"

"The dragon reminds me to be fearless and not to be a coward," He ate another mouthful, "The wolf represents leadership and protection."

"Oh ok." I said. The way he answered me sounded a little bitter.

"I have 1 too! Mine's 5 arrows on my upper arm," He pointed to the covered area on his left arm, "Depicts strength and toughness."

"Wow. One day. You all better tell me about yourselves. I already told you about me." I told them.

"Depends." Axel muttered.

"No depends. It's a must. I never tell anyone that's not close to me about my past. You 3 are still not super close or whatever but I told you cause I think I can trust you."

"Fine. How about later?" Jeremy suggested. We agreed and decided to go after school.
