Withering away (DDLB)

The Beginning

**Picture is Noah**

Zach's P.O.V

I'm walking down the hallway its not really crowded since class starts soon. I'm messing around with my friend shoving each other and laughing. We aren't paying attention and Blake runs into a small boy. Or at least I think he is a boy. 

"Watch where you are going, loser" Blake just laughs and walks off. "Come on Zach" I just look at him then look back at the small boy shaking and slowly pick up his books. "You go ahead i will catch up later" I say getting on my knees to help this small helpless little boy in front of me. I start to pick up the papers this small boy dropped. He slowly stands up and i follow suit, not knowing who he is but dying to ask. 

"Here you dropped these" I hand him the papers. "Hey don't worry about Blake he's a dick" He says. The small boy just nods. "Oh I saw on one of your papers it said..."I pause debating on asking. "You know what i will just text you about it, give me your arm" He shakes his head and hands me a piece of paper instead. I furrow my eyebrows confused but shrug it off. I look at it and read the front. It says 'DDLB, My life' I look at it for a second and debate on asking now. I shrug it off, it can wait. I had him back the paper with my number on it. 

"Here, text me later" I smile slightly and start to walk away. I turn around "oh and you might want to flip the paper over" I wink at him and then keep walking rounding the corner. 

Noah's P.O.V

I stand there confused then flip the paper over and my jaw drops. I'm pretty sure it hit the floor. I feel my face flood with embarrassment and run to my locker shoving all my books in my bag and practically sprint out the door. After I get outside I slow down walking and shove my earbuds in and blast some music. As i'm walking down the street I hear a honk and turn around to see Zach smiling at me and slowing down. "Hey small one, need a ride" He gives me a heart wrenching smile and i blush nodding and slowly opening the door. I climb in and put my bag on the floor. I stare out the window and practically jump out of my seat when he speaks "Actually......" He pauses and then starts laughing. "Did i scare you?!" He laughs louder and i blush covering my face with my hands. "Awe babe im sorry i didn't mean to laugh it was just really cute" He says and puts his hand on my thigh. My eyes widen and I look down at his hand and then slowly up at him. He realizes what im looking at and takes his hand away "sorry" he tells me quietly. I open my mouth to talk but close it again and take out my phone. I put in his number and text Zach. 

'I don't talk so....most people just give up on trying to get me too. I have a lot of problems and i hate dragging people into it so if you want to take the risk and be friends with me then okay but just be prepared for me being clingy and doing anything so that i dont loose you.......as a friend of course. But please dont just play me and then leave.' I hit send and go back to staring out the window and watch him pull over and open his phone. I hear it lock again. "Hey.....look at me please" I turn around slowly and look at him with my eyes down. "Look I think youre really adorable and I don't know your sexuality or even your name but i would love to talk to you and help you with every single issue."
