Let Love Bleed Red

Chapter 1

*Ash’s P.O.V*

I walked into school wearing  http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=47171229 , music blasting in my ears. I walked to my locker, but was stopped by the most popular guy in school, Stevie Jones and his gang of jocks. This happened most days, so I was used to it but even so, I still hurt to be bullied by the guy I loved.

“Hey emo bitch,” Stevie stepped in front of me so I couldn’t pass. “Have fun cutting yourself last night? No wonder no one wants to go out with you, when you have scars all over yourself and you have no friends.”

Tears sprang to my eyes. He didn’t know why I cut myself, no one did. He didn’t know how much he hurt me by bullying me every day. That was one of the many reasons I cut myself. To cope with the pain of my breaking heart that loved him so much. I took a deep breath, blinked away the tears and stayed silent.

“Nothing to say, huh?” Stevie leaned down beside my ear and pulled off my headphones. “You should get a life.” His breath tickled my ear as he whispered to me. “How about starting your social life by hanging out with me tonight? You know you want to,” he whispered seductively.

Hang out with Stevie Jones? The Stevie Jones? This couldn’t be happening. Why would want to hang out with me, Ash, the school loner? Still, a chance to hang out with him.. Slowly, I nodded my head yes.

“Good girl,” he cooed in my ear. “And wear something..pretty. not the usual shapeless things you wear. Wear something sexy.” And with that, he walked away with the rest of the jocks. I let my breath, unaware that I’d been holding it. I was going to hang out with Stevie Jones! My head felt like it was spinning, and I was dizzy with shock and excitement.

I went to my locker and got my books for my first few classes. I vaguely noticed a guy I’d never seen before. He looked about my age, with black hair that fell over his eyes. He must be new, because I’d never seen him before. He seemed to be watching me, but I couldn’t be sure.. The bell went and he looked away.

 I made my way to my first class.  As I sat down at the back beside the window, the guy that had been watching me walked. He made his way down the classroom, stopping beside me.

“This seat free?” He gestured to the seat beside me.

“Um, yeah.” The mystery boy sat down beside me and brushed his hair out of his eyes. His eyes.. The most amazing eyes I had ever seen. It was exactly like looking in to the sea. I looked away quickly, and went back to thinking about Stevie..

The second bell went and the teacher walked into the room. I sighed. This was going to be another long day…
