Luke's POV

I took a right turn out of Vic's street and headed towards school on an empty street, where we originally came from. I knew I'd find Ashton walking on this road, since there's no way he could've gotten to school by foot so quickly. School is a pretty long walk from here, but Ashton seemed to insist on going by himself. Unless he cut through the woods, which I'm hoping he didn't, I'm confident that I'll find him. I don't know whether I want to find Ashton just so I can see him again, or because I'm simply being courteous and giving him a ride. Probably both.

I heaved a sigh, tapping anxiously on the steering wheel. I've acted on my gut more than my brain too many times in one day, and it's all because of Ashton. Do I like him? As far as I know, I've been straight all my life. But, I can't help but feel drawn to Ashton. He's mysterious and intriguing; I realize now that I know absolutely nothing about him. Of course, I just started talking to him today, so it's not so bad that I don't know very much.

I focused my attention back on the road, only to slam the brakes.

"Holy shit!" A person stood in the middle of the road, and they didn't even try to get out of the way. They seemed to be unfazed by the fact I almost ran over them, which was weird. Most people would not act casual when there life practically flashes before their eyes. Once I recovered from my heart almost falling out of my chest, I jumped out of the car in a panic.

"I am so sorry I--Ashton?" The hazel eyed boy looked up at me, emotionless.

"Oh, hey." I stared at him, my eyes wide.

"I almost fucking ran over you and that's all I get? An "oh hey"? Usually the person in the road would be more terrified than the driver is!" He frowned a little as he shrugged his shoulders.

"No one was stopping you." I looked down at the shorter boy, confused.

"You sound almost disappointed that I didn't hit you." He shrugged again, his eyes traveling up to my face.

"I don't know what to think." His voice was soft as he smiled faintly at me. I could tell the smile was just there to assure me he's okay, but I didn't miss the way the it didn't reach his eyes. Ashton's eyes were always lifeless, I realized sadly. I wondered why, but I wasn't going to push him.

"Well, since you're here do you want a ride to school? It'd take you less time than walking." It looked as if he was going to refuse, but he nodded. I smiled at him, walking towards the car and opening the door for him. Ashton's cheeks turned pink as he muttered a quiet thank you, and got in the car. I internally scolded myself for thinking that was adorable.
He's just a friend. I repeated in my head as I started the engine.

Ashton's POV

The car ride to school was... Awkward. Very awkward. I was too quiet for my own good, and Luke's attempt at conversation always failed miserably.

Maybe if you weren't so shy, you'd actually have friends. A voice hissed in my head. I sighed. I was hoping that today that the voices wouldn't torment me, but I was wrong. I'm always wrong. Before I got even more lost in my bad thoughts, Luke took the keys out of the car and turned to me.
