As I looked at the photos that he had taken of me I started to realise how talented he was. How talented everyone in this school is.

I sat down on the bench and started to question everything. Was I really meant to be here? Am I even good enough? I can't write that many songs. I've never even wrote one of my own songs.

"Si...Simon ar...are yo..you o...okay?" Josh asked as he sat down next to me.

He had worried all spread across his face. It almost looked as if that he had always had that look on his face. Constant worry.

"It's just, you're so talented and everyone else in this school is so talented and I'm starting to question of me being accepted was all just a mistake. I mean, Mr. Brown wants us to have twenty five songs by the end of the school year and I haven't even written one song in my whole entire life. I mean, am I even meant to be here?" I ranted as I realised that we both just met and he probably doesn't care.

"I...I be..believ..believe in y..you," he said as I looked up and into his eyes, "Mr. B...brown do..does th..that eve...every year. Do..don't wo..worry. He wa..wants to se..see who is to...tough eno...enough to mak..make it in the mus...music busi..business."

"Honestly?" I asked as he nodded his head.

"Don...don't ev...ever dou...doubt your..yourself." He said as I smiled.

At that moment I just wanted to hug him, but I knew that would be inappropriate as we just met and he doesn't even really trust me as much to do something like that.

I also realised that we only had about fifteen minutes left and had left all of our stuff in his treehouse.

"Josh, not to ruin the moment but we totally forgot all of our stuff at your treehouse and we only have fifteen minutes until class starts." I said as his eyes widen and he stood up and started to run.

"Co..come on!" He yelled as I laughed and we both started to run towards the tree.

We ended up being about ten minutes late to our class, but we also realised that we were both in the same class again.

The class was intermediate photography, which confused me because why would Josh been in this class.

I also noticed that Tobi and Vik were both in the class and gave me strange looks when both Josh and I walked in. I decided to go and sit with them and when I did that Josh tensed up and went the exact opposite direction of me.

"Now that Joshua has made it, with one of our first years we can begin the lesson. I want you all to take the classic selfie in which originated in Australia where the first coined the word selfie. The reason behind this is because I want to see how you capsulate yourself and how you see yourselves. This will be your first grade in my class. Also, Simon and Josh, please do not be late to my class. I'm Mr. UBank, just so you know." He said obviously upset that we were late to class.

"What are you doing with Josh?" Vik asked as soon as everyone else in the class started to talk.

"We were assigned a project in English together. I had to spend time with him. And anyway, he's not even bad. He's really sweet and I had a lot of fun spending time with him. I'm tired of you guys hating on him. I mean what the hell did he ever do to you?" I said almost as a reflex, I felt like I had almost needed to defend Josh.

I wasn't really defending myself and my reason for hanging out with Josh. It was more like I had to defend Josh. I didn't care what they thought about me, just what they thought about Josh.

"You know what, I think I'm going to go sit with him right now. See ya guys later." I said as I got up and walked over to Josh.

I didn't care what they think about Josh. I don't care what anyone thinks about Josh. What they think about me hanging out with him. Or anything like that. I like to spend time with him. He's different and sweet and he makes me happy. That's all I care about.
