Wonders of Being Me (Luke Hemmings)

Chapter Three: Let it Begin

I take a step back from the person I ran into.

"Luke, I don't have time for your shit right now." Ashton says.

I look at the boy in front of me. I notice his lip piercing and how his blonde hair stood up perfectly, making him look super cute.

"What? You don't have time for your best friend?" Luke asks sarcastically, pretending to be offended.

"No, you know what I mean. I don't have time for it right now. Please, leave me alone and her alone and go away."

I look at Ashton and Luke, I notice that they're body language indicates that Ashton knows what's about to happen while Luke couldn't care to give a fuck.

"Well, hi. I'm Hazel and you are?" I stuck my hand out to shake Luke's hand.

"No. Don't presume someone like you can talk to someone like this." He gestures to himself.

I stand there, shocked. How rude was that?

"Excuse you? Who are you to say who's good enough to talk to you?"

He grins, I knew I stepped right where I wanted he wanted me to.

I hear Ashton mutter something but I was too focused on the asshole in front of me.

"I just thought you would know, I mean look at you."

I put a hand on my hip and wait for more fucking nonsense to spew out of his mouth.

"You're that and I'm this. Do you really think someone like you could even talk to me?"

I couldn't find words, I know I may not be the prettiest. I don't have blonde hair or beautiful blue eyes, I can tell you one thing: looks shouldn't separate who can talk to who.

"Why do I even bother with a fat fuck like you?" He says and looks over to Ashton.

"Fuck you!" I shout and storm off.

"You're an ass." I hear Ashton say to Luke.

"Tell me something I don't know."

"Hazel, wait!" I hear Ashton shout to me but I keep walking.

Who was Luke to tell me I wasn't good enough to talk to him? What the actual fuck?

I am enraged but a little sad as well. Am I really that gross that the first thing this rather attractive boy to say was that I wasn't good enough to talk to him?

I know I am not the prettiest but I am definitely not the ugliest.

I look at the classes around me and find the 1800 room number, and I walked in to my class.

"Hazel, wait up."

I let Ashton catch up with me and he gives me a sympathetic look.

"He's an ass." He says and I couldn't agree more but I decided that I would avoid him at all costs.

I nodded my head in agreement and found a seat in the way back.

Ashton follows me to the back of the class and sits next to me.

"You're not going to like this-" He was interupted by, non other, than Luke.

He winked at me before walking all the way to the back and sat in the seat right next to me.

"Is this what I wasn't going to like?" I whisper over to Ashton. He nods his head and looks to the front of the class.

"You're an uptight bitch. What? Couldn't take the fact that you're too bland to talk to me?" Luke whispers and I felt my tears collect in the corner of my eye.

I wanted to cry, fuck yes I wanted to cry but I'll be damned if he sees me cry. Thirty minutes on the first day of school and I'm already being picked on.

"Fuck you! Who are you to fucking say that I can't talk to you? If anything, you're too fucking stupid to talk to someone like me! So why don't you shut your damn mouth because it's not my fault you're using such harsh words to cover up for something that your missing in your life." I shout at Luke who looks momentarily stunned.

"If you know what I mean." I glance in the direction of his crotch and his eyes widened.

"Oh honey, if only you knew how big it really was." He whispers to me.

I found it rather stupid that he was whispering while I was yelling.

"Oh honey, I couldn't give a single fuck just how big you think your dick is."

I hear Ashton chuckle next to me and a smirk appears on my face. As much as Luke's simple harsh words really hurt, I wasn't going to let him see that they were hurting me.

"You're too fucking ugly to even know what a dick looks like." He flatly states.

"You're more than likely some pathetic virgin who probably had her first kiss on some fucking high school party game because that was the only way you could."

Ouch. I turn around and feel the tears start up again. Ashton looks over to me and smiles, I tried to hide the sadness on my face but it was too hard. A tear fell from my eye and slowly slipped down my cheeck.

This was only the beginning of a very long school year.
