OK GUYS I HAVE TO HOLD OFF THE TFIOS IDEA FOR NOW BECAUSE I HAVE TO UPDATE TWO OF MY OTHER STORIES BUT I'LL WRITE IT SOONN AND YAY I ACTUALLY UPDATED THIS
-----------------------------------------
Luke's POV
As I slammed my locker and was about to head straight to the hospital to see Ashton like I always do after school, I stopped at the sound of Vic's voice. I turned around, but immediately regretted it when I saw his serious expression. I knew he was about to give me some advice and say deep shit, or lecture me about something I did wrong.
"Luke, I saw the fight between you and Michael and I--I don't think you should've done that--" I cut him off, not liking where this was going. This was to be expected, of course. Sometimes Vic needs to have a little fun, but not as much fun as Kellin. Kellin needs to be more serious if anything, and I now just realized that Vic and Kellin are pretty much opposites. Well, opposites attract I suppose.
"I had too, Vic--" He let out a huff, glaring at me.
"I'm sorry to say this, but fighting one of the most popular kids in the school is going to eventually bite you in the ass, and I really don't want to see you get in more trouble." Fuck, he's actually right. I groaned and hit my head against a locker. I really didn't think things through, did I? But how could I when Michael was making fun of Ashton, who doesn't deserve any of the shit he goes through?
Before I could reluctantly tell Vic that he had a valid point, I saw Kellin come up from behind him, and without warning jump on Vic's back, causing Vic to stumble and let out a screech.
Kellin giggled evilly as Vic whined,
"Holy shit Kellin you could've killed me and broken my back! Is that what you want?" Kellin slid off of Vic and pouted.
"No, of course not. Then who would I have to cuddle with?" I could hear in Kellin's voice that he was joking, but Vic's face was red and I felt like I was watching them not so subtly flirt. I didn't know if I found it cute or weird, but I coughed loudly, causing both of them to blush and look away from each other. They're so obvious.
Once Kellin finally noticed I was there, he started jumping up and down, excitedly exclaiming,
"The fight between you and Michael was fucking awesome! Damn, I didn't know you could punch so har--um," Kellin's voice slowly stopped as Vic gave him a disapproving look. Kellin bit his lip, as if to make sure he kept his mouth shut.
"It seems like the both of you didn't think through the actual consequences of getting in a fight with a popular kid, an intimidating popular kid." Kellin awkwardly glanced at me, realizing that I'm screwed.
And I was. But I didn't regret it one bit, if it meant that I was getting back at one of Ashton's bullies.
-----------------------------------------
Michael's POV
I missed the bus, since my locker got jammed. Fuck, could this day get any worse? I already got in a fight and narrowly missed getting detention. I closed my locker, cursing at it because it made me have to walk home.
I turned around and began walking down the hall, until my eyes landed on someone. Once I realized it was Calum, I began to run to catch up to him.
"Hey, could you give me a ride home? The busses already left and I don't have a car." I chuckled breathlessly. Calum turned around and grinned at me, and his eyes crinkled which I thought was so ador-um, was I about to think he was adorable? Oh fuck. My thoughts about Calum have been so strange lately.
"Of course, Mikey!" I sighed in relief and followed Calum to his car. I did not want to walk home, that's way too much moving around and I hated being outside. I glanced at Calum and saw he was biting his lip, as if to suppress a smile. Okay, maybe I thought that was a little bit cute, but it's normal to think that about your best friend sometimes, right?
I noticed how differently Calum acted in front of just me. He was almost a bit shy sometimes, he was sweet, a little bit dorky, and fun to be around. That was the real Calum, the better Calum, but he acts so much differently at school. He was pretty much an asshole, he was known as a "player" and he teased other people. Especially Ashton, but for no reason. What did Ashton ever do?
I furrowed my eyebrows. Maybe I should be asking myself the same question. And honestly, I had no idea why I picked on Ashton. I even fought with one of his friends, Luke.
And suddenly, a thought hit me. Maybe I pick on Ashton because... I'm jealous. I'm jealous because of the way Luke defended Ashton like I was offending him instead, and the way Ashton's other friend Kellin pleaded for me to bully him instead of Ashton. Ashton had true friends, friends that would die for him, but what did I have?
I had fake friends. Disposable friends that only like me because I'm popular. Maybe Calum was my only real friend, and I have never felt so lonely in my life.
"Are you okay?" Calum stared at me in concern, and I just realized that we were already standing in the school parking lot. I also realized that I had a tear running down my cheek.
I wiped my tear away angrily,
"Why do we bully Ashton, Calum? Why do we hurt people?" Calum looked taken aback.
"Because they deserve it." He said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world, as he casually took out his car keys to unlock the doors.
"How could you say that?" I exclaimed in disbelief. I felt my throat close up and my eyes burn with unshed tears. What is wrong with me? Calum looked confused.
"Why is it so hard for you to believe I would say that?" I scoffed as Calum climbed into the drivers seat. I stood outside of the car, crossing my arms at him.
"Maybe I find it so hard to believe because I know the real Calum would never hurt anyone." Calum shook his head, avoiding my gaze. He slammed the car door closed and was about to ignite the engine, but I knocked on the window.
"Fucking roll down the window, Calum!" I yelled in rage and glared daggers at him through the tint of the car window.
He slowly rolled down the window and sighed.
"What is it, Michael?" I bit my lip, and let out a small sigh in defeat. If I couldn't get Calum to crack under pressure already, then I'll just have to keep trying.
"I just... Can I still have a ride home?" He stared at me for a bit, and I was afraid he was going to say no, but I saw a familiar glint in his eye. The real Calum also tended to be very forgiving.
"Get in, bitch." We ended up laughing the whole car ride to my house, and I felt my stomach flutter.
That was the Calum I had accidentally fallen in love with, not the one at school. Not the asshole, or the player, or the bully.
I had begun to fall for my best friend, the one I had known all my life.
