SCHOOL HAD CARRIED ON PRETTY WELL ALL WEEK. IT WAS THE SAME THING EVERY WEEK. ASHTON, LUKE, AND MICHAEL WOULD HANG OUT AND CAUSE TROUBLE AS USUAL BEING THE IDIOTS THEY WERE. BUT YOU HAD TO LOVE EACH AND ONE OF THEM.

FRIDAY WAS THE DAY WHERE MICHAEL COULD FEEL EVERYTHING FALLING BACK INTO PLACE AND HE ALMOST FELT NORMAL. EXCEPT THE NON- "NORMAL" FEELINGS HE HAD FOR LUKE WHICH HE WAS SURE WOULD NEVER DISAPPEAR. BUT WHEN HE WAS ABOUT TO HEAD TO HIS LOCKER FOR LAST PERIOD HE SAW LUKE.WHICH WAS HONESTLY MAYBE THE HIGHLIGHT OF HIS DAY. BUT HE HADNT SEEN THE GIRL IN FRONT OF LUKE, YET.

IF ONLY LUKE WASNT THE IDIOT HE WAS. HE MAYBE WOULDVE UNDERSTOOD WHY MICHAEL HAD THIS HEARTBREAKING LOOK IN HIS EYES.

MICHAEL FELT HIS HEART SHRINK TILL THERE WAS NO HEART AT ALL. IT HADNT BEEN A FEW DAYS SINCE LUKES RECENT BREAK UP AND HE AND MICHAEL WERE GETTING CLOSER SPENDING WAY MORE TIME THAN USUAL.?MICHAEL WAS HEARTBROKEN. MICHAEL COULD FEEL THE TEARS BRIM AT HIS EYES WHICH ONLY MADE HIM FEEL WORSE. HIS TINY FEET BEGAN SHUFFLING AWAY SLOWLY THEN TURNED INTO HIGH SPEED RUNNING. RUNNING AWAY FROM LUKES VOICE, HIS BODY, HIS SCENT, HIS EYES. HIM.

MICHAEL COULD FEEL HIS PAIN SLOWLY START TO TURN INTO ANGER. HE HAD RUN ALL THE WAY OUTSIDE NEAR THE BLEACHERS. HE REGRETTED JUST WEARING A JUMPER AND NOT BRINGING A COAT SINCE LUKE WOULD HAVE BEEN DROPPING HIM HOME. "FUCK HIM." MICHAEL SAID GRINDING HIS TEETH.

HE WAS PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY EXHAUSTED. LETTING A SIGH ESCAPE HIS LIPS HE LET HIMSELF SLOWLY DROP TO THE GROUND JUST SITTING THERE TUGGING AT HIS FADED GREEN HAIR.

"HEY, MATE, YOU LOOK LIKE YOU COULD USE ONE OF THESE." A BOYISH VOICE SAID, HOLDING A BLUNT.

MICHAEL ALMOST SNORTED. "IM SORRY BU-" THE BOY CUT HIM OFF.

"TRUST ME." HE SAID. MICHAEL DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO DO SO HE JUST TOOK IT. HE DIDNT EVEN KNOW HOW TO SMOKE IT.

THE DARK HAIRED BOY SAW HIS CONFUSION AND LAUGHED, SITTING DOWN NEXT TO HIM. "FIRST TIMER AY?" HE SAID RUNNING HIS HAND THROUGH HIS HAIR AND HELPING MICHAEL.

MICHAEL INHALED DEEPLY WHICH WAS HIS FIRST MISTAKE. HE STARTED COUGHING WHICH MADE THE BOY NEXT TO HIM GIGGLE. "ADORABLE." HE MUTTERED SMILING. "DONT INHALE SO DEEPLY YOULL START COUGHING, WELL OBVIOUSLY, AND MAYBE FEEL A BIT LIGHTHEADED." THE BOY SAID TAKING THE BLUNT AND TAKING A DRAG AND HANDING IT BACK TO MICHAEL.

IT GOT EASIER FOR MICHAEL AND HE COULD FEEL ALL HIS WORRIES SLIP AWAY WITH THE DARK HAIRED BOY AND THIS MAGICAL BLUNT.
