Avery's Point Of View

Oh steaks, why didn't I bought tampons the other day? I grab my phone, texting Jordan to help me out. After a while, there was a knock on the door.

I run down, my knee hitting things.

Yes, I am that clumsy.

I open the door, "Eugene?" I raise my eyebrows. "Got your tampons." He pass it to me, "oh.. Thanks."

Oh god, this is embarrassing. But kinda of sweet.

Oh steaks, Jordan.

He steps in and I close the door. "Give me a second." I run up to the bathroom.

;

"I am so-"

"Don't apologize, Avery." Eugene cuts me off. I like when he says my name, he makes it sound special. People usually call me by my first name.

Now it's just awkward silence.

"You played really good just now." I say, he looks around my room.

"You listen to Bon Jovi?" He saw one of my CDs, "erh yeah. I love him." I say.

"Black Veil Brides. Avenged Sevenfold? You're one interesting lady." He go through my collection. He then sat down beside me, "didn't know you're into Marvel..." He noticed my HawkEye poster on the wall.

"Uh yeah, me and my brother love reading Black Widow and HawkEye comics." I say, "wow Avery, I think I am in love with you."

"What?" I muttered, "uh nothing. Do you want to tell me why?" He asks, grabbing my hand.

I shook my head, "Avery." He leans in a little, I turn to him then he kisses my lips.

I think that was an accident.

I like accidental kisses.

"Tell me, I want to help you." He says. "And fix you." He mumbles.

If i told you, i hope you won't see the way i see myself.

Eugene is different. I don't see why people call him a jerk. He's sweet, kind and a very good kisser.

"Erm, my body isn't exactly nice." I started off. "Not the type of girl that boys fall for because I am ugly and weird." I say.

"Erm, boobs aren't big enough." I say, biting down my lips. "Thighs are too big, but then sometimes too small." I say, it sounds ridiculous.

"Ugly. I sweat a lot but I can't help it, the weather is just too hot." I say, Eugene nods slightly as in he understands.

"And I guess that's it. Boys like Isaac who like to stare at my ass is disgusting. There will be like written stuffs on my textbooks because of the boys 'flirting' with me. The girls hate me and Chloe, I don't really know why. I don't really talk to her."

"And then there's my family. I have two older brothers, they're in the military for a few years now. I haven't seen them in like about 4 years now. My Mum left our family when I was 3 so I don't know much about that. My Dad works out in the noon all the way to the next morning." I say.

"There's nothing wrong about my family. Just that my relatives are really mean about my weight and my face." I say, "then they will laugh. I will just smile like I am okay with it. I gotta stop talking because I am just going to say everything out."

I look at him, "no, no, no. It's okay. Well although you didn't tell me what's wrong but I think I understand." He says.

"You're fucking beautiful." I stare at him, "I am not joking." He chuckles. "Again, you're different. I love different and you." 

"Okay, Avery. Do you have a best friend?" He asks, crossing his legs. " Lydia." I replied, muttering. "Okay then, I will be your best friend." 

; Next Morning 

"So did he asked you out?" Jordan asks, smiling widely. "No.." I replied, taking out my book. "Aw man." Jordan's bottom lip jutted out a little.

"Hunter and Walter are fighting!" Zach shouted, running past us. "Come on." Jordan grabs my hand, reacting quickly. 

Isaac is on top of Eugene. This is bad. 

"Hey, stop!" Chloe shouted, with care. I think that it was care. 

Zach pulls Isaac up, Eugene quickly got up. He lunges forward and I quickly grab him arm tightly. His nose is bleeding badly, so is his knuckles. 

Eugene look at her, slowly calming him down even though Avery wasn't doing anything at all. 

"What's going out here?" The principal steps in to the circle, with her bag. "Mr Hunter, Mr Walter, Ms Johnson and Ms Evans, my office." 

; 

Chloe is twisting the story all around while the two boys are in the nurse office. "So Eugene is your boyfriend?" Miss Rose turn to me, I shook my head in response. 

"Erm, I didn't do anything. When I arrived at the scene, they were already fighting." I say, then Eugene and Isaac walks in. They sat at the opposite sides, obviously not happy with each other. 

"Mr Hunter, you will have detention after school for two hours. And Mr Walter, you're suspended from school." 

"What?!" Isaac immediately stood up, "how can I be suspended?!" He asks. "Avery, Chloe, Eugene. You three may leave now." We all left for class, it's math and i won't see Eugene till literature which is the last lesson. 

;

"Mr Hunter, please sit up straight." Our literature teacher say to Eugene who's head is on the table, sleeping. He looks adorable. 

How boys still look so good when their hair is so messed up? 

"And Ms Evans, stop staring at Mr Hunter." Miss Collins say, making the whole class laugh at me. My cheeks was burning, with embarrassment. 

"Okay, I want Eugene to read a poem." She says, standing behind her desk. Eugene let out a soft sigh and stood up. 

"Love. It's used to express feelings, emotions, thoughts. It's shown through care, family, hugs, kisses and sentences." He licks his dry lips. 

"To another person, it's said so simply I Love You." Girls cooed, putting their hands over their heart when he said that. 

"But how many people actually mean it to another people? How many people are able to fall in love with someone's insecurities, obsessions, this clinginess and problems, and the need to be loved and appreciated?" 

"Because that's what people end up loving about someone. And if people can't love these things about someone, 'love' should not be the word used." Eugene then took his seat, "that was actually pretty good. Whoever your girlfriend is, is very lucky." Miss Collins say.

Ed smirks, turning his head to look at me. "What?" I mouth, "love." He mouths back.
