Luke's P.O.V
The first month of school passed quickly enough, I had grown closer to Ashton and Calum, but sometimes I feel like a third wheel, well nearly all the time.
But sadly today neither had them had shown up, at lunch I was looking around to find someone to sit by when I saw Michael, now with green hair, so I wandered over.
"Hello" he barely looked up from his sketch book
"I'm Luke Hemmings, can I sit here?"
He nodded slightly
"Calum told me you don't talk, so I'll try not to nag for a conversation"
I noticed him glance at me.
I watched as he flipped to a clean page in his sketch book and begin a new drawing, but sadly he tilted the book so I couldn't see it, I pulled out my phone and scrolled through Twitter out of boredom, after around twenty minutes Michael tapped me, I looked up and he placed his sketch book in front of me, it took me a minute to form the words, he had drawn me, but it didn't look like a drawing
"You seriously just done that?" I asked shocked
He nodded
"That's amazing"
He lowered his head
I was about to say something when the bell rang
"I see you later, Michael"
He nodded and began to pack up
Michael's P.O.V
I slowly packed up and made my way to class.
For the first time in ages somebody other than my foster sister had made an effort to talk to me, I dragged myself into English and simply laid my head on the table, already bored, I pulled my phone out and his it in my text book
To: Hawkey
Hey, entertain me, English bores me

I rolled my eyes and locked my phone, returning it to my pocket, I laid my head on the table and slowly fell asleep.
I woke up to the bell ringing, and packed up and headed out
"Mr Clifford? Can you come here?" my teacher asked
I nodded and headed towards him
"So Michael, you're failing, no surprise considering you sleep in my lessons"
I looked at my feet sheepishly
"So I don't want you to fail, so I'm getting you a tutor, okay?"
I nodded
"You'll meet him in the library tomorrow at four"
I nodded
"Bye Michael" he smiled
I waved and headed out, great tutoring, last time they done this, he just got annoyed and stormed out on me.
