"Hey kid." A boy spoke, sitting next to Michael. He stayed silent, playing with his thumbs. "I know you're not mute. Saw you talking to the new girl." Yet nothing came out of Michael's mouth.

"He talking yet?" Another boy asked, sitting across from Michael and the other strange boy.

"Nah. He thinks he's got us fooled." He said, leaning close to Michael. "Don't ya?" He whispered and Michael shook his head.

"Back off, Calum. He's just a little shy." And another guy sat down. "Hi, my name's Ashton. That's Calum, and that's Luke. Cal's a little bit of a douche but you'll get used to it."

"What do you mean?" Michael said softly and Luke chuckled.

"You're part of the group." He said.

"Why me?"

"Because we know you've got drugs." Calum whispered and Michael looked at them wide eyed.

"H-How do you know that?" Michael stuttered and Ashton raised his eyebrows.

"He was just kidding.."

"Yeah, the real reason we chose you was because Ashton has a soft spot for losers and has been begging us to take you in for months. But if you have drugs thats cool too." Luke said and Michael sighed.

"You don't need to take me in, I'm not a lost puppy. I know what I'm doing and I don't need anyone. Thanks." Michael picked up his tray and walked away, but Ashton followed. Catching up to be by his side, Ashton looked at him apologetically.

"Sorry, they're rude as fuck but they don't mean it I swear." Ashton said in a pleading tone and Michael groaned.

"This isn't about you or them. I just don't need friends." He explained.

"Everyone needs a friend. Just let me try? You don't have to be friends with Cal and Luke but at least hang out with me once or twice?" Ashton begged and Michael couldn't resist. He knew this boy would know everything about him in less than a month.

"Sounds good." Michael said softly and dumped his tray before Ashton smiled widely.

"You won't regret this." He said and skipped away. What a strange boy he was.
