"So..." Piper begins, "Was today any better than yesterday?"

I told her all about that weird red headed kid trying to touch me and making me fall. Then having to be put in a group with Carol, which was extremely embarrassing.

"Well I got to work with a real kid." I say.

She raises an eyebrow, "Was he cute?"

I shrug, "The cutest out of all of them."

"So describe this cute boy of your liking..." She says, excitingly.

"I didn't say I liked him." I tell her.

"You said he was the cutest." She argues.

"But that doesn't mean-"

"Just tell me what he looks like!"

I laugh and tried to think... after that Luke kid passed out Carol called 9-1-1 and told everyone that we're dismissed for today.

"He has brown hair... and it has a few blonde streaks in it. He's tanned and has brown eyes... Oh and he has really nice lips. And when he laughs he gets these adorable crinkles by his eyes, it's so cute."

"Sounds like you're pretty fond of him." She points out, raising her eyebrow.

I groan. She totally tricked me.

"Fine.. so I do kinda like him a lot. But what are the possibilities that he's gay." I say, "And he's kind of slut so I have no chance."

She gave me a warm smile, "Don't worry, Ash, he'd be lucky to have you as a boyfriend."

I just shrug.

I sigh, stepping out of my mums car. I really didn't want to go today, or any day. It's boring and everyone seems to have made friends by now but me. I can't help the fact that I'm extremely shy. So I walk through the doors where Michael and Calum stand, talking like they were in secret. Michaels back was turned but I could see that he was panting. Calum saw me walking and winks before looking back at Michael.

I of course blush and walk faster to the music room.

"Hello, Ashton." Carol smiles.

She's always really really really nice to me and I don't like it. Not that I don't appreciate her kindness. I sat down in the seat furthest from everyone, next to Luke. I was actually amazed that he was here since he kinda passed out yesterday. He smiles at me then looked down at his shoes.

"Is that everyone?" Carol asks.

I wanted to tell her that Michael and Calum were in the hall but I got too scared.

"Alright so today we're going be working with the same partners as yesterday. And for the rest of this week."

Skite raises his hand. Today he wore a grey beanie instead of his usual black one and a white loose T-Shirt.

"Yes, Skite."

"Why do we have groups? Shouldn't we like talk about our problems to everyone and let them help us? That's what I though we were supposed to do in a support group."

Carol smiles, fakely. I could tell she didn't really like Skite.

"Yes, but this support group is a little different. We'll do that next week. But for right now we're doing pairs."

Skite nods and moves to where Sabine sat.

"Luke and Ashton, I see your partners aren't here today." Carol states.

I feel guilty about not telling her, but it just takes too much confidence from me. Hopefully they come in soon so I don't have to feel so guilty.
