~Emily~

You walk up to the school, approaching the jocks who were tormenting Tyler.
You hung out with Tyler sometimes. He's an actual alright kid. Well apart from his tape. It's a bit weird that he'd do that, but everyone has a different side to them. He had a crush on a girl and decided to take pictures. It was totally innocent. No one was meant to find out. Or find the pictures. But secrets have a way of getting out. Apparently this was one of them. Poor Tyler. He's really sweet and is actually really nice. Nice to talk to. Fun to be with. He's a really good friend. I don't know why he's disliked by so many people. Even before Hannah killed herself and the tapes got out, people hated him. I've never understood why.

"Monty leave him alone. Don't you think he's had enough of your crap?" You snap at your brother.
"Sorry sis. Didn't know you had feelings for this creep." He snaps back.
"You know. If you actually got to know people instead of just judging them by how they look, you might have more friends that are actually... How do you put it? Decent and kind hearted." You say back with a sly smile playing on your lips.
"C'mon Tyler. Let's leave these douches be." You say grabbing hold of Tyler's sleeve and dragging him into the school.
"Erm thanks for that. You know. Sticking up for me. No one's ever done that before. Well apart from my mate Cyrus." Tyler spoke.
"Oh don't worry about it. I'm just sick of my brother treating you like shit. I'm especially sick of him hanging out with that rapist." You hiss the last part.
"Hey, you wanna hang out with me and my mates?" Tyler asks you. "We usually skip first and second because it's just lecture hall so we usually just hang out at the library."
"Oh yeah. Sure. Your friends won't mind though will they?" You ask him nervously.
"Oh no don't worry about it. You're as much as an outcast than the rest of us anyway." He laughs slightly.
You shrug. "I guess that's true." You laugh.
"You wear darker clothes than them. Not to mention the eyeliner." He laughs.
"And the tattoo of the three stars behind my ear. Me and Tony got matching ones. We're rebels." You laugh making Tyler laugh also.
"And the nose ring. You can't forget about the nose ring. As well as your ear piercings." He reminds you.
"Yeah, yeah stop listing my outcasty-ness." You say both of you laughing.

The bell rings.

"Let's head to the library. They'll be there by now." Tyler tells you.

You both head to the library.

Tyler sits next to Cyrus, leaving a seat between him and Mackenzie. He signals you to sit down.

Mackenzie gives you a smile, as Cyrus gives Tyler a confused questioning look.

"Guys this is Emily. She's sick of this school and the people in it. She also stood up for me earlier. The jocks were tormenting me again." Tyler explained.
"Ah ok." Cyrus nodded in understanding.
"So you're an outcast as well then?" Cyrus asks.
"Er. Well. Kinda. Like I have other friends, Holly Walker, Stephany Johnson, Adam Coss and Bailey Smith. I don't really get along with anyone else but them and Tyler." You tell him. "People don't really like the way I dress. They don't like my appearance. They also don't like my opinions on this school. They also don't like the fact that I don't give a shit and if anyone did anything to me, they know I'd actually put up a fight." I tell him.
He slowly nods. "She's in." He smiles.
I look at Tyler confused.
"Your in the outcast society now. A little club. The asshole club."

(A/N I'm so sorry but I kinda forgot what the little club thing is actually called and I don't have internet whilst writing this, so I also cudnt Google it... I will try edit this though...)

"Oh cool." I laugh.
Cyrus, Mackenzie and the rest of their mates smile at me and introduce themselves.

We talk for a while and get to know each other better.

"Hey Emily. Would you like to come to mine and Cy's for dinner tonight? You could stay the night if you'd like. Seen as it's not school tomorrow." Kenzie asks me.
"Yeah that'd be great. Tyler's coming as well." Cyrus says.
"Oh yeah sure. If it's okay with your parents. Me and my brother kinda got kicked out of our house yesterday and our dad won't want us back for a while anyways so I need somewhere to stay." I laugh.
"Your dad kicked you out?" Kenzie asked.
"Oh yeah. Don't worry about it thought it's fine. It happens quite a lot recently... I think it's because we lost our mum. He hasn't been the same since. Seriously though don't worry about it." I tell her.
"And what about your brother. He'll need somewhere to stay won't he?" Cyrus asks.
"Oh he's staying at one of his mates houses." I tell them.
He nods. "Well that's settled then. You're staying at ours. Me, you, Kenzie and Tyler." Cyrus spoke.
"Won't your parents mind?" I ask.
"Dad won't. He's cool." Kenzie tells me.
I nod my head.

The bell rings, signaling it was time for third period.

"Guys meet me and Cy outside at the front of the school at the end of the day." Kenzie says. "Here's my number." She says passing me a small sheet of paper.
"Thanks." I say taking it of her.

I like Cyrus. He's cute. And he seems really nice as well. He seems genuine.
