When You Love Someone

•Chapter one

Robyn's POV
my alarm went off at 6:30, great school. for the next three years of my life i had to be trapped in hell for most of my day. i was a fish in a school full of sharks. i decided to make a bit of an effort as it was my first day so i got in the shower and dressed into some mum jeans with a black soft woollen jumper half tucked in to them. i put on a bit of makeup and straightened my hair, half decent i thought as i looked at myself in the mirror. i walked down stairs and into the kitchen where i saw my mum, my dad and my baby sister. my dad and i never really got along, we were just so different. sometimes i ask myself if i'm actually related to him or am i a consequence of an affair. i sat down on the seat next to Harmony's high chair and wiped her mouth with a tissue.
"what are you wearing? why aren't you dressing nice, it's your first day at school for god's sake!" my dad almost screamed at me, i knew this would happen.
"good morning to you to" i said sarcastically as my mum passed me a smoothie and a fruit salad.
"it's not my fault you look ridiculous. that jumper is too long and why are the jeans so ripped, baggy and cuffed?" he snarled as i started to eat. i rolled my eyes and was about to open my mouth to say something when he turned away.
"i don't want to hear it" he said as he walked upstairs, i looked over to my mum for a hint of comfort. nothing, i knew she loved me but i didn't understand why she didn't show it sometimes.
"i'm leaving early" i said as i picked up my bag and gave Harmony a quick hug. i walked out the house and headed towards the bus stop. the bus was late, as per usual. even though i left early i only arrived 15 minutes before first lesson started, i took a deep breath and somehow found my locker. i immediately saw them, the people who everyone wanted to be or wanted to get with. there was a girl wearing all designer, a bit tacky to be honest, a boy he was part of the football team enough said and finally the most beautiful girl i've ever seen. she had black ripped jeans on paired with a cropped thrasher jumper and a Chanel backpack. i realised i was staring when when the tacky looking girl halted right back at me.
"creep alert" she said to the boy, he looked my up and down just before i hid my face in my locker.
"Jasmine i don't think think she is a creep i mean she doesn't look like she has the guts" He said loudly so i would hear, Jasmine was her name then. i prefer the tacky looking girl but whatever.
"Jason she was checking out your bloody girlfriend for goodness sakes!" Jasmine exclaimed, she talks with her hands a lot.
"she wasn't so just shut up guys" the beautiful girl said, why was she defending me? she knew i was checking her out but so was she i think. Jason wrapped her arms around the girl and kissed her on the forehead.
" Ashely baby you are too kind" Jason said he grabbed her hand and the group walked towards class. i couldn't keep my eyes off of Ashely, as soon as she had walked out of sight i realised the time and grabbed my books out of my locker and ran to math class.

later that day i was siting in science listening to the teacher drone on about photosynthesis, i had learnt this stuff in year seven i don't understand why we were redoing it. i guess this was a new school and they have learnt other things. i sighed and carried on doing my work. that lesson droned on for what felt like hours and during that time i couldn't stop thinking about Ashely. i got a notification on my apple watch and saw it was a message from my childhood best friend. we had lived next door to each other until we were ten when i moved away. six years later we moved back and into a house a couple streets down from her. i remembered that we were planning on meeting up after school.
Lilith♥️:
Heyyyyy how's school? i'm so sad you ended up going to the other school instead of mine :(.    so my house 4 o'clock just walk right in like the good old days! x
Me:
oki lils i will be there, i need to go now i'm in class. luv ya bye x
Lilith♥️:
luv ya too x

i walked out of science class when i felt a tap on my shoulder, i turned around and saw it was Ashely.
"so your good at science?" she asked, i slowly nodded my head. why was she talking to me? also why did she look so damn beautiful?
"can you tutor me? if i want to get into a good school i need good grades and i'm only failing science. so you in?" she asked slightly rudely. i nodded my head again and she smiled quickly before hiding it.
"okay so no one can know about this, here's my number. don't talk to me in school unless i talk to you okay?" she handed me a piece of paper and walked off. i stood there unable to move, what just happened?

Ashley's POV
i was sitting in science when i got my test back, a c minus. great i was failing. my eyes wondered around the class room when i saw the new girl tapping at her watch. she was so beautiful, i felt so bad about what the Jasmine and Jason said earlier. of course i didn't believe what they were saying but i knew that if i stuck up for her directly i would get teased. i remember what i said... "shut up guys she wasn't". so much for a good first impression, i sighed and carried on looking at her ignoring Mrs Bradly. i was just going to keep failing if the new girl kept distracting me, i sighed again directed my attention to the teacher. she said anyone with a grade lower that a B must get a tutor, great now one of the nerds will have to be around me. i could feel the eager eyes of the nerds in the class room, sometimes they got on my nerves so much. i sound rude but it is quite annoying when they try so hard to impress me, some people might think it's sweet but they only want to know me cause i'm popular. i hate being popular, no one cares about me just my status. they don't care if i'm having a bad day it's all about what i'm wearing so they can copy it. that's when it hit me, i could ask new girl to tutor me. i just needed to find out her name before so i didn't seem too rude. i put my hand up and Mrs Bradley walked over to me.
"yes Ashely" she said as she arrived at my desk.
"i just wanted to know some names of people who could tutor me" i said innocently.
"well there is the new girl, her name is Robyn and i saw her report from her last school. all A pluses. i would ask her" she said before walking to help another student. perfect i thought, this was going exactly as planned.

after the lesson i tapped Robyn in the shoulder, she turned around. how was she that beautiful? i know i have a boyfriend but i can't help crushing on her a bit. i've know i'm Bi for a while now, just no one knows. i decided to act a bit rude just in case anyone was over hearing our conversation.
"so your good at science?" i managed to say, she nodded her head slowly obviously confused. i took a subtle breath and re gained my confidence.
"can you tutor me? if i want to get into a good school i need good grades and i'm only failing science. so you in?" i asked kind of rudely, she nodded her head enthusiastically and i smiled a bit before hiding it. i had to act the part, another reason i hated being popular. my life was one big play and i'm the star.
"okay so no one can know about this, here's my number. don't talk to me in school unless i talk to you okay?" i said before handing her my number and walking away. i think i handled that well? i met up with Jason and Jasmine and we walked to our next class.
