Broken is Beautiful-Sterek

Derek's POV:

It's been a month since starting school and to be honest, everything is going smoothly. I've become really good friends with Isacc, Boyd and Erica. I even asked them about the school pretty bad boy and they told me his name was Stiles, what kind of name is that?? Huh, I guess it does suit him, I mean it's unique and nothing like I was expecting kind of like him. I never expected to meet someone like him, I mean he seems to fit the part people put him in although from our rare interactions I can see that he doesn't belong as the bad boy character he's forced to play.

Because of being homeschooled my whole life by my smart parents, I'm ahead of everyone in my year. I keep seeing Stiles around the place and can't help but notice how he's constantly giving his books looks that could kill, he only really seems at peace when he's completely engulfed in his drawings, I wish I could see what he was drawing because honestly, I can barely take my eyes off of him when he's around. My friends seemed to have noticed and keep telling me although he's meant to be bad news they've never actually seen him do anything bad and on the rare occasions, they have classes with him he often gives people his stationary to borrow and does small but sweet things.

My friend's said if I wanted they would also try to be his friend if it meant I would get the chance to be around him, I don't think I managed to keep my crush a secret from them for more than a few days haha honestly scared that they're just going to go up and tell him to ask me out with no option because they think although he's the schools, bad boy, he and I would look cute together.

It's Thursday today and Erica has and idea to go to his usual corner in the library and ask him to hang out with us. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't petrified but, to be honest, I just love to hear the sound of his voice, it's like a soft sweet melody so inviting I just can't help want to hear it.

We all gather together and head towards his corner which everyone else tries to avoid but we're going to on purpose. He must have heard our footsteps over his music because he quickly took out his earphones and pocketed them before facing us. It's obvious he's trying to intimidate us however we hold our ground and refuse the smackdown. Isaac was the first to speak but the poor kid got nervous and retreated behind Boyd and I, so Erica decided that she would take a chance "Heyyy, so my friends and I were wondering if you wanted to hang out with us?". That wasn't what he was expecting because his face crumbled from an intimidating glare to a curious doe-eyed gaze but after a minute that disappeared as well and he just looked away before saying as monotone as he could manage "Whatever dare you've all been put up to I don't care, just tell whoever you did what they wanted and go get whatever your prize is". 

We were all a bit taken back by this, I mean the thought someone would only talk to you because they were dared to is just wrong. Does he have anyone? Like the way he acts you'd think his parents don't even talk to him since his voice is so soft as if he rarely speaks. "No, we weren't dared to do anything, we just wanted to ask if you wanted to be our friend and maybe chill with us sometime?", I stare at Boyd in shock not expecting him to have said anything since he barely talks before glancing back at Stiles to see his bewildered expression of confusion and curiosity.

"Like I've told Derek before, you don't want to know me people will talk", he says nonchalantly 

"You remember my name?" I almost whisper, as he just rolls his eyes and says calmly "Why wouldn't I? You were the last person I talked to".

"Wait! so you haven't spoken to anyone in a month???" Great my mouth spoke before I could even think. At that, he just tilts his head a little looking at the ceiling before giving a small nod and whispering "Yeah, yeah it's been a month" and chuckling a bit.

We all look at him dumbfounded and he seems to have noticed, so at that, he gathers his stuff and simply says "No one talks to me and I talk to no one. If you don't want rumours flying around you I suggest that you don't talk to me again" he takes a few steps away before gazing over his shoulder at us and saying "People love to create false gossip and trust me it never stops...it'll get to you eventually", then he let out a broken lengthy sigh before walking away leaving us all to stare at the space he once was.

"Well that didn't go as planned...", Erica said with her eyebrows knotted together in confusion, before staring at me "You were the last person he spoke to and-and that was a month ago?? How has he went that long without speaking?". I simply just nod as we all stand in silence, that is before Boyd says "He doesn't seem like he's a drug dealer or murderer... or anything everyone says about him, he-he actually seems kind of considerate..." and we all just agree before starting at the door he retreated from a few moments ago.

The next day/ Friday

Stiles POV:

SO yesterday was weird, wonder if today will be normal or if the group of semi-popular pretty people will come back and talk to me again. It's like they don't care that rumour will start to surface around them, I've only been inside the school building for 10 minutes and I've already heard rumours that make me either want to remove my eyes with an ice cream scoop or die from laughter on the floor. My favourites are:

I paid them to talk to me

I learnt black magic and made them my servants 

They tried to buy drugs from me

And who can leave out the best...

They all wanted to fight me but I won and beat them all up inside the library.

I mean who would even get away with that! The library is riddled with cameras and I wouldn't be able to get out of trouble luckily the librarian heard everything and told the headmaster that we were just talking. The librarian is a nice lady probably in her 50s her names Ruth she always offers me books to read that she thinks ill enjoy and it's nice, it keeps me occupied.

Anyway, let's get today started...
