I was standing in the hallway waiting for the first bell to ring. I keep clothes at Ashton's so I can get up and go on school mornings. Basically it's my second home.
"And so my cousin was alergic to the panda's-"
"What's going on over there?" I cut him off, walking over to the students forming a circle, Ashton behind me.
"Your a nerd, honestly, no one likes you!" Josh. He was a bully, and he was picking on Vincent.
"I-"
"No, listen here Vincent, you'd be doing us all a favor if you'd just kill yourself already."
I opened my mouth about to say something to Josh, but someone beat me to it.
A tall guy stepped in between Josh and Vincent. He had red hair and a All Time Low shirt on with some black skinny jeans.
"Listen, don't you FUCKING DARE, tell ANYONE to kill themselves. If anyone, I mean anyone wants to pick on him again, I will personally cut off your tounge, and glue it to your forehead. Got it Josh?"
Josh nodded not speaking.
"Now get out of here."
Josh scurried down the hallway, some students still lingering, wanting to see their conversation after.
"Are you okay Vincent?" The guy with the red hair turned to face Vincent.
"Uhm, Yes. Thank you er- for standing up um for me, please do not hurt me." Vincent looked terrified.
"I won't hurt you. Looks are decieving." He said.
Vincent nodded then stumbled down the hall to his locker.
I walked up to the guy, Ash was throwing me daggers. I just shook my head. Like he said, looks can be decieving.
"Uhm Hi." I said to him.
"What? Do you want to bully Vincent too? Were you in the crowd laughing at him too?" He asked.
I frowned, "Acually no, I was going to step in and say something, but you beat me too it."
"Oh okay. I hate bullies. They're stupid."
"I know what it's like to be bullied." I mumbled.
"What?"
"Nothing. Anyway, I'm-"
"Keely, I know." He cut me off.
"How?"
"Your really popular, a lot of people know you."
I nodded.
"I'm Michael. Michael Clifford."
"Like Clifford the big red dog?"
"Yeah, yeah. Oh, and is that your boyfriend over their? He's like shooting me daggers." He laughed.
"No acually, that's my bestfriend. We really really close though."
I looked over to Ashton, "ASH! Come here!"
He strode over and stood next to me. He slipped his arm around my waist.
Michael chuckled, "Sure seems like your boyfriend."
Ashton blushed and dropped his arm from my waist. I laughed, "No Ash isn't my boyfriend, more like brother."
Michael nodded, "I'll see you guys at the party right?"
"How'd you know?" I asked.
"Your popular" He said before walking away.
"I like him." I said.
