So today Ashton was driving me to school. He goes in earlier so this will give me perfect time to beat my mom to the door. I was in my usual black skinny jeans, my combat boots, and I had on my vans off the wall shirt. I ran out to the car to meet Ashton.
"And what is this?" He said once I sat down.
"This is uh me," I chuckled.
"Well I'm glad I'm finally seeing you." He smiled. I blushed, why do I keep blushing around Ashton, I'm gonna scream.
The drive was filled with a comfortable silence. My nerves were kicking in though in the fear of them calling my mom. Both of us went inside, I got some rude stares from girls. I guess Ashton is what they call popular in this school, he is very cute. He hugged me goodbye and I went to my first period. As soon as I opened the door.
"Miss Lena, may I speak to you?" The teacher called.
I awkwardly walked over to him.
"Yes...?"
"You are aware of the dress code? At least you were yesterday what happened?"
"I don't know. The uniform is uncomfortable and unflattering. I like this instead." The teacher just shook his head and shoo'd me off. I went back to my desk to see Michael looking at me with a large grin on his face.
"I see you followed my words." He said slouching in his seat.
"Yeah, I did." I sat down next to him.
"Are we still hanging after school?" He said.
"Of course. Do you want to just walk to the park?" I asked him.
"Sounds good." Michael ended the conversation because the bell rang.
-
So I got so many odd looks today and I got yelled at by four of the nine teachers I have in the day. Michael said if I keep doing it they'll get used to it and lay off. So I'm gonna listen to him. Although right now the day was over so I was waiting outside for Michael. That was until somebody tapped my shoulder. It was Luke?
"What are you wearing?" He asked rather rudely.
"Um what I wanna wear, why?" I said unsure of myself.
"You need to stop messing with Michael's head." He said bluntly.
"What?"
"You heard me. Stop messing with him. He just got out of a bad relationship and I swear that if you hurt him I won't hesitate to tell you to get out." Luke said.
"Woah, woah, woah. I don't like Michael that way. I just met him." I'm not even sure if I lied to myself right there.
"Believe me, Michael falls fast. I'm just warning you. Don't mess with him, he sees the way you act around Ashton and he doesn't like it. I'm not letting some girl come in and fuck my friends up, not literally." Luke said and stormed away. Okay I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel offended. I can't help it that Ashton is a flirty person and that I blush when he does stuff.
Wait. Michael likes me?
Well shit.
And as if it wasn't perfect timing.
"Juliet!" Michael ran up to me with a big smile on his face. He had the goofiest smile and I loved it. "Ready?" He asked and I just nodded. Both of us walked side by side, I'm really not looking forward to the talk that awaits.
"So...do you wanna start?" He asked nudging my arm.
"I guess. Okay so, after this you better tell me shit about you." I paused and laughed. "Alright so since I was about 4, I was always moving around just because my parents could afford it and because of that I never really made any actual friends. Who would want to be friends with me anyway? I come out to be the fakest person ever and it's all because of my mother. I can't listen to what I want. I can't wear what I want. Talk to who I want. I've had one boyfriend and it was her friends son that she picked out for me, it ended up being so horrible and that's a completely different story that I will not talk about at the moment. Otherwise my mom stays away from me. She's controlling and makes me do stuff but she never sticks around to see how it turns out. I tried running away once... I packed some things and just left. I was going to stay at my friends house at the time but my mom called and said if she found me I'd have to go to military school unless I came home at that minute. So since I knew she'd eventually find me I just went home, and that's why we moved here because she didn't like my friends. I mean there's some more stuff in there but I'm not going to get into that. Anyway if she found out im going against school policy and that I'm talking to some weirdo with blue hair she'd move me in a second."
