Ashton kept watching Luke, although he didn't do much, Ashton still found him ever so intriguing. he wanted to find out more about the blue eyed boy, he wanted to know why he was always on his own, why he never seemed to speak, smile, laugh, show any kinds of emotion other than empty.

Luke went home later that day walked through the door kicking off his shoes and heading straight for his room and shutting the door. Luke spent 99.9% of his time inside. whereas Ashton would constantly be out in the sun playing sport hanging around with friends he loved being out in the open. Luke hated it. people can see you, where people can see you they can judge you. that was Luke's theory anyway. but Ashton was always so positive if he smiled sure enough others found themselves smiling also his smile was contagious.

The next day Luke went through his routine finding himself sat in his seat waiting to be registered. he wouldn't say anything but they always knew Luke was in, despite hating school with a passion Luke always went he didn't want to disappoint his mother but school was Luke's biggest enemy. he tried hard but it never seemed enough. it was soon lunch and Luke sat as his table this time he had headphones in. to Luke's surprise Ashton had returned Luke pulled out one headphone and raised his eyebrows slightly at Ashton in confusion. why on earth would he sit there with him.

Others exclaimed. Ashton composed him self trying not to smile too much. he felt proud he had got Luke to speak even if it only was a couple of words "because" Ashton starts "because you're interesting" Ashton smiles Luke almost scoffs at Ashton's answer "I'm not interesting I'm a freak you shouldn't waste your time talking to me" Luke speaks his mind not really knowing where this sudden confidence came from "I want to help" Ashton says "how do you know I need it" Luke narrows his eyes at him ashton sighs "Luke" he puts his hand on top of Luke's, who snatches his am hand away "let me help you" Ashton pleaded "I don't knees help" Luke grumbles before getting up and walking away
