Part One

We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect. The judgement of the intellect is only part of the truth. ~Carl Jung

A/N: Below is a list picture of how I imagined all of the characters (Draven, Lee, Gene, Martin, and Luna are all Ashton's friends. Chyanne, Nala, Kipp and Malcom are all of Luke's friends).

Recap:

I nodded my head but I did not believe it one bit, after all, I was sure as hell that she was not "here for me" and once things turned dark she would be gone; chasing after another light.

Ashton's POV

I was sitting down in my math class, laughing with Calum and Michael when I began choking on what I saw. A boy in my class was wearing a skirt.

"That's the kid we were talking about!" Michael laughed. "He's so fucking weird, right?"

"He's actually wearing a skirt." I muttered as I looked at him. He sat down at one of the desks a couple rows down from me.

"Who the hell thinks that's okay?" Calum scoffed. "That boy is actually insane for thinking that he could get away with showing up to school dressed like that." I sat back and listened to Michael and Calum complain but said nothing.

"What do you think we should do with him, Ash?" Michael asked. I bit my lip, in all honesty I was not sure we should be bothering a kid who just started attending this school, but Michael was impatient, I knew that very well.

"We'll see him after school." I said lowly. Michael and Calum seemed to be upbeat and excited. They did whatever I said in the end, and I knew that so did all of the other boys - and girl.

There were quite a few of us; of course there was Michael, Calum and I, but there was also Martin, Lee, Gene, Draven and of course the one girl - Luna. Luna was more ruthless than I was, and she liked to prove that she was one of the guys while also proving she was just as much a lady as anyone else.

I'm sure she would be quite amused with this kid.

"Do you know what his name is?" I asked as I turned to Michael. He gave a shrug and I turned back to the blonde boy. I let out a sigh, what the hell was going on in his head for him to be courageous enough to wear.. Well.. That.

The teacher walked in and did attendance, I waited for them to say the boy's name and discovered it to be Luke, a rather generic name, there must have been at least four other Luke's just in our grade. Then of course there was the couple of Lucas kids, among other similiar names.

"Ash, come on." Michael nudged me. I stood up and walked out of the classroom, it was the last period of today and so when I saw Luna, Martin, Lee, Gene and Draven waiting outside the classroom for me. I edged on towards the blonde boy.

"What the fuck is that kid wearing?" Luna scoffed immediately. I was pretty sure he could hear what Luna said, after all, she's very loud. "Seriously, someone explain that idiot to me."

"That's what we're going to go find out for ourselves." Michael laughed lightly. "Come on, we're going to wait outside the doors for him to come in." So we walked out the front doors of the school and waited patiently for him to come out. We were greeted by a few people and when some saw us lounging on the stairs they went faster.

We were not to be messed with, I suppose.

I sat back and eventually the skirt-wearing boy walked out with an equally as bothered boy named Kipp. I cocked an eyebrow.

"Hey Kipp." I called and he froze, turning around to me. He looked between Luke and me.

"Run." He muttered and the two took off like gazelles. I let out a sigh as all of my friends launched off the steps after them. I stood up and walked to where they had got them on the ground. Martin, Draven, Gene and Lee on Kipp. Luna, Michael and Calum on Luke. Calum and Michael was holding Luke back by his arms and Luna was walking around him.

I could hear shouts from the other boy behind as I circled around and looked at Luna kicking Luke. His eyes looked up to me and I stuck my hands in the pocket of my jacket.

"Easy," I told Luna as I put a hand on her shoulder. She took a step back and I bent down and looked at the teary-eyed boy. His eyes were red around the edges but otherwise stained with bright blue. "What made you get up this morning and put a skirt on?" His eyes went wide and his face went red. "Were you stupid enough to think we wouldn't bother you?"

"I-I don't e-even know any of-of you.." Luke muttered.

"I'm Michael, how misfortunate to meet you." Michael chuckled. I rolled my eyes and sighed.

I looked Luke up and down and let out a scoff. "You're an idiot if you showed up to school and thought no one was going to bother you. How do you know Kipp? He's one of our favorites."

"I-I met him through Chyanne.." Luke mumbled.

"Oh well, we can't touch Chyanne." I shrugged. "But, we'll see you again tomorrow, Luke. Okay?" Luke nodded his head slowly. "If you wear pants, Luna might be nicer to you." I shrugged my shoulders as I stood up. "Alright! Enough!" The four boys pulled away from a hysterical Kipp and Michael and Calum dropped Luke to the ground.

"Get out of here, you too. Unless.." I gave a smile. "Unless you want to mess around with me."

Kipp got up and pulled Luke up off the ground as the two ran off. I shook my head slowly as the group around me laughed. They began to walk away when I noticed a small piece of paper on the ground where Luke was.

I picked it up and went wide eyed.

I bit down on my lip, all Luke did was dress a little differently and everyone hated him because of it. That was not at all my concern though, none of this was.
