"I'm his pass. I'm new here and he was showing me around." Luke brought Ashton's hand to his lips and gave him a kiss. "See you after class babe." He left, leaving Ashton to face the class in embarrassment.

Ashton fiddled with his flower crown and gave a nervous wave to the class.

-

Micheal: Who was that? I didnt know u had a bf :O

Ashton: i dont! hes not my bf, i hardly know him :/

Ashton was texting his friends, Michael and Calum. He was still weirded out by that new kid. I mean, who does that even? Blunt asshole.

Calum: what did u do?

Ashton: told him i was taken but he didnt believe me. he wants me to wait for him after class

Calum: r u gunna?

Ashton: lol no

Michael: y not?

Ashton gave him a look and Michael made a face back at him. Calum made a face too, making Ashton laugh out loud. People looked at him again and he hid his face.

Ashton: i'm not going too, he kinda scares me

Calum: lol Ashton's a scared cat

Ashton: am not!

Michael: Then wait for him!

Ashton: do u guys WANT me to get date raped?

Calum: kinda

Ashton: -.- ur not invited to my birthday party anymore

Calum: ur bday was two months ago

Ashton: it was? fuck!

Michael: ill stay after with u ok?

Ashton: ugh ok fine. But make sure u do!

After class Ashton scanned the room for Michael. He saw him heading out the door with Calum. He waved as Ashton gaped at him.

Ashton: u dick!!! wth?!

Michael: sorry, i forgot

"There's my cutie!" Ashton looked up and saw Luke smiling down at him.

"Ready for lunch baby?" Luke grabbed Ashton's hand and led him out into the halls.

"Um, yeah, but I can walk there myself." Ashton grabbed his hand back.

"Maybe, but I like holding your hand." Luke said. "Don't you like holding mine?"

"Hey wait a minute, you don't have lunch this hour!" Ashton said. "You need to get to class!"

"Why? We only have homeroom together and I want to see you." Luke pouted.

"You're gunna be late!" Ashton tried shoving Luke but the boy hardly moved. "Just go! I'll see you tomorrow!"

"Promise?" Luke asked and Ashton sighed. "Yeah yeah, just go."

Luke smiled. "It's so sweet how you care if I'm late."

Ashton rolled his eyes. "Seriously, leave."

The bell rang.

"Alright, later babe." Luke bent down and kissed Ashton's cheek before heading to class.

-

Ashton sat in his seat in homeroom the next day, totally freaking out.

He had never been kissed by a guy before.

And then, that guy walked in.

Luke smiled at Ashton and Ashton blushed, looking at his desk while Luke took his seat behind him.

Halfway into the lesson, a note flew over Ashton's head and landed on his paper.

The flower child turned and glared at Luke.

Open it! Luke mouthed, pointing to it.

Ashton shook his head and stuffed the note in his pocket.

Two more came sailing over.

Ashton ignored them and put them in his pocket.

After the lesson he bolted out the door, running away from the guy that made his heart race unexplainably.

-

From then on, Luke passed notes to Ashton everyday. Sometimes just one, other times, Ashton could feel his pockets being weighed down from all the paper he was carrying.

He never opened them. Why should he? Luke was an arrogant womanizer and jock. He didn't care about Ashton, just wanted to get in his pants.

The last day of school.

247 notes.

The bell rang. Luke jumped up before Ashton could, blocking the door after all the other students had left in a frenzy for summer.

"Luke." Ashton sighed. "Please move."

"No. Not until you read the notes." Luke shook his head. "I know you carry them all in your pencil bag."

Ashton blushed. "They wouldn't fit in my pockets anymore."

"Just read them! Then I promise I'll leave you alone." Luke smiled.

Ashton sighed. "Fine." He sat on the floor in front of Luke and dumped the notes onto the ground.

He picked one up and unfolded it.

"Dear Ashton, I spend everyday thinking about you. I'd change for you. Please notice me."

Ashton looked up at Luke. Luke motioned for him to keep going.

Ashton picked up another and unfolded it.

It was a picture of him and Luke at the altar, getting married.

Ashton grabbed another, not bothering to look at Luke this time.

Dear Ashton, you may hate me for kissing you that one day. I know I do. I should have done it properly. Please give me a second chance to kiss you right.

Dear Ashton, you're my most favorite person on the planet. Marry me?

Dear Ashton, I can imagine us together and it hurts. I know I can make you happy if you would give me a chance.

Dear Ashton, will you go out with me? No wait, let me ask you this in person!

Another drawing. It was a very detailed drawing of Ashton and Luke, looking happy together on a roller coaster. Ashton was holding onto Luke in fear, while Luke held him back, looking like the happiest man alive.

The next note was Luke's phone number.

Dear Ashton, please notice me. I think I love you. That last line had been crossed out and rewritten many times and finally, erased. But Ashton could see it still faintly.

Dear Ashton, I'd change my lip ring in for a flower crown.

Ashton looked up at Luke.

"Really? You mean all this?" Ashton asked, eyes wide.

Luke nodded and sat beside him. "Every note."

"Wow." Ashton shifted through the pile of notes.

"Yeah." Luke stood up. "Well bye."

"Wait, what, where are you going?" Ashton asked.

"I told you I would leave you alone if you read them. So...bye." Luke walked out the door.

"Wait!" Ashton called, his flower crown falling off as he jumped up.

"Yeah?" Luke asked, coming back.

"What if I don't want you to leave me alone?" Ashton whispered.

Luke smiled. "You have my number. Have a great summer cutie." He winked and walked out, leaving Ashton to sort through the pile, frantically looking for the note that had Luke's number.
