"I'll call you later yeah?" Andy said hugging me outside the school gates. "Will do, after I've talked to my mom." I said, pecking his lips. He smiled and walked off in the other direction. I walked down the road on my way home. After walking for a while, I saw the boy who had aproched me on my first day and kept looking at me, was walking behind me. He quickened his pace until he was walking beside me. "Hey Sweetheart."
"What do you want" I asked shooting him a look. "I'm not gonn hurt you, I just need to talk to you about something."
"What i it?" He looked around , to see if there was anyone watching, and lowered his voice. "I've been watching you around school and I feel like I can tell you anything. You seem kind and nice, and I feel like I can trust you." I looked into his eyes. I couldent see any hint of lying or a joke in his eyes, but the again he could be an extreamly good actor. "Carry on."
"I'm like you."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm exactly like you. I love Motley Crue and Kiss, I play guitar and own 2 electric ones. I want to dye my hair black, and I love the clothes you wear. I'm what people would call different." He was looking down at the floor. I looked at him. He looked back with all the innocence of a 8 year old boy. "Really?"
"Really. I swear on my life."
"Why do you take the mick out of us then, and why do you still dress like that"
"Because If i didn't my mates would think there was something wrong with me. And also my dad want's me to become a sportsman, or something big, not like who I want to be. I want to be in a rockband. I suppose I'm here to ask for your advice. I've seen your mom drop you off in a morning, and she's normal. How do you do it? How should I do it?" He looked at me, his dark eyes full of hope. "Well just ease yourself into it, and wait for a while until you dye your hair. If your friends start calling you names and shit like that, then just come stay with me Andy and the girls. We wont mind. As for your dad, just try and get him to understand, if he dosen't, he don't know whats he's missing."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure, and if you need to talk to anyone, just come to my mates, they'll help you and take you in."
"Thank you Amber. Your amazing." He said hugging me. "No problem, whats your name anyway?"
"Jeremy but I don't like it."
"Well I tell you what,I'll think of a nickname for you. Good luck anyway." I said, turning into my street, he smiled at me, and grabbed my phone, tapping away ot the screen, he passed it me back grinning. "Theres my number, text me later yeah."
"Ok then." I said, tuning away and walking into my street. I stopped at the door. I had to face my mom. I took a deep breath, and walked inside.
