An Angel A Demon

Andy's POV

I followed Ashley through this giant-ass school for a good 10 minutes. I hope we aren't late. Winding halls, crowded stairwells, stuffed hallways, I was beyond lost at this point and if Ashley wasn't there, I would be having an anxiety attack too.

“Here we are, science.” Ashley presented was we walked into the classroom.

I pulled out my schedule and made sure that he wasn't lying, I still don't fully trust him. But from past experiences, I've learned to check the room number, and class before I get to far from the door.

He was right thankfully, so far he`s been a very nice person and not made fun of me, so far so good. Let`s see how long it takes for him to take off that mask and be my worst nightmare.

When the bell rang an old fat, white haired, short teacher came in and told us all to find a partner to sit by. The tables were arranged so it was 2 to a table. To my surprise Ashley sat down and waved for ME to sit down next to him.

This guy is so perfect it`s kinda killing my inner fangirl from fangirling so hard. WHY IS HE SO PERFECT!? I barely paid any attention to the teacher during the lesson or whatever the hell she was doing. I was too busy looking at this perfect human next to me and writing lyrics.

When the bell finally rang Ashley turned to me and informed me that we had 2nd & 3rd period off and then 4th period was lunch. Hell Yeah!!

“Hey Andy, if you want we can go to my house and get to know each other, I promise I won't hurt you or anything like that. I can make lunch at my house and then I`ll drive us back a few minutes before 5th period starts.” Ashley said reassuringly.

“How far do you live from here?” I questioned turning to look in his eyes.

“About a 15 minute drive.”

“Um, sure I guess?” I said curiously. It looks like ill be at this school a while, might as well make friends.

“Great!” Ashley said practically jumping up in excitement.”To The Over Crowded Halls Away!” Ashley shouted grabbing my wrist making me flinch a little in pain.

When we got to the student parking lot Ashley explained to me that he can drive because he got his licence over the summer and got an awesome car. And let me tell you something, he wasn't joking about a nice car!! It was pure black Dodge Challenger STR8 with dark tinted windows, and red leather interior. Holy Shit, that`s a nice car.

Ashley hopped into the driver`s seat and as I got down into the passenger's side he put the key in bringing the car life making it roar to life. Almost as soon as I Buckle up and shut the door he pulled out of the parking lot roaring down the road.

“Hey Andy, can I ask you something?” Ashley said calmly keeping his eyes on the road ahead of us.

“Um sure.” I said quietly looking up at him through my fringe.

“How many schools have you been through in 2 years?” He said looking in my direction as we hit a red light.

“To be honest I lost count after 10…” I said quietly looking out the window at all the shops and stores we were passing.

“Is it because you're gay?” Ashley said looking straight ahead with a sad expression covering his face.

“How did, how did you know?” I said absolutely shocked and my heart starting to beat faster.

“Because how you stared at me. I went through the same thing for a while, the bullying, beating, attacks, name calling. I honestly don't know why people as such assholes about it. I've been through 15 schools due to my sexuallity. Personally after the 4th school I didn't tell anyone, I stopped telling because I was scared. Scared that I would be killed over it. But it gets easier, life won't put you through something you can't handle.” Ashley said sadly.

I was taken back by everything he just said to me, all these feeling washing over me, regret, sadness, embarrassment, shame, everything. I'm so weak I didn't even try to hold back the tears from flowing. I just looked down at lap and silently cried. Ashley must have noticed because he grabbed my hand and squeezed reassuringly.

“Andy I know we just met not even an hour ago and I've already trudged on broken ground, but I want to be your friend. Being through so many schools and so many fights is hard and I want to help you be happier. You might think that this school will be like all the others but it isn't.” Ashley was crying by the end making me feel horrible because he went through the same thing as me. But I'm so scared that it`s all just an act so that though just makes me cry harder.

Notes

Is Ashley truly as he sames? Or is he going to be Andy`s worst nightmare?

I AM SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING YESTERDAY!! Shit happened, let`s just leave it as that. But I am tying as fast as I can so I can put out another chapter later tonight.
