{Aarons POV}

What had I gotten myself into? I thought about this all night, ultimately getting only an hour of sleep. I knew school was going to be rough today.

"Hey R-Josh..." I said as I ran over to him.

"Get away from me... I'm not safe, why do you think I'm always alone?" He asks me. I look at him. He's not joking...

And then I make a mistake and say, "What's wrong with you? Why can't we be friends?" He looks down... I see a tear slide off his face.

" I don't mea-" I try to tell him.

"No," He interrupts, "I get it... no one understands me, no one understands why I'm alone... no one ever asks."

"No! I'm asking... answer me, Why are you always alone?" I ask

"Because... every ones afraid of, them..." He says as he points toward, Max and Tyler.

"What does that have to do with, YOU" I ask.

"Be friends with me, get teased. That's what people thought." He smiled at me, but then his eyes widened.

"Wh-" I started.

"Hollow Head and Nerdy Boy... wow!" Tyler smirked.

"I never would have thought, you'd go gay Aaron." Max laughed.

"He's not gay." Josh said defensively.

"Can't say the same for yourself can you?" Tyler laughed.

"He's no-" I tried

"No... he's right..." Josh said quietly, he picked up his bag and ran off. My classes were pretty much normal, all the girl sat around me asking for my number, and Josh avoided me... same old, same old. That is until Science.

"Aaron since you and Josh weren't here yesterday, you two can be in a group." Mrs. Yungsworth called. I look back at Josh, he looks down. He then stands up and walks over to Elizabeth, the prettiest girl in our class and whispers something to her. She nods her head excitedly and skips over to me.

"Josh and I switched partners so... Hey!" She says. I sigh.

"Are you okay, Aaron." She asks. That stuns me, I always thought she was just another pretty face.

"Y-yeah... just I kind of feel sorry for Ra... I mean Josh..." I say

"Huh... I always thought of you as another pretty face..." She smiles.

"Same for you!" I laugh. I hear a cry. Elizabeth hears it to, we both look over towards were Josh and Max. (Who was originally Elizabeth's partner) Josh is being strangled, his face is pale, and he is clutching his throat. He can't breath. I jump up, so does Elizabeth.

"Put him down Max." I demand.

"No!" Max laughs.

"Do and I'll kiss Aaron, ultimately putting Josh in more pain..." Elizabeth gulps. Max laughs and put Josh down. I sigh. Elizabeth turns toward me and puckers her lips, reluctantly, hoping to kiss me before Josh wakes up.

"Wait, till he wakes up!" Max smirks. We wait a while, until Josh finally sits up. We quickly kiss and Josh winces.

"Josh, It's not what you think!" I try to tell him, but he just shakes his head and runs out of the room. I just ruined the only good friendship I'd ever had... great.


Short... I know. Bye :) TTYL
