[A/N: It's like 8 am and I haven't slept for 18 hours and I don't even know why I'm writing. Anyways enjoy this.]

Monday. Michael hated that word. Ashton has gone back to his dorm. Michael put on his usual beanie and hoodie and trudged out of his house and started walking to school, he had his headphones on to block out the noises and he felt someone tap him, Michael immediately ripped out his headphones and turned around and it was just Luke "Did I scare you?" Luke asked, Michael simply ignored him and turned on his heels and started walking away from Luke "I'm sorry if I scared you." Luke apologized catching up with Michael, Luke noticed that Michael didn't shrug, nod, nor raise his eyebrows "Did I do something wrong?" Luke asked innocently and still, the pale boy ignored him "Michael, did I do something wrong?" Luke asked grabbing Michael's arm and Michael yanked his arm away and hissed at the blonde "What the hell did I do Michael?" Luke asked, Michael just scrunched his eyebrows together and ignored him "No. You're not walking away from me." Luke grabbed Michael yet again dragging him behind a diner and cornered him on the brick wall

"What did I do?" Luke asked looking down at his feet with both of his arms on either side of Michael's head, Michael's breath hitched and Luke noticed this "Oh God. I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to- I just want to know what I did wrong." Luke said softly, Michael bit his bottom lip and he pulled out his phone and started to type what he had to say and he gave his phone to Luke and Luke read it, his eyebrows furrowed "Michael, I'm not doing this so Calum can get his revenge, I just want to be your friend." Luke answered truthfully and Michael grabbed his phone and typed again and Luke read it "Yes, I swear, I promise Michael." Luke said giving back the phone and all of the sudden Michael held up his pinky "Yes Michael, pinky promise." Luke said wrapping his pinky around Michael's pinky and they walked to school together and Michael felt something he hadn't felt before.

"Luke, I saw you with that weirdo Michael today." Calum elbowed his best friend "Yeah, he's a pretty nice guy once you get to know him." Luke replied "Dude, you are hanging out with the guy who attacked me. I'm hurt." Calum faked cry "Oh get over it you baby." Luke replied "I'm telling you, he's a weird and violent kid, don't come crying to me when he scratches you." Calum said getting up from his seat "Calum." Luke wrapped his arms around his best friend's waist "You're still my best friend you drama queen." Luke said, Calum laughed "I know I am but I don't like that Michael kid. Just saying." Calum said sitting back down.

Meanwhile, Michael was doodling on his notebook and some of his classmates were throwing paper balls at him but he was used to it that is until someone thought it would be pretty funny to throw a huge ass book at him and it his him right at his nose, some of the boys close to him snickered, he wanted to scream but no sound came out of his mouth and he just saw droplets of blood on his paper and desk, he plugged his nose with his fingers and ran out of the classroom "Michael Tomlinson where are you going?" Ms. Grant caught up to him and he showed her his bloody nose "Oh my God. Come here, I'll take you to the nurse." she said and ushered the boy to the nurses office and immediately stopped the bleeding "Do you want me to call your parents or someone?" the nurse asked, Michael grabbed his pen and wrote

'Luke Hemmings' on his palm and showed it to the nurse, she nodded and handed Michael an ice pack for his nose, Michael let out a low groan and lied down on the bed holding the ice pack on his nose 'I hate my fucking life.' he thought and tears streamed down his rosy cheeks and he immediately wiped them "Where is he? What happened to him?" he heard Luke's voice and he sat up straight still holding the ice pack and Luke came in "Oh shit, what happened?" Luke asked sitting in front of Michael, Michael snatched Luke's notebook from his hands and wrote down what happened "Who did it?" Luke asked, Michael shrugged "Why would they throw a fucking book at you?" Luke mumbled, Michael's ear flicked up and he immediately dropped the ice pack and held his beanie, Michael almost felt normal but when his ear flicked he remembered he was a freak and again the tears are coming

"Don't cry. Does it hurt? I'll get you medicines." Luke said but Michael shook his head "What's wrong then?" Luke asked, concerned about the pale boy crying in front of him and he was taken by surprise when Michael immediately hugged him, Luke felt kind of awkward and he just rubbed the crying boy's back, Michael whimpered and Luke felt ecstatic because he finally heard something came out of Michael's mouth and he smiled a little and Michael just hugged him tighter, Michael never hugged someone like this other than Ashton or his parents, he relaxed when Luke kept on running his hand up and down his back "You're quite a hugger aren't you." Luke said, Michael blushed pulling away from the blonde and he hid his red cheeks behind his hands "You give great hugs." Luke said and Michael just kept on blushing.
