Warning: Harsh language (Id never say this stuff but we all know the bully that is Scarlett would)

Some different POVs in this chapter. Just seeing how people like reading it instead of just in Joe and Diannes POV for upcoming chapters.

*The next day*

AJ's POV

I woke up at 6am on the dot, jumping out of bed and stretching. I clicked my back before stretching my legs. I put on my relatively new uniform, sorting out my messy bed hair. I smiled at myself in the mirror before checking the time. 6:25am. I smiled and got the correct books for the day after checking my timetable. I put them in my bag before putting it on my shoulder.
"Youre no girly boy AJ." I whispered to myself before walking downstairs.
"Hey buttercup." My mother smiled, kissing my forehead when I walked into the kitchen. I lived alone with my mother, and while other people hated their mothers embarrassing affection, I loved it. I smiled and grabbed myself an apple, my mother explaining to me that she would be home a little later today.
"Okay mum, I guess Ill see you at dinner? Ill cook." I smiled and threw the apple core away before hugging her goodbye. She grabbed her carkeys off the kitchen table before leaving. When I heard the door slam I sighed, walking up to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I finished brushing my teeth, taking some mouthwash from the bottle and swishing it round my mouth before spitting it into the sink and turning on the tap to wash it away. I checked the time again. 7:15am. I walked back downstairs and grabbed my bag, taking the keys out my blazer pocket. I left my house, locking the door before making the long walk to school.

On the way, I heard the sound of high heels.
"Oh hey fag!" I heard someone snap. I began to speed up, but the witch herself grabbed my shoulder. "Im talking to you!" Scarlett hissed, spitting in my face. I was always taught to never hit anyone no matter what, and to always be a nice person. She grabbed my face, her claws digging into my cheek. "I suggest you hang out with the rest of the fags at school. Stay away from Joe and his friends. Theyd never like someone like you!" She smirked, her friends laughing as they pushed me into the road, causing me to fall over. I got up quickly, getting out the road before I got hit. I walked slowly behind them on the way to school.

When I got through the gates, I saw the group. I knew Scarlett had told me they would never like me, but I saw good in them all, and they were the only friends I had.
"Hey guys!" I smiled as I walked over, hoping they didnt notice the fact I had nail marks in my cheeks.
"Hey AJ!" Dianne smiled and gave me a hug before standing next to Joe.
"Sorry Im a little late, I woke up later than normal." I lied. I didnt want them to worry about me too much. After around 5 minutes of talking, the bell went, and I walked away from them and towards my tutor.

Diannes POV

When we sat down in tutor, I looked at Oli.
"AJ had nail marks in his cheek." I said, and they all went silent. "Im putting the blame on Scarlett." I added and Conor nodded.
"Most likely."
"Hes my friend, and trust me, you dont hurt my friends." I smirked and Conor high fived me. We got registered, and the bell went again. I grabbed my bag and dance kit before walking towards the gym. I walked into the changing rooms, changing quickly before running down to the gym. When I walked in I smiled brightly, seeing AJ in there stretching.
"You know how to waltz?" I asked and he turned round, smiling and nodding. We joked around, dancing around the gym before laughing with each other. The rest of the class walked in, and AJ was the only boy, however all the girls loved how he was part of our class. The teacher registered us all, before looking at AJ.
"So, what kind of dance do you know?"
"I know ballroom and latin. A few other things here and there." AJ smiled.
"Similar to Dianne here." She said before giving us all an assignment. In pairs we had to choreography a dance, any style we wanted. It was worth half our grade. Me and AJ partnered up, and we grabbed a piece of paper to write down ideas. I smiled as we decided on a Viennese Waltz, thinking of a story to tell through out the dance. Before we knew it the teacher collected up our papers and told us to go get changed. I began to change before one of Scarletts friends walked over to me.
"So youre already moving on to the new boy huh? Better make sure your little boy toy doesnt see you and the fag together." She sniggered before walking away. I clenched my fists but soon calmed down, finally getting changed.

*First Break*

I walked out of statistics with Byron and Oli, the three if us laughing as we walked into the canteen. I sat down next to Joe, smiling as I rested my head on his shoulder.
"Do I have permission to kill the Barbie Dolls?" I asked, Joe looking down at me, his grip tightening on me.
"What did they do?"
"They seem to have it in their thick minds that Im cheating on you with AJ." I snapped, AJ laughing a little.
"Youre great Dianne, truly you are, but youd be more like a sister."
"I know, youre like the cute little brother." I smiled. "And they keep calling you a fag and Im sorry but its not happening." I snapped and stood up, Joe not even trying to stop me. I knew he wouldnt. I walked over to Scarletts table and sat down, all of them looking at me.
"Still pathetic I see." Scarlett smirked.
"Still stuffing your bra I see. Sorry sweetie, at least mine are real." I smirked, resting my head on my hand. "So tell me princess, why do you hate me?"
"You too my boyfriend."
"Joe? Oh please, it wouldnt have been hard if you were dating. Some people just have it, you dont." I smirked and Joe walked over.
"Shes right." He smirked and helped me up. "Sorry Scarlett. We were never going to be a thing. I dont go for the schools sloppy seconds." He said, making everyone gasp. We walked back to our table, sitting down.
"Okay that was amazing!" AJ smiled. "I may be your classic good boy, but youre the badass couple we need." He said and I smiled.
"I guess you're right. Sometimes youve just got to be a little bad." I giggled, leaning against Joe who was rubbing circles on my hip.
"I guess we do need a good boy in the group. May keep us all a little chill." Joe chuckled, AJ smiling sweetly. He was like our little brother wasnt he?

*After school*

Joes POV

Dianne and I finally made it home, running up to my room. She sat down on my bed and I sat next to her.
"How is your side?" I asked and she sighed.
"Fine. Little painful but good." She smiled and looked up at me, laying down with her head on my lap. I played with her hair and her eyes slowly shut, soft snores coming from her sleeping form.

Wasnt she adorable?
