Ashton POV

I came out of the class as the first set of my lectures was over. And lunch time was about to start. I went near my locker and kept my books in. Grabbing the money I had, I ran towards the cafeteria where my only friend Grace was waiting for me. She is my support system and the only one to know about my sexuality, apart from my family of course. As I reached there I saw Grace wave me down and the both of us went in the Cafe to have some delicious tacos for lunch. I paid for my tacos and the both of us sat on the table to have our food in peace. As I was busy eating, grace called me,

"Hey! Ash... That guy is staring at you with rage..."

Without turning around I replied to Grace,

"It must be Brent. He was trying to bully me in the morning. Saying stuff like I'm a girl who dresses like guys to stay safe..."

She gave me look of bewilderment and sighed while leaving a string of laugh ringing in my ears. Both of were too focused on laughing that I didn't noticed someone sitting beside me. The person took off my hood and I whipped my head at them.

"Hey there Gray,"

Chase Butcher, my head replied to me. I gave him a small smile and offered him a taco.

"Hi Chase. You want a taco?"

He shook his head as no and spoke,

"Brent might try to bully you again. And if he does–"

I cut him off and whisper yelled,

"I will kick him in the nutsack... Don't worry!"

He was a bit taken aback but ended up giving me a small smile back. Then he spoke again,

"Ah- well great. But still give me your number, I want to make sure that he doesn't do anything to... You..."

He looked a bit shy. Scratching his neck while speaking. Why is doing that? Me being an idiot didn't quite get it. Grace fished my phone out of my bag and handed it to Chase.

"Here put your number in this. It is Ashton's phone... He'll call you if he gets into any trouble..."

Grace give me a smirk and a side wink. Then I blushed understanding the situation. A guy is asking for my number. A guy! I saw him put his number in my phone and return it back to me. I quickly saved his number as 'Chase' and gave his phone a missed call,

"That's my number. You should save it too..."

He nodded taking out his phone and saving my number under the name 'Gray'.
He then got up and put my hood back over my head patting it after he was done,

"Well then I'll see you around then. Bye Gray, take care..."

"Y-you too..."

I replied in a small voice, blushing like hell. I heard Grace let out a loud breath and slump into her chair. I tilted my head at her and furrowed my brows,

"What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing... He's just so... Breathtakingly handsome man... I just can't look away from his godly face. Damn you Ashton, you always have handsome guys run behind you, while I get stale over here like a potato..."

I chuckled at her words and the both of us left the cafeteria. Then I went to my locker to take out my gym clothes. Because it was a gym class. Yay! My least favorite class of all. I took the clothes and took off my jacket and placed it in my locker. Picking up a hair tie, I ran to the boys changing room. As I entered in all the eyes were set on me. It was the entire football team. They were eyeing me up and down. I know why, they must be thinking. He looks like a girl, hey look! It's a girl in the boys room. Blah blah blah. I ignored their talks and went in a stall to get changed. Wearing the white and blue uniform I came out. I went near my gym locker to keep my normal clothes back.

As I was doing it, I was shoved into another locker near me. It was the guy who was saying that I am a girl. He came near me and tried to lift my shirt up. While in retaliation I shoved his sorry ass away from me. He fell on the ground with a loud thud. And groaned in pain,

"You fucking bitch! I'll–"

Before he could say anything a kick was landed in his stomach. He cried out in pain as the person began to beat the shit out of him. The person was none other than Chase Butcher. Why is he saving me so much today? He leaned over the guy he beat the shit out of and said,

"There is thing called as personal space. Don't you understand it? And for your information, his name is Ashton Gray and he is a guy. Just because he has long hair and a very feminine appearance, doesn't mean you can violate him however you want..."

The guy who was groaning in pain nodded his head and mumbled to me,

"I-I am s-sorry Ashton..."

Chase dropped his sorry ass away and came near me. He took the hair tie from my hand and pulled my hair up tying it in a small pony. I was looking like a toddler for sure now! He gave me a small smile and whispered,

"You did great... Now wait for me here. I'll go and get changed quickly..."

"Okay..."

I said and he dashed to his locker and fished out his clothes. He then ran towards the stall and came out in a minute. I went near the exit and both of us ran out to the field to do the laps like the other students. Being with Chase feels nice somehow...
