freak ofthe school

This story is about two boys: Luca (you) and Liam (your love interest). Liam was one of the most popular students in school, but after being away for a few weeks, he returned to find that there was a new student. "Who's that?" Liam asked. Penelope rolled her eyes. "Oh, that's just some emo freak who joined while you were gone." Liam frowned immediately. "Hey, you shouldn't talk about someone like that, especially when they're right here." Luca looked up in surprise. Nobody had ever defended him before. For some reason, Liam became curious about the quiet boy who always sat alone. Soon, he got the perfect chance to talk to him. The teacher announced a group project. "Liam and Luca." The classroom immediately filled with whispers. "Poor Liam." "Ew, he has to work with the freak." Luca lowered his head, already expecting Liam to complain. After class, Liam walked over to him. "Hey!" "H-hi," Luca replied softly. That was when Liam first noticed Luca's stutter. "So, about the project?" "I-it's f-fine. I-I'll d-do it o-on m-my own." "What? No. It's a group project." Luca blinked in shock. "W-wait... y-you r-really w-want to w-work w-with m-me?" "Of course I do." As they worked together, they slowly became friends. Before long, both of them had feelings for each other, though you didnt believed lia could possibly feel the same way. Then one day, Liam noticed Luca was missing from class. "Where's Luca?" he asked. A girl laughed. "You don't know? Those older boys beat him up again." Several students laughed along with her. Liam felt sick. Without another word, he asked to go to the bathroom. The teacher agreed, but instead he headed to an abandoned part of the school where he thought Luca might be. When he arrived, his heart dropped. Luca was sitting on the ground, covered in bruises and blood, crying. Without thinking, Liam rushed over and knelt beside him. The moment Luca saw him, he broke down and threw his arms around him.
