Who Could Deny These Butterflies

Alex POV

It was 7th period, the last class of the day, and I was bored as usual. You would think a music class would be fun, but not this one. The teacher, Mr Givens, likes to lecture and has the most monotone voice. I would fall asleep everyday if it wasn’t for Jack entertaining me everyday.

Today was no different than any other. Jack and I were joking around, making dick jokes, while Mr. Givens was going on about god knows what. All of a sudden I hear him say "Is that alright Mr. Gaskarth?" "Um yeah......" I respond completely clueless as to what was going on. Everyone around me start laughing at me including Jack, who I know for a fact had no idea what was going on considering he was distracting me. I glare at him and simply rolls his eyes at me. "As I was saying, two people will get together and write a write a song that will be performed in front of the class. It has to be school appropriate." Mr. Givens says giving Jack a look. Last time we had a project like this he wrote a song about me having a boner. That wasn’t embarrassing at all, note the sarcasm.

I look towards Jack and mouth "partners" right before Mr. Givens announces he has chosen our partners to, as he says, "get us out of our comfort zones". He then reads the list of partners. “ Kellin and Vic, Josh and Oli, Sam and Jess, Victoria and Javen, Isabelle and Jasmine, Alex and Andy" he says and I groan. Not that emo freak. He fucking hates me for god knows why.

I look over at him and see him looking at me with a look of disgust on his face while his best, hell, his only friend Violet whispers something in his ear. "He's not that bad," Jack whispers to me. "Like hell he's not! You're just saying that because you like Violet," I respond. He blushes and says," I don’t like her. We’re just friends,” I roll my eyes at this,”I've actually spent time with Andy. He really isn't as bad as everyone makes him out to be. People only dislike him because he dresses differently, speaks his mind, and just so happens to be gay." He gives me a pointed look at the last point. I sigh. "Fine I'll give him a chance even though I know he hates me," I mutter while Jack smiles like an idiot. “He doesn’t hate you. He just, well he thinks you’re like everyone else in this school,” Jack explained. “Whatever,” I mumble, not believing him.

Andy POV

"Ugh I can't believe I got paired up with that asshole," I complained to my best friend Violet. "Hey from what Jack says about him he doesn't seem like that bad of a guy," she protest. "Just because you've got a crush on a guy doesn't mean you have to defend his douchey friend. I’ve seen how he walks around school and who he dates. He’s just like everyone else in this fucking place. Nothing you can say will change my mind about that."

Just as she was about to protest to that Mr. Givens says, "Jack and Violet." She makes some sort of a squeaky noise and blushes. I look over at Jack and he's blushing too. God they both obviously like each other. Everybody but them knows this. As I'm looking over in that direction I see Alex smile at me. Wait what the fuck is going on?! He hasn't bothered to look in my direction the whole time we've been in school together since middle school. He’s probably just trying to get in my good graces so I’ll do the whole project. Well that’s not going to work. I’m not going to let some fucking douche walk all over me just because he doesn’t want to do a little work or be seen with the emo fag.

The bell rings as I sit there pondering the strange turns of events. I start getting my stuff together and stand up. "Bye sweetie," Violet says as she stands on her tippy toes so she can kiss my cheek, "Text you later. Hey Jack wait up!" And then she was gone. I sigh and head towards the door myself so I can go home and get on tumblr most likely when I hear someone call my name. I turn around in shock to see Alex Gaskarth standing there staring at me.

Notes

So I don't know if any of you who are reading this have read my story Too Much, but this is a rewrite of it. It was my first story, and I don't think that I wrote it very well, so I decided to rewrite it. There is a name change. Violet use to be Jennifer, and yes I did get her name from AHS, but I mean come on. I just have too much feels for it. Well anyways please comment and tell me what you think!
