Asher Baxton is typically a guy who jokes around all the time. Some might describe him as a prankster. Some might describe him as a rebel. The rest just think he's a pain in the ass. With his flaming red hair, his seemingly bubbly exterior, and his ability to make anyone mad with him, not many people would think twice about him. What people don't realize is that Asher is a broken person on the inside. At school, everyone seems to hate him. At home, he lives with a woman who doesn't love him, no father, and an older brother who sees him as a disgrace to the family. Usually, Asher couldn't care less about what anyone has to say about him.
One day, it's just too much for Asher to handle, and he has a sudden meltdown in the school halls. Your character is staying after school late when they hear Asher. This person would be one of the people who probably think Asher is nothing but a rebellious prankster. However, in this moment, they can tell Asher needs someone there for him, and they decide to help him. While walking him home, they learn he's not as big of a pain in the backside that everyone thinks he is. Your character and Asher become unlikely friends. They help Asher with schoolwork and learning new stuff, and in turn Asher provides your character loyal companionship and entertainment. Asher quickly falls for your character, but he hides it so he doesn't turn away his new friend. Soon enough, people start noticing that your character hangs around Asher a lot, and they try to turn them away from Asher. Along with that, Asher is getting more hate than usual. When something happens (I have something in mind but I'd like a suggestion if you have one) to jeopardize their friendship, Asher tells your character how he feels. It's up to you how your character reacts to this.
My only requirement is more than one short sentence. I usually reply long if you reply long, so please try not to make it a one liner. I respect if you have a low muse or if you were rushed making the post. Post a picture of your character, their name, and you can put a reply up.

It's official. Today has been the shittiest day ever for Asher. His wonderful day started off with having his brother drive him to school. He got a long lecture about how he was going to pay one day for behaving the way he does. It was not a fun car trip. At school, he flunked another test, he got detention next week, he almost got beat up twice, and he got shoved into a trash can at the end of the school day. The biggest jock on the football team had shoved him in there. It didn't help he was built smaller than a lot of guys, and he was shorter than most of them. When he got home, his mother broke the news that his grandmother was diagnosed with cancer a few days ago, and he was forced to go back to school to get a binder that had homework in it. To top it all off, it began pouring halfway to school.
Honestly, just couldn't the universe give me a break? Asher furrowed his brows as he headed back to the school. Most everyone would be gone by now. He would probably be the only student in the high school hallway. He entered the building and headed to his locker upstairs. His footsteps gently echoed off the walls, and the rain pounding against the metal roof of the school refused to let silence settle in the hallways of the school. He heaved a sigh as he found his locker. Spinning in the combination, he opened the metallic door.
The first thing his eyes caught were the sticky notes. Little sticky notes somebody had stuck all in his locker. It wasn't very pleasant stuff. Stuff like 'Annoying little douchebag' or 'Kill yourself- not like anyone would miss you'. Lovely little reminders courtesy of students who figured out his locker combination and would leave messages every day for him. However, this time, something came over Asher as he gazed at those sticky notes. A sudden feeling of something that hit him hard. He felt tears rise to his eyes. With a rough gesture, he slammed the locker door shut and beat the door with his fist once. "Damn it," he growled. "Damn it. Damn it. Damn it." With his back against the lockers, he slid down to the floor. Tears rolled down his cheeks, and he felt a sob rise up in his throat. He buried his face into his arms as he sat in the middle of the hallway. At that moment, he didn't care if anyone saw him. All he needed to do was cry.
