Chapter 8

This is a really shitty chapter, and sorry for not updating but I'm gonna start putting more effort in don't worry💕

Alexandra's POV

The bell ringing made everyone shoot out of class, as it was time for lunch.

I picked my bag up off the floor, stuffing my notes in and zipping it closed. I threw the strap over my shoulder as I walked through the classroom door, watching as people shot past, waving to their friends at the other end of the corridor. There was one guy who caught my eye though, his head was kept down as he pushed his way through all the people standing in the way.

I watched as I walked after him, having to head that way myself. In all the havoc he was knocked over by some really tall guy. I quickly walked over, extending a hand out to him, which he took gratefully, as I helped him up. I flashed him a smile, but walked straight ahead spotting Michael.

I tapped his shoulder causing him to spin around, making him dizzy. "Shit, Hi" He groans clutching his forehead, making me laugh lightly. He just shrugged down at me, taking my apple from my hand and taking a bite out of it. "Mmmm tastes good" He nodded approvingly, handing it back to me. He didn't fully get to swallow his bite before he had me pushed to the side of the lockers, hidden.

"Don't talk, Calum is coming shhh" He warned, leaning against his locker.

"Have you seen Alexandra?" Calum asked Michael which earned a groan.

"Dude you're getting whipped"

"I'm not, I hate her" Calum laughed at the accusation

"Sure ya do mate, but last time I saw her she was outside"

"Oh okay, well see you later I guess" Calum fist bumped Michael, quickly leaving.

****************

"I've been looking for you all day" I hear from behind me, as I leave the school gates. Without looking back, I knew it was Calum. I gulped as I slowed my pace, letting him catch up.

"Where were you?" He groaned, falling into stride with me. I just shrugged, lacing my hand in with his, smiling over at him. He snatched his hand back, so I pouted over at him, speeding up my pace once again.

"Okay, okay, slow down" He growled, intertwining our fingers again. My hand began to sweat from the pressure as I saw Ashton leaning against a tree up ahead, waiting for me. Once we reached him, Ashton cocked an eyebrow at the awkwardness of Calum. He was shifting on his feet, looking down at me.

"I uh, better head off. See ya" He spoke clearing his throat, walking in the opposite direction we were going.

"Calum are you forgetting something?" Ashton quickly asks after him, causing him to look back nervously, before he nods. "Sorry babe, I forgot" Calum smiles innocently down at me, cringing before his lips get pressed to mine. I lift my hands up, holding onto his neck, bringing him closer to me. He tries to pull away, put I just pull him closer.

"Stop it or else" He growls quiet enough for only me to hear. I pull away, smiling up at him, pecking his lips once more.

"I have to go, bye" Calum then shoots off running the other way, going until he is out of sight.

"Well that was unusually weird for him but I don't even want to know why" Ashton shakes his head, taking my bag from me. I throw myself at him, giving him a tight hug.

"I love you Ash, thanks for everything" I mumble against his chest, "I love you too now let's go" He laughs, throwing an arm around my shoulders.

"But do you love me more than Calum?" He pouts playfully, ruffling my hair. I groan smacking his hand away but nodding. "You don't know the half of it" I say with a nervous laugh.

"As I said earlier, I do not want to know" He teases.
