"I spy with my little eye, something beginning with S."

"Sign?"

"No."

"Shop?"

"Not even close."

"Stupid äss boy that won't shut up?"

Ashton pouted and leant back in his seat, crossing his strong arms across his chest.

"That was rude."

I rolled my eyes in annoyance as I turned down into Ashton's street, my hands gripped tightly around the steering wheel. At first, I thought a car ride with Ashton would be fun. No dangerous driving, no speed tickets.

Just me and him.

But now, all I wanted was to get rid of him.

The boy wouldn't shut up.

"Do you give up?"

"Yes Ashton." I sighed, biting the inside of my cheek to refrain from yelling out in frustration.

Luke giggled sleepily in the back, reminding me that I would have to take care of him back home.

Perfect.

"It was the sun." Ashton smirked, poking my side.

I squirmed uncomfortably and pulled up in front of his house, unlocking the doors before sending an expectant glance towards him.

"Bye Ashton."

He frowned, running a hand through his dishevelled hair.

"Don't you want to come in?"

My heart leapt, but I told myself to simmer down, taking a slow steady breath.

If I couldn't handle a fifteen minute car journey with him, what made me think I could survive a few hours in his house?"

"Y'know, it's pretty late Ashton." I mumbled, awkwardly blushing at my dreadful lie "My mum will be mad."

"Is that a no?" He chuckled, sceptically raising his eyebrows.

I lowered my gaze before nodding, guilt twisting sharply at my gut. My excuse was pretty reasonable - my mum would be mad - but I couldn't help but feel increasingly guilty about the whole thing.

Half the girls at school would kill for a chance to visit his house, and here I was, denying his invitation.

I was a sick human being.

"How about you come to ours?" Luke murmured, slightly turning his head to look at us.

Ashton shot me a questioning glance and I shrugged, not wanting to be a bigger bítch than I already felt.

Luke was a fücking idiot.

"Sure."

I forced a grin and put the car into gear, pulling away from Ashton's house. He watched intently, a small smirk tugging at his lips.

"I guess it's a sleepover."

I let out a small chuckle and pretended to be amused, sending him a large smile.

"Can't wait."
