Wrapped Around Your Finger

Chapter 4: Pizza Problems

Ana's POV 

        I stared out at the window of Michael's car as I got lost in my thoughts about my recent encounter with Luke Hemmings. I got out of that band hall as fast as I could. It was a good thing that I was a decent runner because Luke had some pretty long legs compared to mine. I was also grateful that I didn't trip over anything as I ran out to Michael's car in the parking lot.  climbed in and curled up in the back seat. Not more than five minutes later did Calum show up all sweaty like me and got in the passenger's side. Michael showed up just a minute later. he looked angry. "What's up?" Calum asked him. "Luke is dating Sam. Sorry Ana." I took a deep breath and held my tears. I blocked out everything else. "ANA!" I heard Michael's voice yell as I saw that we were at the pizza place. "Go pick up the order." He told me. "Why can't Calum do it?" I ask a bit annoyed at my friends. "Because I ordered the pizza." He said matter-of-factly. I rolled my eyes. "I hate you guys." I said as I got out of the car. "WE LOVE YOU TOO ANA!" I shook my head as I walked in the pizza place to pick up our order. I go and tell a worker Calum's name for the order and wait patiently as it would be a few minutes. I sigh and hear my stomach growl then look at a girl I recognize as Sam aka Luke's girlfriend. She was holdng an icecream cone and at that moment Luke wasn't the only thing I was jealous about. I looked at the menu and contemplated ordering some ice cream. "Screw it!" I order some ice cream and they give me a tiny cone of Vanilla ice cream. "I'll run it off later. I deserve this. I've had a rough day." I assure myself then take a bite of my ice cream. I look at Sam once again then wonder where Luke was. I shrugged my shoulders and turned around as I heard Calum's name for the pizza that we ordered. "Hey Ana, you took off so fast that we didn't get a chance to talk." I looked up at the blonde haired boy that I had been trying to avoid. I didn't say anything and not because I didn't want to, but because my mouth was filled with ice cream that I had shoved in my mouth the previous second. I gave him a nervous smile then swallowed my ice cream that I had in my mouth so that I could open my mouth to speak. "Yeah...um sorry...ice cream and yeah I thought that no one was in the music hall. I won't do that again I am sorry." Just as he was about to speak I saw Calum enter the place. "WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG ANA?" I laughed at him. "I better get going Luke," I glanced at Sam before I continued, "And you should too...bye." I grabbed a box of pizza and Calum grabbed the other two boxes. "Sorry Michael was getting impatient." Calum tried to explain then I heard his stomach growl. "Now I know you were lying. You are just hungry. Can't believe you came barging in there." I roll my eyes. "You got to eat ice cream!" He replied then I opened my mouth to say a remark, but then thought of nothing. "Fine! I'm sorry, okay?!" I finished as we got into the car to drive to Michael's house. I grabbed the pizza boxes and set them on the table as Michael turned on the Xbox 360 so we could all play FIFA. "So who's team am I on tonight fellas?" I ask them. "Team Hemmings" Michael remarks as I smack him as I rolled my eyes then mumbled to myself. "I wish..."

Sam's POV

Luke called Ashton to meet us at the pizza place while I ordered the ice cream.  "One large vanilla cone and a large chocolate." the chashier took my money and I sat down with the cones. I looked out the window and almost choked on my ice cream. Michael was sitting out in his car and I wanted to cry. I couldn't believe I had told him I was dating Luke. "Hey Punky!" I turned and smiled huge. "Ash!" I jumped into his arms and gave him a huge hug. "Hey now put down my 'girlfrined'. " Luke joked as he walked up the table. Ashton laughed and set me down. He gave his brother a quick hug. Luke and Ashton were half brothers. Ashton's dad had walked out on their mother when he was a baby and two years later after she met Luke's father she had Luke. They still looked a lot like each other for half brothers though. Both were blond and tall and gorgeous, but Ashton had green eyes where Luke had blue eyes. "How are my two favorite emos?" Ashton asked sitting down. "Still not emo Ash." I clarified before launching our story. "So I may have accidently told a guy that I liked that I was dating Luke and now his best frind which is a girl that Luke likes knows too and I totally screwed up." I explained in one breath. "Not to mention the guy she likes is a total tool!" Luke interjected. "Oh please! this morning you were all for it and now just because of that one remark in bio!" i glared at my best friend. "No one should ever talk to you that way!" He fought back. "Whoa! Hey what did he say?" I stopped fighting with Luke and blushed. "It's going to sound out of context but i said fuck me and he said gladly." Ashton's face settled into a bitch face. "Okay one don't swear. It's unladylike," I gave him a look, "and second, Luke's right that was uncalled for." I sighed. "Oh come on it's not like it'd be the first time." Luke and Ashton's faces paled. Ah shit. "I DID NOT NEED TO HEAR THAT!" Luke said at the same time Ashton yelled out, "WHO?!" I looked at both boys and felt a blush creep up my neck. "Nevermind not the point! Ashton what do I do?" He shook his head and thought for a moment. "I guess just tell them the truth. That's the only thing I can think of. Sorry Punky." I hung my head. That's what I was afraid of. "Alright, I guess that works thanks Ash." We spent the next hour joking and talking about Ashton. He had met a girl in his history of rock and roll class at the university and they were casually dating here and there. a tiny pag of jelousy lit in me but it passed. Ashton was hot as fuck but he was Luke's brother. Plus I had a punk rocker here who was driving me wild. "Hey do yall want to go to a party this weekend? I can totally get y'all in." Ashton said as we walked out of the pizza place. "Yeah that sounds awesome!" i agreed. Luke was hesitant but i convinced him. "Come on pretty please Lukey It'll be fun." I gave him my signiture puppy face he fell for it like he typically did. "Fine yeah we'll go." he laughed and Ashton whooped. "Bye bro, have a safe drive back okay?" The university was only twenty minutes away but Ashton liked living on campus. "Yeah I will. Bye Punky take care of my little bro." Ashton pulled me into a tight hug. "We will talk about the little revelation later." he whispered into my ear. My entire body buzzed and i went still. "OKay." He kissed my cheek and pulled away. "Bye guys." he got into his car and drove off. "You alright?" I nodded and we walked back to the school where my car waiting lonely in the parking lot. "I'll be over in just a little bit okay?" I told Luke as i pulled into my drive way. "Okay see you." I ran inside  and called for my mother. No answer like usual. She worked the night shift at the hospital and it was rare for her to be home before 3 am. I siaghed and went up stairs to my room. I changed into a pair of sweats and then climbed out my window. Luke and i had constructed a bridge of sorts between our bedroom window about six years ago. "Password." the quiff boy said from the other side of the window. "Balls." I stated and he smiled and let me in. we smiled at each other deviously then at the same time yelled, "MOVIE NIGHT!"
