Foreign exchange a.i.

School

When I walked in the door I saw Michael, pacing in front of it, and Mr. and Mrs. Clifford trying to calm him down. When he saw me he immediately hugged me.

"Holy shit, are you okay!" Michael asked me, more as to hear me tell him that he can calm down.

"She might punch your gut, she nearly punched me for asking." Ashton jumped in.

"Only because you asked about one million times," I laughed, "and yes, I'm okay." I said looking from face to face with everyone in the room.

"Michael wouldn't calm down." Mrs. Clifford said.

"Mum-" Michael started but his mom cut him off.

"He kept pacing and he looked almost on the brink of tears. But we could see where he was coming from though, you two are close, like best friends, if one of our friends were nearly kidnapped we'd be panicking too." His mom said, "Not that we weren't concerned, trust me we were."

"Anyways, thank you Ashton I'm glad you popped up." Michael said moving towards Ashton to give him that man hug thing that guys do.

'Yeah well, I'm glad I had the free time to go." He said

"Well I wanted to go and watch some movies and relax before school starts so Ash and I were gonna go watch a movie, is that alright?" I said.

"Yeah of course!" Micheal's parents said in unison.

"You can come to mike." Ashton said, not wanting him to seem left out.

"No, I have to clean my room," he said while glaring at his parents, " but I wish I could."

"You are doing nothing until that room is clean." Mrs. Clifford said and Michael sighed.

We all shared a laugh and Ashton and I headed into the kitchen to get some drinks while Michael headed up to his room.

"I don't think I ever said thank you." I told him. After Ashton swooped in like prince charming, I was to shaken up to say anything and after, when we went to Mc'donalds I was too busy yelling at him to stop asking if I was okay.

"No it's no problem" He said while scavenging the fridge to find some sort of drink.

"How did you know it was me just from my screams?" I asked.

"I don't know, it just had an off accent to it. It also sounded like you. I don't know." He replied while shaking his head.

"Whatever, the bottom line is, you saved me and I am forever grateful." I said and we started up the stairs.

"Okay so what do you want to watch?" He said changing the subjects.

"A comedy." I told him.

"Alright like what?"

"Um.. Do you know who Keven Heart is?" I asked.

"No."

"Then that." I said and walked into the movie room.

"Can we cuddle?" Ashton asked and I laughed.

"Yeah okay."

"Yay." He said while I grabbed the remote then proceeded to sit in between his legs, lying down on his chest (theyr'e sitting up okay).

"Can I ask you something else?" I said and turned my head to look up at Ashton.

"Yeah okay." He told me looking down at me.

"Were you avoiding me earlier." I said and Ashton's smile disappeared.

"Well." Ashton hesitated. "Okay yes I was but! I don't know what to do around you. There's just something about you that makes you different. I fell awkward around you and I'm never awkward around girls. And then the other day, no one knows and I didn't know what to do, and I'm sorry I've been a bipolar asshole lately, I'm just stressed out, I'm sorry. Don't be mad."

"Ashton. A) Don't be awkward just because of the other day. I have first hand experience with that it's okay, your secret is safe and I don't even look at you different. And B) Aw I frustrate you?" I laughed and he blushed.

"I never said that." He stated.

"But you implied it." I told him. Now his whole face was red, it was honestly so cute.

"Yeah, okay." He murmured and looked away.

"Your cute." I said and poked one of his cheeks.

"So are you." He said under is breath and I don't think he wanted me to hear it. so I didn't say anything, but started the movie instead.

The movie ended at about 5 pm and I wanted to start planning for tomorrow, so I kicked Ashton out, which was very hard, and I was finally alone. I was laid out on my bed just thinking. What did he mean when he said I was cute. I clearly said mine in a playful manor, but he said his like he didn't want me to hear, does that mean that he could like me? Does Ashton Fletcher Irwin have a crush on me.

How could someone as good looking as Ashton like someone so.. bleh like me. I mean, he's got hair that curls perfect, and its the perfect length, his eyes are a beautiful mix of brown and green, his height is perfect, hes just taller than me which is, like I said, perfect. His body, oh his body, whenever I hug him he is always so firm, like he's got iron for muscles. I bet he has a six pack. Hes perfectly skinny, his laugh is adorable, the way he talks, all his tendencies, when he tries to be flirty, when he blushes, he's perfect. okay, overall he. Is. Hot.

"UGH." I yelled, then remembered that his best friend is just down the hall and my music playing wasn't that loud. Why am I so frustrated.

"You okay!" Michael yelled and busted into my room. This time I screamed and then laughed.

"I was but now I think that you gave me a heart attack." I said and started laughing.

"Well why'd you scream." Michael said.

"Oh, I'm just frustrated." I said, I didn't want to lie to him, It would only cause problems.

"Already, what about?" He said closing my door and moving to sit down on the edge of my bed.

"Well." I started. "Okay, Ithinkilikeashton." I said really fast, don't be mad, please.

"Wait, slow down, what." Michael said and looked at me harder as I took a deep breath.

'I think I like Ashtion." I told him.

"Well I think he likes you." He said.

"Please don't be ma- wait seriously." I said.

"Yeah and why would I be mad, If anyone knows Ashton it would be me and the boys, and when hes in a relationship hes usually serious about it, I cant really think of a time where he cheated on a girl. I would rather you date Ashton rather than you date some random person from our school. A lot of the random ones are assholes." He said.

"So why do you think he likes me?" I asked.

"Just the way he looks at you. The way he acts, its not, usual for him." He told me.

"Oh." I told him and he got up to leave after an awkward moment of silence. "Hey! While your in here what could I wear tomorrow." I said and pointed to the two outfits I had laid out in the floor.

"Flannel one." He said with one glance and walked out the door. Of course the flannel.
