Music Class (Lashton)

Chapter 4

*Luke's POV*

I just barely made it to class today. I was so caught up in my thoughts. It is senior year and I have yet to talk to him. No, I'm not gay. I'm Bi. I like both girls and boys.

Today was the first day of school and I have no clue if I'm going to be in a class with him. I'll be lucky if I have the same lunch as him. I've been crushing on that boy since year 9. My two best friends, Calum and Michael both know that I like him, but no one else does.

Sometimes I wonder why I like him. I mean it's not like he's weird or anything, but people just don't seem to like him. I hear kids talk shit about him all of the time. Especially this one group of boys in my grade. I don't understand what he did to them to deserve their harassment.

"Hey Cal. Hey Mickey." I greeted them as I entered the school.

"Hi, Luke" they both say in unison.

"Do you think you'll talk to him today?" Calum asked me while we were walking towards our locker.

"I don't know, man. I don't even know if we have any classes together." I said with worry.

"It is senior year, bruh. You need to find some time to talk to him before we graduate." Michael explained.

I answered all anxious now, "I know. I'm going to try."

I went to my locker with Calum because our lockers are right next to each other. It's in alphabetical order. Michael is towards the front of the senior hall since his last name is Clifford, and Cal and I are towards the middle since our last name is Hemmings and Hood.

After we were done at our lockers, we met up with Michael since all three of us have the music composition first period.

When we entered, we got a lot of waves and hellos from our classmates. You could say that I was pretty popular, but I sure as hell didn't feel or act like it. All I wanted to do was look around the class. People tried to talk to me, but I ignored them. I would give an occasional "Hi" or a wave. Then I saw him... In the back of the room, with his head down.

Ashton Irwin

We were the last few kids in class and there were only a few seats in class left. I didn't want to be judged for going in the way back of the classroom, so we sat in the front by the door.

Right before class started, two girls came in. I thought they were both pretty cute, but I was already eyeing someone. They both had glasses, but one was taller than the other. They looked like they could be sisters.

"Umm, my name is Kelsey" the tall one said quietly.

"And I'm Tori!"

She seemed more outgoing than, what I assumed, her sister. They both went up towards where Ashton was sitting. One sat right next to him and the other one sat in front of him. They both started talking to him and I started to feel a little burning inside my stomach. I guess I was getting a little jealous of them already. Even though Ashton is gay, I feel a jealous when other girls go sit and talk with him.

This class was quite boring today, but it's probably because it's the first day.

I was just happy that I had at least one class with Ashton. Actually, it turns out that I have four classes with Ashton. I was quite excited for this year. This gave me a better chance to talk to him and become friends. Maybe even more than friends.

Today went by really fast to my surprise. It was probably because I kept thinking of Ashton all day. I had a nice a nice, warm feeling inside when I thought about him.

After school was over, I went outside to my car to go home. For some reason, I saw Ashton's car still there, but I didn't see Ashton. I heard his name be called in roll call but I didn't see him after 5th hour. Hmm, I wonder where he went after that class. Maybe he got picked up early by his mum because he was ill. It's none of my business anyways, so I shouldn't worry.

I went home and went ahead to my bedroom to do homework. Hah, who am I kidding...? I'm not about to do my homework. I'll just call up Micky and Calum to play some FIFA but first I'm going to get a snack. My mum wasn't home because she is a teacher at a different school and she had to stay after to work. She usually brings her work home, but since it's the first day of school, she stayed there.

After I got my snack, I called up my two closest friends and they arrived about 10 minutes later.

"Hey, Lucas! How was school?" Michael said a little too excitedly with a wink.

"Good, why you asking?"

"Well, a little birdie said you had a few classes with "You know who". You get what I'm saying?" Calum cooed.

"Haha, oh. Yea, I have 4 classes with Ashton, but I didn't see him after 5th hour." I said disappointed.

"Yeah, I have 7th hour with him, I didn't see him either. Maybe he skipped?" Calum said.

"He doesn't skip, but who knows." I said while setting up the game.

For the rest of the day, we all played FIFA together until about 7:00 pm. The whole time, Michael kept beating me in the game and it made me sad, but it was just a game and he always beat me.

My mum returned home an hour or so ago. I could hear her start to make dinner.

"I'm home!" she yelled upstairs to me.

"Okay! Calum and Michael are here!"

"Okay!"

Pretty soon, Calum had to leave so his mum wouldn't get worried about him missing dinner. Michael left shortly after so that he would be home in time to eat.

"Dinner is ready." my mum said as was walking down the steps.

"Okay, Thanks."

After I was done eating, I went upstairs and took a quick shower. Today, I decided to shower at night so I would have more time to get ready in the morning. Tomorrow, I wanted to be early to class.

By the time I was finished with showering and brush my teeth, it was almost 9, so I decided to play some FIFA to hopefully get better and finally beat Calum and Michael.
