First day of senior year. How wonderful. High school is almost over and next is college. Help me.

I change into my favorite skinny jeans, the ones that are ripped from the knees, and a black anchor glamour kills tee.

"Cal, honey! You're going to be late! Mali is driving you to school, so please hurry. You know how she is when she's late." I quickly shove on my Vans and head to the mirror.

"I'm almost done, mum!" I run my hands through my blonde part of my hair and try to make it work.

"Calum!" my sister yelled. "Fuck, Mali! I'm on my way! Calm down!" I yelled back.

"No swearing!" Mum yelled. I roll my eyes. Another Ashton in my life, just what I need.

I quickly grab my backpack and run downstairs. As soon as I reach down the stairs, I slip. "Fuck." I groaned. I can tell this first day of senior year is going to suck monkey balls.

"Haha! You suck!" Mali laughed. "And you swallow." I mumbled to myself, but she heard. "Hey! You prick!" she hit my arm while I was trying to stand up and I almost fell again. She laughed while I groaned curse words at her.

"C'mon loser. We're going to school." we both head out the door. "Bye mum! Love you!" we told our mum.

"Good luck on your first day, Calum. And you on your first day of work, Mali. Love you guys, too." she told us. I enter Mali's new car and put on my seat belt. As soon as Mali drove, she started saying shit about my first day.

"So, I bet your first day is going to suck." she chuckled. I roll my eyes and say, "don't worry. I can also bet it is."

"Do you have everything you need?" She asked, eyes steady on the road. I skim through my backpack to check if everything is there. I should of checked last night if I did, just to be very sure. "Uh, yeah. Everything is..- oh fucking hell! Mali can you turn this car around? I forgot my phone back home!" I groaned. "Hell fucking no!" She laughed at me like if I was crazy. "I do not want to be late on my first day at work! Are you out of your mind, dude?"

"Apparently, so turn this god damn car around, Mali-koa! I need my phone!" I angrily said. "Well, too bad! Should of check if you had everything in order before we left." she rolled her eyes.

"Well, I do, but I would of had my phone with me if you guys didn't rush me!" I crossed my arms. "Geez, Calum. Don't be such a baby! Look, your school is just up ahead. If you need your phone in case of an emergency, just call from one of your friends' phone." she parked in front of the school, signaling me to get out of her car. "Hey, also, get one of your friends to give you a ride home, too. I can't pick you up in time, I have to work in late." I roll my eyes at her and said, "fine," and slammed the car door. "Hey! Don't do that!" I could hear her from inside and I chuckle. I wave her goodbye. "Bye Mali-Koa!"

I enter inside the building and get a good look at my familiar high school. Just one more year, Calum. "Hey Cal!" a familiar voice yelled. I look over to see one of my best buds, Luke Hemmings and beside him is also one of my best buds, Michael Clifford.

"Hey guys! How are you?" I pat both of them on the back and they did the same. Luke used to have long hair, I guess you can say, but now, he's smokin' hot. Kidding, but he looks great with his new hair going upwards. And Michael over here used to have hair, now he's balding because of him dying his hair every color on this planet. Now, it looks like a smurf pooped on his blonde hair.

"We're good. But hey, have you heard of Piper? I've heard she already got in trouble for talking trash about Amber."

Ah, Piper Parker. She's the creepiest girl in school. Not to me really, I think she looks fucking hot. I love her style. Mostly dark colors and beanies. I never have the chance to talk to her. No one likes her, it apparently started back in 8th grade when someone caught her taking pictures of Amber in her backyard. No one knows why she was there, but her. And they also call her a slut because ever since her ex, Tyler, told everyone in the whole school that she had sex with 6 other guys and gave them STDs. I don't believe those rumors, but sometimes I am afraid to go near her.

And Amber Johnson. She's the most hottest girl in our school and also my ex. I dated her back in 10th grade and broke up last summer. I've found out that she's been cheating on me with 3 other guys, one of them being Piper's ex. So, I dumped her in front of the whole school and she threw water at my face and kicked me in the balls. Hurt like shit, but it was worth it.

So, now, I might want to get a chance to talk to Piper. She looks really creative with her camera she's always carrying around with her everyday, not to mention her amazing eyes and body.

"Bright eyes? Ha, Amber deserved it." I chuckled. "Bright eyes? So you have a nickname for her now?" Michael laughed. "Yeah. Well, she has bright eyes, don't she? It's all blue and shiny." I told them, while they kept laughing. "She probably cries all the time, that's why she has shiny eyes." Luke snorted. I rolled my eyes at them. "Shut up and let's go." On the way to our class, we walk past Piper sitting outside the principal's office. I swear, we made eye contact and I couldn't help but smile.
