Mary's POV:
"Ashton, Mary, lets go!"
I jump off my bed and run down the steps. Ashton is graduating in a few weeks, so we have to go shop for clothes.
I really don't see the point in going now, but mom insists that we go ahead and get it out of the way.
When we get to the store, we head towards the men's section for Ashton.
"Mary, if you see anything you want to look at you can while we look."
"I need some other clothes too, but I'll pay for the extra ones."
I go over to the t shirts and pick up a few white ones that have different print on the fronts.
"Mary, those are men's shirts!" Mum says
"But Mum they're so much more comfortable than women's."
"I will not have my teenage daughter wearing men's clothes."
"Well if someone has something to say they can just go fuck themselves."
"Hey!" Ashton say "Language"
"Oh shit my bad." I say
Ashton glares at me.
"I'm kidding Ash. I'm sorry."
"Fine, you can get them."
I throw a few over my arm and go get some jeans.

The next day, Kaitlin comes over to me and tries to start something she can't finish.
"Hey, slut!" She says casually
I see Luke slowly inch his way over. Then I see Michael follow him.
"Not in the mood." I say without looking at her
"What? Still tired from riding Michael last night? Or was yesterday Calum's turn?"
I hear some 'oohs' from the crowd that's now surrounded us.
I'm speechless.
"Hey, Lukey I was wondering if you'd like to...study,tonight?"
"Sorry," I say "he prefers this textbook."
"Yeah obviously he likes thicker books."
I put my hands in my pockets so I won't bitch slap this girl.
"At least I don't have to get up at the crack of dawn to put my face on." I say
I feel Calum come up behind me.
She stays quiet, probably thinking of a good comeback.
"I could remove 98% of your beauty with a Kleenex." I continue
"At least I don't wear guys shirts."
I pretend like I'm looking for something in my pockets.
"What the fuck are you doing?"
"Oh I'm just looking for all the fucks I give, I usually keep them around here somewhere. Oh yeah, there aren't any!"
"You know what?" She says
"What?" I say, sarcastically
"Let's fight!"
The crowd has grown even more.
"Sure." I say calmly
She looks surprised,"Really? Because I mean we don't have to."
"Ahh," I say "all bark, no bite."
She stands there awkwardly.
"God, I hate you."
I pull out the inside of my pockets, "I already told you, I can't seem to find any fucks to give."
She storms away.
I turn back and see Calum's big smile spreading across his face
"What?" I ask
"That," Luke says "the fucks thing."
"Were you really going to fight her?" Michael asks
I laugh a little "Of course not."
"I think it'd be kinda hot." Calum says
Luke and I stare at him
"You know, like most girl fights are."

I slam down onto the mattress, a body presses down on mine. Someone aggressively puts their mouth to mine, forcing their tongue through my lips.
I can't tell who it is until I hear a familiar voice.
"Finally, you don't know how long I've wanted to do this." he says with a grunt
I'm aware that I'm in a dream, everything seems hazy yet real.
Am I seriously having a fucking wet dream right now?
Now it's almost as if I'm watching myself with Luke. I see myself gasp a little. Then all of a sudden, I see we don't have any fucking clothes on!
I try to wake up, but I can't. Then I see him bend me over the edge of the bed and thrust himself into me.
Then, I wake up.
I panic at first, but then I remember it was just a dream. I try to calm down by staring at the ceiling. Then, I hear my window slide up.
I sit up in my bed and whisper, "Luke?"
No answer.
I take my phone and shine the flash light in that direction. It's not Luke.
It's Michael.
"Michael!" I whisper "What the fuck are you doing here?"
He tiptoes over to my bed.
"I need to talk to you, I couldn't go to sleep."
"What about Luke, or Calum?"
"I said, I need to talk to you."
He sits on my bed and I scoot away a little so he will have enough room. He starts talking before I can ask what's wrong.
"I can't stop thinking about you. Its driving me crazy." he says, his voice a little raspy
"You sound tired. What time is it?"
"2 am"
"Why haven't you slept?"
"Well," he says "I couldn't get you out of my head."
"You sound tired."
"I am, but I need to talk to you real quick and then I'll leave. I'll go home."
"Ok."
"I like you, but you and Luke are a thing."
"No, we're not. We're just friends, and we agreed that it's ok if we date other people."
He's quiet for a while, and I'm afraid he's asleep. I can't really tell in the dark.
"Michael?" I whisper
I feel cold hands grab my face and then feel a perfect kiss get placed softly on my cheek.
"G'night, love."
"Goodnight," I say shocked
