Chapter 3

Angelica's pov

After breakfast, my aunt gave me money to go shopping.

Aunt Kat let me borrow her Mercedes since the mall was too far for me to walk to. It took some time to adjust to it, since I was used to those trashy, old, cars.

I decided to go clothes shopping first, since that would probably be the quickest.

I stopped at one store to get a sweater, 3 flannels, and 2 pairs of skinny jeans. That's enough clothes for me today.

Next, I decided to go shopping for stuff for my room.

I bought black and red paint, to repaint my walls, and 3 shelves.

I decided that was all I needed.

Suddenly, I get a text from my mom.

'Honey, get a nice outfit from the mall for tonight. We're going to dinner at the Irwin's house :)'

Are we seriously going there for dinner?

Since I had no energy to go buy a "nice outfit", I've decided to wear what I usually wear.

~~~~~~~~~

At 5:30 my mom called me telling me it's time to go. Not really wanting to go, I decided to lie to my mom.

"Mom, I can't go,"

"Why not?"

"Because it's close to my time of the month, and I'm having really bad cramps," I lied, clutching onto my stomach.

"Okayy," my mom sighed.

"Well we're leaving now. Feel better honey," she said as she kissed my forehead.

As they were leaving Amanda turned around and mouthed, while smiling 'good one'.

I decided to paint my room to kill time.

I found newspaper to cover up the floor, a paint roller, and duck tape.

I was feeling a bit creative, so after I set up everything, I took the duck tape and made it into a checker pattern on one of my walls and started filling in the squares with paint.

As I was painting, I heard the door bell. It was probably my mom forgetting something.

When I opened the door I saw 3 unfamiliar faces, along with Ashton.

"We were going for a walk and I decided we should see why you weren't able to make it to the dinner at my house," Ashton said.

Does he think we're friends?

Not wanting to talk to him, I shut the door.

A second later, he knocks again.

"What?!?" I say/yell.

"Im sorry. You're probably really busy. We should go," A tall, blonde, blue eyed, boy says, nervously.

I don't understand why he's nervous. But that's none of my business.

"Yeah Ashton. Listen to that kid," I said, pointing to him.

"That kids name is Luke, and why are you trying so hard to make us leave?" Ashton asks.

"Because you're annoying, and I'm busy," I tell him.

"What are you doing?" Ashton asks.

"None of your business," I say.

"I'll consider leaving if you tell me," He obnoxiously says.

"Im painting my room," I say, wanting him to leave. "Now, leave."

"No. We're gonna help you," He says trying to get past me.

"No thanks," I disagree, then close the door on them.

I was really surprised when I didn't hear any knocking.

I went back to painting, until I heard a couple weird noises.

It sounded like it was coming from the window, so I opened it, and right at that moment a rock hit me right in the eye.

"WHAT THE HELL," I screamed, looking out to see Ashton and the other 3 boys.

"Sorry. I was just trying to get your attention. Now let us in," Ashton said.

"Fine, but I'm allowed to kick you out whenever I want." I said, knowing he'll never give up.

"Yay!" he exclaimed.

"I'm already regretting this," I mutter to myself as I open the front door.

"Ok, so, Angelica, this is Michael, Calum, and Luke" Ashton introduced.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever" I said.

"Thanks to you guys, I have to ice my eye now" I complain.

"Sorry about that" Ashton apologized.

I grabbed some ice and headed upstairs with them all following behind me.

"Woah," I heard Michael gasp. "This is really cool," he said referring to the pattern I made on the wall.

"Thanks" I said.

I turned to Ashton and said "I hope you don't think we're friends"

"Since right now, I don't" he forms a flat line with his lips.

"You guys can just sit down and watch," I said motioning to my bed for them to sit down there.

I turned on my music, and the first song that came on happened to be American Idiot by Greenday, and I can't help but sing along. So I did.

As I was singing to myself, I heard another voice singing too. I turned around to see Luke singing along. He was way better than me. He saw me looking and started blushing.

After finishing one wall, I knew it would take me all night to paint my whole room by myself.

I saw that Calum had long, and strong arms, so I went up to him, shoved a paint brush in his hand and said "I hope you're good at painting."

He looked at me and shrugged "I guess I am."

I gave the others paint brushes to help because I couldn't bother to paint anymore.

"If you wanna be in my house you gotta do some work," I sound like my mother.

I went to the bathroom to look at my eye, and noticed it was red and swollen. Oh god.

"Ashton!" I screamed as I got out of the bathroom.

They looked at me confused.

"Look at what you did!" I yelled pointing at my eye.

"For the third time, I'm sorry" Ashton said smiling.

"Do you think this is funny? What am I going to tell my mom? Oh I opened the window, and our obnoxious neighbor threw a rock at my eye?" I yelled, getting very angry.

"Please get out," I said, trying to sound calm.

"Okay," Ashton said, disappointedly. "Im sorry."

I knew I was being stupid and Ashton didn't mean to throw the rock at my eye, but I really think it's close to my period, and I couldn't help myself.

As they were walking out, Luke looked at me and had the nerves to say "The purple really fits you."

It was really hard to not punch him right there.

When'd he grow bigger balls?

I slammed the door shut and went up stairs to cover up my bruise with a lot of make up.

After attempting to cover it up, I got back to work.

What a night.

••••••••••••

Sorry this was really long.

Also I'm really sorry the beginning was pretty boring.

xx Love you all xx
