The Locker Room •• Ashton Irwin ••

22.

I ran into the cafeteria and saw a group forming around a table. I saw Izzy somewhere in the middle off it and took up my pace before fighting my way to the middle of the circle. "What's going on Izz?" I asked.
"Don't hate me." She said. "Promise not to hate me and be nice." I sat down and stole a piece of her pizza.
"Kay." Someone tapped my shoulder and I looked up swiftly before looking back to Izzy and Luke who just sat down.
"Uhm Eliza I wanted to ask you if you wanted to, uhm, go out with me sometimes?" Ashton said.
"Hey Luke what did you do anything fun?" I asked ignoring the guy behind my back.
"No I didn't." He said with a smile. I knew he would be on my side. He tapped my shoulder again and this time I turned around.
"Uhm, Eliza would you like to go out with me?" He asked. I could see he was nervous as he bit his lip.
"Do you know what you did wrong already, no? Than no." I turned back around and laughed at the twins. "You guys don't want to know but he's aromantic. It surprises me he even had the guts to ask me while I'm next to you guys." I smiled but that was soon wiped of my face as I heard Michael shout.
"Hey my friend here has to say something so shut the fuck up."
"Michael don't swear." Izzy scolded him laughing. I looked up at a table and saw Ashton standing on top of it. In his hand he held a single pink tulip, cause roses are mainstream, and over his shoulder laid some sort of cloth. He looked at Michael with a 'are you serious' kind of face and than turned to me.
"Elizabeth Young, after all those times spent together I made a mistake ruining everything. Will you forgive me and give me the honor of being your boyfriend?" I decided to fuck with his brain and turned to the twins.
"What do you think?" I whispered.
"I think yes." Izzy said.
"If it makes you happy yes. And you embarrassed him enough already." Luke said. I nodded and turned back. I stood up and took the flower from his outstretched hand.
"Of course I'll be Ashton." I heard a lot of people in cheering including Timon and Pumba. He swept the cloth of his shoulder and held it out for me. It was a school shirt from the football team. On the back was Eliton 2014 . "Thanks Ashton I love it." I said before lightly pecking his lips.
"So where do you wanna go tonight?" He asked grabbing my hand and moving it up to kiss the back of it.
"I can't Ash I have to work. You heard your uncle." I sighed. I'd love to go to do something with Ashton tonight but I need the money.
"I can get you out."
"Ash my money problem."
"I can give you everything you want. Money is no matter."
"I'm not a gold digger." I exclaimed pushing him softly.
"What if I want to buy you stuff."
"Than I'd ask where you'd get the money to do so."
"That's me to know and for you to guess princess." he kissed my nose and I giggled making him smile.
"If your gonna be like that we'll be sure to break the two of you up." Calum said fake gagging, pulling us out of our little cloud. I moved to sit down and suddenly sat on someone's lap. I jumped a little making everyone laugh. I looked around to see it was Ash and I cuddled into his chest as he put his arms around me. "I don't care Cal. These will just be our honeymoon days."
"Hopefully you're not the couple that spends months on honeymoon." Michael joked.
We all kept joking till we had to get to class. We said goodbye and I walked to class with Izzy as Luke was in honor role class. "Why is your brother such a nerd? And why aren't you as his twin nerd in the same classes as he is?" I said as we sat down in our spot in the back of class.
"Because of an accident with one of the kids I had to tutor. I don't want to talk about it but I began having worse grades so I didn't have to tutor him anymore." She grinned and got out her physics books.
"I don't know if that's insanely smart or very dumb." I snickered.
"Smart of course. Remember you called me the nerd." We heard a smack on the teachers desk and averted our eyes to the front.
"If you'd be so kind to listen your grades would also be going up. Miss Young." The teacher said. "And even though you get high grades doesn't means you have to distract your friend miss Hemmings." He turned his back towards the class. "Why she isn't in the honor class is a question for us all." He muttered making us both laugh.

"Bye Hemmings." I said waving to the twins.
"By Young." The waved back and turned to their moms car. Mrs Hemmings picks them up everyday and it's a wonder they didn't complain about their freedom as teenagers. But they loved their mom enough to appreciate it and that's admirable.
I turned and started to walk to the football field. As I sat down and watched the boys train my mind drifted off. What will everyone be saying about us being together? I don't want to know. I need to know. I hate attention and knowing everyone was talking about me isn't something to look forward to. I want to be able to walk with him through town and in school without people pointing and looking and stuff. I won't have my life like it was. But if that means I get to be with Ashton that's fine by me. Suddenly I heard a scream.
