Abbi:
I stayed at the Hemmings house for a while actually, just chatting with the boys and Avery. They basically gave me a layout of how to survive the school.
1. Do not EVER talk to Harry, Liam, Niall, or Louis.("total fuckboys.")
2. Stick with the guys and Andy. ("We'll protect you!")
3. Do noooooot piss off Mr. Rowding. ("Assistant principal with a part time job as Satan.")
4. Have fun and be yourself. ("Jk this is torture.")
Try were all nice, friendly, and funny. The only one who seemed more distant was Calum, but I couldn't think of anything I'd done wrong. He seemed fine in science today, he had offered to be my lab partner and had really helped me out, but at Luke's house he barely made eye contact with me.
Made me a little sad actually.
Luke:
"I thought she was looking at me more..."
"Dude, no, she laughed at all my jokes-"
"She felt sorry for you, she was sitting closest to me."
Michael, Ashton, and I were arguing over who she was most interested in. Calum just sat around in his shitty moody and mysterious act. I swore she she was interested in me because she'd been sitting right next to me.
She totally wanted it.
But Michael thought Abbi liked him because she gave him little pity laughs and Ashton was for sure she was his.
This might be more complicated then we thought.
Calum:
Well that went just swell.
In science I saw her walk in and immediately knew I'd get her to be my partner. It wasn't hard, I kind of knew her so she quickly sat beside me.
Good lord, she's fantastic.
She kept up an intelligent conversation with me for the whole two hours of class, and made me laugh for about 90% of it. I think I made her laugh some, and she's pretty when she laughs.
But then I got to Luke's house and I saw how much Ashton and Luke liked her... I couldn't do that to my mates. I wasn't even sure I'd be the one to win her over, but I didn't want to risk it in case I did, I wasn't sure if fighting over this girl would be the same as any other girl.
So I didn't. I sat with Andy and tried to keep my focus on her, but that was hard when Her focus was on Michael and mine was truly on someone else.
Abbi:
After hanging out with the boys and Andy all afternoon, I actually had some studying to do. I was a little behind in this schooling system and I was determined to get caught up.
But I really couldn't focus.
All I could think about how weird an insanely lucky I was to have made friends as fast as I had. There was no period of awkwardness. I liked all of them, and the little sister. I couldn't help but sit and think about what would go wrong.
What if they were actually stringing me along? Playing a joke on the new girl? Get her to open up to them and then drop her and see how hard she shatters.
I sighed and doodled absentmindedly. I really didn't want anything to go wrong. I mean, didn't I deserve something good to happen to me? I had been through a lot, and I just wanted one good thing to happen with no strings attached.
With a groan, I set the pencil down a little harder then IT deserved and padded to the bed. It gave a nice whump as I flopped down on it. That wasn't how life worked. Everything had strings attached. Everything. All good things must come to an end.
I just wish I wasn't stuck wondering when my sudden good thing would come to an end.
...
Bzzz bzzz bzzz
I woke up with a jolt a I heard the alarm go off. Did I fall asleep? Apparently, because my phone said 6:00.
"Ughhh..." I whined and flopped back on the bed. I was tired and lazy. I didn't want to go to school. Unfortunately though, the law demanded it.
A good hour and a half later, I was ready. Ashton had offered to drive me to school so I sat outside my front door, downing coffee. I'm sure I looked awful. I had thrown my hair up into a bun and just threw on a t-shirt and jeans. No makeup, no jewelery, and no shame.
Ok, well, maybe a little bit of shame.
He pulled up a minute later and I padded to his car with a yawn. After I had climbed in and smiled sleepily at him he laughed. "I guess your not a morning person."
"Morning people belong to the devil." I grunted and he laughed harder as he pulled away from the curb.
"Did you at least sleep well?" He asked with a grin.
"As well as I could in this damn heat."
