How We Became

Chapter 7

"WAKE UP YOU BITCH! TODAY'S THE DAY!!!!" Blake yelled.

I shot straight up, instantly excited that Luke and the boys were coming.

I hop up and despite Blake's protests, pick out an outfit. I pull on white ripped skinny jeans and Green day shirt. I put on black converse and pull on Luke's hoodie, just for the occasion.

The boys' parents have been driving back and fourth all week setting up their houses so the boys don't even have to move in barely. Only a few things in their rooms have to be put away.

Blake and I get into his car and drive to Luke's house where we all agreed to meet up.

We see Liz's car in the driveway meaning they're here. I jump out of the car and run to the door, letting myself in.

"LUKE!" I yell and practically tackle him in a hug.

"Woah. Haha hey there!" Luke laughs.

"LUKE!" Blake yells and tries to hug him but Luke dodges it, causing Blake to face plant on the floor.

"Where's everyone else?" I ask.

"At their houses. Duh. They aren't here yet. You guys wanna help me hang up my posters?" Luke responds.

"Sure." Blake and I answer.

We follow him up the stairs to his new room. The walls are a dark grey. Luke hands us each a box of posters.

"Hang them wherever but make sure that none of the same bands are right next to each other." Luke says.

We begin hanging. Man he has a lot of posters.

When I'm down to my last two posters Blake tackles me from behind, "No you bitch. I want to finish first."

"No way! I'm winning this you dick!" I push him off and hurry to hang up one of the posters.

With a war cry, he launches himself at me again. I punch him in the shoulder and he trips me. Blake sits on top of my and hangs up a poster, he has two left.

I knew him and the back and take the chance to stand up. I hang up two corners of my posters before Blake throws me over his shoulder.

"LET ME DOWN! I'll tell your mom!" I yell and puns on his back.

Blake just hums and calmly hangs up his last two posters.

"All done!" He says proudly, putting me down.

"Jerk." I mumble and finish hanging my poster.

We look over to see Luke staring at us in amusement.

"You guys are vicious best friends," He says then smirks, "Oh and by the way, I won a half hour ago."

Blake and I share a look then tackle his tall body.

Just as Blake was about to give him a wet willy, we hear a voice.

"Yoo hoo."

I look at Luke's doorway. It's Ashton.

"Ashton!!!" I say, jumping off of Luke. I throw my arms around him.

"Rory!" He yells, hugging me back.

Michael and Calum come up. Michael blushes a deep red when I hug him. After ten minutes of welcoming everyone, Liz comes up.

"Hey Rory, how about you and Blake show the boys around town?"

"Sure!" I agree.

We usher the boys down to Blake's car and get in.

We start our tour at the school, then the grocery store, the golf coarse, the laser tag place, the movie theater, and finally our favorite ice cream place where we knew our friends would be.

We walk in and find Justin, Leo, Gavin, Taylor, and Lily.

I lead everyone over to them, "Hey guys! These are the guys we've been telling you about. That's Luke, this ones Michael, this is Ashton, and that's Calum." I say, pointing at each boy as I name them.

"Hey guys! I'm Leo, this is my twin brother Justin, the nerd on his phone is Gavin, the blonde chick is Lily, and the other is Taylor." Leo says, also pointing at each.

Taylor and Calum lock eyes. I already feel the connection.

They automatically engage in a conversation together. Soon everyone is talking about how the boys are from Australia.

A few hours later everyone goes home. We decided that we weren't all gonna hang out tonight since the boys were exhausted from driving and unpacking.

After saying good bye and dropping the boys home, Blake and I go to his house.

I much prefer his house over mine. I decide to stay over.

After changing into pajamas we get into bed. I know what you might be thinking. No, this isn't a couple-ish thing for us. We've been doing it our whole life. It's like a routine.

He puts his arm around me and I curl into his chest and close my eyes.

-----------------------------------------

The next morning I wake up to the smell of bacon. Yuck. But that also means breakfast.

I trudge down the stairs and into the kitchen where Blake's mom is making breakfast. I sit next to his dad. His mom hands me a cup of coffee. I slowly drink it.

Blake comes down with wet hair. I'm guessing he took a shower.

Finally breakfast is done and after feasting on pancakes, I go back to my house.

After taking a shower and getting dressed, I hear my phone go off. I answer it.

R:Hello?
A:Hey it's Ashton!
R:Hey!
A:Blake gave me your number cause he was too lazy to call. He wants to know what you feel like doing today?
R:Well I was gonna go to the mall...
A:CAN WE COME?
R:Why?
A:So we can go shopping?
R:Sure. Tell Calum Taylor will be there. Be here in 20 minutes.
A:Kay. Byeee
R:Bye

Then we hung up.

I pull on some white short shorts and a walking dead t-shirt. I pull my hair into a ponytail and put on some sunglasses.
I hear a knock at the door.

I open it, revealing Taylor.

"Hey!" She says, walking in.

"Hey. Is it okay that the boys are coming?" I respond.

"Sure thing as long as Calum's there." She's says winking.

"Oooo got a thing for Calum?" I ask.

She shrugs, "He's hot and seems really cool."

"I ship it." I say.

I hear knocks on the door but befire I can open it, Michael barges in.

"Hey girls! Do you have somewhere I can hide? Calum is coming after me!" He says hurriedly.

I laugh and say "Go up the stairs and the first door on the right is mine. Go in there and go into my closet."

He thanks me and runs. A few seconds later Calum comes in, "WHERE'S FUCKING MICHAEL?!!" He shouts.

"Upstairs in the first room on the right in the closet." Taylor tells him.

He dashes up the stairs.

"Why'd you tell him?" I demand.

She blushes slightly and shrugs.

The other boys come in and follow the sound of the yelling upstairs. They drag Michael and Calum down.

"Let's go." Blake says and ushers us to the car.

Not all of us can fit so I make Taylor sit on Calum's lap, Luke on Michael's, and Ashton, Blake, and I get our own seats.

Once adjusted, we speed to the mall.

This is gonna be interesting.
