Chapter 4

That's Kat in the media.

I imagined her to look like Tori Kelly. :)

Unedited. 

Ashton was dreading this day. The first day of school.

Calum woke him up at 8 in the morning; the raven-haired boy jumped on his bed and threw pillows at him until Ashton got up.

He got dressed and put on his shoes before he rushed to the bathroom and brushed his teeth and somewhat neatened up the mop on his head. "You're gonna miss breakfast." Calum said as he poked his head in.

Ashton shrugged, going back to his bedroom and grabbing his phone and bag before going downstairs with Calum. "Ash you haven't said anything all morning, you alright?"

No I'm tired from sitting up all night thinking about that freaking ring. And I'm nervous and scared.

"I'm fine." He gave Calum a smile and grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl on the kitchen bench. "Bye mum." Ashton and Calum called out but Joy stopped Ashton and Calum stopped walking as well.

"Yeah mum?" He asked, turning around. She kissed each of their cheeks and passed Ashton something. Ashton looked down at the object and frowned. He hated wearing his glasses; they made him look stupid.

He looked back up at joy with a pout. "Don't give me that look, you said last night that you needed more cont-" "Yes, I know. I have to go. Bye." But She continued to talk anyway. Ashton grumbled and put his stupid glasses on.

"Love you mum, see you after school." He said and kissed her cheek before leaving with his 'brother'.

Calum and Ashton got to school and got their schedules for their classes. They found their lockers which were fortunately next to each other and put their things in their before grabbing out what they needed for their first class.

"What do you have first?" Ashton asked, biting his lip in hopes his 'brother' would have the same class. Calum looked at his timetable and huffed. "History, you?"

Ashton whined quietly as he looked at his own. "I have English." He grumbled, tightening his hold on his books. Calum frowned a little but quickly smiled after as he looked behind Ashton.

"Couldn't help but overhear you have English." It was Michael and Luke was standing beside him on his phone. Ashton turned around and smiled a little and nodded. "Y-yeah...you?" Michael nodded and Ashton's ring finger was tingling again but he ignored it and gripped his books harder.

"M'gonna go walk Kat to class otherwise she'll stab me with her freakishly sharp nails. Bye guys." Luke said and gave Ashton a smile and pat on the shoulder before he was walking off to go find this 'Kat'.

"Who's Kat?" Calum asked, raising an eyebrow at Michael, as he made sure he had the right books. Michael shrugged, "Luke's girlfriend," Ashton felt a pull at his stomach after that and he didn't really know why, he shrugged it off and sighed.

"Let's get to class? Are you okay finding your class Calum?" Michael asked, his green eyes gazing over at the tan boy. Calum nodded and smiled, waving a hand in dismissal. "I'll be fine, I'll just ask someone if need be." He said and then he was walking off.

Calum had no problems talking and meeting new people and Ashton envied him.

"C'mon curly, don't want to be late on your first day, do ya?" Michael asked, interrupting the smaller boy's thoughts. "Oh, right...let's go." He mumbled and followed the red/black-haired boy through the halls of his new school.
