Chapter 9

"Calum, please, I beg you. I don't need to know the details of yours and Mike's make-" "But Ash...I just...Ah." Calum squealed and Ashton groaned, dropping his spoon into his cereal.

"Ah isn't exactly an expression, Cal." Calum glared at his curly-haired 'brother', throwing a fruit loop at him. "Shut up and let me finish before I drown you in your cereal."

"Calum I can't drow-" "Shut up!"

Ashton rolled his hazel eyes, getting up and taking his empty bowl to the sink.

"Hurry up or we'll be late for school." Ashton said. Calum let out an exasperated sigh. "You'll get to see Mikey." Ashton said in a singsong tone, drawling out the 'ey' in Mikey.

Calum immediately perked up, leaving his bowl of cereal as he rushed to grab his bag. "Let's go."

Ashton gathered his own things, following his 'brother' out the front door.

"Ashy."

Ashton turned away from getting his things from his locker as he heard someone call out for him. A grin spread across his face as he noticed Luke walking towards him, thought he smile slightly faltered as he saw the curly blonde female beside him.

Oh yeah.

Girlfriend.

"Hi Luke." Ashton greeted his friend before turning back around to grab his books.

Once he had his things ready, he closed his locker and faced the two. "Kat." He nodded towards Luke's stupid pretty girlfriend who smiled her stupid pretty smile back.

Ashton glanced towards Luke and then back to Kat awkwardly, gripping his books tightly. "Uh...yeah okay see you later." He blushed as he saw the cheeky smirk on Luke's face that Ashton had the idea that it was about last night's findings.

Ashton rushed off to his first class with red cheeks and a small smile.

At lunch Ashton wasn't alone this time. He had Michael this time and Ed was there too. Ashton ate his salad sandwich and laughed softly at Michael's lame joke.

"What's red and smells like blue paint?"

"What?"

"Red paint."

Yeah, very lame jokes that Ashton was ashamed to be laughing at.

Ashton grinned as it went silent and he turned to the black/red-haired boy. "Have fun with Cal last night?" Michael's cheeks immediately flushed red. "Um, psh what? Don't know what you-" "Calum told me." "Fûcking kiwi." Michael grumbled, taking a bit of his tuna sandwich that Ashton tried hard not to grimace at.

The poor tuna fish.

Ashton laughed at his blushing friend. "Aw, Mikey has a itty bitty cutie crush on my wittle brother." He cooed as he squished Michael's cheeks.

Michael groaned, slapping Ashton's hands away. "Shut up. Acting like a dick wont make yours any bigger." Michael smirked proudly at his insult.

Ashton's eyebrows raised and he chuckled slightly. "Oh, ouch. Nice cumback, did you scrape it from the back of your throat?"

Both boys were silent until Michael barked out a laugh and Ashton followed along with his loud giggly laugh.

"Luke, are you even listening to me?"

Luke nodded at his girlfriend's words, though his eyes and mind were focused on something else. He glared at Michael as he and Ashton were laughing together.
