Chapter 32: Package for Teddy Aspen?

Chapter 32:

I strongly suggest you read the last chapter (chapter 31) so you wouldn't be lost in this chapter :)

"You'll never guess what I just saw!" Ashton announced as he busted through the door with a sandwich and Coke in hand.

Only one person looked up and that was Michael.

"Ericka Johnson running slow-mo?"

Ashton threw the sandwich at Michael's face, "Don't be disgusting!"

"If you tell us, will you shut up afterwards?" Calum butted in as he clicked buttons on the console. Calum and I were playing Black Ops 3 in his room while Michael was on his laptop. I honestly do not care what Ashton saw that's why I didn't say anything.

Ashton opened the can and plopped himself on the foot of the bed near Michael. "I just saw Roxette and Teddy spying on Ross Matthews!"

I instantly looked away from the screen then I heard Calum cheer beside me. That second I took my eyes off the screen made him win.

"Teddy? You mean Teddy Aspen?" I asked, my attention all on Ashton now. Ashton was now smiling triumphantly at me.

Calum turned off the TV and turned to me, "Again, how many Teddies do you know?"

I smacked him in the head which earned a laugh from Michael.

"Anyway, I caught them spying on Ross while he was practicing shirtless. They even denied it when I asked them about it."

Wasn't I on the field during that time too? I'm pretty sure no one could miss Ross' rock hard abs. He always try to show it off.

"Are you 100% sure that they were spying on Ross?"

Ashton shrugged, "Looks like it."

I turned to Michael, "Don't you have anything to say about this, Mikey? Roxette is spying on a guy that isn't you!" Roxette's love life has never been my business but I needed to get someone on my side.

Michael shrugged and closed his laptop, "I didn't tell you this guys because I thought it wasn't a big deal. Roxette and I are no longer 'dating'. If that's what we've been doing."

Three of us turned to look at him with our mouths hanging open. Calum was the first to speak up. "What the hell man? Why are you so nonchalant about this?"

"Yeah and prom is coming up, who will be your date? And what about Roxette?" piped in Ashton.

Michael rolled his eyes, "Prom schrom! You don't always need a date for that! Besides, it was a mutual decision. Roxette and I weren't just clicking. That's all."

Ashton stood up from his place and patted Michael on the shoulder, "That's so brave, man. I wish we all could see things your way."

"Don't push it Ashton" Calum warned. Then they started to banter which I couldn't join in because my mind keeps on bringing me back to Ross and Teddy.

"If you're finished, put your test paper on my desk and sign here." the proctor announced when the first student got up to pass his paper.

I fidget in my seat and chewed on the top of my pen. I'm almost done with my Maths test but I want to be sure so I did more double checks here and there and checked my formulas and equations. And now I'm contemplating if I should surrender now or double check it again. Or should I say triple check.
