Good Girls

t h i r t e e n

*Ashley POV*

It's been a month since we got here, it hasn't been so bad. My hair is brown again, Anna's is brownish blonde, Kass' is reddish blonde-brown. We are all doing fairly well in our subjects, still not 'good kids' though, just smart.

I walked into the same room we've been living in for a month and I sit down on my bed. This place really started to feel like home. Anna is on Kass' bed when I walk in. "Hey where's Kass? her birthday is tomorrow." Anna looks up and pushes her glasses up on her face. She points to one of the windows, the one that is open.

I look out to see Kass sitting on the grass smoking what's probably a cigarette she got from Michael, with her headphones plugged in.

I sat down next to her. "What are you listening to?" She takes out one of her headphones and smiles at me. "Blackbear." "Your birthday is in two days." She looked at me confused. "It is, isn't it? I must have forgotten." Her smile disappears. I patted her shoulder, then stood up. She put her head back onto the brick building, I smiled at her, climbing through the window.

"She-" "I know" Anna sighed closing her laptop. She stood up, smiled at me, then went to the window. 

I turned around and took my phone out of my pocket. I had one missed call and three texts. All from 'Cal💜'

Cal💜: science room @ 2
Me: y?
Cal💜: just be there

I sighed picking my headphones up from my dresser, plugging them into my phone. I put the ear buds in and shuffled my music, Message Man by TØP filled my head.

I walked the short distance to the science room seeing that it was 2:58 when I got there. I opened the door to see Calum at his desk on his phone. "H-hey" I said sitting on one of the lab tables. "Hey babe" he said smiling, standing up from his seat.

He stood in between my legs, my legs wrapped around his waist. I smiled, "Why did you want me here? it's Saturday, no class." He smirked at me pressing a quick kiss to my lips, before pulling away.

"I really like you." My ears shot up, I felt them turn into golf balls. "I like you too. But us would just be.. illegal." I frowned and looked at my hands. "You're 17 in 10 months you'll be 18, as long as it's nothing.. you know than it's fine." Calum put his index finger under my chin and pushed my head up. I stared into his beautiful brown eyes.

"Okay." I smiled at him. "O-okay? as in you'll like-" I cut him off by kissing his lips quickly "Yes." His smile was the biggest I've ever seen it. He hugged me, tight, and didn't let go for what seems like ages not that I'm complaining.

*Kass' POV*
I've always gotten a little sad during Christmas time. Considering my birthday is one week before Christmas, I haven't been holding up well.

I'm usually in Michaels office, because it seems like he's the only person that actually understands. I feel myself getting attached to him which I know of course isn't going to end well.

It was about 4am when I texted Michael. I couldn't sleep, I know sometimes he doesn't either.

Me: hey? are you up?

I laid my head back on my pillow for what seems like the 1,000 th time that night.

Mikey: hey yeah I am

I smiled knowing I'm not alone.

Me: i don't feel well at all :-(

Mikey: you can come to my room if you want.

Me: okay be right there

I got up slipping on some vans. I was wearing an oversized hoodie, and sleeping shorts.

I slipped out of the door quietly. I made my way to Michaels room.

Once I got there I opened the door to see Michael on his phone laying on his bed. "H-hi" He put his phone down and smiled at me lifting the blanket for me to go under it. "Hey angel." (a/n i wrote angle and i was dead.)

I got under the blanket, he pulled me closer to him. My back was to his chest and his arms were wrapped around my waist. He was softly singing always by blink-182. (i know another one im sorry but a/n blink has been a favorite for ages and i love them so much.)

"How are you lately?" Michael whispered making me fall back into reality from my small trance. "Okay I guess." I turn around I was now facing his chest, his arms still around my waist. I shoved my face into his chest. His scent calmed me a decent amount. At that moment I decided I couldn't hold it in any longer.

Unfamiliar water works started in my eyes. It felt safe, almost too safe. Michael rubbed my back as I cried. He told me it was going to be alright, like many people have told me before. This time it was different. I believed him.

*Annas POV*

It was Friday, there was nothing unusual about it. Honestly it just felt off. Tomorrow was Kass' birthday hopefully she will want to do something fun, she really hasn't been herself lately.

I was in first period- math class. Ashley was sitting next to me head on the desk- she might be sleeping. Kass has 3rd period math on Friday must suck for her. I laughed at the thoughts in my head.

"Good morning class." Mr. Hemmings said as he walked through the door. Echos of 'good morning' and 'morning' were said. "Good morning Mr. Hemmings." A voice from the front row- Avery.

God how much I hated Avery was unbelievable. Luke and I haven't spoken much, really at all since everything happened a couple of weeks back.

I started laughing uncontrollably, she is such a suck up it's actually hilarious. "Detention, that was very rude." Did he just write me a detention for laughing. "Write me all the ones you want I won't be attending." I looked at him. Lukes blue eyes stared right at me. "I'll see YOU after class."

Math class dragged on for an hour until the bell finally rang. I've truthfully never been so happy. I sat at my seat before everyone got up and left. "What do you want Mr. Hemmings?" He looked at me with sad eyes. "Please call me Luke." "No i rather not." I look down at my shoes. I don't want to look him in the eyes again I can barely distinguish the emotion they hold.

"You call Michael by his first name, Calum too, even Asht-" "Ashton? Yes I'm aware of my actions Mr. Hemmings." I looked up, new found confidence coursing though my veins.

"Please." You can HEAR the sadness in his voice. "I miss you so much I can't explain it. Seeing you just sitting there knowing you HATE me hurts more than anything. I'm so sorry Anna."

A single tear slid down his cheek. I cupped his face in my hands and wiped away some stray tears he let fall. I was silent he fell to the ground, breaking down. Lukes long legs were tucked into his chest his arms wrapped around them. It was child like, he looked so broken.

I sat down directly in front of him. He let his legs go and pulled me into him. His head was on my chest and he cried. "Shh Luke it's okay." My hear broke. He sniffled as he slowly started to stop crying.

Luke looked into my eyes. He pressed a quick kiss to my lips and I smiled. "Hey." I said wiping his face. "H-hi." his voice was raspy from crying. "I'm sorry" "I know it's okay." I flashed a sincere smile. "You may think I'm going crazy because we didn't talk for a while but I have a question."

God I think I like him, like alot. Being slightly nervous I just nodded wondering what he would ask me. "M-maybe you can go somewhere with me tomorrow." "Sure." I replied "Uh wait did you say tomorrow?" He nodded. oh my God. "Is tomorrow a bad time." YES my best friend... "No tomorrow is just fine."
