Luke's POV
"Are we going to that party tonight?" Michael asks as he sits down with a bowl of Doritos.
"I'm getting sick of going to parties all the time." Ashton says, looking up from his phone for a slight second.
"That's because you have a girlfriend." I say. He's probably texting her right now. Ashton looks up and glares at me and locks his phone.
" We have to go. It's the most important party of the year. The whole school is invited. It's the last day of school. We have to go." Michael pleads. " Ashton you can bring your girlfriend."
"We're going." Calum says as he throws me a bottle of Coke. " If any of you like it or not. " I laugh. The last party of the year. The whole school is invites tonight.
" Fine." Ashton says.

I lean back against the porch railing and watch everyone screwed around outside wasted. I laugh as the bonfire explodes into flame and Calum stands beside me. " See anyone attractive yet?" He asks as he gives me another root beer.
I take a gulp of it and feel it slightly burn my throat. " No, I'm not getting laid tonight." I'm already feeling more tired as usual."
" You never know." Calum says " Michael is getting some right now." He says.
I laugh and fix my beanie. " I don't think I want to be laid for just the fun of it anymore." I say. I honestly don't. I want to have a real relationship like Ashton.
Calum looks at me weirdly. " Like Ashton?" He asks.
I nod. " I think this summer is going to be different."
Luke's POV
" Wake your lazy butt up." Ashton yells as he throws his pillow at me.
I groan and watch the pillow fall to the floor. " It's only noon. Why are you even here? " I ask. I look around the room. I'm at my house, my mum probably let Ashton in.
" You want to change like I did?" Ashton asks. I sigh. Calum doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut.
" I was tired when I told Calum that. It probably won't even happen. I'm not even gonna try." I sigh as I sit up. It's true, I'm still going to be the player that no one likes.
" Shut up." You're going to change, I know you will." Ashton says as he hands me a pair of Jeans and a shirt.
" We're going somewhere Anjolie Is waiting in the car."
" Why do we have to go?" Can't you go on a date yourself with Anjolie? " I ask. Anjolie is Ashton's girlfriend. She's really good for him. She's smart, she's kind, and pretty. I used to like her but now She's a good friend.
"Bye mum. " I smile as I wave to her from the kitchen.
She waves back at smiles.
" Hey Pukey." Anjolie says as I get in the back seat of the car.
" Shut up." I joke. Anjolie has always called me Pukey since I was really sick and puked on her. Ashton almost killed me then. " What's the point of going bowling again." I ask as Ashton drives away from the house.
" Like I said. We are trying to get you a girlfriend. A real girlfriend." Ashton simply says.
" And what if I don't want a girlfriend right now?" I sigh.
" Luke." It's summer. Wouldn't you like to be in a relationship with someone you loved? And actually had real sex ? " Anjolie asks.
" Technically, all sex is ' real Sex' I state." Like when a mans- "
" Luke!" Ashton warns.
" I'm just saying!" I exclaim. " I still don't understand though. I don't need a girlfriend. I can last without one." I whine.
Ashton sighs and turns into the bowling alley. " You're gonna have to deal with it. " Anjolie says.
I roll my eyes and follow Ashton and Anjolie inside the alley. I look around at all the people. There's a shit load of people here. I sigh as I change into my bowling shoes and choose my bowling ball. "Luke, stop being a baby." Ashton laughs as he grabs his Anjolie's ball.
" Yeah, yeah. Just go already." I say as I point to the lane.
+++
Did you see anyone? Eye flirt with anyone? Have eye sex with anyone? " Ashton asks as we take off our bowling shoes.
I laugh and roll my eyes. Everyone here was with their boyfriend/girlfriend. Except for me of course. " Nope." I simply say.
" You just don't have the charm like Ashton does." Anjolie giggles. Ashton smiles and kisses Anjolie's forehead before we give our shoes back. " Where are we going now?" She asks.
" Let's go out to eat." Ashton says.
" Come on I groan." I want to go home. It's a Saturday and Saturdays are sleeping days and those are days my mum makes cookies."
" Luke! If it makes you that happy we'll go to your place. Anjolie and I will eat your cookies." Your mum will make us food, and I'll invite Calum and Michael over. Then will you be happy?"
" Being alone Would be better." I state.
" Somedays, I don't understand why I'm even friends with you." Ashton says as he drags me out of the bowling alley whole holding Anjolie's hand and my arm.
Anjolie laughs as we reach the car and Ashton drives towards my house. " This was a horrible idea Anjolie. " Ashton says.
" Well I just thought it would be fun to try. " Anjolie giggles. I can't help but laugh in the backseat, and make Ashton laugh as we reach my house.
I walk in to see my mum in the kitchen. " Hi Anjolie." She smiles once she sees her. My mum absolutely loves Anjolie even though she isn't my girlfriend. Ashton's mum loves Anjolie too, like she's her daughter.
" Hey Liz." Anjolie smiles.
" I see how it is, not even a hello to your favorite son." I say as I take a cookie from the table and shove it in my mouth.
" Whatever Pukey." My mum says.
" You got her hooked on that too?!?" I ask Anjolie. Anjolie laughs and nods while my mum laughs. I roll my eyes and grab a bottle of soda. " Whatever, I'm going upstairs, you two can come, or leave. " I say as I take a handful of cookies and head up to my room.
I lay down on my bed hoping that they decide to leave. With my luck, they stayed.
I turn on Netflix and start watching American Horror Story. " This show turns Ashton on." Anjolie states. " We shouldn't watch this, unless you want Ashtom to jerk off in the bathroom. " Anjolie giggles.
" Shhh." Ashton half whispers as he holds Anjolie close to him in a chair in the corner of the room. " He doesn't need to know that."
I laugh and change the show to something else. " I'd rather not have Ashton jerk off in the bathroom." I laugh.
