Katelyn________

After lunch.

I head to my last class of the day which is English. I sit in the second row next to the window. A few seconds later the seat next to, in front and behind  me are filled by Hannah, Ruby, Jennifer and Rebecca. They're all just staring at me.

"Okay. Explain." Hannah says.

"Excuse me?" Who the frick does she think she is. From 8:23am she's been my ex best friend. She doesn't exactly deserve to know my private life anymore.

"At lunch girl. They guys you were sitting with. Mine explaining and getting us into that group?" Ruby batting her eyelashes at me. What. And batting her eyelashes as well? Who does she think I am? A dude?

"What are you talking about?" I fake confused because I just want the class to start so this conversation can end. Basically I'm stalling.

"You were sitting with Luke Hemmings, Calum Hood, Ashton Irwin and more importantly, Michael Clifford had his arm around you. Are you into dating seniors? I thought you hated that sorta thing?" Hannah sorta rudely comments. "You say it's weird and unnatural." Okay. I never said that. I just said it's weird that you date someone graduating that year when you start the year. That's all. I never said it's unnatural. That's a stretch.

"Why does this matter to you? And not I'm not dating him. Why are you bugging me about this?"

"Look, all were saying is next time you're sitting by them, we'll join you so you're not so lonely. I mean come on, if you're sitting by them they must not care who sits by them." Jennifer says.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Is she calling my ugly?

"Honey, you're not the nicest looking apple in the tree." Rebecca clarifies. They just called me ugly.

"Thanks, that's much appreciated." The sarcasm drips from my voice as the teacher finally walks in.

"Okay class, I have something important straight after school so you just all have free time, just keep it down so I can prepare. It's a very important meeting that could end up with me getting paid more." The teacher says before some students pulls out there phones. Some even start writing all over the white board. Two start chucking around a rugby ball as well. I pull out my  phone and text Michael.

K- You in class?

He replies a few minutes later.

M- What do you think? Of course I'm not. I'm supposed to be in math.

K- Is one of your mates giving you a ride home?

M- Ashton is but he's right next to me reading over my shoulder.

K- Is he giving anyone else a ride home?

M- No. Calums staying for football tryouts and Luke's moral support and his ride home.

K- Can you rescue me from this hell hole and can we ditch? More importantly can you get me away from the bff ditcher and the 3 fakies?

M- Happily. What room are you in?

K- 406, freshman English class

5 minutes later theres a knock on the door and two heavily tattooed guys walk in. One with sandy brown hair and one with red hair. The red hair is my brother.

"Excuse me boys, can I help you." Mr Alfreado says. The entire class shuts up. All girls stare. Especially Hannah. She's eyeing up Ashton.

"Uhh yeah," Michael starts. "We're here to get Katelyn." Eyes snap to me.

"Well you can't just take a student out of school. That's illegal, especially when you don't know her." Is the teacher trying to defend me?

"No, it's all okay. She'll be fine." Michael clearly doesn't want to say were related. I thank the fact he's trying to. Imagine explaining that to everyone, more importantly Hannah.

"Sorry boys. You can't just take a student." Mr tries to shoo them out when Michael suddenly bursts:

"Shut up, and let me take my f*****g sister!" Everyone is silent. Michael stares at me and realise this is the cue to grab my bag and follow him. So of course I do. The four girls stare as I follow my now pissed brother and his friend down the hall and out of school. I trail behind as they climb into Ashton's car. I climb into the back seat when Ashton finally speaks.

"Michael, are you okay? Like as in okay okay?"
"That teacher was refusing to let us take Katelyn -"

"What do you expect Mikey? It's the first anyone has heard of us being siblings. You guys are know around school for bad reasons. But not gonna lie, he took it a bit far." Michael breathes heavily before carrying on a normal conversation.

"So anyway." Ashton starts the car and starts driving. "How was your day at school Katelyn. I know how your day went Ashton." He adds the last part about Ashton when he opens his mouth and tries to speak.

"Apart from having my best friend ditching me, getting called ugly and four girls basically claiming the next time I sit by you guys there gonna come join me, I gotta sit by some really cool guys at lunch so that kinda makes up for it all."

"Wait, they called you ugly?" Ashton sounds confused when he says that.

"To quote 'Honey, you're not the nicest looking apple in the tree.' Right after saying, 'If you're sitting by them, they must not care who sits by them.'"

"This the three girls who took away your best friend?"

"Ex."

"Sorry EX best friend." MIchael asks.

"Yup. Three freshman girls who have a crush on all of you excpet Luke?

"Haha, shame Luke. Not even freshman want him."

"Ashton you should feel lucky. Out of all those four girls, two of them like you."

"Really?" Michael and I burst into laughter. "Great." he's so happy about it (not.)

"What about me?" Michael asks.

"I think Ruby liked you."

"Better than Luke."

We laugh and joke all the way back to Michael and I's house. Ashton drops us off before going back to his house. We walk in to find mum in the kitchen.

"I don't know exactly what happened that week you two were away, but I like the out come of it." Me and Michael are smiling and giggling to ourselves as we face our mother.

"Long a waited bonding mother, that's what happened." I reply. I then run upstairs and get changed before running down stairs and grab an apple before turning on the TV. I start watching a recorded episode of 'Supernatural' when a shirtless Michael walks and stops in front of me. I never realised just how many tattoos on his chest he has. And Michael has abs? 

"HEY! I have eyes. They're up here you know."

"Didn't realise how many tattoos on your chest you have." He plops down next to me and starts watching the show with me.

"How has IT been today?" Michael just in barely a whisper.

"Sorta got effected by it when Hannah ditched me. And when I was called ugly but other than that it was smooth." I whisper back.

"If anything happens tonight come see me. I may have found a way to help if it gets bad." Michael pats my knee before standing up. He kisses the top of my head before walking into the kitchen. 

"Okay. I really like the outcome of your bonding session." Mum says as she walks past. She heads to the spare room and walks out with a massive blanket. She chucks it on me before walking up stairs.

"THANKS MUM!" 

When did we get this?

When did the junk room be converted into a spare room?
