Green-haired girl. (5sos fanfic)

20

I walk outside in silence with Luke for a bit. It's not quite dark out yet, which is nice.

Usually when there's silence between me and the boys, I don't mind. But right now I do, it's a very uncomfortable and awkward silence.

I stare at my feet as we walk and I can feel Luke looking at me, making me even more uncomfortable.

"Stop looking at me, I don't like it" I tell him.

"Oh-uh, sorry?" He says.

A few more minutes of unbearable silence pass by.

"Well, aren't you going to say something? Or can we go back now?" I ask him.

"No, I don't want to go back, we need to talk" he says.

"Ok, then say something" I plead.

"Why?"

"Why what?" I ask confused.

"Why is all that stuff in your dashboard?" He says, not looking at me.

"Um, can we go sit first?" I ask Luke, pointing at a picnic table at the park not too far away.

We make our way over to the bench and Luke looks me right in the eyes and nods his head as if telling me to start.

"I don't really feel comfortable talking about this" I say shifting around on the cold bench.

"Please Kace?" He says.

"Basically, my tumblr is a whole other side of me that nobody else knows. Tumblr is my getaway where I can express myself and it makes me feel good" I say while fiddling with my ring on my left index.

"But why? Do you?" He says while moving his gaze from my face to my wrist.

"Um, yeah but only sometimes"

"Oh Kace.." Is all he says.

I dont want to tell Luke more. I have already never told anyone about this and I have a real hard time trusting people, so that's all I want to say to him.

"Can you keep this between us?" I ask him.

"Of course, I won't tell anyone. It's not really my secret to tell"

I give him a weak smile and say "ok, well I'm not really in the mood to tutor anymore. I'm just gonna go home and rest. Could you please tell Ashton I'm sorry and that we could maybe study some other time?"

"Yeah, I'll tell him," he says. "And I'm sorry Kace."

"It's alright, it's not your fault" I tell him and I can feel the tears coming.

"See you tomorrow Luke"

"Bye" he says before I get up and walk away.

*Ashton's POV*

Well that was weird. First, Kace came downstairs and she seemed worried or like se was thinking too hard or something.

Then, Luke came downstairs and said they needed to talk? Talk about what? I'm so confused. And a little jealous. Even though I don't like studying or doing homework or any of that, I do like spending time with Kace. I like that we've gotten to know each other better over the past few months.

Luke and Kace have been gone for about 15 minutes now. I was getting kind of worried and was about to phone Luke, when he came through my front door. Alone.

"What's up mate?" I asked him.

"Oh, um not much. But Kace isn't coming back to tutor you tonight. She just decided to go home instead."

"But did she say why? I mean all her stuff is still here?" I say confused.

"Yeah, I guess she'll pick it up later or you can give it to her at school or something." He says.

"Er ok, what did you guys talk about?" As soon as I asked Luke that he looked up at me and looked a bit worried for a moment, but then his features calmed over.

"Not much, but she said she was tired and that's why she went home"

"Oh ok, so what do you wanna do then?" I asked Luke, since I was free now.

"I don't know man, I'm kinda tired too so I think I might just go home. I'll go say bye to Cal and Mikey first though."

"Alright, see you at school" I say to him.

~~at school the next day~~

*Kaylee's POV*

I am currently running around my house trying to dry my hair, pick out an outfit, attempt to do my makeup and eat some brekkie.

I stayed up until about 330 last night, worrying about the fact that Luke sort of knows some stuff about me that I was hoping he or any of the boys never would. I just hoped he could keep this to himself. He needs to.

Having stayed up so late, I accidentally slept in Past my alarm and now was running really late.

"Ugggh where is my backpack?" I yell in frustration. I then remember that I left it at Ashton's yesterday evening. Great, now I will have to stop there on the way to school to gather my things. Hopefully he's still going to be home when I pass by. If not, well I'm practically screwed.

As soon as I'm ready, I put on mittens, a hat, some boots and pack an extra pair of indoor shoes for at school in a plastic bag.

I step outside into the cold, dry air and walk faster than normal to make up time and because I was pretty sure I was going to get frostbite or something like that from the weather.

I really need to get a car.

After about 3-5 minutes of walking, I hear a car honking behind me and then someone pulls up beside me.

"Need a ride?" Ashton says with a smirk on his face.

"Do I ever" I say climbing into the passenger seat.

"Thanks so much, it's actually so cd outside" I tell him.

"Yeah I know, it's awful," he says, "by the way, your bag and books are in the backseat."

"Thanks! I was so worried that I would hav to go without them today!" I say.

When we get to school he drives to the car park at the back.

"Thanks again for driving me today Ash, you have no idea how much I appreciate it" I say giving him a smile.

"It's no problem really" he says grinning back an putting his arm around my shoulders in a friendly way.

He stays like that when we walk into school too. I notice people staring at us and whispering. I quickly remove myself from Ashton's arm.

"Everything ok?" He asks.

"People are staring. I guess they're just not used to seeing the green-haired freak with the popular guy" I say looking down.

Ashton just gives me a sympathetic smile and says "please, you are not a freak. I think you're kinda cool actually." This only makes me blush.

Thank god my cheeks are already rosy from the cool air outside and my blush isn't noticeable.

I make my way over to my locker. Great, Missy and her friends, my ex-friends are there. As usual, I ignore them and put my coat and things into my locker. They had all stopped talking when I arrived so I did what I needed to do as quickly as possible and walked away.

I still had a few minutes before class started, so I made my way to the bathroom, locked myself in a stall and waited for about 10 minutes until the bell rang. This was my go-to spot when I had extra time. I mean, it's not like I was going to hang around my locker and so I just come here. Like everyday.
