Always..

Chapter III

I return to the grden where Louis was chasing Liam around the pool whilst Zayn was trying to tan with Harry. Again no fires or police, all is going well. Making my wy back to my bag and phone i'm stopped by two boys with smug grins. Oh no.

"Can me and Lou have a hug Ash?" Harry asks giving a sly look towards Louis. I'm suspicious about this even although I nod my head giving them permission to wrap their arms around me, it was so fast but not before long I was swarmed by water, I resurfaced ready to attack Louis and Harry.

"I dislike you both strongly" Shuddering I climb out the pool fixing my bikini top that had shrunk a bit, the boys started whistling so I flipped them off wrapping my towel around me. I was stopped by the shril of my phone. "To be continued" I assure reaching for my phone that was still going off. "Hello?" I didn't look at caller ID.

"Ash, where are you!" I smile hearing Jakes voice.

"Jake!" I grin "I'm with the boys" I explain putting it on loudspeaker as I brush my tangled wet hair ignoring the boys comments.

"Babe, I need you we have maths together" He whines.

"Sorry Jake I'm busy" I tease pulling my hair into a nest of a bun on my head/

"Fine, I'll see you tomorrow for sure Ashy?" He asks.

"Sure thing bye " I laugh.

"Bye sweet" He laughs hanging up. I roll my eyes putting my phone in my bag turning back to the boys grinning from ear to ear.

"Ooooh who is Jake?" Liam quizzes lifting an eyebrow. I lift my hands in surrender

"My friend" 

"Jake O'Connel?" Niall frowns, when did he come downstairs? Him and Jake never got on so when Niall left Jake became the closest thing I had to a best friend. I nod my head relaxing in the chair. I don't want to make this obviously awkward in front of his friends "I don't like him" Niall states. Like I care I say to myself.

"I know" I roll my eyes. I didn't think he'd give a crap, I can be friends with whoever I want.

"I thought you said she didn't have a boyfriend" Harry complains to Niall. Flirtatious behiour ignored.

"She doesn't I don't think" Niall gives me a confused look but I take no notice then I had an idea maybe I should put him through what he did to me when he was with Ellie? Plus he deserves some revenge after 4 years. Scar, Alice and Jake all knew how I felt about Niall so I'd ask them to help me out with a plan. I start a group chat.

Me~ We need a plan for cold sweet revenge :D x

Scarlett~ Do I get to meet 1D? ;) ;) xx

Jake~ Besides the point Scar. I'm here to assist Ash :P x

Alice~ I don't think this is a smart thing to do, things like this always end badly :( xxx

Me~ But for me? x

Jake~ C'mon guys... Image the paper headlines now. Teens get revenge on Mullinger Hottie Niall Horan hahaaaa x

Scarlett~ Sure xx

Me~ Thankyou c: x Alice?

Alice~ Fine xxx

After an hour of despicable ideas flung amongst each other be pull out one of the oldest tricks in the book. Jealousy by fake dating.

"Oi Ashlyn, you don't have a hunky man do ya?" Louis shouts from the pool flicking water at me. Game on Niall.

"Yes" I yell plugging in my headphones listening to my music. Acting like my gay friend is my boyfriend should be interesting. I keep telling myself I don't have feelings towards Niall but I'll keep trying to supress them.
