Chapter 1

I stumbled into my house and kicked the door closing it behind me. My back leaned against the wall as I clutched my bleeding nose. I got in a fight and ended up with a broken nose which fucking hurt. The dumbass is lucky the cops came because I would've murdered him with my bare hands.

"Ashton?" Mom called from the kitchen. Shit.

"I need to take a shower mom I'll be down in a few." I said trying to sneak upstairs.

I was already in a shit mood and I didn't need her worrying about the blood pouring down my face. Not to mention she would probably ground me for getting in another fight.

"Ashton Irwin where-" she stopped mid sentence and I didn't need to turn around to know I got caught.

"What did you do?" her voice was accusing and angry.

"Devon" was all I replied. I couldn't stand Devon, we constantly got into fights and he's a huge pain the ass

She grabbed my arm spinning me around to face her so she could examine my face. She led me to the sofa and grabbed a small first aid kit she bought after my frequent wounds from fighting.

I stared blankly at the wall as she wiped away the blood wincing every now and then. "Aren't you going to say anything?" It's not like I wanted her to but her silence was driving me insane.

"I don't know what to say anymore Ashton. I've tried everything grounding you, counseling, hell you even got sent to juvy and that didn't help. I'm just tired of this." She finished bandaging my nose and put the kit away.

"Dinner's ready." she announced heading back into the kitchen.

I jogged upstairs into my room I wasn't hungry anyway. I stood in front of the mirror of my bathroom staring at my reflection.

My eyes were tired with bags underneath, my nose was covered in white bandages which were turning red, my lips formed a scowl, my piercings were like a mask that guarded me, and lastly my tattoos which held more meaning than just ink on my skin.

I needed something, something that would bring the life back behind my eyes. I took a shower scrubbing off the filth from the day before climbing into bed in just my briefs and falling asleep.

Too soon my stupid alarm vibrated waking me up from my sleep. My nose was throbbing so I rolled out of bed in search of painkillers. As soon as I got up my phone beeped. I picked it up an read the message from Michael.

The plan is in action -Clifford

Shit I completely forgot about our prank on Mr. Hilton. He probably discovered the tape by now and was either removing or done removing it.

There was no time to waste to I pulled on black skinny jeans and black tank. I brushed my teeth and threw a beanie over my hair since I didn't want to bother having to style it.

I slung my backpack over my shoulders and scaled down the stairs sliding my phone into my jeans pocket. There was no time for breakfast so I slipped on my shoes and hurried to my car.

As the engine started up I grabbed my phone and typed a group message.

Give me an update on Hilton

I backed out of the driveway and headed towards school, this plan needed to succeed. A few beeps came from my phone once I had reached the school parking lot.

He just finished taking off the tape! Get your ass in gear -Hood

The old prick is gonna be there soon -Hemmings

This is bad, really fucking bad. I jumped out of the car and slammed the door hearing the car beep as I locked it. As I walked to the classroom I told the guys to meet me there, I wouldn't be able to do this on my own.

The door came in sight and Calum and Michael were already getting it opened. I was going to ask where Luke was but there was no time for that.

Once the door unlocked we made a beeline for the desk. The fucking idiot left the tests stacked right on top. I smiled at the boys and grabbed the papers immediately putting them in the shredder. I kept an extra copy and handed it to Calum to hold.

"Luke's holding up Hilton but we gotta hurry." Calum announced.

Michael took the shredded paper and scattered it ontop of the desk. This was perfect no test and Hilton would go completely insane. Everything seemed a little too perfect but then I realized something.

"What if he has the test on his computer, he could just print more copies."

"Already on it." Michael smirked pulling out a thermos from his bag. He unscrewed the top and poured the contents onto the keyboard.

"Nice one Clifford." I said patting his back in satisfaction. "Now let's get the hell out of here."

We smiled triumphantly that is until we turned to find our pissed off teacher with Luke beside him. "Principal's office now." he ordered through his teeth. Fuck.

We all sat side by side waiting for the principal to show up. One more minute, if we only had one more minute we would've made it out successfully. I've gotton caught so many times but this time I was really worried.

Usually the principal takes pity on my mom and just gives me detention or suspension. But after what my mom said last night I'm not sure I'm getting out of this one.

After what seems like hours Mr. Delgado walked in with a coffee in hand. He sat down behind the desk and looked over some papers. My foot tapped anxiously against the tile floor, I just want to get the hell out of here. I hope I get suspended so I can spend a few days at home and out of here.

He placed the papers down and leaned back in his seat eyeing the four of us. "Explain what happened." he spoke up for the first time since he entered the room.

I learned from past experience that keeping quiet got you no where so I took a deep breath and explained. "Today Mr. Hilton was going to give us a test and said it was going to be 80% of our grade. We were obviously going to fail so we wanted to buy us some extra time."

"So you surrounded his car in tape, shred the tests, and ruined his computer because you were afraid you were going to fail?" he asked not sounding convinced.

I nodded even though that wasn't completely true. We did this because we wanted to mess with Hilton and getting rid of the test would be a bonus.

I watched as Mr. Delgado thought about what to do. "Well unfortunately I can't just let you boys off easily. This is considered harassment and destruction of property. I have to talk this over with the school board but until then you have detention and community service. I will notify you boys by the end of the week." he dismissed us as he typed some things into his computer.

I got up and and left with the boys right behind me. I've never gotten in this much trouble. Sure I went to juvy that one time but it was because I got caught skipping school and they just held me there until my mom picked me up. This was different, and the worst part was my mom wouldn't be able to help.
