[what ashton looks like in the story^]

Ashton was gathering his books from his locker as he felt a presence behind the locker door. He shut it and saw it was his kiwi best friend, Calum Hood. A smile appeared on his face when he saw him, the two boys are great friends and had been since year five. Ashton noticed that Calum was wearing his own jersey with his number; signalling that tonight he has a game.

"Are you coming to the game?"Calum ask once they start heading to their next class; which they both have pre-calculus for the next hour.

"I'm sorry Cal,"Ashton sadly sigh."I really wish I could be there but I have to work."

"No fair."he pout at him, causing Ashton to giggle.

"Work is work and I need to make money."

"If the team wins, I'll suggest having our celebration at Gregg's Bar and Grille."he said with a smile as Ashton let out a small sigh. He always get nervous when people from his school come and eat where he works at. It will kind of make up for not being at Calum's game he thought.

The two went inside the classroom and sat down next to each other since the teacher place them together without knowing that they will be a distraction. Ashton zoned out and stared out the window, not caring what the teacher is teaching them in pre-calculus.

Ashton knew that this class is pure torture, but he still manage to get good grades on his homework and tests.

After that torture was over, he went to another class with Calum. The two went to sit next to each other and waited for the teacher until someone caught Ashton's eyes. He glared when he saw the blonde hair and blue eyes. It was the one and only, Luke Hemmings.

He too, was wearing a jersey. Luke is the team captain for the school's hockey team; Sydney Badgers. Ashton didn't like Luke since he thinks Luke is full of himself and an attention hogger. He likes having people praising him when he scores a point, and Ashton hates it. He's just happy that they don't talk, but Calum is close with Luke.

"Yo Hood! Be early tonight!"Luke call to Calum when Luke saw his presence.

"You got it captain!"

Ashton nearly cringed at what Calum said. What? Are they forced to call Luke 'captain' because he's the team captain and want to rub it in their faces?

"What?"Calum asked once he saw the cringe on his face.

"Did you just call him 'captain'?"

"I mean, he is the team captain. Plus I was too lazy to say his actual name."he shrug.

While the teacher was talking about the country's economy, Ashton could feel someone staring at him. He move his eyes and saw it was Luke that was staring at him. He rolled his eyes since he didn't want to be bothered by him. What did he want? Ashton didn't care, he just wanted Luke to stop staring at him.

The school day was already over as Ashton huffed, knowing that he has to work tonight. It's going to be more busy since the school is going to have a game versing their rival, plus it's a Friday. He grabbed his things and headed to his locker to get his bag when he saw a note that was folded up.

Ashton curiously opened the note, it was the first note he ever gotten from anyone in his last twelve years of schooling.

Hopefully seeing you at the game tonight

Ashton rolled his eyes at the note before stuffing it in his bag. The person is wrong since they won't see him at the game, he grabbed his bag before heading out of the school. He knew that Calum wasn't going to walk home with him since he's at the locker room.

It wasn't long until he got to his house and entered the front door. He looked in the family room and saw his father falling asleep on the couch with a bottle in his hand. Which made Ashton roll his eyes at the sight.

He head up to his room and changed into his work uniform. Knowing that he starts working in an hour, he went to do his homework just to get it done and over it. Before he knew it, his phone alarm went off and he put on his pink Converse and headed out of the door. He didn't bothered with saying anything to his father and his mother was still at work.

He walked to work since he doesn't own a car yet. He's saving up to buy one for himself...and it's like he's a lightyear away. It didn't take him long to walk since the restaurant wasn't far from where he lives.

He walks through the front door and headed to the back to get his little black apron that ties around his waist. Which held his name tag and his decorated notepad so he could write down the customer's orders. He place his phone in the apron and went to the front so he could help serve.

At the moment the restaurant was fairly empty, a few people in booths, tables, or at the bar watching football. Ashton served a couple groups of people and family. As he was carrying a tray full of food, a huge crowd swarm at the front. Creating a loud environment at the restaurant and he saw Calum.

Ashton hurriedly gave the family their food as a waitress was placing the hockey team at a huge table, which was fit for huge parties like them.

"Alright, Ashton's going to be your waiter tonight."she informed while giving each of them menus.

He sighed before going up to the hockey team. He knew they weren't bad people, he just didn't like them. He didn't like serving people from his school.

"Hello I'm Ashton, I'll be your waiter for tonight. How may I start you off?"

"Hey Irwin! What's up?"Kai smiles. Ashton just knew him from pre-calculus.

"I'm doing great,"he smiled as he wrote down  the drinks from a few lads on the hockey team.

Most of them wanted beer as a few had soda since they didn't feel like drinking or they were underage.

"What would you want sir?"Ashton ask Luke, not really fond with his existence.

"I'll have a beer and did you come to the game?"

"No I did not, I was here."he retort while writing down Luke's order.

"We won!"Calum exclaim, making the hockey team cheer out loud since they beat their rival.

Ashton just knew that this is going to be a handful.

Ahahahahaha I know this was boring but I promise it will get better once the story progress.
