It was rather a busy night at Ashton's job as he was rushing towards different booths and tables in order to keep the customers rather satisfied. He sighed when he saw the front door open, signalling that more customers want to eat here. He couldn't complain since he would hopefully receive more tips.

Ashton went straight ahead to the customer that's now being placed at a booth.

"Hello, I'm Ashton and I will be your waiter tonight. How may I start you off?"Ashton inform while giving the customer their menu. He looked up and scowl to see it was Luke and his best friend, Michael Clifford.

"Hey Ashton! I didn't know you work here!"Michael smiles at the dirty blonde. Ashton didn't have a problem with him, so he chuckled at his comment before responding,"Yeah, I've worked here almost a year now."

"Hey Ashton."Luke said with a smile, hoping that he would have a friendly conversation with the dirty blonde boy.

"Hi. What would you like to drink?"he ask the two while holding his notepad, waiting to write down their orders. Both boys wanted Pepsi as he wrote it down.

"What about appetisers?"

"Your well-known nachos."Michael ordered as Ashton wrote it down before getting their drinks.

Now Luke knows he works here, he's just going to eat here at any given time and Ashton is annoyed by that. Bad enough he has to deal with him at school. He couldn't snap at Luke like he could at school, he wanted the customers to like and respect him.

He sighed before coming back to their booths, giving them their drinks and nachos. He asked them if they were ready to order or they needed more time. Luckily they knew what they wanted as Ashton wrote it down on his notepad.

"Anything else?"

"Your number?"Luke questioned with a smile, only to leave Michael silently laughing.

"Never in a million years Hemmings."he spat before walking away.

Luke look at the table in embarrassment as Michael was quietly dying of laughter just across from him. He was also laughing because Ashton rejected Luke.

"Oh my goodness,"Michael sighed once he calmed down."Luke Hemmings, star of the hockey team, got rejected."

"Shut the fuck up Mike, it's not like you've been rejected a million times."

And sure, it made Michael shut up as he grumbled something incoherent under his breath. Luke turned around to take a quick glimpse of Ashton at work. It made Luke fall a little more for the dirty blonde since he cooed at Ashton's smaller figure. How he was shorter than his other male coworkers since they were all around Luke's height.

He also liked how the smaller teen would be so concentrated on his job, making sure he got the orders correct.

"Luke...earth to Homo! Goddamn boy stop staring at Ashton!"Michael snap, making Luke stop staring at the dirty blonde and look at the jet black haired teen.

A chuckle left Michael's mouth, he could tell that his best friend is slowly falling for the dirty blonde teen that barely talks to anyone. Michael had nothing against Ashton, he's not like how it is in movies—best friends with a popular person and hates any unpopular people and makes fun of them for no reason. He is extremely friendly and outgoing, he talks to everyone in any social groups.

He talked to Ashton before, it was on rare occasions since Ashton doesn't like having conversations with anyone. Michael thinks it's cute how his best friend is crushing on someone, he couldn't help but mentally awed.

"Such a fucking hypocrite! You scold at me for staring yet you aren't even paying attention to me."Luke said while chuckling.

"Sorry...now what were you saying?"

Luke explained the story again, he was talking with his hands. At one point he extended his arms out, only to hit something and heard a huge crashing noise. He quickly looked and saw it was Ashton on the ground with their hamburgers and fries all over him and the ground.

A couple people laughed as some asked if he was alright. Ashton gave Luke a death glare, trying to maintain his tears as one of his coworkers helped him up.

"I am extremely sorry Ashton! I didn't see you—"

"Save it asshole."Ashton angrily spat at Luke, not caring if he cut him off. He was furious at the taller teen before walking back to the kitchen.

Guilt flooded Luke's body as he looked at his best friend. He was still gaping at what happened a minute ago. Another one of Ashton's coworkers went to clean up the mess since Ashton was humiliated.

"We'll get you another meal."the person informed the two before heading back.

"I can't believe I just did that."Luke sighed while laying his head on the table. He humiliated his crush at his job, making Ashton hate Luke more. That wasn't what Luke intend to do, he wanted Ashton to like him, not hate him more.

"I have a feeling that Ashton won't forgive you, buddy."Michael said, making Luke groan.

"I'll show him I'm sorry."was all Luke said until their new meal came.

After they finished their meal, Luke hadn't seen Ashton ever since the incident. Which made him even more sad, but he couldn't blame him. Luke gave Ashton and the other waiter a huge tip, hopefully to tell him that he was sorry.

Ashton came out of the men's room after they left. He was angry at what Luke did, he cleaned up his tears and made sure that no other food were stuck in his hair.

He was about to go serve another table but was stopped by his manager."I think it's best if you went home early, you can come back tomorrow."

Ashton was going to argue that he was fine, but decided it was best to just leave for the night. He avoided all contact with people for the rest of the time, scared that they were there to see food spilled over him.

He had another reason on why he hated Luke Hemmings.

The next day he was sitting in the classroom, avoiding Luke at all cost. He didn't want to talk to the tall blonde, not after he humiliated him at work.

Luke wanted to apologise to Ashton, but whenever he was around the smaller teen; he would walk away. He never meant to embarrass the other teen, he didn't see him walking with their food.

It was pretty obvious that Ashton hated Luke. That was what Luke didn't want to believe in the first place.

Okay ahahaha, sorry if this is lame!
