Clemency's POV
So the project we had been made to do was to get into a band and perform a song by the end of two weeks. We were in groups by tables, so thats good.
It was now lunch, myself and the others were all sat round a circle table outside. It's nice eating outside in winter and not being cold!
"And she said, it's Lavender!" Calum exclaimed.
Everybody fell about laughing, I on the other hand had no idea what they were talking about. I tend to daydream a lot, quite antisocial I know, but hey, what you going to do? Luke looked over at me and sent me a reassuring smile. I'm so glad I've made friends with him so early on!
Everyone continued to converse, since nobody seemed interested I decided to scope out the seating area from where I was sitting.
Okay, to the left of us is obviously the smarter ones, to the right...
My observation was stopped by Luke tapping me on the shoulder.
"Staring's rude you know" Luke started jokily.
"I wasn't staring.." I muttered , turning to face him, "I was 'observing' my surroundings" I replied smugly.
"Well, like the look of this place?"
"Hmm.. It's okay.." I began, scanning the area. I stopped when my gaze fell upon the boy from music, sitting by himself on a table by a tree.
"What's the deal with that kid?" I asked Luke, his mood changed instantly and he just shrugged.
"Oh you mean Ashton? He's no one, just the schools 'troubled' student."
"Troubled student?" I quizzed, he didn't look troubled to me, eating his carrot sticks, he looked pretty normal!
"Seriously Clem, I wouldn't go there.."
"Go where?"
"I know you're thinking about going to see Ashton", my eyes widened as I went to defend myself, however, Luke stopped me before I could reply, "But I honestly wouldn't go there, he's had some history with girls, and.. He's just not worth your time!"
"What do you mean not worth my time? Just because you obviously don't like him, doesn't mean he's a bad guy." I replied, a little louder than once anticipated.
"Who's not worth you're time?" Michael joined, and arm swung over Abbey's shoulder.
"Ashton."
Everyone seemed a bit taken back. Calum suddenly went quiet and Abbey sipped her apple juice meekly. This is honestly really confusing me, what's the deal with Ashton?
"Well if you guys aren't going to tell me what's so wrong with Ashton, I may just find out myself!"
"Wait, Clem.." Luke started, too late.
Picking up my books I made my way towards Ashton's table. Ashton glanced up and took a double take. Smirking he signalled for me to sit with him, he seems alright to me?
"So you are..?"
"Clemency Smith."
"Ashton Irwin, pleasure to make your acquaintance".
"So.." I started, feeling quite awkward, i really should have thought this through.
"Why the sudden visit?" Ashton inquired.
"My friends were being irritating" I factually stated.
"What, those guys?" He laughed, pointing at Luke and the guys, "They're all complete idoits" Ashton laughed to himself, taking a sip of water.
"Theyre not idoits?" I started back, the words coming out more questioningly then i had hoped. I hadnt known these guys for much more than 4 hours and I was already standing up for them? Then again, they had been really nice to me, I need to go and think. Getting up I went to walk into the main building. Suddenly a hand caught ahold of my arm and stopped me in my tracks. I turned round to see Ashton looking up at me from where he's sat.
"No stay" Ashton almost pleaded, suddenly shaking off his insecurities and looking at me more comfidently in the eyes.
"But I.."
"Ashton, just let her go". I turned round to see Luke, standing not that far away, his words drawing attention from the students.
Ashton just chuckled in responce and tightened his grip on my arm making me feel awfully uncomfortable.
"Guys seriously, i dont want to get between you too, you both obviously have some history, so if you dont mind, im going to go.." I stated.
"Clem.." Luke started, looking sympathetically between Ashton and I.
"Please Ashton?" I looked down to him, his eyes softened when he saw my expression, he loosened his grip and I pulled away.
Tugging nervously I pulled on my sleeves to cover my hands, drawing this many peoples attention on the first day definitely hadnt been on my to-do list. Tucking a blonde strand of hair behind my ear I made my way towards the main building, what on earth had I got myself into.
