Rich Girl | Ashton Irwin

space monkey

The next morning consisted of arguing with my mum for taking my keys and Jaxon continually shouting language at me while eating his unhealthy cereal, Lucky Charms, which are mine. I gave up and did the same thing as yesterday. Today I straightened my hair as it's always curled, I like change.
I picked my outfit, black jeans and a grey tank top, I lace up my white Air Force and put on my black beanie as usual.

I grab my Emporio Armani perfume and squirt the strong liquid on all the appropriate places.

I grab my bag and leave through the front door once again straight past my car, Paige, and up to the bus stop. I see Ashton reading, once again.
"Hey." I start
"Hey, why are you talking to me?"He spits. Does everyone think this of me?
"My mum says always make friends."
"Why would you want to be my friend you heard what George said I'm a bookworm."
"Hey, don't worry I am too, I may not show it in school but I am, I have a book in my bag, look," I say pulling out '13 Curses' by Michelle Harrison. I loved reading it's one of my favourite things, like I said, it's something people don't see behind closed doors.
"Oh, okay."
"So can we be acquaintances if not friends?"
"Erm, no?"
"Oh, okay, I still want to get to know you."
"There's nothing to know." He snaps
"Oh, I'm sorry." He sat there, thinking, I think.
"No I am, I shouldn't have snapped at you, I'm not used to making friends."
"It's okay."
"Ok we can be acquaintances."
"Cool!"
"Ok."
And from there I got to know the mysterious boy. From how he used to hate having baths to his passion for playing drums. Considering he's not used to making friends, he was very comfortable very quickly.
"Do you know my name?" He asks
"Erm... yes." I don't lie, sometimes
"Oh how?"
"George told me." He nods
"Yeah my names Ashton Fletcher Irwin, born in 1994, July seventh."
"Mines, May eighteenth five days before Linda's."
"Weird."
"Very."
I go to say something else when my phone rings from my pocket. I look at the caller ID, it's Luke! My cousin!
"Sorry I have to take this." He nods and I swipe right.
"Hey?"
"Hey M, you know my friend Michael?"
"Yeah."
"Well basically he got expelled from my school and he's coming yours, make him welcome will you." He says knowing what I can do
"Yes, you know I love Michael."
"Yes now good luck!"
"Ok bye you lanky penguin"
"Bye space monkey." I blush at the nickname, I can't help it my mum names me after a planet! I press the red button and turn to Ashton.
"Space Monkey, I like it." He smiles, giggling a little.
"Hey, don't call me that!"
"Ok, I will"
"Alright drummer boy."
"Ok space monkey." I giggle as the name falls out of his pink lips
The bus soon jolts and the doors swing open. I put my bag over my shoulder as Drummer boy stands up, and motions for me to go, I mumble and quick 'thank you' and leave the yellow hell. A smile is then plastered on my face as I come face to face with Michael Clifford.
"Well, well ,well."
"Mercury."
"Michael." We smile at each other for another moment and then we both run at each other hugging the daylights out of us.
"I missed you." I said into his shirt
"I missed you too girl."
