Fiona's POV
"Why're you guys here?" Mikey asks them. Cal shrugs. "Got hungry and this was the only place open that wasn't too far from us" he says. Mikey nods. Mikey looks at me then the guys. "This is Kyla" he lies. I look at them. Ashton's eyes linger on me longer then Calum's. His brows furrow, studying my face.
"You look like someone I know" he says. I raise an eyebrow. "Yeah?" I ask. "This girl, Fiona. She's a pretty cool girl" he says. I nod. "Cool" I say. He stares at me a bit longer. I can picture him mentally removing all the makeup.
"Well we're gonna go" Cal says. He grabs Ashton's arm and pulls him away before we can say bye.
Ashton's POV
"Dude, that was totally Fiona!" I say. Cal rolls his eyes. "No it wasn't. Would Fiona dress like that?" He asks. "First time for everything" I say. "Bro, Fiona doesn't even wear red lipstick. That was not her" he insists. I sigh and climb into the car.
I push my thoughts of Fiona out of my head as I drive us home to our shared house.
Fiona's POV
"That was close" I say. Mikey chuckles. Our food arrives and we both dig in. "How's your Alfredo?" I ask. "Good. Your Chicken Parm?" He asks. I nod. We're interrupted by my phone dinging.
Luke: Fiona, where the fuck are you?!
Me: Ashton's house
Luke: Well why'd you leave a note that I wasn't supposed to see til morning? Did you fucking sneak out?!
Me: No! Why would I do that
Luke: I don't know but this note tells me otherwise
Me: Whatever I'm with Ash and I'll see you at school tomorrow
Luke: No your coming home tonight I'm coming to get you right now
I look up at Mikey. "We need to go. Now. Luke knows I'm gone" I give him my phone. He reads our conversation and his eyes widen. He throws 30 dollars on the table and we both walk out.I call Luke and motion for Mikey to be quiet. We get in the car and start driving towards my house. "Fiona?" Luke answers. "I'm on my way home now" I say. He sighs. "Next time tell me before you leave like that" he says. "Okay. See you in a few. Bye" I hang up.
We are 10 minutes from my house. I notice my hands are sweaty and wipe them on my skirt. I feel the leather and look down. Shit. "Stop somewhere. Now. I need to change" I say. Mikey looks over at me and looks me up and down, nodding.
We're only 3 minutes from his place so we stop there. I rush inside and change quickly, wiping off all makeup. I look in the mirror and sigh.
Running back outside, we head back towards my house. "Shit!" I say. "What?" Mikey asks. "He thinks Ashton's dropping me off" I say. He mumbles curse words. "I'll drop you off down the street and you can say that you walked back" he says. I nod. Mikey said he'll give me my bag of old clothes next time we do this. Successfully.
I grab my school bag and phone charger before getting out of the car. I peck Mikey's lips before he makes a U-turn and goes home. I sigh again and head towards my home.
When I close the front door, Luke's arms are immediately wrapped around me and pulling me close to hug him. "Thank god" he says. I smile and pull away. He furrows his brows. "The hells that?" He asked. "What?" I said. He carefully plucked something from my hair. I froze.
My black bow.
"Since when do you wear bows that are black?" He asked. I shrugged. "Ash gave it to me" I lied. He seemed unconvinced but put the bow aside. I looked at the time. 12:00 am.
"Well I'm gonna go to bed" I both hugged again before I rushed upstairs into my room. I threw on a large shirt that said "Voted Best Dressed" before climbing into bed.
------------------------------------------------------
My alarm went off. I get out of bed and quickly get dressed in the same outfit I wore yesterday.
Instead of the black booties, I put on white high top converse. I put my hair in a high ponytail and kept it wavy. I applied some lip gloss with the usual peach eyeshadow. I grabbed my bag and phone. I closed my bedroom door behind me and knocked on Luke's.
He answered the door, still half asleep. "What day is it?" He yawned. "Tuesday" I answered. He nodded and went to go get dressed. I went into the kitchen and unwrapped a granola bar. I sat down and waited for Luke while eating my so-called breakfast.
He came downstairs with 30 minutes until the first bell rings. We went out to his car and he drove us to school. "So why'd you walk home last night?" He asked. Fuck. "Figured I needed the exercise" I lied. He glanced at me. "Listen, if anyone is telling you that your too fat-" he starts. "No ones telling me that, Luke" I cut him off. He nods.
We pull into the parking lot and I rush over to Ashton car, where all three boys are standing. "Ash, I kinda was out last night shopping for Luke's birthday present and he woke up wondering where I was. I covered it up by saying I was with you and Calum so he wouldn't know" I explain quickly. "So you want us to go along with it" Cal finishes. I nod. "Sure" they say. I breathe out a sigh of relief just before Luke walks up.
It's not technically a lie. Luke's birthday is two weeks from now, and I do need to find him a present. Luke and Cal start talking. Ash looks at me. Well, down at me. Their all so fucking tall. Jackasses.
"So I believe it's my turn to walk you around today" he says. I nod. We say bye to the boys and head off towards my locker. "So, Fiona" he says. I look at him questioningly. "Yes, Ashton" I say.
"Was wondering if you wanna go to the movies with me tonight" he asks casually. My face flushed red. Is he asking me out on a date? "It's fine if you can't" he adds quickly. I let out a girly little giggle. "Sure" I say. His face lights up. "Cool, cool. So I'll pick you up at..." he trails off. "Does seven work?" I ask. He nods. My mind starts racing.
It's not like I'm cheating on Mikey, right? I mean, I'll tell him about it. Warn him, I guess. Shit. Warn?!
I'm so lost in my thoughts that I don't realize Ashton is discussing what movie we should watch. "...oh they have Dunkirk! Yeah that just came out yesterday. It even has that Harry Styles in it! He's so cool. Only 23 years old and already is a legend" he rambles. (Sorry had to include Harry he's just so cool and cute and talented! Kay back to the story) "Yeah Dunkirk is fine" I smile. He smiles back. The bell rings, signaling we need to start walking to our first class.
When we start walking, Ashton hesitates before opening his mouth. "Can I maybe put my arm around you?" He asks. "Sure" I blush. He puts his arm around my shoulder and keeps it like that.
When we pass Mikey, his face looks like he's about to kill someone.
