You Belong With Me [5SOS AU]

Chapter Eight: Luke

"Aaahh Meesterr 'Emmeengzz! You have come to French, I see!" Miss Clavell smiled as I walked into the classroom.

I mentally rolled my eyes. What else was I doing then? Walking into a Media class? Speaking of which, I wouldn't have minded being in that class. Anything would have been better than French with Miss Clavell.

I sighed, as I sat down next to Michael. Ashton arrived five minutes later, looking out of breath.

"What's up dude?" I asked Ashton.

"Had... to... run... away from... Melissa..." He managed to say.

Michael laughed, "She's still chasing after you?"

Ashton looked at him as if to say 'Are you kidding me?'

"What did she do now?" I asked, thinking about the numerous times she's tried to 'woo' Ashton. One time, she even stalked him all the way to Harry's school. It was really creepy.

Once Ash could speak he said, "She... tried to... kiss me and chased me... it was horrible!"

I burst out laughing and Michael joined me. Ash was so serious and it made me laugh even more. Melissa Collins was a pretty girl who could get what she wanted. Ash was the only thing she couldn't get. And it was hilarious.

Ash was a really happy dude. Not much could upset or annoy him. One of the things that really annoyed him was Melissa. She never understood the meaning of 'no'.

And Calum was crazy for her. I didn't understand what he saw in her. Hayley was right. That girl Zoe was perfect for Calum. Zoe was her name... right? Yeah of course it was!

"Uhhhmmm Meesterr 'Emmeengzz! Eez your social life more important zann zeez French class?" Miss Clavell interrupted.

Was she being serious? Was she actually being serious?

"Everything is more important than French class," I muttered.

I was pretty sure that she heard that so I pretended to be occupied with the work that was set. I looked over at Michael and he looked pretty happy with himself.

"What's up with you mate?" I whispered, aware that Miss Clavell was keeping an eye on me.

"I kissed this girl..." Michael smirked.

I rolled my eyes at him. Typical Michael.

Michael and I weren't close before. We practically hated each other. But something brought us closer together and now we're really good friends. I always went to Michael whenever I wanted to relax and forget about things. We were able to talk about things without getting uncomfortable.

So I looked at Michael again and I saw something different. He wasn't just happy with himself. He generally seemed happy. He seemed to genuinely like this girl he kissed.

Michael was seen as the player of our group. He was out all the time and with a different girl every week. Lately, I haven't seen many girls with him. So it was quite a shock when I saw his expression. He must have really liked this girl.

At break, Hayley didn't join us for some reason and it was quite unusual. She was always hanging with us.

"I'm going to go hang with Chloe today, see you later!"

It was as if she couldn't get away any faster. Michael and Hayley exchanged looks for a second and then Hayley walked away. I couldn't help but think something happened between the two of them.

I brushed that thought away when I caught Michael eyeing up a girl from our French class. Same old Mikey.

The rest of the week went by and nothing much happened. The following week suggested Mikey and Hayley seemed to be alright now, after their weird encounter at break. They seemed to be hanging out more now. Always talking, always laughing. Mrs Winters mentioned that Hayley had been going out more with Michael and it was nice that Hayley had made friends.

As the weeks went on, it made it more uncomfortable for me to watch Hayley and Michael together. Even though they were just friends, they looked more of a couple than anything. I found that I excused myself plenty of times from hanging with the gang. It was too weird for me.

Band practice was the first time in ages that we were all together. No Hayley. Just music. Band practice was the only time it was just us four boys rocking out. No distractions, no girls - just us.

The first ever 5SOS band rehearsal was a memorable moment. Ashton came over to Michael's house. We asked him if he wanted to play fifa and he said he didn't like fifa. And he almost didn't make it into the band because he didn't like fifa.

We still thought of Ash as the new guy in the band. It was just a joke that we liked to annoy him with. He knew that we really thought of him as an older brother.

"Okay guys let's play Beside You, we haven't played that in ages!" Ash called out.

We all knew Ash loved to play that so we gave in. We also played a couple of other songs and some covers.

After that, we all sat down on the floor of Ashton's bedroom and got our song writing books out.

"Any new songs yet?" Calum asked.

I looked at him, sheepishly. I was meant to try and write something but I just couldn't. I had no inspiration. I looked at Michael and Ashton and they had the same look on their faces.

"Aw, come on guys! If I could do it, so can you!" He tried to encourage us.

We all went away, promising to come up with at least something.

When I went home, I went straight upstairs to see Hayley through her window. I caught her staring into space, looking quite distracted.

I waved my hands around to get her attention. She gave me a small smile that didn't really reach her eyes. I frowned.

'Are you okay?' I wrote.

'Come over?' She replied.

I nodded and walked downstairs.

"Muuuum!! Is it okay if I go over to Hayley's for a bit?" I asked.

"Sure hun! Just be home before dinner."

And with that I went next door. Mrs Winters let me in and I was relieved it wasn't Matt.

"What's up, Hayles?" I asked when I reached her room.

She just sighed.

"It's Michael..."

And with that my heart just broke.

I knew it.

Michael Clifford.

It was always him.

I walked home, making an excuse about how mum wanted me back home.

All that time, one thing was running through my mind.

Why him?

Why not me?

I slammed the door of my bedroom and blasted out some music.

I couldn't take it anymore. Hayley chose Michael over me.

Michael.
