-4 days later-


*alarm*

First day of year 11, brillaint. After a while of contemplating never going to school or speaking to anyone ever again for sleep , i get up and go make breakfast. I'll be honest i dont have avacado toast and pumpkin spice lattes, i have ready made waffles and shit tons of regular shitty coffee but it does the job. I check the time and its 6:16 leaving me 3 hours. I run up stairs and start running a shower, i do all the regular shower stuff then get out. Brushing my teeth while peeing, because multi-tasking is key on a school morning. 7:03. I do my eyebrows, concelar and foundation after about 4 mental breakdowns and 20 mistakes. Thank god i got eyelash extensions. 7:50. For the first day back we get none school uniform so i decide i might as well make a good impression on the first day back. Victoria secret bombshell bras work miracles. I throw on some black jeans, a grey top and a orange tommy hilfiger jacket, meh. I threw my hair in a low ponytail and added some hoops earrings. 8:39.  I put on my old skool vans and left. It was only then i realized i was already fucking late. school starts at 8:50 its now 8:45 and i live 15-20 minutes away from school, i was trying to do good this year. 


9:05. Walking in late to empty corridors and classrooms remembering i have assembly, this is going to be embarrassing. I practically sprint down two flights of stairs and 4 hallways and i guess all the adrenaline of feeling like a ninja got to me because i accidentally slammed upon the door to assembly, all heads turned. ''sorry'' i mumbled while sitting down next to my best friends Bethany and Claudia. We don't say anything just silently laugh about how much of an idiot i am. 


First class, you have to be very careful where you sit because I once had to sit next to this boy named Luke, he was gorgeous but so so so dumb it wasn't bearable but it was like 50/50 between it being unbearable to sit next to him because he's semi-retarded and it being unbearable for me to sit next to him without ripping his clothes off. I sit next to  my guy friend Matthew, there's a little bit of sexual chemistry there but i cant say any of it is on his side. I examine the room everyone looks familiar except from one person, he had light brown curly hair and that's all i can really say considering i'm sat behind him. 

The mysterious boy turns around and i swear time stops. We made direct eye contact for what felt like 20 minutes but was probably 10 seconds, it was the boy from that night. I can't really remember everything except the accidental lies i may have told, i would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for the stupid register. 

''Ashton Irwin'' 

''Here'' a way too familiar Australian accent replies. 

A bunch of names i don't really care about reply and then

''Chloe Kortez''

''Here'' Ashton turns around with a confused expression.

Its been about 30 minutes since the register and he hasn't said anything yet. 

''Ashton could you give out these please'' Mrs, i don't even care about her name but she was clearly flirting with him, i don't care or anything its just weird. 

He passes it to everyone eyes down but when he gets to me he looks up, that eye contact again ''Here you go Effy oh shit sorry Chloe.'' 

''Can i please explain''

''How do i know you wont lie again?'' 

''I may have told a little lie, get over it''

''Do you ever think of anyone but yourself?''

''Why would i?''

''You're pathetic''

''You don't know me''

''I know enough, you're a self obsessed lying bitch'' 

The conversation was quiet at first until we both got mad.

''Do you fucking mind?'' Matthew stood up.

''Matty leave it'' 

''Awe Matty, let me guess you've fucked him too haven't you? how many lies did you tell for that to happen?'' 

I didn't know what to reply the class was silent now the only sound was Matt grabbing Ashton by his shirt. 

Here was when mrs decided to actually be a teacher ''stop it right this instant'' 

''Get the fuck off me'' Ashton said in utter disgust pushing Matt's hand away. I'll remember this first day forever. 


The class was over and all i wanted to do was slap Ashton but explain myself first. So the second he shoved past me, i grabbed him by the arm and pulled him towards me. 

''Please let me explain'' i practically begged.

''You lied to me, not only about your name but about your age and you told me you don't go to school. That's not fucking cool.''

''Okay, okay. I know. Wait how do you know about my age?'' 

''I saw your register thing whilst Mrs Jenkins passed me the rulers'' 

''Right i'm sorry, I'm not 18, I'm not called Effy and i haven't left school''

''Thanks for admitting to something you wouldn't have if i didn't find it out myself. This was a waste of my time i'm just gonna- ''Wait'' I grabbed his hand this time, bringing back familiar feelings. 

''When you started talking to me in that club i saw your ID and i could tell it wasn't fake and you was 18, I wanted you to like me and i know it sounds stupid but there was something about you. oh god that sounds like i'm in love with you i'm not'' I was saying anything that came to my head at this point 

''I just wanted to impress you and you asked me my age and i told you 18 and because i already lied i just thought i'd add too it and i'm not sure why. I'm sorry. But you had no fucking right to call me what you did so don't you dare act like i'm the only one in the wrong'' 

Then he kissed me i wasn't sure if it was to shut me up or to just fuck with me but I had to kiss back at least for a couple seconds I mean who wouldn't, just look at him. Wait what am i doing,

''Wait no, what are you doing! this is wrong''

''I thought you wanted this?''

I had to stop for a minute thinking back to what i said before so i don't completely embarrass my self again.

''I don't like you okay? can you like piss off? I was drunk off my head if i was sober i wouldn't have even spoke to someone like you'' and that was my dramatic exit.
