The next few days go by very quickly and before I know it, it's Friday, the day of the boy's band rehersal. At school, I have started to sit with Michael and Calum at lunch, despite Amelia's constant glares throughout the day. Luke has his lunch break at a different time to us so I still haven't met him yet.
"Lily, be at mine by half four yeah?" Michael shouts as I walk out of the school gates.
"Yeah sure!" I shout across the crowds of people. As soon as he is out of sight I put my earphones on and start my walk home. As I am walking, I am interrupted by a familair voice calling my name.
"Lily! Come here a second!" Amelia beckons me over.
"What's up?" I ask her, a few of her friends snigger from beind her but I take no notice.
"Why did you ditch us for those boys?" Amelia asks, impaticently tapping her foot.
"Wha-What?"
"You ditched all of your girl best friends for some boys. That is so typical."
"You weren't my best friends?" I retaliate, almost laughing at their stupidity.
"Oi, why are you smirking, you think this is fucking funny?" One of Amelia's friends piped up from the back. Woah. Where the hell did she come from.
"Look can you just leave me alone," I say, attempting to push past them.
"Pathetic slut." Amelia mutters under her breath.
My mouth drops open as I turn around. Is she being serious?! I decide to just keep walking away, putting my earphones in. What had gotten into her? I'm not a sensitive person, but hearing that from someone you thought liked you is kind of surprising.
Shaking my head, I arrive home. I decide to make an extra effort to look nice and put on a lacy dress and acid wash denim jacket.

I grab a chocolate bar and head out the door, making my way down the road to Michael's. When he opens the door I am instantly cheered up, as he pulls me into a hug and dips down to take a bite of my chocolate bar I am halfway through.
He leads me into the garage, where Calum is lying on the floor making weird noises and Luke is sitting on the floor, long legs streched out and head down. As I walk in, he slowly brings his head up, running his hand through his hair. Our eyes lock, and after a few moments we both awkwardly look away.
"Luke this is Lily, Lily, Luke," Michael smiles.
"H-Hi," LUke nods at me, biting his lip in a nervous yet seductive way.
Calum's head bops up and his eyes travel from me to luke and back. The tension in the room has somewhat doubled, however Michael is still in the corner, absent-mindedly eating some crisps.
"Ok Lily we will play you 'Next to You,' first,"
"Man that's the only song we know," Calum chips in
"Fuck off," Michael mutters.
(Please watch the video in the description of them playing it if you haven't before, it will help you imagine time of the story, no quiffs yet! Eventually they will get to where they are now though)
"Whats your band name by the way?" I ask
"5 Seconds of Summer," Michael grins proudly. I give Luke and Calum a questioning look because of the random name, but they both just shrug and give me a 'don't question it,' look.
The boys introduce themselves to the camera and then begin the song. As Luke starts singing I can already tell that despite Calum's reluctancy to be there, the three gel really well. They get into the song and I start dancing around the room, the three creating a good beat.
Once the song has finished and they stopped recording, the three look at me expectantly. I give them a huge grin.
"Guys that was amazing!" A wave of relief fills their faces.
"Do you not think something is missing though?" Michael asks.
"A drummer," I respond quickly.
"I guess so," Luke replies.
"You can't play gigs without a drummer," I shrug.
The four of us eat some crisps while we think about their situation.
Suddenly, Calum's mouth drops open, letting some gooey crisp mush escape his mouth onto Luke's sock.
"What the hell?!" Luke shouts at him, kicking his foot.
"Ashley!!" Calum happily shouts.
"What the fuck is he on," Michael says
"The drummer from the record shop! The one on MySpace! Ashley!" Calum grins
"His name is fucking Ashton," Micheal groans,but a smile quickly fills his face.
"Yes Calum! You legend!" He jumps on him, making a strange cracking noise.
"I will message him tonight," Calum says happily.
"Mate I have no idea what's going on," Luke questions. The three of us quickly fill him on Ashton.
"He sounds decent," Luke replies.
"Guys i gotta get going," I sigh, getting up from the floor.
"I will walk you if you want?" Calum offers,
"Where abouts do you live babe?" Luke asks. My body stiffens as he calls me babe.
"Towards school," I weakly reply.
"Same. I'll walk you, See ya tomorrow guys," He nods towards Michael and Calum.
Calum doesn't reply, just rolls his eyes and walk out of the room. Michael shrugs and gives me a hug saying goodbye, and tapping Luke on the back. The two of us leave and walk down his yard in silence.
"You and Calum then?" Luke breaks the silence.
"What? No?" I reply, confused as to why he would think that.
"Don't worry babe," He smoothly replies.
"Stop calling me that!" I say, slighty irritated at his cockiness, no matter how hot it was.
"Why? You like it." He states.
"How would you know that?"
"It's obvious,"
Damn.
He stops me and holds the top of my arms, his breath hitting just above my mouth as he is slightly talling than me.
"You have known me for half a day. Shut up,"
"Make me,"
My breath hitches. The temptation is almost impossible to avoid.
