Chapter 6

*Ashton P.O.V.*

     A streak of sunlight had come through the window and landed right in my eye. I rolled over to escape the sun, I quickly blinked my eyes open when my head brushed against something. A chest. A bare chest might I add, I kept my eyes on the chest not wanting to see the bloke I had ended up with last night. Even the thought of last night made my head throb. "Never drinking again." I thought to myself. Never, ever again.

     "Morning sleepyhead" The sound of that voice caused me to sit straight up. "Oh shit" I mumbled. "Goodmorning to you too" He said getting out of bed. "Niall?" I hoped we hadn't done what I thought we might have done. "No Ashton, we didn't have sex. You got drunk and I brought you here." I sighed in relief. "Thanks, your a great I don't know what I would do without you"  I hugged him. "You'd be some druken slut." "Now go get ready for school, you can use my extra uniform" He said shoving me towards the bathroom.

      I finished up my morning routine and headed down stairs. "Finally are you ready?" Niall groans . "Not until I properly speak to you mum" I said hugging Mrs. Horan. "How are you?" She says tapping my cheek. "Im fine just a bit of a headache is all" She gives me a sympathetic smile handing me two blue tabs and a bottle of water. I swallow them down and cringe at the burn they've left in my throat. "Off you go boys wouldn't want to be late" She says pushing us towards the door.  I grabbed a piece and toast and bacon, "Bye Mama Horan"  I yell from the passenger seat. The ride to school was short but very infirmational, Niall had let me know about him being my boyfriend. Honestly it wasn't that big of a shock and I enjoyed the idea, we had been best mates for ages. Plus Niall is hot and quite adorable so who wouldn't want to be with him. We turned into school and suprisingly Niall opened the door for me, which felt strange but hey that's what boyfriends do right? I grabbed my books from my locker and head to 1st period. English.

      I took my seat next to Luke and Calum, ignoring the smirk playing on Luke's lips. "Let's finish up the assignments today class" Mr. Styles instructed. "So spill it" Luke whisper yelled. "Spill what?" I said filling in the assignment, not looking up at him. "Oh don't play dumb Irwin, Calum told me he saw you getting out of Niall's car this morning." He said nudging Cal. "Luke I told you it didn't mean anything, they are best mates."  Calum reasoned. "Oh whatever, I'm watching you Fletcher" He said squinting his eyes. "Nice of you to join us, Mr. Clifford" Mr. Styles says handing him the assignments. "Sup guys, sorry Im late" he mumbles, taking the seat next to me. "S'fine" Calum coos. We work through the assignment small talk here and there. I can't help but notice Michael frequent stares at me, it's kinda scary and annoying. Maybe he needs help with the assignment and is too stubborn to ask. "Hey. Uh do you need some help?" I ask. He nods a simple "Yes" which is alot more than I thiught he'd say. "Okay so this just wants to know what were Shakespeare's main concepts when writing comedies." I say after reading through the question. As looked up at Michael I realized he was staring at me again. "Michael...Michael!" I snap at him causing him to flench. "The answer?" "Yeah sorry; Insults, Metaphors and Funs" He beamed at the sound of his answer. "Close, it's puns with a p." the disappointment heavy in his eyes. "Oh guess we all can't be smart like you." he mumbled.

      I was going to assure him he was just as smart as me, maybe even smarter. That all failed when Luke yelled "I knew you were lying Ashton, Niall just told me everything!" He said shoving a phone towards my face. "You''ve got some explaining to do." He sassed. Thank the heavens .fo the dismissal bell. I hopped up firm my seat  and ran to my locker, trying to avoid Luke. "Hey" Niall said leaning against my locker. "You told Luke?" I breathed out. "Yeah, is there a problem?" I shoke my head no but truly there was, I pushed that thought aside and grabbed my books for Maths from my locker. "Just warn me next time, yeah?" "Of course" He says wrapping his hands around my waist and kissing the tip of my nose, I giggle at the feeling. "You guys are sickening" I turn around to see an annoyed Luke, giddy Calum and a Michael. He was a lot harder to read than the other two. I wonder how he feels about Niall and I, he probably doesn't care though. "When did this start?" Michael says through gritted teeth. Oh so he does care, hmm that's unexpected. "Yesterday" Niall says happily. "Really?" Luke says a bit confused  "I vaguely remember last night. I went out to a club, with Niall and some guy... I think his name was Zack handed me a drink and the rest is history." I said looking up at Niall. "Pathetic" I hear Michael mumble as the warning bell rings. "Well thats our calling, see ya later lads" I wave off the boys. When we got to Maths I could hardly focus. Pathetic. Is that really what Michael thought of me, what he thought of Niall and I's relationship. Pathetic. Is that why Im with Niall, is that why he choose me. He feels sorry for me, Im just a joke. Tears begin slipping from my eyes, I run from the room so they can't see how pathetic I am.
