Ashton's POV

It was third period and I was sitting in math class listening to the teacher drone on about algebra or something. There was only a few minutes left of class and then it would be time for lunch. 

I hadn't seen Calum yet except for spotting him across the hallway earlier. He has no idea that I stayed with Luke lastnight. 

Despite all the shit that happened yesterday overall it was a good day, all because of Luke. I can't deny the fact that I am developing strong feelings for the boy. 

I can already hear Calum chanting 'I told you so' in my head. 

When a piece of paper landed on the desk in front of me my attention was taken from the board. I glanced at the paper and then to my left where Michael Clifford was sitting. 

He motioned for me to open it and then turned to talk to some girl. Confused as of why Michael was tossing letter at me I opened it and began to read. 

hey ashton i need some help in science & mr.phelps told me u would be a good tutor. can u tutor me after school sometime ill pay you ten bucks a day? u dont have to respond right away. 

This poor boy looks like he needs some help in english too. 

I thought about if for a few minutes until the bell rang, I don't have anything else to do and I could use a little money since I'm practically homeless. 

Before I could say anything to Michael about the note he was walking out the class with his arm slung of the girl he was talking to earliers shoulders. 

I gathered my things and made my way to the lunchroom. Upon entering I spotted Calum already seated with his tray. I rushed through the line and got food and a drink before amking my way over to Calum, sitting accross from him in the booth.

"Hey." He said, picking at something on his plate not even looking up. 

"Hey." I replied. 

"So where ya been? You didn't call or text me yesterday which, is unusual." 

"I got in a fight with my mum yesterday, I don't live there anymore." I said. 

"What? Why didn't you call me? Wat happened? Where did you stay lastnight?" He began rattling off questions. 

Before I could respond Luke was sliding in the booth beside me. 

"Hey." He smiled. 

"Hey." I smiled back. 

He then grabbed my water and took a big gul out of it. I snatched the bottle from his hand and groaned.
