Miss America or Miss Australia // Ashton Irwin Fanfiction

Chapter 6 - Another Day, Another Nickel

WARNING: This contains a lot of feels/dying/crying moments, beware of what you are reading ;)

7:00 am // Ashton's POV:

My alarm went off again, ugh shit. Time for school. 1 day down, 199 to go. Ok, I survived a day! But I can't handle 199 more days. My hair was in the way and I hated it so much, but I didn't care. I turned off my alarm and went back to sleep.

Just 10 minutes later, my mum came into my room. Ugh seriously? I was so fucking comfortable. She came lying on top of me, which was really uncomfortable for me, especially when you're lying in bed. 

"Ashton, time to get up love" Mum begged.

"Mhmm, 10 more minutes mum" I mumbled under the pillow.

"Look Ash, I know you hate going to school, but you are a smart boy and you can do it" Mum nagged.

"What's your point?" I muffled.

"My point is, get up. Otherwise I'll call you by your middle name" Mum warned.

I hated my middle name. My middle name Fletcher. Yes, Fletcher. F - L - E - T - C - H - E - R. I fucking hate it so much! What sort of a name is Fletcher? A shitty one I'll tell you.

"Alright, I'm up" I jumped out of bed.

I got out of bed, said good morning to my little brother and my little sister, Harry and Lauren and went off to have a shower.

After I had that, I went off and got change. I went downstairs to have my breakfast, which was Vegemite on toast. Praise the lord. When I finished, I packed my bag for school and started heading off. The school wasn't that far away, approximately 5 minutes.

5 minutes later:

I arrived at school. I looked at the time on my phone, it was 8:40am. Calum and Luke were there, Calum, Michael and Luke have the similar timetable as me, they have French, Music and English with me. Michael just arrived, we greeted eachother as we normally do. I went up to my locker and got out my French stuff for the first lesson.

After that, us 4 walked up to the first lesson, which was French. Mrs Bouchet was in the classroom, but she said it was too early to start. Luke wanted to stay until 9 when the first lesson starts so that he doesn't get punished because he's a good boy. Michael, Calum and I went down to see what was going on, Loudness of students roared and filled my ears. From a distance, I saw Grace and Nicole, talking to eachother. It's been only a day and they've got along together really well. It was like friends reunite with eachother. I don't understand why Nicole hates me so much, I only did one little mistake to her and she freaks over it. Big whoop. I don't care, just as long Nicole is over it for a few days, I'm ok with that.

"GRACE!" I yelled. 

I saw Grace's face lit up. She waved at me. I waved back. Grace's looking prettier today, actually, cut that out, she looks pretty everyday. She came up close to me.

"Hey Miss America" I smirked.

"Hey Mr Australia" She smirked back.

"I'm guessing you have French now?" I asked.

"Yeah I do, I'm guessing you have French too?" She asked.

"Sure do, I'm assuming Nicole does too?" I asked again.

"Yeah, it's funny because Nicole and I have the same subjects" She explained.

Uh oh. If Grace, Nicole and I have the same subjects, this means that I have to put up with Nicole for the rest of the semester. Oh god, where will this lead down to?

"Really?" I cried. 

"Yep, that's what she said" She answered.

"Alright, do you want to get your stuff ready? I asked. 

"Yeah sure" She smiled.

Grace and I talked on the way to her locker and when she went up to her locker. Everytime when she would speak, I would blush. I have never felt this way before. Is this a weird thing for me? I haven't felt this close around a girl before. I'll get used to it, I hope.

Grace and I went up to French. I sat next to her so if she doesn't know any French, I could help her out.

"Bonjour class" Mrs Bouchet.

"Bonjour Mrs Bouchet" The class sang.

"For those who are new in French, my name is Mrs Bouchet and I'll be taking you for French for the first semester. Maybe for the second semester if lucky" Mrs Bouchet introduced.

I wasn't all in all that keen on French or the teacher. But I guess it's ok to learn another language.

"Now, to start off this lesson, we are going to remember what you guys did last year, by doing a pop quiz" The teacher explained.

Everyone groaned in sync, especially me. I hate pop quizzes so much, we never learn anything from a pop quiz. Mrs Bouchet handed me the pop quiz. I haven't remembered anything from last year. I'm probably going to fail anyway, so what's the point?

After the pop quiz, Mrs Bouchet introduced a new assignment that we are going to do. We are going to introduce ourselves in French. This will be in partners that Mrs Bouchet is going to announce by a lucky dip.

Nicole and Luke are going together. Wow, that is going to be hell for them. Then, I heard Mrs Bouchet called out my name, then Grace's name. Sounds like Grace and I are partners. Yay and no at the same time. Yay because we can both work effectively and no because Grace might not know any French and I'll have to remember everything from last year. How the fuck am I supposed to do this?

30 minutes later:

The lesson is finally over. It was great working with Grace and I'm glad that she knows French from her old school. That's a relief for me. I'd give her an A+.

I walked up to Grace's locker with her. Maybe she and Nicole could hang out with us at recess and lunch.

"Umm, do you want to hang out with me and my friend? You can bring Nicole as well, I mean that's if you don't want to" I studder.

"Sure, I'd like that" Grace smiled and giggled

She talked to Nicole to see if that was ok with her. She wasn't convince, but said yes in the end. I assumed that Nicole told Grace about what happened at the end of last year. Meh, I guess Grace doesn't care. Us 3 walked downstairs to find Michael, Luke and Calum. They were sitting near the gym under the tree.

"Hey guys" I smiled and greeted.

"Hey Ash, who's this pretty girl right next to you?" Luke smirked.

"Shut up Luke, guys this is Grace, Grace, this is Calum, Luke and Michael" I directed.

"Hi guys" Grace said, nervously.

"Hey" Said cheered in sync.

I sat down next to Grace and she sat down next to me. Nicole sat next to Grace, she wasn't that impressed, but she'll get over it. 

We all talked about really stupid and random things, such and unicorns and ponies. Why we were talking about them I'll never know. I think that I got Grace into the real world and got into the comfort shell. She's sounds pretty happy to me and I'm glad that she's happy too.

End of recess:

I went to my locker and went to get my stuff out for the next lesson, which was music, I'm hoping to practice with the boys so we can get our act together, We haven't even practice in ages. We need to get a move on.

End of the day (A/N: sorry):

The day is finally over. I said goodbye to the boys, said goodbye to Grace, gave her a little wink and left. I hopped into the car and said hi to mum, Harry and Lauren. Mum drove off and we all went home. 

Hey! sorry, the end was kinda suckish, but hope you're loving the story so far. Did you die in this chapter? Get the feels? I sure did, haha, anyway, I'll publish this chapter and start on chapter 7 :)
