Moments later, two more boy appeared in the doorway. One was a very tall blonde with a lip ring and the other had some what curly hair and was wearing a bandana.

“Well well well look what we have here.” The blonde one said taking a sip of his drink.

“Mikey! You finally got the girl! It’s about damn time!” The one with the bandana said patting Michael on the back. What are they talking about ‘finally getting me?’ Had Michael noticed me before we met and talked to them about it? I turned to Michael as he spoke to his friends, “Shut up guys.” He said playfully punching them. “Can we actually come in the house and not just stand here.” Michael asked. They boys nodded letting us in. We both hung our jackets next to the door and made our way to the kitchen. Michael stayed right by my side. Michael and his friends were talking about whatever as I looked around as we walked. This was a very nice house. It was very large. When we entered the kitchen, we sat at a counter that had few beer bottles scattered. Some empty and some not opened yet. Michael sat next to me and his friends sat across from us.

“So Michael, aren’t you going to tell us your little friends name?” The darked haired one asked looking at me as he sipped his beer.

“This is Kayla.” Michael said putting his arm around my shoulder. “She is probably going to be around for a while so get use to her being around.” He then smiled at me. I smiled back then looking back at his friends. They looked at me for a few seconds to observe me I guess, then the one with the bandana and the ACDC shirt on finally spoke up, “Well hello Kayla. I’m Ashton.” He smiled.

“Hi Ashton.” I smiled then looking at the other boys waiting for them to introduce themselves as well.

“I’m Luke what’s up.” The blonde one said waving his hand at me.

“Hello Luke.” I waved back.

“And I’m Calum.” The dark haired one smiled.

“And hello Calum.” I smiled back at him.

After we all introduced ourselves, the guys started talking about whatever and I sat there pretending I was interested, but really I was thinking about Ashton, Luke and Calum and how when they first saw me them saying, “Mikey finally got the girl.” Has Michael seen me many times before? I think I remember catching him peeking at me through my window a while ago when I was walking back to my old house. As I was thinking about this I heard one of the boys call my name. I then shot my head up, “What?” I questioned.

“Do you want a drink?” Luke offered me.

“Oh um sure yea.” I stuttered. Luke then passed me a bud light. I then immediately opened it and took a sip. I haven’t had a beer in a while. It was nice.

“So Kayla, I have never seen you at school.” Calum said opening a beer and taking a sip.

“Oh I don’t go to school I’m um homeschooled.” I lied. I didn’t want to tell them that I’m homeless right when I just met them. I’m going to give it some time, then I might eventually have to tell them if I’m going to be around them a lot since Mikey is so close with them.

“Ohhh” They all said nodding their heads. Michael just smiled at me and rubbed my back.

“So Kayla, tell us a little more about yourself. I mean as Mikey said, you are going to be around us quite often.” Luke said taking his lip ring between his teeth. I took a moment to think about what to say, I couldn’t tell them the full truth. I looked at Michael who was staring at me, waiting for what I was about to say. I took a deep breath then spoke,

“Well I um I’m 18 I- I’m homeschooled.” I stuttered to say. I was just listing random things popping in my head until Ashton cut me off, “Where do you live? You must live In Michael’s neighborhood since you walk through it all the time.”

“Yea I um live like right down the block from his house- wait. How do you know I would- I mean I always walk home past Mikey’s?” I questioned.

“Because Michael told us. He would see you walk home everyday and watch you like a fucking creeper.” Luke laughed taking another sip of his drink.

“DUDE!” Michael yelled. The boys all began to laugh and Michael’s cheeks began to flush. I giggled then felt my cheek flush as well.

“Sorry dude, but I had to say that.” Luke laughed. Michael then flipped him the bird as he took a big sip of beer. I then put my hand on his arm, stopping him from  drinking his beer,

“Michael don’t you have to drive us home?” I asked.

“Oh yea I forgot to tell you we are going to stay here tonight, only if you’re okay with that.” He said putting his arm around me again.

“Oh um yea I’m fine with that.” I smiled pushing a strand of hair behind my ear. Michael smiled at me and nodded his head. He then took another sip of beer and we both turned to face the boys again.

“So Kayla finish telling us about yourself.” Ashton smiled as he cracked open a beer. “Well I like to listen to music a lot. I use to live in my headphones. I listened to music more than my parents it was almost unhealthy.” I shyly smiled as I looked down at my feet and kicked them against the legs of the chair.

“Do you still live with your parents?” Calum asked.

“Oh um I um no.” I continued to look down at my feet. I didn’t like the topic of my parents really I didn’t like bringing them up.

“So you moved out?” Luke asked.

“Well I did at first, but then I realized moving out was a big mistake, so when I went to move back in, they kind of just left.” I frowned. I didn’t expect this topic to come up. It was difficult to talk about. I could tell Michael felt bad for me so he rubbed my back to comfort me.

“Aw that sucks I’m sorry.” Ashton said.

“It’s okay. Now I just live on my own in a really tiny house, but it’s fine I’m happy with it.” I smiled looking at Michael. It then grew quiet for a moment. I chugged down the last of my beer and passed it to Calum since the garbage was closest to him. Ashton then handed me another one and I immediately opened it and took a sip.

“Hey guys wanna go in the basement and play beer pong? I set up a table and I recently got a giant beer pong set.” Calum said standing up out of his seat.

“Yea I’m in.” Michael stood up then looked down at me, “Kayla? Do you wanna be on my team?” Michael smiled putting his hand out in front of me. I placed my hand in his and stood up out of my seat, “I would love to be on your team Mikey.” I smiled.

“Alright me, Ashton and Luke Vs Mikey and Kayla. C’mon let’s go.” Calm said leading the way to the basement. We all then followed along.

“I’m amazing at beer pong so both you little fuckers are getting your asses whooped.” Ashton said taking another sip of beer as we made our way to the basement.

“Bullshit dude you fucking suck.” Michael laughed as so did I.

“How about who ever loses has to drink the old milk that’s in the back to the fridge.” Luke laughed.

“It’s a bet!” Michael smirked.

“Have fun drinking that Milk later!” Calum smiled turning on the basement lights.

“You should be saying that to yourselves I’m pretty badass at beer pong.” I said smirking at the boys.

“Oh are you now?” Michael questioned placing his beer on the side table.

“Well we are about to find out now.” Ashton smirked. We then began to set up the table. Calum really did have a lot of cups to set up, so I could already tell it was going to be a pretty long game. I haven’t played beer pong in a while, but I think I still can kick their asses. I was pretty damn amazing back when i would actually attend parties.
