Amelia

Obviously I was surprised when Luke kissed me, I didn't really know how to react.

His hands were on my waist and my hands were still crossed over my chest

Without thinking I kissed him back and put my hands on his chest.

Luke pushed me back against the railing and carried on kissing me.

I finally caught up with mind and pulled my head back from Luke but my kept myself pressed against him.

He kept his head down and I was looking at him.

He looked up at me and I raised my eyebrows at him, asking what just happened, we were still up against each other on the railing, but neither of us made any effort to move.

"What? I thought you would be a good kisser," Luke smirked

I put my head down because i could feel my cheeks reddening, but I was also smiling.

However as soon as I looked up I saw a flash of blue and who else would it be but Michael Clifford.

"Uh, I need to go to English," I babbled, pushing Luke off of me and picking up my bag. I don't think Mikey saw but I didn't want him to think anything bad.

"What, wa-"

"Luke I have to go," I said and walked away leaving him behind.

I knew Ashton was in my English but I wasn't sure if he would show up or not so I looked around the room for him first. I didn't see him, but I did catch eye contact with someone else. Guess who it was

None other than Calum Hood. My chest tightened and my stomach filled with butterflies, but not the nice ones, the ones that make you feel sick with fear.

However, looking again, Calum had a fading black eye and a split lip. I was confused. It couldn't have been me as I didn't slap him hard at all and it was on his cheek.

"Why are you late Amelia?" Mrs Edwin said to me. Shit. I don't have a good excuse.

"I went to the toilet, sorry miss." I answered, I know it's the worst excuse ever but I had no time.

"Sit down, instructions are on the board." She said in a monotone voice.

I went and sat in my seat which sadly was right in front of Calum and got on with my work.

Ashton appeared about 20 minutes into the lesson, about 10 minutes after me. He looked straight at my chair and smiled at me. Mrs Edwin asked him the same question.

"Nurse Miss" Ashton replied

"It's Mrs Edwin" she told him.

"Sorry" Ashton mumbled and went to his seat.

At the end of the lesson - and of the day - I left english waited for Ashton outside, I wanted to speak to him and I wasn't sure whether he was going to walk home with me and Mikey.

But unfortunately for me, Calum left and walked past me before Ashton did.

"Amelia I want to speak to you." He told me, and stood behind me so I had to turn around.

"Go on"

"I'm sorry, about everything, with the window and the summer and the- Monday." He said with little emotion, but that was pretty normal for him.

"Ok, what happened to your face?"

"Oh, your little boyfriend did it" he snarled.

My boyfriend?

"Who?"

"Michael Clifford, that's who" he said "I want you to stay away from him." he told me again

"Calum, please don't, can we not just resolve this and not talk again, I don't have it in me to be friends and you can't tell me what to do," I practically whined.

I noticed Ashton walk out of english and stand a little behind Calum.

"No Amelia, I'm doing it for your own good, stay away from him or their will be consequences" Calum threatened through his teeth, bending a little to look me in the eye. I held the eye contact before he walked away, I waited until he was out of sight and then looked at Ashton, who was starting to walk towards me.

"Don't worry about it, he knows he can't do anything to you while you're on east, and the gang all know Molly and most likely you now, you will be ok." He said and rubbed my shoulder.

"Are you walking with me and Mikey tonight?" I asked him, he thought for a moment

"Sure" he shrugged and we began to walk to the pupil entrance.
