Ashton's POV:
I was seriously dreading school today and it was only the second day. I didn't want to see Ella Kate or sit in front of her or have to deal with anything. I was going to meet at Luke's locker in the morning like we planned until someone came up to me, he looked familiar I just can't remember where I met him.
"Hey your Ashton right?" He stopped me in the hallway.
"What? Uh yeah." I nodded.
"I'm Townes, we met at dinner with Ella..." He said slowly. Right that's were he's from. He was Ella's boyfriend I think.
"Oh hey, whats up?" I tried to act casual.
"I'm kinda lost." He laughed.
"Where ya going?" He handed me his schedule and I gave him directions. I though about giving him the wrong directions but he hasn't done anything to me so I was going to be nice.
"Thanks man." He started to walk away but turned back. "You should really talk to Ella Kate by the way."
"Why?" I scoffed.
"She feels bad for leaving you, she wants to explain why but you won't let her."
"Her mom had a job offering, there's really nothing more to that." I rolled my eyes.
"That's not what actually happened." Townes sighed.
"Okay so what really happened then?" I folded my arms.
"It's not my story to tell." He shrugged and walked off. I didn't really care that much to ask Ella herself. I didn't need to know.
I walked to Luke's locker where Calum and Michael said we would meet.
"Hey guys." I ran my fingers through my hair when I got to the locker.
"Hey mate." Luke smiled before going back to his locker. I look over to see Michael leaning up against the row of lockers holding some girl by the waist smiling at her. They looked like they were about to kiss.
"Hey so who's that giving him the lips?" I giggle and nod in his direction.
"Who Michael? Oh that's his girlfriend or whatever, she's nice, we met her at the beach like a week ago when you didn't show up." Luke looked over at Michael and shook his head. They were intensely making out now.
"I had my summer reading to do." I snapped.
"You missed out, she's fit." Calum smirked.
"What's her name?"
"I think it's Kate." Luke and Calum exchanged glances and shrugged.
"Hey Mikey!" Luke shouted and Michael lifted his head up.
"Come over here and introduce your girl to curly!" Calum laughed. Michael laced his hand with Kate and started walking over here, she lifted her head up and I swear I almost passed out. Her name wasn't Kate it was Ella Kate. And Calum said she was fit and Michael was kissing her, ew. Her eyes landed on mine and she looked stunned. She practically froze.
"Ella this Ashton, Ash this is Ella Kate." Michael smirked.
"Hi." She gave me a weak smile. Great now she's gonna act like she doesn't even know me.
"Nice to meet you." I rolled my eyes. Michael leaned down and whispered something in her ear.
"Don't mind him he's always in a bad mood." I heard him say.
"Thats not true." I snap. I didn't want her knowing that.
"Mate it is true." Calum shook his head. God I hate them so much right now.
