Troublemaker (5SOS)

Chapter One

Ashton kept his head down, his eyes scanning the shoes of everyone he passed as he, Michael, Calum, and Luke made it toward the end of the line. He would have never thought of going to a movie in a cemetery, but apparently it was a popular thing to do in this city, based on the amount of people waiting to grab seats. "Thanks for coming, guys. I'm supposed to meet this girl, but I'm not really sure what to expect, or if she'll even show".

Luke raised his eyebrows; this was the first time that he's ever heard Ashton mention someone he's interested in. "What does she look like?"

Ashton flushed and adjusted the red bandanna tied around his head. "Well that's the thing, it's kind of a blind date."

The boys exchanged looks of disbelief. There were a million questions, but no one asked any of them until Michael opened his mouth. "Why don't you just join Tinder, man? At least then you kind of know what you're getting into."

Ashton rolled his eyes, laughing. He didn't like the way that everyone judged each other by a 5 second glance at their photos. Plus, he was looking for something a little more serious than a one night stand.

"Have you actually spoken to her? Like heard her voice?" Calum adds, his left eyebrow raised. Ashton shook his head, and Michael drew in a breath through his gritted teeth.

"You know you might actually be meeting up with a man, right?"

Luke hit Michael in the arm, and Michael retaliated by whacking him in the stomach. Luke grimaced and noticed Ashton's nervousness in the way he bounced his leg. "Mike's kidding. What's her name? And how are you going to find her in all of this?"

They looked behind them. At least three dozen more people have joined them in line since the start of this conversation.

"Tara. She's wearing bright yellow converse. That's all I know."

From that moment on, everyone's eyes were focused on the ground, watching the shuffling of feet in flats, sneakers, and flip flops. It took a half hour to find a spot on the hill, a decent distance away from the screen. They were waiting for night to fall in order to play the 1980's cult classic, The Lost Boys, which meant that they had less than a half hour to find Tara.
