Ashton's POV:
I had an anatomy test today that I didn't really study for. It was Monday and I had all weekend but I never got around to it. I wrote a bunch of songs, well just the choruses and bridges and stuff not the full song, that takes a while.
We were all currently waiting at Calum's locker while he got the books he needed for next period. And by we I mean me, Luke and Calum.
Ella came walking up with Michael and he had his arm around her. I rolled my eyes at him. How could he act like he did nothing wrong.
"Hi Ella." Calum said closing his locker.
"Cal how are you feeling?" She asked him. Oh shit. I never told Calum that I told Ella Kate he was sick.
"Fine?" He laughed. Ella turned to me and then back at Calum. She pointed her finger at me.
"But Ashton said yo-." I cut her off before things got bad.
"Ella are you ready for that anatomy test?" She completely ignored me and carried on her conversation with Calum.
"When I was coming over on Friday to watch you guys practice Ashton answered the door and said you weren't feeling well and you didnt want me getting sick." She tilted her head. I saw Michael stiffen next to her.
"What no I wasn't," Calum laughs gives me a weird look and I give him a pleading one hoping he will catch on. "Oh yeah no I was sick yeah I had a uh fever." He nods his head. Ella looks up at Michael and he just shrugs.
"Okay Ella, I need you to help me study for Anatomy." I clap my hands before putting them on her shoulders and push her in the direction of anatomy. I wanted to leave before it got even more awkward. I kept my hands on her shoulders while she lead the way, kind of pushing her a bit.
"You know what's funny?" She said from in front of me. "How could Calum forget he was sick?" She smiled and turned around facing me in the middle of the hallway. Her smile faded when she realized how close we were. Her eyes searched my face waiting for me to say something.
"Oh he forgets a lot of things." I shrug. She nods still a little confused.
"Why are you being nice to me all of a sudden?" She tilts her head. She thinks I'm bipolar because one minute I'm nice to her but then I end up yelling at her the next. The reason I'm nice to her is because she's my best friend and I missed her but then I yell her because I remind myself she left without telling me and acted like it was nothing.
"I-I uh can I um walk you home after school?" I asked her I wanted to distract her from the old topic. I was about to tell her I missed her but I didn't want her to know that. I give her an awkward pat on the shoulder.
"Um okay." She furrows her eyebrows.
"Great! Can we study for our test now?" I asked and she gave me a small smile and nodded before walking into anatomy.

Ella's POV:
Since anatomy was my last period I waited for Ashton to finish his test. He seemed to struggle with the subject but he didn't want me to help him because he 'hated me.' But he actually does hate me and I don't blame him. The bell rang like 3 minutes ago and Ashton was still taking the test.
"Just give me 5 more minutes Ella." He mumbled while he was working. I sighed and texted Michael saying that I was still taking my anatomy test so he could just go ahead and drive home without dropping me off.
Five minutes later Ashton jumped out of his seat and turned in the test. He walked back with a small smile on his face.
"Do you think you did good?" I raised my eyebrow at him.
