Ch5: Tee Shirt

I bump into Ashton heading out of class. He wears a white Nirvana T shirt and tight black skinny jeans with floppy hair in the wind.  We end up walking towards his chemistry to catch up.

"How have ya been?"

His face was beginning to redden due to the humid weather. I can feel my clothes sticking to my body and I am sweating underneath these clothes. All I can think about is getting out of them. 

"Meltin' and you?"

"Roasting in this oven," We both chuckle. " Wondering if Luke would consider a sunny check this week for rehearsals." 

"I'm assuming a big event is coming up."

His smile widens. "No, it's not for a couple weeks. Hey, would you wanna come watch us rehearse?"

I ponder the thought. I was planning on walking around Newcastle for my project. Or actually, I made this plan when I had no friends, and the guys are my friends. Right? Well, for one, I know Ashton and Luke are because they've been friendly. Calum and I still stand in the middle and Michael hasn't said much to me.

"Sure. When?"

"Tonight at seven in the lounge. Maybe you can help us getting out of rehearsals for the rest of the week," He walks past by me and turns around quickly. "Be there." and heads off straight into class.

As I head back to my dorm, dying underneath the blazing sun, I plan a schedule in my head. When I get into my room, I undress and hop into the shower to rinse off the sweat. After I get out, I realize that I had two whole hours until I met up with the guys. I then decide on a small nap.

The nap ended up taking the whole two hours, which made me rush out the door. I put on a royal blue dress with white sandals. The sandals made a "clack" sound as I head over to the lounge. The air was cool and fresh against my skin, nothing compared to the afternoon. The moon was barely starting to rise and the wind picked up a little bit. Leaves rustled as the branches swayed slowly to the side to the tune of the winds whistle.

By the time I get inside the guys had a crowd surrounding them as they set up their stage. When Ashton looked up from his drums, I caught his gaze. He smiles and heads down towards my direction.

"You made it!" He shouts over the crowd.

"Wouldn't miss it," I shout back. " Quite the crowd!"

"I know, hardly gets like this."

"The others?"

As Ashton turned around, Calum saw us and made his way over.

"Hey, Melissa." He hugs me. The smell of his cologne is enticing, making me want to snuggle up in his arms until his scent is unforgettable.  "Didn't know you were coming?"

"Yeah, Ashton invited me earlier." I smile. We heard a deep voice trying to yell over the crowd.

"Ashton, need ya here!" Luke calls out. 

"There's my cue. enjoy the show Mel." He kisses my cheek before he left.

Calum looks at me with smiling eyes. "So, how ya been? "

"Well. You?"

"Rehearsing. In which, I should get back too. I'll meet up with you afterwards to hang. Don't leave Mel." He points at me as he make his way back to the stage.

I don't think I want to leave afterwards. 

After a few minutes they were  beginning. Michael took the microphone. "Hello, everyone. We're Five Seconds of Summer and this is 'Everything I Want'. "
