The Only Reason (Ashton Irwin)

Chapter 8

Mariean's P.O.V

I smiles at Connor whenever he tells me something, and laugh -fake laugh- at his jokes. I can't say that his jokes weren't funny at all 'cause I'm not listening. Yeah I'm not listening and I know it's rude. But yeah, I'm rude.

I look at every sides, every corner of this club. Still, no sign of Ashton.

Why did he left me alone with his bunch of friends? He knows that I'm awkward and rude to those people I don't know. Did he trusted me that I will not curse these people?

I looked down to my phone and sighed. I wish I know his number so I can text him.

I want to text Alyssa to ask what is Ashton's number but she might be sleeping or she might wonder and think those things. And if I asked her, I know she won't stop teasing me all day.

Dude, Alyssa is childish sometimes. I remember before, I got angry at her for one week for teasing me to the person I don't like. She begged, asked for forgiveness, and cried to me (she's sweet and emotional) and said that it's her first time to see me liking someone. Then I got angry at her again for saying that and that made me angry at her for one week.

You know why did I forgave her?

She bought me a one box of pizza.

Crazy, I know.

"So, Mariean.." the curly boy caught my attention when he said my name. "You and Ashton?"

My eyes widen and had a heart attack. I coughed many times. I coughed so hard that it even made me to almost lose my breath. After the coughing moment, I quickly shook my head and glared at that curly boy.

"Why do you always ask that?" I rolled my eyes at him.

The curly haired boy, Bradley, licked his bottom lip and started to think. "Umm.. I think Daniel was the one who asked that."

"Actually, Daniel asked that to Ashton, not you" James scowled.

I raised my eyebrow disapprovingly at him. I really think he hates me. Well, the feelings is mutual.

"Still, you people asked" I mumbled under my breath.

"James" Connor gave him a stern look.

James rolled his eyes and shrugged his shoulders, "Whatever."

James stood up from his seat and before leaving our table he tossed his cup of beer to the floor. How cool.

Tristan suddenly laughed when James left. All of us gave him a weird look. What would you think about someone who laughed out of the blue?

Tristan is still laughing and giggling like a teenage girl. Seconds later, Vanessa spoke with no emotion in her voice. Seriously, is this girl emotionless? "What's funny?"

Tristan's laugh died down but his smile never left his face. He scrunched his nose before speaking, "I think James is in his weekly red days."

All of them laughed so hard (except Vanessa) and so loud while I just keep smiling and chuckling. Tristan is funny though.

"How can James bleed if you raped him without protection, Tris?" my eyes widen and the laugh of these people got louder when Bradley said that.

"ARE YOU GUYS GAY?!" I blurted out.

They clutched to their stomach and laughed even more. The Vanessa girl laughed too. I bit my lower lip. Am I too funny? Or am I too embarrassing?

"So I've been told" Tristan tried to fake hurt but laughed in the end.
