The boy next door || a.i.

1.9

It's been a week since I saw any of the boys, I had talked to Michael through the week. He told me that he had a girlfriend, and he has been going on and on about her all week. Until Friday night. It was now Sunday. I walked over to their house, and before knocked on the door, I could hear voices.

"It's ok, she's not worth it, if she did that"

"I know, I know. But still..."

"No buts, she's not worth it. Forget her"

I shrugged, brushing off what I heard, and knocked on the door. A grumpy Michael answered after a few seconds.

"Hey!" He said, his mood switching instantly.

"Hi Michael" i said, ruffling his hair.

"Don't mess up my hair Emmalynn" he laughed

"Ew, don't call me that, I'm Emma. That just makes me sound like a nanna."

I walked through their hall, and into the lounge, jumping on ashton, who was unaware that I was here. He made a high pitched screaming sound, and I laughed.

"Hi Ashton" I said, still laughing.

"Emma" he grumbled. "I was just going to come over. We are about to go bowling, wanna come with?"

"Prepared to get your ass kicked"

"Yeah, you are prepared. I'm good at bowling" he sat up straight "and last time doesn't count."

"Excuses, excuses" I rolled my eyes.

We got up, and walked into the kitchen, were i said 'hi' to the rest of the boys.

"Mikey, is your girlfriend coming today?" I asked. Michael muttered something under his breath. He stormed off into his room as the boys all looked at me funny "What?"

"They're not together any more Emma." Luke whispered.

I turned on my heels, rolling my eyes at myself "Michael"

I knocked on his door softly, and he came to let me in.

"I'm sorry for bringing it up" I said, my voice inaudible.

"It's ok, you didn't know."

"Can I ask what happened?"

"Well, she was just using me to make a dude jealous. And she's not worth that anyway."

I pulled Michael into a hug, and rubbed his back softly. "It's ok. now, come down stairs, and let's kick ash's ass again in bowling" I smirked.

"Thank you mr. Hemmings, you have lanes 18 and 19 for 2 and a half hours. Have a nice day" the lady at the desk said to Luke.

"Ew. Mr. Hemmings that's my dad. And my grandpa."

We all laughed as we walked over to the second counter to get our shoes.

"So the teams are.." Luke spoke loudly. "Team one. Emma, ashton and Michael. Team two, kaya, calum and me. Let's go!"

Ashton was first to bowl off our team. The ball came out of the return, and he walked over to get it. He was acting really aggressive, and overpowering. He picked up the ball, and instantly put it down back on the return.

"Ah, it's to heavy" he shouted.

We all burst into hysterical laughter.

"Ashton, an eight isn't heavy, idiot."

The rest of the afternoon was great. Our team (thanks to ashton) lost 2 of the 3 games we played. Which meant paying.

"You guys, have to tend to our needs for the rest of the night." Luke cooed, as we walked through the door of their house. "I want chocolate and lollies"

"And cake!" Calum jumped up in the air.

"Fine" I rolled my eyes "but you're sharing."
