Loser [Cashton AU]

Chapter 2

His car was nice, you could say. He had a black cobra mustang and no he isn't spoiled. He actually saved up for this himself and worked very hard to do so. Of course, his parents chipped in to finish off paying it and it was more of a seventeenth birthday present since they added over a thousand dollars to help.

After getting the car, he didn't continue working because he wanted to focus on school and soccer. People were jealous of his car and he always made sure it was clean and shiny and filled with gas. He's not like those guys who name his car, but he likes having it look nice. Almost to show off how hard he worked for it.

When he did get his car (five months ago) Luke was there with him and helped pick it out. The cobra was calling his name and they took it on a test drive. After making sure he enjoyed how it ran and checked it out with his parents, they agreed and now he has the coolest car in school.

They go to a public school in Sydney, very well enjoying it since that means no uniforms. It was great since not many people have cars in his school and he's pretty popular. Now, unlike a lot of popular people on TV, he's not a bitch. He's actually quite nice and sometimes flirty, but that's it.

However, when it comes to Ashton you could say Calum is a downright asshole and jackass. He doesn't try to be mean to people, but him and Ashton just don't work well together. It's not like Ashton's a princess either, they're both dickheads to each other and therefor they hate each other.

Once he picked up Luke from his house, they headed to school. It's a tradition since Luke sometimes helps pay his gas tank and doesn't want to take the bus. He also drives Luke home after soccer practice occasionally. Only if his parents can't if they're working or busy doing something.

If anyone else asked for a ride, he'd reluctantly let them down or say yes with guilt. He hates seeing the disappointed look or frowns on people's faces. Especially if he's the cause of it. Not when it comes to Ashton, though. He feels proud when he makes Ashton sad because when Ashton insults him, it hurts a lot.

He doesn't try to show it because he likes keeping a straight face on. But, when Ashton puts him down and hurts him or embarrasses Calum, it tugs at his heart strings. Which it really shouldn't because he insults Ashton a lot. Neither are more rude to each other than the other, whatever they say or do is pretty equal. Both are douches and enjoy making the other upset or hurt.

Speaking of Ashton, Luke and Calum were laughing as they pulled into the school parking lot. They were rapping to Bang Bang on the radio and Calum was hysterical over how bad Luke was. It was really amusing, but suddenly he glanced up and realized he swerved a bit, making Ashton who was on a bike quickly turn and bump into a curb, landing on the grass. Luckily he had a helmet on.

Calum gaped, parking quickly and rushed out of the car. People were watching from the school in awe, as if it was the most amusing thing ever and a few even had phones out. Luke and Calum crouched down to where Ashton was sitting up and rubbing his scraped elbows.

He glared at Calum,"You seriously need to pay attention. I do not see how you even passed your drivers test, or own a car that fast because you can barely focus on the road! You could have killed me, neanderthal!"

"To think I was actually going to apologize," Calum mumbled under his breath, scoffing when Luke helped Ashton up. He glanced down at the glasses, not even bothering to pick them up and scoffed,"Who knows? It could have been your fault, watch where you're going. And what's with the bike, loser?"

"Not everyone can afford a freaking mustang," Ashton snapped, cleaning off his glasses that thankfully weren't broken. Considering his last ones were from his and Calum's fight, these were his last pair. He picked up his yellow bike and was happy it wasn't scraped up.
