Loser [Cashton AU]

Chapter 5

"Boardwalk! Pay up bitch!"

"No way, I got four!"

"That's obviously a five, Mali!"

"Calum, please don't make me pay."

"You landed on it, you pay."

A pout formed on Mali's lips as Calum smirked. She went through her monopoly cash and reluctantly handed him four hundred dollars. Calum had a smug expression as he placed the money neatly with his others. It was sorted by each amount and his mum chuckled at her kids.

Every once and a while, there's a time where the Hood family has a game night. They play video games, board games and card games constantly. It usually ends with them not talking for about ten days and there's tension in the house, Calum insisting that Mali owes him four hundred dollars for landing on his boardwalk. Luckily she paid up this time.

Right now there wasn't tension, just Mali whining about him being a bitch and saying he should stick a saw up his ass and to smack himself with a hammar. It was rather violent in his opinion, but he just laughed and his mum gave her a warning look to not be such a jerk.

He was dressed in plaid pajama pants and a white t-shirt, his hair was kind of messy and he basically looked like trash but it didn't matter much. They always dress in pajamas, even though it's practically eight and he usually just puts pajamas on right before he goes to bed.

He chuckled, moving his dog piece five places and landed on community chest, of course gaining a hundred dollars. As anyone with eyes could see, he was the best at Monopoly. No one could beat him and it wasn't hard for him since he had a good strategy for it.

Suddenly, his mum went and she landed right on his boardwalk as well. It as obviously luck, and then the game ended since she couldn't pay full price. Then Mali lost and well, that's really how it ended. Even with selling all her properties, Calum had hotels and houses on his property.

Thus the tension began and Calum smugly cleaned up the living room with his mum and sister. She kept glaring at him whenever he mentioned winning again and they put a point under his name. They keep score and at the end of the year, the winner gets a hundred dollars from their mum if one of them win and the sibling does the others chores for a month or their mums if she won. So far, Calum won twice and Mali and their mum only won once.

After saying goodnight, Calum went upstairs and got his bag ready for school along with picking out his outfit. He laid it out, brushing his teeth and laying down. It wasn't late, so he just laid back to watch some TV and wait until it was night time. He put on some Nick show and relaxed for a bit.

It was around nine o'clock and he leaned back with a bag of chips. He then noticed his phone beeped and he saw it was Ashton of all people. The only reason he has his number is because Michael forced him to put it in his phone saying they need to call or text every once and a while.

Hello, neanderthal.

[To: Asston Irloser]

Hey, loser. Why the fuck r u texting me?

[From: Asston Irloser]

Cause Mr.Clifford insisted I talked to you and now he's basically glaring at me since I keep rolling my eyes. What are you doing?

[To: Asston Irloser]

Watchin tv, wbu?

[From: Asston Irloser]

Can you talk like a normal human being? Please use correct grammar, idiot.

Calum scoffed, pouting and decided not to text back. He didn't appreciate Ashton practically insulted his grammar. He chooses not to text properly because it takes longer and it's not like he's in school, so he should be allowed to type any way he wanted to.
