Confusion

- 2 -

Today is the second day of school since it started. Ashton and I got pretty close yesterday, I really wanted to get to know Luke better too. Today I planned to see luke and hang around him for a while. It was about 6:30am and I'm ready to go to school. I ran out to the bus stop where I saw Bethany, with another person.... Her new boyfriend.

"Hey lola, this is brett." Signalling her hand back at brett. "Brett, this is my friend lola." Bethany seems happier with a boyfriend now, which made me feel happy for her, but part of me wants my best friend back.

"Hi." I greet brett nicely.

"Hello." He smiles, looking back at bethany kissing her again. The bus arrives early, which I was happy about, so I didn't have to be around them kissing eachother, but just as I thought I didn't have to, we sat together, bethany wanted me to, so of course I would. I was just sat on my phone, hearing them pashing eachother loudly, I tried ignoring it, a few seconds later ashton was ringing me, I smile before picking up, as I didn't have to hear beth and her boyfriend another second.

"Hey!" I say through the phone.

"Hey." He says softly.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"I'm not coming today." He sighs.

"Aw, ashton." I pout.

He tries laughing a little. "I should be able to be there tomorrow, don't be too sad."

I giggle. "How can't I be sad? I'm sitting next to beth and her boyfriend, pashing eachother." I roll my eyes.

"I'm sure it'll be alright when you get to school." He chuckles.

I nod. "Hopefully." I sigh. "Then, who am I going to get answers off from?" I laugh.

He sassed. "Not me." Laughing afterwards.

"I'll just call anyway." I jokily say.

"You can try, but I'll proabably be snotting up on the couch." He laughs.

"Ew. Gross." I giggle again. Ashton makes me laugh a lot, that's another great thing about him.

"Well, I should go, text me later alright?"

"Sure." I say smiling.

"Bye!"

"Bye." I hang up the phone, finally arriving at school, bethany and brett leave holding hands, and I walk after, getting held back from the bus lady, who is actually one of my mums friends.

"You'll get used to it." She smiles.

"Are you sure?" I ask.

"Oh, yes, I was in your position when I was your age, then I met a guy, and didn't even think about my friend and her boyfriend." She laughs.

I nod. "I'll think about that." I walk away laughing, the bus lady, who is actually named molly, used to babysit my sister and I when we were little, so we've known her for a while, especially my mum. Anyway, after the little convosation, I walk into the locker area, where I found luke.

"Hey hemmings." I greet him.

"Hey." He smiles.

"What are you up to?" I ask.

"Just finishing some work. Uh, if your looking for my brother he's-" I inturrupt him.

"No, actually, I came here to talk to you." I smile.

"What about?" He asks, biting on his lip.

"I was wondering if you wanted to hang out today?" I ask.
