"Damn it Ashton stop touching my taco!" I yell as he reaches his hand across the table again and I slap it. He retracts his hand quickly, rubbing it as he holds it to his chest.
"Jeez that hurt." He mumbles.
"That's what you get." I shoot back and he glares at me. Everyone else at the table starts laughing and then we sit in a comfortable silence.
"I'm hungry." Avery dad and we all look at her.
"You just ate three tacos." Morgan states and she shrugs.
"Still hungry." She says standing and walking back up to the counter and we all start laughing again.
"I'm jealous of her metabolism. I aspire to be that skinny." Morgan says and Calum and I both frown.
"You're perfect the way you are Mo." He says slinging his arm around her shoulders and pulling her to him. I smile at them as Liam pulls me into his chest as well. Avery comes back shortly after and glares at us cuddling.
"Remind me why I didn't invite Luke to this?" She asks and I laugh.
"Number one, kid knows nothing about soccer. Number two, didn't you tell me he had guitar lessons?" I say and she shrugs.
"Still wish he was here." She mumbles sitting down and opening her fourth taco. I shake my head at her and chuckle as the mild sauce she poured on it runs down her chin.
"It's okay Avery we're in the same boat." Ashton says. Liam snorts behind me and I elbow him in the stomach.
"Owwwww!" He moans and I roll my eyes.
"Anyways... When's the first girls game?" Ashton asks to no one in particular.
"First home game is next Friday." Avery says with her mouth full of food.
"Do you know who you play?" Liam asks, leaning his head against mine.
"That prep school? I don't remember what their name is." I say and he nods against my head.
"I'll be there." He says kissing the side of my head making me smile. Avery and Morgan both make a gagging noise and I roll my eyes at them. Avery finished her fifth taco and wads the trash up.
"We ready to leave?" Calum asks standing up. We all nod and stand up as well. Liam links our hands as we walk out the doors.
"Are the girls still with me?" I ask and they all nod. "Anyone want to come to my house? I doubt my parents are there." I say and they all shrug.
"I'm in." Ashton says.
"Me too." Liam and Calum say.
"You can ask Luke if you want Ave." I say and she nods.
"You should ask Connor." Morgan says and both Liam and I glare at we while she smiles like an angel.
"No she shouldn't." Liam snaps and I roll my eyes.
"I'll think about it." I tell Morgan. Liam sighs turning to his own car.
"When should we be there?" Ashton asks.
"Since Ave is tiny as hell, we'll have to stop by her house for clothes for her. So an hour or so?" I say and he nods hopping in his car and driving away. Calum kisses Morgan goodbye and gets in his car too. I look around for Liam but he seems to be gone already. I shake my head and get into my car Morgan and Avery following after. "Okay. So we'll get Ave's clothes but I'm personally craving some ice cream so we'll do that after." I say once I'm in the car.
"You always crave ice cream Rain." Morgan mumbles and I roll my eyes.
"And you don't?" I ask and she laughs.
"Yeah good point. Hurry up though I have to pee."

"CALUM BROUGHT ICE CREAM!" Calum yells as he runs through the door of my house.
Avery, Morgan, and I look at each other simultaneously before bursting into laughter.
"You guys already got ice cream didn't you?" He says slouching. We nod and he groans before walking away.
"Is Luke coming Ave?" Morgan asks and she nods.
"He should be here in like 10 minutes." She says.
The front door opens revealing Liam who doesn't have a happy look in his face. I stop moving towards him when I see his expression.
"What's wrong?" I ask. He moves over to the side and I see Connor standing in the doorway.
"Why is he here?"
