As soon as Ashton entered the Clifford household, he was being interrogated, and also recieved some very nasty looks from the boys due to his punctuality. Or lack there of.

"Please don't tell me that you're actually into Finn, the obnoxious." Luke asked with a giggle, making a slight twist to the Adventure Time character.

"What makes you think that I'm into her?"

"Dude, the sexual tension in English earlier, don't tell me you didn't sense anything."

"We're just being concerned friends, we don't want you falling into her trap." Calum said as Ashton raised his eyebrows at his friends, taking a seat on the sofa where Michael was sat playing FIFA.

"She's like, a man eater or something." Calum said taking the other controller off of Luke.

"She's fucked a lot of guys, Ash, and fucked with them too." Michael scoffed, clearly frustrated with Ashton's lack of knowledge of Finn's sex life.

"But she's always so angry." He said.

"Maybe she hasn't been laid in a while." Luke laughed, cheering for Calum when he scored. Michael punched Luke in the arm and continued to play. 

"But don't go getting any ideas, Ash." Luke said rubbing the spot where he'd just been hit, mumbling about it leaving a mark.

"I don't get why you're worried, she clearly hates me." Ashton laughed and dipped a dorito in salsa, wiping his hand on the back of Calum's shirt.

"Dude, that's gross. New shirt, that's just disrespectful." Calum swatted Ashton's hand away whilst trying to score another goal, Ashton had no interest in the game at all and barely knew what was going on.

"So you know about that English trip? It's bullshit for one, but it's for confidence building or some shit." Luke said. "We're going camping."

"You guys get to go camping? Apart from the fact that it has nothing to do with English and it's the middle of October, but I'm kind of jealous." Michael sighed and paused the game, turning to Luke. "So why are you going camping in English?"

"I got told that Mrs Dray drew a short straw at the teachers meeting, she had to choose a class to take camping, apparently the board of education want to see progress in student relationships." Luke replied, sounding a lot more focused than usual, it was clear he was probably the only person not dreading it.

"Fantastic." Calum said, his tone laced with sarcasm. Ashton wasn't a big fan of camping, but it meant a few days off school so he was fine with it. Calum, however, was not.

"I fucking hate camping, it sucks." 

"Like your band!" Luke shouted, laughing and waiting for a high five from Ashton.

"Dude, it's your band too." 

"Yeah, well. You still suck and I hate you guys." Luke laughed again, he was really finding himself amusing.

"I hope we get to stick together, I can't be dealing with anybody else in our English class." Ashton sighed.

"Yeah, unless it's Finn then you're all over that." Michael said from across the room, he'd finished his game of FIFA and was tuning his guitar. The boys followed suit and followed Michael to their practice area. It took them a while to get started but they finally settled down and did what they came to do. Banding.

After a good couple of hours of practice, and playing pranks on each other, they decided to take a break, which meant discussing Ashton's interests in Finn, again.

"Look, I don't wanna fuck her. I don't even really want to speak to her." Ashton sighed, he sat on the sofa with Luke's head on his lap, his long legs stretched out, covering the sofa. "I don't see why it's such a big issue anyway."  He continued, shaking his head.

"You need to leave her alone, mate." Michael said rather defensively. The boys perked up when they heard his tone of voice and turned around to look at him. "I mean, she's bad news. That's all." He added, trying to get the attention away from his previous statement.

"Mike, you sound... jealous." Calum said slowly, wondering if he should actually finish the sentence or not.

"Fuck off, why would I be jealous if Ash wants to fuck her?" 

"I don't want to fuck her!" Ashton exclaimed, getting really annoyed with their assumptions. Luke lifted his head and sat up to face Ashton.

"But she might want to fuck you, and that's why Mikey's jealous." He said with a straight face, the innocence shining through his bright blue eyes, he looked over to Michael, whose eyes shone with envy, although he didn't mention it.

"It's whatever. I have absolutely no interest in her." He lied. Of course he had interest in her, that's why he kept speaking to her. But in his mind, well subconsciously at least, it was nothing at all.

"Yeah, keep telling yourself that. I'm just hoping you don't fall into her trap." Michael said with a sigh. 

Ashton thought to himself, what would happen if he got close to Finn? Did he want to find out?

sorry this is lame and it's a filler but whatever. xo

next chapter will be good (i hope) lmao bye
