My bestfriend (Ashton Irwin)

Chapter 39

Arianas POV

We had to show a presentation of a project we had been doing for a few weeks in performing arts, luckily I was put with Faye so we could focus it on something we both liked. We decided to perform the song we did for our vocal exam a while back (Lips are movin' Meghan Trainor). We had to choreograph dance moves, design the set and design costumes and makeup for it. 

We both have straight hair naturally and its in the middle of the school day so we cant do anything with our hair, Our makeup choices were the same as our normal ones except they were slightly bolder for example the eyeliner was a lot thicker and darker to make it stand out and we decided to go with red lipstick. 

The girls were changing in one room which was isolated from the boys, We pulled on our dresses which we despised and I dont understand why we picked them in the first place. My dress was hot pink in colour and it was a shoulder length and went down to around mid-thigh, it hugged my body perfectly and the bottom poofed out slightly. 

We had black heels that have small bows on them and we looked okay, Fayes outfit was the same except she had a red dress, "Is everyone ready?" Mrs James shouted, We all walked out of the small changing room and went into the hall and one group at a time got called up and we all had to watch. 

Peyton, Sarah and Hannah danced and sung to (Taylor Swift-22) They were doing peace hand gestures when they sang 22 in the chorus and I could tell Ashton was enjoying this, Their skirts barely covered them and they had these tiny black crop tops on that just cover your bra. 

"I dont want to go on!" I whined when we got called, "Dont be scared, it isnt that scary you baby!" Peyton smirked as she walked past and flipped her ratty brown hair in my face, Faye literally pulled me up onto the stage and the music started. 

Why am I so nervous? I have performed infront of people like this before, After that thought all of my nerves washed away and I was walking around the stage and dancing to the music. I even managed to get through my solos without freaking out. 

I was relieved when the song ended and we were applauded, "Slut!" I heard and looked straight at Sarah and Peyton who were sitting behind Ashton. "Feedback for Faye and Ariana?" Mrs James spoke up and I gulped. 

"Ariana could have worn more clothing, she looks slutty" Ashton laughed and I bit the inside of my cheek and blinked back any of my tears, "Ashton focus on the vocals and performance not the outfits!" Mrs James scolded and I felt myself getting hot and flustered about his comment. "Their vocals were amazing and the overall performance was awesome!" Michael shouted and I smiled to him. 

"I agree with Michael, very well done girls" She smiled and I looked towards Ashton and the girls once more to see them all laughing and pointing, "She looks so fat in that!" Sarah shouted and I gulped again and ran off stage and through the door back into the small changing room. 

I pulled the dress over my head and began to pull my uniform back on and wiped my makeup off since my tears would wash it off anyway, I angrily threw my outfit and shoes back into my bags and shoved them onto my shoulders and left the changing room and was faced with everyone staring at me. 

Faye got up and came over to me and she grabbed both of my hands, "I-Ignore him" She mumbled, "they have said something else havent they?" I sighed and she nodded. "Ariana are you okay?" Mrs James approached and I nodded, "Im fine" I lied. 

Calums POV

"You called her fat AGAIN!" Michael shouted, "Yeah, You need to stop! She starved herself lasttime and what do you think will happen now?!" Luke protested and I agreed with both of them. "I was only telling the truth" Ash shrugged.

"No your not! Your just listening to them again! You are hurting her and you wonder why she hates you all of the time! I could see her ribs Ashton! Your hurting her and making her hurt herself even more!" I shouted and looked to the door to see Ariana had disappeared. 

"She walked out because of your stupid comments! She kept mumbling something to herself before she left and she mentioned blades. So well done!" Faye began to break down into tears and was immediately comforted by Luke. 

"I dont care!" Ashton shouted, "Thats disgusting" Michael spat and shook his head, "She was in love with you Ashton, you kissed her and now all of a sudden your treating her like shit!" Luke added. 

"We arent ever going to get the old Ariana back.." I mumbled and remembered the day we first met her when she was laughing and smiling, that genuine smile is probably going to become non existent and shes going to hide her true emotions behind a fake smile, people that dont know her well wont see past the smile and assume shes okay. She isnt and probably wont be for a while.

"I warned her that Ashton wont ever love her. Shes too worthless for my boyfriends heart" Peyton leant forward and pecked his lips, "Excuse me?! Hes MY boyfriend!" Sarah shouted and suddenly this got interesting. "Ill have you know that he was my boyfriend FIRST" Peyton spat. 

"Ashton, choose who do you want me or her?!" Sarah stood up and glared at Peyton, "My girlfriend" he smiled and they both smiled assuming it was them and both tried to kiss him. "I meant Hannah" He smiled and I burst into laughter. 

"You slut! you apsolute slut! How dare you date my boyfriend!" Peyton screamed and stomped her foot, "Stop your tantrum, he broke up with you ages ago" Hannah spat and kissed Ashton, We all started laughing at the bitch fight which was happening behind us, Ariana would love this. 

"GUYS! WE FORGOT ABOUT ARIANA!" Faye screamed and ran out of the room, Luke followed and me and Michael didnt know what to do.
