BULLY-a.i-l.h

Chapter 5-pictures are worth 1000 words

-arias POV-

Ashton places me back on my feet and smirks like the loser he is. I smirk back even though my whole body feels electric. The photo prints, revealing a really adorable picture. Ashton is kissing me and the other three boys are looking back in utter confusion and shock.

"Can we do a few more guys? I want some for the sleepover room!" I say. The four boys nod and Calum and Mikey run to another one of Luke's boxes, pulling out some joke disguises. I put on a pair of wide rimmed glasses and run to my suitcase, grabbing a pair of black ripped skinny jeans and a nirvana tee shirt, which is still too big for me, but now it's just a loose tee shirt. I cut off the too long sleeves, turning it into a muscle tee, and go into my new bedroom, changing, and then running back in my new outfit. I grab a baby pink tutu from the box and get into the frame, pressing the button on the camera. We all strike crazy poses, including Luke doing a y stand, Calum pulling double peace signs, Michael sticking out his tounge and Ashton doing a sad face, while I do some kind of crazy split jump, touching my back foot off my head.

Next, we do a cute group picture where each boy is holding onto me, picking me up, and I have one hand on my head and one on my hip, pulling a huge smile for the camera, as the other boys just stand casually, looking around.

A few pictures later, we decide to do funny wedding pictures in some of my old dresses. Luke pulls on an old red gown of mine, it has a tulle skirt and it doesn't even touch the ground for him, where he's so tall. Calum puts on a purple mini dress and pulls down his pants, turning backwards. I snap the picture and laugh at their expressions.

Next, Ashton and Michael get a picture together. Ashton grabs one of my newer dresses, which I just bought to wear for fun, and it's a red dress completely covered in lace. He can't even zip it up but somehow manages to get the sleeves on over his arms, which are quite muscly, just saying. Mikey grabs a royal blue dress which is hi-lo and also finds the matching headpiece, which I wore to a ball a few years ago, and puts it all on.

Finally, I'm left alone.

"I'll take the picture with her." Ashton volunteers, taking a black suit jacket from Luke's box and pulling it on over his grey tee shirt. I put on a dress which I bought from Burberry which was for my seventeenth birthday party, just me and Luke and my Mom at home, but we all dressed out to the nines.

The dress is a rosy flesh tone, and it's chiffon all over. The skirt is chiffon ruffles and it's gorgeous, I still love it. (Go on polyvore and refine your search to the highest price range, Burberry and then it'll show up.) Ashton picks me up bridal style and for some reason, kisses me again just as Cal takes the picture. We take another one in the classic prom pose, and then we take a final one trying to be tumblr girls, looking sadly at the floor.

"Don't push your luck Irwin." My brother says after we take the picture. He winks at me as I take some of the pictures to the photo shop, which is downstairs, and get them blown up really big so that I can frame them. They're finished within ten minutes and framed in plain black and white plastic frames. I bring them back upstairs and Ashton helps me hang a few in the sleepover room, and a few in the living room, as well as one above my bed. I love them.

"You guys are the best." I say as I grab my MacBook and pull up a website that sells sleepover things, like blow up mattresses and stuff. I order ten double sized blow up mattresses and also a mini fridge for upstairs from the same website, and pay for it with my debit card.

I also use the intercom downstairs to ask for four extra sets of bedding, and we all sleep in the living room together that night, not even bothering to change out of our dresses.

I walk into school the next day feeling majorly confident and ready for anything. Only a week until Christmas break, and five months until I graduate, since graduates at my school get out in May instead of June.
