Badboy // M.C.

Chapter 17

I am back!!! Explanation at the end.

I wake to banging on Michael's bedroom door. My head was resting on his chest before I realised what was happenning and I shook Michael awake.

"Michael, somebody is at the door." I shake his again from his sleepy state.

"What?" he drowsily asks me.

"Go answer the door." He gets up and I go into his closet to hide from his dad.

"What are you doing?" He laughs at me.

"Well if it's your dad, we don't want him to see me in your room at eight in the morning.

He shakes his head and laughs again. "Don't worry, Anna, he has seen me do a lot worse."

"I don't think I wanna know what those things are," I laugh back at him. I decide against going in the closet and just stand behind Michael as he opens the door.

Michael opens the door wide enough so I can see, too. I'm surprised at our three friends, Calum, Luke, and Alice at his bedroom door.

"Michael! Have you seen-" Calum sees me and releases a deep breath. "Oh, thank god. We were worried about you." Alice comes from behind Calum and hugs me.

"Well she would be at home otherwise. Why are you guys freaking out?" Michael gives us all a confused look.

Calum explains what happened to Michael, and Michael just laughs at the end.

"Wow, ditching your own friends for some boy," he jokes and I playfully hit his arm.

"Shut up, Clifford. It's a lot more than just some boy," I tell him.

"Okay!" Alice squeals. "Time to celebrate! Boys, go practice." Quite a celebration, making them practice, but Michael and I get dressed and we meet our friends waiting downstairs.

"So we were talking," Luke starts. "Maybe we could go to the mall. There's a local band performing at the opening of a new store."

I look at Michael and he nods. "Let's do it. Way more fun than practicing."

We all pile into Alice's car and drive to the mall. We all sing along to All Time Low on the way, which got extrememly loud. Alice pulls into an open space near the front doors.

"I want you all to know this band is amazing!" Calum tells us as excited as a child on Christmas morning. I laugh at him as Michael grasps my hand.

We walk slowly towards the store. I think they are opening a new Hot Topic. To be totally honest, these three boys shop there way too much. I shop at Hot Topic every once in a while, but not nearly as often as they do.

There are about one to two hundred people here. A really great turn out, until i see a familiar head of hair.

"Michael, maybe we should go. We can let them stay,a nd enjoy some time by ourselves." I suggest the idea for one reason and one reason only. Thar one person.

"You wanna frickle frackle?' he asks me excitedly. I shake my head at him at giggle. He really perks up when I meantion anything that could lead to something involving making out or even more.

"No, Michael. I just wanna spend time with you."

"So no frickle frackle?"

I shake my head and his shoulders sink, along with his face looking dissapointed.

"Can't we stay for the-" Michael cuts himself off. He's looking in a direction that is certainly not my face. He sees the person I was dreading him to see. Ashton.
