We all ended up going home, I was having some mixed emotions about Ashton. Why should I care so much? He's just a guy I met today. But the way he stares at you looks as if he's looking into your soul, as if he knows what your feeling. It blows my mind, I felt my phone vibrate it was form a random number.

445-237-1121
Heyyyyyyyyyyyy this is Michael:). It read I laughed and changed his contact go Pinky. And texted him back

To: Pinky
Heyyyyyyyyyyy :) he replied shortly, he sent the funniest texts. It felt as if I've known him for ages. Darcy also texted me and talking about all this stuff then she called me. She definitely has something for Luke. It's obvious by the way she talks about him! I smiled and said goodnight before I went to bed. Wow good job Lara only been here for less then a day and already made friends! I say highfiving myself, you need to high five yourself occasionally!
I drifted off into deep sleep.

••••••Next Morning••••••

I was awoken by the sound of my stupid phones alarm clock. I got up and washed my teeth and face I was to lazy to take a shower, so I threw on some black leggings and an oversized
sweater that said I fancy the drummer. I decided to put my hair up in a bun and apply slight mascara and wear my glasses today. I wore contacts yesterday, I looked pretty decent.

Cal was going to pick me up so I grabbed an apple and waited for him outside. Finally a blue, jaguar pulled up. it wasn't one of these rich people ones but it was cool! I got in and said hey "what's up girly." He joked I laughed and he grabbed my apple out of my hands taking a bite. "Hey no!" I say taking it back he laughed, I ended up giving the rest to him it was too big.

We arrived at school and I looked around searching for the guys and Darcy. I found them by the tree in the courtyard, "hellllo." I smiled they all said hey and I felt Ash's gaze on me. I smiled and so did he, I blushed and looked away. The bell rang and I gave Darcy and Michael hugs and we left for first period. I had World History, Physical Science, Gym and Art today.

First period flew by fast, the teacher was really chill and nice. Second period rolled by and it was a little more fun because Darcy and Michael were in the class too. Then we went to lunch, I met up with everyone and we decided to go outside. I wasn't hungry so I didn't get anything. Michael got 2 slices of pizza and scarfed them down. I laughed and he rolled his eyes. We talked about our classes.

It was Friday so yay the weekend is tomorrow! Not that I mind school I just like to you know..relax. School finally ended and we all agreed to drive to Luke's house. We reached his house he had a fairly big house witch looked nice and clean. we went in and Luke said hi to I assume his mum. We all went upstairs and went into his room, It was filled with band posters such as GreenDay, Nirvana, Mayday parade, Black Viel brides, All Time Low and more. Their was this one band logo I didn't recognize it said 5 Seconds of summer on it. I shrugged and sat down.

It was really fun hanging out with them, I noticed a guitar near his closet. "You play guitar?" I blurted out. Luke nodded and smiled "Well Ya see Ash, Cal, Mike and I are kind of a band.." he laughs. "Oh haha that's cool!" I remembered my shirt and raised my eyebrow. Ashton gave me a look and chuckled. "Can you guys play something for me!" I asked eager to see how they sound.

They agreed and got up to go downstairs do the basement were their equipment was Luke apparently was the lead singer, Ashton was drummer...nice day to wear your shirt Lara I thought to myself. And Calum and Michael were the guitarists and bassists. They looked at each other and counted off. A familiar bear started playing, I realized it was The City by The 1995.

I say next to Darcy in astonishment, they sounded so good! Luke's voice mixed in with Calums and Michael's and along with Ashton's slight singing parts. It was amazing, the way that Ashton hit those drums, making his muscle stand out in his rather tight t-shirt. Making me stare at his perfect beat and they way he tapped his foot and bit his lip when he got really into a part. They finished and Darcy and I stood up and clapped. "Guys thats amazing! How are you not signed yet!?" I ask surprised they all laughed and thanked us. After all that fun we just ate and watched a terrifying movie. I literally had to hide in Calum's neck I was that scared. He just laughed occasionally and wrapped his arms around my scared body making me feel safe and warm.

I ended up falling asleep, but before I could completely fall asleep I thought I heard Calum whisper "Goodnight, beautiful" and kissed my forehead but then again I don't know.

Calum's POV

Lara basically was cradled on my lap the whole movie it was pretty cute. She's a really pretty, smart, funny girl. I have a feeling that I like her. And also I can tell Ashton likes her but he hasn't said anything yet. She soon drifted off into sleep as so did Darcy and Luke after making out the whole entire movie. Michael fell asleep too. I brought the blanket over me and Lara and kissed her forehead as I whispered "Goodnight, beautiful" and we both were in deep sleep soon.
