The Girl Next Door
His 'Actual' Girlfriend
His smile grows and we walk into the building.
I see Mike leaning against the lockers, talking to Luke and Calum.
Despite him being very insecure deep inside, he won't show it.
He's got this 'bad boy' image thingy and I honestly don't know what most people see in that.
He notices me as Ashton and I walk pass them, still holding hands.
"You gotta apologise." Ashton whispers.
"I don't need to do anything." I grumble.
"You'll have to-"
"Can we please not talk about this now?" I cut him, off.
He sighs but nods his head.
"Fine. But you're going to apologise. My family is already fucked up so you should be happy yours isn't totally fucked up yet."
He walks off, around the corner where I can't see him anymore.
I sigh and lean against the lockers.
He's right.
I should make things right when I still can.
I sigh again.
I'll apologise to Mike after school, or when I see him.
As soon as possible at least.
Suddenly I feel lips against mine.
"But I'm not mad at you." Ashton mumbles before kissing my forehead and walking off again.
I smile to myself.
It's kinda cute that it got him worried.
When I have lunch break I walk to the cafeteria.
Wow, May, what a surprise.
Yeah, PLOT TWIST.
You really got us on that on. Wow.
So original. So creative. So.. Ordinary.
Okay, I'm boring as fuck. I know.
But I'm just not the one to skip school or smoke weed in break.
I'm just your basic good girl.
I see Mike sitting at their usual table.
Well, I said that I would talk to him when I saw him, right?
Oh c'mon May, grow a vagina. Let's go.
I walk to their table but stop when I see that Emma is sitting at their table too.
Fucking. Freakking. Emma.
And she's laughing with my best friend.
Well, ex-best friend...
"Hey, Cutie." I hear Ashton from behind me and I feel two arms wrap around me.
"Hey." I mumble.
"Already apologised?"
I shake my head and nod to their table.
"No way I'm going there now."
He notices it too and sighs.
"I might wanna watch out." I mumble.
"Oh c'mon, you really think that Nikki would do something to you? Believe it or not but I think- No, I know that she misses you probably as much as you miss her."
"I believe that when I see it." I turn around and walk pass him to the doors.
I look over my shoulder one more time and see Nikki looking at Ashton, who's slowly shaking his head to her.
I sigh and run out of the cafeteria.
I can't believe out of all people -All People- she chose her.
The bitch of the school that I- No we, hated for years.
I lean against the locker and let myself slide down until I'm sitting on the floor.
The dirty floor.
At this moment I don't even care.
I feel betrayed.
I hear the doors open and feel someone slide next to me.
"I feel like everyone's against me." I mumble.
"I'm not against you." Ashton mumbles back.
"But the rest is. Everyone's siding with Mike."
"So it's me and you against the world." He smiles and I can't help but smile too.
"Just don't mind them now. Apologise to Mike first, then we'll see what we're gonna do with Nikki." He says as he wraps an arm around me.
I nod my head an lay it on Ashton's shoulder.
"Thank you for listening." I mumble and close my eyes for a second.
"Thank you for letting me talk." He smiles.
We sit there until break is over and then I get to my next class.
Let's just get over with this hell...
After school I wait for Ashton.
He told me to wait here, didn't he?
I look around for Ashton but I don't see a sign from him.
Weird, I think as I walk back into the school.
I walk to the library but still no sign of Ashton.
After I checked the cafeteria I decide to call him.
He doesn't pick up.
I text him.
Me: Hey, where are you? I'm waiting at the parking lot.
I sigh before walking back outside.
After 20 minutes I sigh again and begin to walk.
Let's see what he's so busy with then.
I walk all the way home, which takes me about 30 minutes.
Instead of walking to my door, I walk to Ashton's.
I knock and feel my palms get sweaty.
What could keep him up so long?
So long that he forgot about me...
I hear muffed sounds before the door opens, revealing a messed up Ashton.
"Fuck." He mumbles under his breath.
"What's wrong?" I ask as I walk pass him inside.
"May.."
"What's so important that you forgot about me?"
He sighs.
"I'm sorry.." He mumbles.
I ignore him and I walk into the kitchen.
"Wait-" He wants to grab my arm but misses.
I stop walking when I see two girls standing if front on me.
"Uhh.. Hello?" I say.. Or ask, slightly confused.
"Hello, I guess Ashton didn't told you about us." The right one smirks.
"He told me everything I need to know." I defend him.
The left one rolls her eyes and holds out her hand.
"I'm Ashton's sister, Lauren."
I hesitantly shake her hand.
"May."
I look back to the right one.
"I'm Vanessa, Ashton's girlfriend." She holds out her hand.
"You're what?" I ask.
"His girlfriend."
I see a smirk on her face and know exactly what's she's trying to do.
Well, she chose the wrong one to play with.
"His girlfriend? Yeah.. He mentioned you briefly... While I was sucking his dick."
I see her hands form into fists and smirk.
"Besides, knowing the history he had with his family -I look at Lauren for a second- I don't really think that he likes that you're here uninvited." I smirk, guessing right that he didn't expect them.
They don't say anything anymore and I suddenly feel two hands on my upper arms.
"I think you handled that really well." Ashton mumbles before planting a kiss on my cheek.
"You've been watching?"
"I've heard it from the living room." He smirks.
His kitchen wall has a whole in it so you can see the living room.
I smile before walking to Vanessa.
I hold out my hand this time.
"Let me do this again. I'm May, his actual girlfriend. But you played it well. I almost thought that you were the call girl." I smile.
She scuffs, refusing to shake my hand.
I hear Ashton chuckle before I feel him pulling me back.
"That's enough." He whispers.
"I don't share what's mine." I whisper back.
"Well, we're lucky that you don't need to share then." He smirks before kissing me lightly.
"Now, what are you actually doing here?" I cross my arms over my chest and lift an eyebrow.
I see Mike leaning against the lockers, talking to Luke and Calum.
Despite him being very insecure deep inside, he won't show it.
He's got this 'bad boy' image thingy and I honestly don't know what most people see in that.
