"Good morning Kenz." I greeted when she opened the passenger door to get in the car. She had a snapback on her head with a striped crop top, high-waisted black shorts and a flannel tied around her waist. She's so stylish, I love it.

"Morning little shit." She joked kicking her feet up on the dashboard as usual, I won't complain or tell her to get them off because she won't listen to me.

"Are you going to ignore Ash now?" I shrugged because I didn't have an answer, she was silent all the ride to school taping her screen furiously, I didn't know what she's doing. I parked my car and we got out walking to the building closely.

"Off to Mr Hamilton right now." I sighed and she rolled her eyes, we hate that guy so much. He's our worst nightmare. I stopped at my locker and got what I'm gonna need and I pushed the door open to the already filled room.

"Morning Melly." I said taking a seat in front of her with Kenzie. Our usual seats for maths class, the seat next to her was still empty so, I guess it's Calum's. I don't really know how this day's gonna be, I'm really hoping for the best.

The door was pushed open and the main members of the assholes club walked in. Ashton had some sweatpants and a hoodie with the hood on his messy hair, he was dragging his backpack annoyingly, Calum and Michael followed him looking as they usually do. Ashley and Madison with their slutty-looking clothes took their usual seats at the end of the classroom. Ashton walked past me and didn't even look at me, Calum sent me an apologetic look and sat behind me.

"Happy Monday class!" The annoying voice of Mr Hamilton said and everyone was quiet suddenly, he sat his old leather bag on the table. He obliged Noah (the nerdy) to clean the board and we heard a loud knock on the door.

"Latecomers as usual, dear God!" He whined signaling for them to enter. Jacob and Luke dragged their feet walking in.

"Hemmings! Get your Australian ass in! It's not because you're a genius in math that you can do whatever the hell you want." He ordered pointing his finger at him, "Jacob, next to Noah." His punishment is always sitting next to Noah, I don't even know why. He's a weird dude and is always alone but I believe he's not that bad once you get to know him.

"That was rude sir." Luke remarked sending him a very intense look, he hates when someone make fun of him or mock him because he's Australian.

"Oh really young boy?" He replied putting his hands on his hips glaring at Luke. The whole class fell silent and everyone was watching the pair.

"Yeah, you don't have the right to mock me because I'm Australian." He responded crossing his arms over his chest with the angriest look on his face.

"But I have the right to send you to detention because you're disrespecting the teacher, out now!" Luke huffed and slammed the door shut behind him. Everyone was quietly whispering in the class and suddenly someone spoke.

"If I were you sir, I would send him to the principal with three days of expulsion." I glared at him intensely and I felt really disgusted. No one has the right to make fun of you because you're from somewhere else in the world.

"The kid is still a newbie, this will be a warning, the first and probably his last."

"You don't have the right to make fun of people because they aren't from here alright? Not only because you're the 'teacher'." I spoke putting air quotes around the word teacher and everyone was looking at me. I wasn't even embarrassed like I usually am. I really meant what I said and I won't change my mind.

"Look who decided to talk. Irwin, your girlfriend knows how to defend people, you taught her well." Ashton started laughing meanly and I wanted to hide under this table.

"I don't date sluts sir."

"Ashton." Calum warned behind me and I was so surprised that I completely turned around in my seat to meet his eyes deep brown eyes. He shot me an apologetic smile, this is very bizarre.

"Woah bro, are you planning on getting in the queue to get a precious blowjob?" That was enough, I could feel blood running furiously through my veins and anger bubbling inside me.

"Listen you fucking asshole, you did go behind my back and fuck your ex, don't act like you are the innocent one, you cheated on me too." I yelled standing up pointing my index finger. Everyone gasped and I could see Mia tensing in her spot.

"Don't bring up these things in front of every fucking body!" He ordered with anger clear in his eyes.

"Don't call me names in front of every fucking body!" I mocked him crossing my arms over my chest and I could see him tightening his fists, his cheeks flushing with anger.

"Enough! Out both of you." Mr Hamilton's voice echoed in the classroom and I huffed taking my bag furiously from the table to finally exit the room slamming the door behind me.

I heard the door slamming another time and I shot him an intense glare before heading to the girls bathroom.

I slammed my bag on the counter and turned on the water splashing some on my face. I was really angry, I wanted to go beat Ashton to death. Why did I even decided to date him? I thought that he has changed. I understand that what I did is really bad and I shouldn't cheat on him but it happened and surprisingly I don't regret it. I keep repeating this to myself.

Ashton can go fuck himself. I don't even care anymore.

I don't even know where Luke is. I bet he went back home and now he's sleeping until later today so he can come back to detention, lucky bastard. I pulled out my phone and scrolled through my instagram feed not really knowing what else to do.

The day flew by slower than usual. I ignored Ashton and his friends and I hung out with Sky and Kenzie all day. We didn't bring up what happened in the classroom and I'm glad.

I got out of my car when I arrived to my house, I saw another car in my driveway. I noticed that it was Calum's. I rolled my eyes, what does he want? I just wanna do my homework and sleep.

"Hi Lauren." He said with a little smile and I shot him a questioning look.

"Hey? Is there a problem?" I asked.

"Uh, I thought that we can have some sort of conversation." He replied hesitantly stuffing his hands in his pockets.

"Why?"

"Ashton." I sighed walking to my front door ignoring him. I don't wanna talk about him ever again.

"Please Lauren, wait." He grabbed my arm spinning me around, I crossed my arms over my chest and waited for him to talk so, I can get over this.

"Try to talk to him, he's really miserable without you. This morning, Anne and I dragged him off the bed forcefully. He misses you so much, he loves you. I know he does."

"He tried to hit me. He called me a slut not only in front of you guys but also, in front of the whole class." I responded.

"You cheated on him with Luke."

"He slept with Mia behind my back and he was forcing me the whole time to have sex." Calum sighed running his hand through his dark hair, I appreciate the fact that he's trying to help his best friend.

"Yeah but try. Don't let him suffer, I know how much he means to you, I mean you guys know each other since thirteen years or something, and Luke came here like seven months ago. You don't know him that much."

"Ashton changed so much and I don't even recognize him anymore." I passed the fact that he changed because of Calum and his friends, I didn't want more drama.

"You changed too."

"Listen Calum, don't try to sugarcoat stuff. I cheated on my boyfriend, he cheated on me. We are both cheaters. Get over it." I furiously turned the key in the lock to finally open the goddamn door.

"He's in love with you, God." He cursed gripping my arm making me take step backs.

"He has Mia. She's pretty, very sweet, hot and very experienced in giving him the best pleasure." I said really meaning every single word. That's the bitter truth. I'm no way as pretty as Mia is. I'm even surprised that Luke is still with me. I'm sure he'll end up cheating in me too.

"Sorry but you're making no sense here. Man, he only wants you with your annoying self, your fucking long beautiful hair and your pretty ass that gives me a boner whenever you walk by." I tried to hide the blush on my cheeks because I've never expected him to tell me these things.

"You're pretty Lauren. I don't care if you think that I'm lying but you really are. Luke is so lucky."

"Thank you. I'm really sorry Calum, I know that you're trying to help but I can't." He flashed me a little smile and rubbed my shoulder.

"Okay. I'm sorry if I was being annoying but he's like my brother." He said with a sad look on his face. I felt a little pang in my heart, blame my soft heart. I wanted to help him but it's impossible.

"Alright, see ya around then." He awkwardly waved and jogged to his car. I sighed stepping in the house and I saw a suitcase in the hall with a duffel bag.

"Mum?" I called loudly, no one responded so, I tried again. "Mum, you here?"

I suddenly heard a door opening and I figured that it was upstairs. I shrugged putting my backpack by the couch and I went up to see what's going on.

"Mum, where are y-." I went silent when I saw who was standing in the hallway upstairs. I've really forgotten about his existence really. I think that I haven't seen him since christmas holidays.

"Dad.." I said in more of a whisper, he smiled widely and took steps closer wrapping his arms around my body.

"How are you sweetheart?" He said still hugging me. I was kinda mad at him because he's never around. Mum is taking care of everything and he just cares about his business.

"Fine and you?" I said once we pulled out of the hug. He shrugged taking my hand in his rubbing the back of it. We went down the stairs to the living-room.

"You know the usual business."

"Yeah dad, the same thing every single time, I totally understand, don't worry." I know that I sounded really sarcastic and that's the point. He needs to understand that he can't just leave for months and then he comes back pretending that we all are happy.

"Lauren. This is my work, this is how I make money for you and your sister." He said and I rolled my eyes.

"Seriously dad! Do you think that it's fair letting mum take all the responsibility alone? She works, take care of Ellie, pay the bills, clean the house, cook, do groceries, drive Ellie to school. This is so much to her!" I listed sending him a very intense glare. He sighed taking the remote from the table switching the TV on.

I was speechless, I can't believe how careless he is. If I didn't know that he loves my mum I would think that he's doing it on purpose.

I heard the door open and I saw my mother along with Ellie. Once my sister saw dad, she ran quickly to him climbing on his lap.

"Dad!!!" He hugged her back kissing her forehead and I wanted to smile but I was so mad to do it. Mum was emotionless, she sat the vegetable bags on the kitchen table without even looking at my father.

"Mummy? Dad's here." I told her once I reached the kitchen. She shrugged continuing to put away her purchases.

"Mum." I said another time. "Yes Lauren. I saw him, I'm not blind."

"Are you guys fighting?" I asked curiously. I'm not even surprised because he really is acting like a jerk to all of us.

"It's nothing sweetie, just go upstairs to your room." I decided to drop the subject because she seems really exhausted. I went to my room and changed to some comfy clothes.

I opened my backpack and saw a full set of assignments. I sighed putting them to the side, I'm not in the mood to study chemistry now. I saw my drumsticks on my desk, I picked them up and sat on the stool.

I turned on some music. I went for Can You Feel My Heart by Bring Me The Horizon and even though I'm not that skilled in this song, I was in the mood for it.

I kept playing it over and over again letting all the emotions and energy out. That's why I love drumming, it clears my mind off everything.

I thought about Luke, Ashton, Calum, Madison, my dad, my mum, everyone. Everything is nothing but a giant mess. All the school thinks I'm a slut, my family isn't the same anymore.

I wanna move on and forget about what happened with Ashton. I want to see Luke properly again and just continue my life normally because I can't stand the attention at school or the looks from Ashton.

I stopped drumming and wiped the sweat off my forehead. I was so tired and my arms were killing me. I took off my shirt and went to the bathroom to take a shower. I felt so gross.

Then, I put on my underwear and an oversized shirt to sleep with. I went through the assignments for an hour before brushing my teeth to finally lay on my bed. A message popped suddenly.
