"So welcome back to school." Ashton greets me in the morning at the bus stop. The night of the party, I ended up finding Derrick and Samantha hooking up, in Ashton's room might I add, and it was horrible. I went home and took some weed from Calum, who ended up finding me high when he got back. He didn't tattle on me, luckily. But I owe him money for that blunt he says. Whatever.
                          

                          
"Not at school yet, but thanks." I tell him, taking the lead on the bus and sitting in the front, like him and I did every morning. Calum, who was behind us, goes all the way to the back of the empty bus as he did every morning. We are the first stop, Ashton just walks to our stop because he doesn't want to be surrounded by Jerseys at his stop. He lives on a somewhat main road, so a lot of people go to his stop.
                          

                          
"Well what do you think people are gonna be talking about when we get back?" He asks, looking up from his phone briefly to ask me. I think I remember him telling me at the party at some point he's been texting this girl, but I don't really remember her name.
                          

                          
"Maybe your party. More people showed up then you expected, some Jerseys even came right?" I mumble, not wwanting to think of a certain Jersey.
                          

                          
"Yeah, Calum came, Luke, Noah, Derrick, and they brought some girls I'm pretty sure." He says, locking his phone as we reach the next bus stop.
                          

                          
"I know she was there Ash, I saw her. You can say her name, I'm not gonna cry or something. I don't think you could've counted her as even a friend, we can't be friends because she's with Derrick and he'd kill me for talking to her." I say.
                          

                          
"Well, you might not be able to talk to her, but you could text her maybe? Or, you have some classes together, pass notes or something. He can't stop you from doing that." Ashton shrugs, giving me advice.
                          

                          
"I don't know, maybe I'll try it out." I shrug as we pull up to another bus stop, going silent because it's Derricks stop.
                          

                          
"Hey, you." Derrick says from the seat behind me, poking the back of my neck to gain my attention. I let out a 'hmm?' as I rub the back of my neck.
                          

                          
"Could you maybe talk to Alli for me? Or like, distract her or some shit? I have to set up a party at her place, since it's her birthday and all." He asks me. Oh, lets be a great boyfriend on her birthday, but two days earlier, Christmas Eve to be exact, let's cheat on her with the same slut that ruined your relationship in the first place.
                          

                          
"But I thought I wasn't allowed to talk to her, or go near her?" I end up asking, scrunching my eyebrows.
                          

                          
"If I ask you to do something for me, you probably should just say yes and not point out my past statements. Whatever, I thought that since you wanted her to be your friend you'd do it, but I can just get Cal to do it." He says.
                          

                          
"No, I'll do it I was just confused. But I got it now, distract her after school. Seems like a plan." I nod, quick to accept this. If I can talk to her, I don't know but if I can talk to her, maybe she'll talk to Derrick and let him let us be friends. It's a start atleast.
                          

                          
"No funny business or I will personally kill you myself. I swear if you mess up my relationship with Alli a Jersey won't be the only thing you wish you had." He threatens, and I nod swallowing hard as I turn around. I can't help but want to say that he already screwed up his relationship with Allison. It's only a matter of time until she finds out.
