The atmosphere felt different at the table and Ashton doesn't know what's up. The dirty blonde does notice that it is coming from Luke and he wants to know what is wrong, if there's anything wrong to begin with. He was about to mention it when he saw Phoebe's figure walking up to the table; which surprises Ashton and left Luke glaring at her.

"Hey Ashton, I was wondering if you are attending to the carnival this weekend?" she ask him.

"I've never heard anything about this carnival." he respond as he doesn't recall ever seeing anything or hearing about it.

"Oh! This school makes a huge deal out of it and there are flyers posted everywhere. Every year the town throws a carnival and I was wondering if you are going?"

Ashton take a quick glance at the brunette, but only saw him glare at her. Phoebe notice the glare, but she is trying to ignore it.

"You can invite Luke if you want." she suggest with a smirk hidden under her nude lipstick. She knows that Ashton has a small crush on Luke Hemmings.

"No, I am never interested in the stupid carnival. It's a waste of time and I could go to a better amusement park and willing to pay more." Luke interject the conversation.

Ashton and Phoebe exchange looks as he glance at Luke once again.

"Well, you can always hang out with me and Chris. It would be a great way to meet zir!" she suggest with a bright smile.

"Alright, tell me more information." the dirty blonde said as she got up.

"Okay, see you later Ash." she waves as she head back to her table.

Ashton is excited about this because he loves carnivals and being around friends. Luke on the other hand, is fuming with jealousy and it is a bizarre feeling he's experiencing.

"You know what? I will go to the carnival with you." Luke blurt out as he tries to contain this bizarre feeling.

"I thought you hate it? You literally said that it was stupid and a waste of time." the dirty blonde quizzically ask with a quirk of an eyebrow.

"Well...I decide to go. Have a problem with that?"

"No, I'm actually quite excited that you are going with me!" Ashton smiles at him. It's weird that Luke suddenly want to go with him, and it feels like they're going on a date.

"Um...you just want to meet up at the carnival?" he adds so they have a plan.

"Sure," Luke shrug.

The brunette felt stupid for agreeing to go with him. It's like his brain is somewhere else and his mouth is doing the work. He hates being around people and riding on rides. He doesn't know why he said yes, he couldn't bare having Ashton alone. Sure he was going to hangout with Phoebe and her soulmate, nothing bad would happen.

Then he heard a voice in the back of his brain saying that Ashton could end up meeting his soulmate at the carnival. If Luke is being honest, he is scared about the day when Ashton finds his soulmate because he won't be with him anymore. He feels like he would be in the dust as Ashton will absorb into his soulmate.

A small part of him is hoping that Ashton is his soulmate, but he will never admit to it.

He had to shake the thoughts out of his mind to stop of this nonsense. It's absolutely absurd for him to think that way in the first place! This is why he doesn't like to be around people!

He continues to put up the brick wall, but felt Ashton knocking them down. This whole thing is ridiculous and Luke hates it, but in the back of his mind, he feels something.
