Betsy POV

Another day at school yay. I haven't talk to Ashton since yesterday. He's called me I just haven't answered them. I hopped out of Luke's car & headed straight to Courtney. "It's fuck our boyfriends hour" I laughed. She sighed. "How are you and Mike?" I asked. "Ugh" She said. "How are you & Ash?" She asked. "Ugh" I replied. We walked inside and started talking in front of my locker when Ashton & Michael started towards us.

"Speak of the devils" Courtney sighed. "Why haven't you returned any of my calls" They both said looking at us. Then at each other. We both rolled our eyes & walked away. "Wait" They said at the same time again. Ashton hit Michael "Stop doing that" He sighed. "Wait betsy" He said grabbing my arm. I turned around. "I'm sorry for not respecting your privacy, i'm sorry" He sighed.

He looked at me. "You know it would be a lot easier to be mad at you if you weren't cute" I frowned. He smiled. "So are we good?" He asked. "I don't know are you done being over dramatic & nosey?" I asked. "Ouch" He laughed. I started to walk away. He grabbed my arm. "Wait wait, yes i'm done okay i'm done are we good?" He asked sticking out his bottom lip.

"Yeah" I smiled. "Good" He said putting his arm around me.

Courtney POV

"What Mike? What do we need to talk about? Why would you even want to talk to me since i'm supposedly 'in love with calum'," I mocked him. "I'm sorry i know you're not in love with him" He frowned. "took you long enough. Okay we done here?" I said as i started to walk away he pulled me back and kissed me. He departed our lips.

"I'm sorry i know you're not in love with calum & was just trying to do something special for me if sorry for being a dick about. Can you forgive me? I'm sorry i love you" He said looking down. I kissed him. "It's okay" I smiled. "Really?" He said with a smile. "Guess you're gonna have to make it up to me" I smiled. He smiled "Guess so"

"Great! i'll take the green day sweatshirt that smells like you" I said smiling walking away.

"Hey! That's not what i thought you meant! don't play with my feelings!" He yelled.

"Why not? It's fun" I smiled turning the corner.

Calum POV

I sighed as i watched Courtney & Michael kiss in the hallway. "Hey chin up pretty boy" Betsy said walking up to me. I looked up at her. "What's got you down?" She asked. I looked over at Michael kissing Courtney again. "Oh" She said. I sighed. "Do you think telling her might-"

"No" I said quickly.

"Okay" She said. "Here cmon, Let's go to class" She frowned. I nodded and walked to class with her. We walked into the class and I sat down. "Oh shoot I forgot something be right back" Betsy said running back into the crowded hallway.

"Ugh FUCK FEELINGS!" I yelled. I heard laughing behind me. I turned around and saw a girl with long black hair slicked back into a high ponytail wearing a blink 182 t shirt & had a nose ring. "Oh shit sorry I didn't know you were here" I said. "Are you ok?" She asked walking up to me. I just looked at her. "Oh sorry um- I'm Victoria, but my friends call me tori" she said sticking out her hand. I just looked at her hand then back up at her. "Ok not a handshake person I see" she said sitting in the desk next to me. "Um I'm-"

"Your Calum"

"How'd you-"

"Everyone knows who you are, along with your friends" she said blankly. "What's wrong?" She asked. "Why do you care?" I snapped. "I don't" she laughed. "Then why are you talking to me?" I asked. "You looked depressed" she said picking at her blank nail polish.

"Are you?" I asked motioning to her black nails. "Hey just because I have black nails doesn't mean I'm depressed" she said. I laughed. "I made you laugh" she smiled. "Ok ok" I said putting my hands up. I looked down at her shirt. "Blink 182?" I asked. "Huh" She said looking up.

"Oh yeah- I love them" she said looking at her shirt. "Me too" I smiled. She nodded. "Well good talking to you Hood, but gotta get to class" she said grabbing your bag. "Wait this isn't your class?" I asked. "No I just come in here because it's usually a empty classroom in the mornings" she smiled before leaving. I shook my head and smiled. I like her.

betsy POV

I was sitting in my room when Ashton came busting through the door. "Betsy" he said throwing a envelope beside me. Looked at him confused as he started rubbing is chin. "Look what it says" he said pointing at the unopened envelope.

University of Sydney

"Ashton!! This is your exception letter" I said looking at it. "Or my rejection letter!!" He said back. "Ash, I'm sure you got in" I said handing him the letter. "Why haven't you opened it?" I asked. "I don't know I saw it in the mail box and ran to my car and now I'm here!" He said biting his nails. "Aw you wanted to open it in front of me" I said kissing him.

"Of course I did" he said. "Open it" I said. He took a deep breath as he carefully tore it open. "I can't look" he said handing it to me. "Do you want me to read it?" I asked. He nodded. I got the letter out and opened it slowly. I read over the letter carefully.

"What? What is it?" He asked. I looked up at him. He sighed. "You got in!!" I jumped up. "I did?!" He yelled. "Yes! I'm so proud of you!" I said hugging him. He picked me up and spun me around the room.
