Chapter 2 â Trouble makers
Ashley's head whipped up when she heard the bathroom door open and Camille walked in. Camille saw Ashley on the floor and Laughed. "Your pathetic" She said before strutting over to the mirror to redo her hair and makeup. "Well excuse me for having feelings" Ashley said whipping her eyes. Thank god for water proof makeup. "Well you're having emotions for the wrong people" Camille said hitting her hand against the counter and turning to look at a now stood up Ashley. "You can't control who you have feelings for. Maybe I have got it for the wrong people, but you can't help it. So leave me alone" Ashley said walking over to the mirrors. "I might leave you alone when you stop trying to steal my boyfriend. We are serious in our relationship and if you ruin us I will make sure to ruin you" Camille threatened. "If you guys are so serious how come nobody knew about you?"
"Because Logie wanted to be sure. I didn't want to be humiliated"
"That's pathetic. Maybe if you weren't such a bitch you wouldn't have to worry about that"
"What did you just say" Camille said turning to the red head enemy. "That you're a bitch" Ashley said before leaving the bathroom. Camille followed her out. Just as the bell rang and people started flooding out, Camille pushed Ashley up against the locker.
Carlos and Logan were walking down the hall when they saw a huge commotion in the hall. "Hey Josh" Logan said calling the boy over. "Yeah?"
"What's all the commotion about?"
"Oh your girlfriend and that red head are having a cat fight. It's hilarious" Logan's eyes widened and he pushed his way through the crowd to see Kendall holding Ashley around the waist holding her back whilst Camille was trying to get to them with James holding her around the arms. "Dude controls your fucking girlfriend!" James said tightening your hold. Logan came over and grabbed her in the same position Kendall had Ashley. "Calm down. She isn't worth it" Kendall whispered in Ashley's ear. Ashley took a deep breath and relaxed. She turned in Kendall's hold and put her head on his chest and did what she seemed to be doing allot. Cried. The blonde rubbed soothing circles on her back and whispered calming words in her ear. "What the fuck happened?" Logan yelled. Ashley turned to the sound of his voice, resulting In Kendall letting go but keeping an arm around her waist. "Your maniac of a girlfriend happened! What is wrong with you Logan! She crazy! Please tell what there is to love about her!" Ashley asked. "That's none of your business! Why the hell did you start on Cami?" Logan yelled back hugging a crying brunette. "I didn't start on her. I came out of the bathroom; she pushed me into a locker and slapped me!" By now about the whole school was gathered around apart from teachers. "You're a rotten Liar" Logan said. "Watch your mouth Logan. You weren't here. We all know Camille has been out to get Ashley since we were born. Why would Ashley start on her?"
"Because shes Pathetic!" Logan said letting go of Camille. Kendall let go of Ashley and took a step closer getting in Logans face. The blonde had a height advantage but the brunette didn't back down. "You don't know anything about her" Kendall said through gritted teeth. "And like you do?" Logan said. "I know more than you think. Because unlike you I actually know her name. I know things about her she won't even tell her family or best friend. I know how she feels when others don't. I know how to make a girl smile when someone she so desperately wants to talk to practically acts like she's dead" Kendall spat. Logan raised his fist and punched Kendall around the face. Kendall retaliated by pushing him into the locker and punching him in the gut. Ashley gasped and turned to James who stood there shocked. "JAMES DO SOMETHING!" Ashley said. James pulled himself together and went to pull Kendall off of his best friend when the head master came through. KENDALL KNIGHT AND LOGAN MITCHELL! MY OFFICE NOW!" He yelled. Logan pushed Kendall into the locker once more before walking to the head masters office. Kendall took several deep breaths before following him. "You too Ashley. And You Camille. Everyone get the hell to class!" He said before following the two girls to the office. He closed the door behind him and sat behind his desk. From left to right stood a bruised Ashley, A bloody Kendall, a messed up Camille and a bloody AND bruised Logan. "Now what happened?" 3 Seventeen year olds all started telling their stories and pointing and accusing, except Ashley before Mr. Collins stopped them. "STOP! Now Since Ashley is the only quiet one I want to hear her story first." Ashley looked to Kendall who only nodded his head. "Well I was in the girl's bathroom because I was upset about something. Then Camille walked in and started getting mouthy, I left and when I did she followed me and pushed me into a locker and started on me. Kendall came and separated us, and then Logan did. Kendall tried to stick up for me and then He and Logan got in a verbal fight which, turned into... That" She said avoiding any eye contact. "Okay. Did you do anything to Set Camille off?"
"Well she was having a go at me for having emotions. I told her that she wouldn't know about that because shes a bitch. But even if I did say that, shes 17 not 7, her reaction was over rated. I mean seriously" Ashley said. "Oh shut Up Ginger! Sir she totally twisted the story! I came in the bathroom and Saw Ashley upset. I left her alone because I didn't want to make her angry. She started mouthing off at me saying I was a heartless bitch! I left the bathroom because I didn't want to take anymore Insults from that little slut over there-"
"Stop with the name calling. I don't like hypocrites. Especially when there Bullshitters too" Kendall said keeping his eyes on the back wall. Logan smacked him. "Got something to say about Camille you can say it to me"
"Okay then. Your girlfriend is a stuck up, Self centred, Heartless, Crazy, ugly hore" Kendall said simply shrugging, Eyes still not leaving the wall. Ashley smiled at the fact Kendall was sticking up with her. "Will you lot stop bickering! Now Carry on Camille"
"Thank you. Anyway. She came out and pushed me into the locker and started on me. I tried to get her off me but she wouldn't. Kendall then came along and pulled Sabrina off and started getting mouthy at me" Camille said. "And then Logan came and Kendall just started punching and hitting him. Those two are horrible to us" Camille said.
"Well Im getting two completely opposite stories here. Now Kendall Im guessing you're agreeing with Ashley?" Kendall nodded. "And Logan with Camille Correct?" He nodded too. "Well Ashley why were you crying anyway?"
"Oh... I uh... I found something out that kind of upset me. It's no big deal"
"Okay. And Camille you're saying you didn't lay a violent hand on anybody correct?"
"Correct sir"
"Then how do you explain the hand mark on her cheek and the bruises already forming on her neck and arms?"
"Im not sure sir. I wish I knew" Camille said calmly. "Well. Since two of you are not willing to tell the truth and let me get to the bottom of this your punishment will be enhanced. Kendall, Logan. You are banned from all hockey matches and practices for the next 3 weeks-"
"WHAT!" They chorused. "But Mr. Collins Im the captain. Its state finals next week and the need there captain!" Kendall yelled. "Well they will have to suffice. And Ashley, You are banned from any school trips and music courses for the rest of the semester-"
"No sir I'll do anything else but that. I need that music course. I need to make my dad proud. If you understood you would let me just please!"
"Im sorry Ashley. You should have thought of that before you got in a fight. And Camille. You cannot do any school performances for the next two semesters. And as for all of you, you will stay after school every Wednesday and Friday to clean the gum from under the tables starting Monday. Ashley and Kendall will take the first floor and Logan and Camille will take the second. Now stay the hell out of trouble. Now go to class" He said leaning back in his chair. The four students groaned and left the office. Ashley turned and looked to Kendall. "Im so sorry. I didn't mean to get you in trouble. Let alone kicked out of the game" Ashley said. "It's okay. As long as you can promise me something"
"Anything."
"You told the 100% truth"
"Of course I did. Im in enough trouble as it is, Lying wasn't going to help me." Ashley said as Kendall nodded. "That's okay then. I mean at least we will have each other in detention. And we will actually get our job done whilst they like screw each other against a desk" Kendall said not thinking about Ashley's reaction. "Oh god Im sorry. I didn'tâ"
"Its okay Kendall. I kinda saw the real him earlier and to be honest I really didn't like it. I'll get over him."
"I know it's hard for girls to do that. But maybe its or the east"
"Your probably right."
"What do you mean probably? Im Kendall Knight, of course Im right!" Kendall said causing Ashley to laugh. "Oh and thank you for sticking up for me. That's never happened before" She said. She didn't realise where she was going until she was stood in the car park. "Urrrm Kendall we are in the parking lot" Ashley said looking around. Kendall looked around too. "Oh yeah. Let's go" He said subconsciously grabbing her hand. He pulled her off to the bleachers and sat at the top. "We are already in deep shit, what can be worse?" He asked grinning. Ashley laughed and sat next to him. "Your lip is bleeding. Hold on a second" Ashley said going into her bag. She pulled out a tissue, and put her other hand on his cheek getting him to look at her. Their eyes met and silence filled the air, apart from the students doing PE of course. "Urrrm just don't move" Ashley said moving her hand away and putting the tissue to his lip, he hissed a little and Ashley muttered an apology but kept going. A minute passed and Ashley looked at his lip. "The blood is gone. You still look battered though" Ashley said giving him a week smile. Kendall put his hands over his face, covering it. "Better?" He muffled. Ashley laughed. "Depends. I mean you can't see all the battering, but now no one can see you"
"OMG how awesome! Im like the king of hide and seek now!" He said moving his hands. Ashley smiled. "You still play that?"
"Well my sister sometimes babysits. But I kinda end up taking over. Hide and seek is a win, win for everyone" He said shrugging.
"How so?"
"Well you get away from the kid. And they have fun. That makes two very happy people" Kendall explained. Ashley laughed at his logic. "You're actually kinda smart" She said. "Hey!" He said putting a hand on his heart pretending to be hurt. "That hurts deep" he said pouting. "Im sorry. I didn't mean it like that I mean, that's a good Idea. I love kids though. They make me smile" Ashley said. "I mean. That's probably hard for you to believe right? That I know how to smile, considering I've cried at least twice today" Ashley said shaking her head. "I've seen you smile. And I think it's a beautiful smile. But you can't hate yourself for crying. I mean to be honest you have been humiliated, heartbroken, beaten and punished. I think that's a good enough reason to cry. Its emotions." Kendall said putting a hand on her arm in a comforting gesture. "Thanks" She said smiling. She kissed him on the cheek and then saw something that caught her attention. "Oh my god Kendall!" She yelled whilst laughing. She grabbed his hand and stood up, pulling him with her. "What the hell?" he asked whilst laughing. He turned around and saw the PE teacher coming towards them. He laughed and ran with the red head into the school. He looked around and saw the Janitors closet. "Bingo" he said before pulling her into it. He shut the door and they both burst out laughing. "That was kind of like a rush. I mean, Im not the biggest trouble maker... Oh my god you're already turning me" She said looking the blonde in the eyes. He laughed and did the best bow he could in the small space. "Thank you. I do have an effect on people." He said grinning. Ashley laughed with Kendall, then she heard approaching footsteps. "Knight! Roberts!" Ashley slapped a hand over Kendall's mouth and held her breath, still looking at Kendall. She put a finger to her lips but moved her hand away from his mouth. "Knight! Roberts!" Come out and there will be no trouble!" She yelled the voice gradually getting quieter. "She doesn't mean that" Kendall whispered. Ashley burst out laughing but Kendall put a hand over her mouth letting out a little laugh as well. They stood there for another minute. Before Kendall opened the door and popped his head out. Right there stood the PE teacher. "Heyy sir" He said his voice an octave higher than normal. He opened the door fully and Ashley gave a forced smile at the PE teacher. "Yeah yeah I know. To the principal's office" She said before walking off with Kendall on tow. "Wow. Two times in half an hour. That has two be a new record" Kendall said trying to lighten the mood. "I know. You're really changing me. And you know the weird thing, I really don't care" She said smiling before she went into the principal's office. "Ah. Kendall and Ashley" Mr. Collins said standing up and leaning against the front of the desk. "Well first I would like to know what has gotten into you Ashley. I've never had you in here for anything bad and now twice in one hour. Im disappointed"
"Yeah well having people being disappointed in me isn't a new feeling sir. And nothing has gotten into me, Im just... It's complicated" Ashley sighed avoiding any eye contact. "Well I would like to talk to you after. And why on earth were you two cutting class?"
"Im sorry sir. I was still really pissed at Camille and Logan. I need to cool off. I didn't want to hurt them again. I'm sorry."
"And what about you miss Roberts?"
"I wouldn't let her go. Don't punish her. She was going straight to class when I brought her with me to the bleachers. She didn't do anything wrong" Kendall jumped in before Ashley could say anything. "Is this true Ashley?" The female looked at Kendall who gave a tiny nod, hoping Mr. Collins wouldn't see. "Yeah. That's what happened" Ashley said feeling complete guilt wash through her. "Okay then. Kendall you can stay on Monday and Thursday as well as Wednesday and Friday to clean the theatre. And you can go around the sports field and bleachers seeming as you love it there so much picking up all the rubbish, and gum"
"Yes sir. I'll be there"
"I know you will. Now GO TO CLASS!" He said. Kendall turned to Ashley. "Wait for me after school by my car" He said before leaving. Ashley watched as he left and then turned back to the head teacher. "Sit down" He said motioning to his white leather couch. Ashley did as she was told and kept her eyes on the man in front of her. "What is happening? With you? Its making you change and in all honesty Im a little worried" He said honestly. "Well urrrm... Recently my dad has started to be angry at everything. Especially me. He hates me because me and sports are like worst enemies, so I try everything apart from sports to make him proud but nothing works. So I was gunna have a shot at music but it doesn't matter anymore, if my dad doesn't like me for me then I'll have to get over it. I am sorry for the trouble I have caused today sir. I can promise it won't happen again. And can I just say two things?"
"Of course"
"I swear on my life I was telling the truth earlier. I may have fought back but she started getting violent first"
"I'll keep that in mind Ashley. And the other thing?"
"Kendall lied to cover for me. We started talking when we left your office and we weren't really paying attention to where we were going. I guess we just never went to class. It was my fault just as much as it was his"
"Well if that is the truth then Im sorry but you'll have to join him on Mondays and Thursdays"
"Im okay with that sir. I have to deal with the consequences of my actions."
"Okay then. As it is only 5 minutes until the end of the day you may go. And don't forget detentions start on Monday" He said before Ashley left. She nodded and made her way out to the parking lot. She looked around then realised she didn't know which one was Kendall's car. She sighed and sat on the bench outside the school doors waiting for Kendall to come out. Ashley had a strange feeling like she was being watched. She looked around but was brought back to reality when the bell rang. She stood up and looked in the crowd of people. She couldn't see Kendall anyway. Around Ten minutes later there were only about 5 cars still in the lot. Ashley sighed and got up and started walking away. "Ash Wait!" She heard an oh so familiar voice call. She turned around and saw Kendall stood there. She smiled and walked back over to him. "I thought you left"
"I wasn't going anywhere without you. Im really sorry. The teacher made me go to the nurse about my busted lip. People over react. And then I realised you didn't know which car was mine" Kendall said. "Come on" He said walking over to a Volvo C30Volvo C30. "Wanna come over mine? You said you like kids. My sister is home and so will I. Im like the most Immature person you will ever meet" Kendall said with a grin. Ashley laughed and nodded. "Sure" She said. Kendall smiled and unlocked his car getting in the driver's side. Ashley got in and looked at Kendall. "Buckle up" He said as he started the car and pulled out of the parking lot. The drive to Kendall's house was filled with Meaningless chatter. "Here we are. Casa Knight" He said grinning. Ashley laughed and got out of the car. "CVolvo C30asa Knight is lovely" She said smiling. Kendall laughed and walked up to the front door. He unlocked it and stepped inside. He looked at Ashley and motioned for her to come in with his head. "Mom, Katie Im home!" He yelled shutting the door behind his red head friend. "In the Kitchen!" His mother yelled at the same time Katie yelled "IM UPSTAIRS!" Kendall sighed. "This is a dilemma. Go in the Kitchen and see my lovely mother, or go upstairs to see my amazing good at gambling little sister and annoy her until she kicks me out" Kendall said tapping his chin. Ashley laughed and waited for his answer. "Former" He said before walking into the kitchen. "Hey Mom. He said kissing her on the cheek. "I've got a friend over. That's not a problem is it?" He said looking over to Ashley who stood shyly in the doorway. "Of course not honey. It's nice not having to put up with the other boys all the time" She said looking to Ashley. "You can come in sweetie. We don't bite "Ashley smiled and walked over to Kendall. "Hi. Im Ashley"
"It's nice to meet you Ashley" Said miss Knight.
Miss Knight looked around her very early forties. She had red curly hair falling just below her shoulders. "You too" Ashley said looking at the floor. "Shes shy" Kendall mouthed and Miss Knight nodded. "What have you done to your face Kendall?"
"Oh thanks Mom! I always can count on you to make me feel good!" Kendall said sarcastically. "No Kendall You are a handsome boy. I mean why have you got a cut lip and a bruise forming below your ear?"
"Oh that. Well urrrm, I guess I got in a bit of a punch up..." Kendall said. "With who?" Miss Knight asked after putting the Pizza's in the oven. "Urrrm... Logan" Kendall said as it was a question."Logan! Why were you fighting with Logan?" Just as Kendall was about to respond Ashley's phone started to ring. She read he caller ID. Mom. "Im so sorry Kendall. I have to go. I'll see you soon" She said before turning around. "Ok. Don't forget detention. It's an excuse for us to hang out and I don't wanna lose it"
"Okay. I'll see you Monday" She said before leaving. She closed the front door with a huge smile plastered on her face.
Okay so That was a horrible ending. Please don't kill me! Im MINI GOLFING TODAY! WOOOP! Anyway. Kendall tweeted about how he will have his new YouTube Video up with Logan today. Everyone thinks it's a sex tape: P xxx So! REVIEW!
