Never Be

Chapter 16: 5 Seconds of Summer

CHAPTER 16: 5 SECONDS OF SUMMER

“No one understands the chemistry we have, and it came out of nowhere…… Say my name, no need to pretend, don’t be shy…… I'll show you why you're not gonna walk away…” - Mrs All American, 5 Seconds of Summer

“Did you dye your hair?” Michael asked, tugging the strands of my hair. 

“Yes good job Sherlock, thank you for noticing,” I replied sarcastically. 

“Are you trying to copy me?”

“Hmm, well let’s think. You dyed your hair blonde, and I dip-dyed mine light blue, so yes I think I am trying to copy you.”

“No like I mean, I dyed mine, you dye yours, just what are the chances?”

I rolled my eyes. “I’m not even gonna have this conversation with you.”

Sure we were friends now, but mine and Michael’s relationship would never last without arguing or disagreeing on something. So living with them in their house in Los Angeles could get a little tricky because so far in two days a fight had broken out three times. All three were actually between me and Luke but it always started with me and Michael arguing over something and then Luke would come and add fuel to the fire. 

“Come here you bastard!” Ashton giggled.

I looked to where the source was coming from and found a shirtless Ashton (a very fine sight indeed) chasing Luke out back to the pool. I stood by the door to see what the hell they were doing, it was a common thing for me to observe what they were doing half the time. 

“Come and say hi!” Ashton said while raising his phone. Oh so they were making Keek, I turned around to go back into the house. “Hey Kat! Come and say hi-“

Luke snatched his phone off him and then started making weird noises. “Oh look at that, we’re out of time.”

“You’re a real douche,” I said, putting up my middle finger. 

“Seriously are the two of you ever gonna get along?” Calum said, appearing behind me.

“Nope. Never. We’ll never be friends.”

“Yeah well that was also true with you and Mike and Ash.”

“Who said I get along with him?” I retorted, gesturing Michael who was furiously pressing buttons on his controller. 

“Well you don’t hate him,” Calum pointed out. 

“Then who said I don’t hate her?” Michael yelled. 

Calum and I looked at each other, trying not to laugh. “By the way Cal, even though you have a nice body, please put some clothes on.”

“CALUM! COME OVER HERE!” Ashton yelled out of nowhere. 

“I think you should go and run to save your damsel in distress,” I said cheekily. 

Calum pretended to unsheathe a sword. “Oh fear not my princess! I am here!”

I laughed at Calum doing a weird run and then walked over to the kitchen to make myself some toast after realising just how hungry I was. 

“Are you in the kitchen? Make me some vegemite toast,” Michael called while holding a controller in his hand and not peeling his eyes away from the TV screen. 

“No you can make it yourself. I’m not your slave,” I said, slamming the lid of the Vegemite jar back on. Michael continued to whine and I eventually gave in. “Fine! I’ll make you the fucking toast!”
