The Next day

Ashtons POV

I walk into the games room to see Hannah sitting on a purple beanbag in a pile of textbooks and note books, I try to move a textbook to sitr down but she glares at me "Don't touch that" I raise my hands in defence and find a spot on the floor and sit down. I stare at Hannah who is incredibly focused, I think back to when I was fourteen and I never studied like that

"Need any help?" I ask innocently

"Yes actually, I only have a month until my exams and I really need to study. Can you quiz me?"

"I'm not sure I'll be much use at Biology" I say sheepishly gesturing towards her textbook. She digs around in a pile of papers and picks one out

"I think you can manage this" she says with a suspicious grin. She takes a deep breath and cautiosly takes my hand and guides me to the music room

"Why are we in here" I ask

"This is a marking sheet for a music performance exam" she says handing me the piece of paper "I need you to be the person who does my exam" I smile finally catching on to her plan

"Ok then, but wait" I run out of the room and go into the living room where all the boys are sitting on their phones "Wanna come help hannah with her studying" I ask

"Isn't she taking like biology and maths?" Calum asks

"Yes" I say

"We don't know the first thing about biology and Michael can barely count to ten" Luke says

"Hey" Michael says offended

"Just come on" Everybody sighs but follows me out anyway we all walk into the music room, Hannah is sitting on a stool strumming her guitar. "We are being music performance judges" I tell them and they all laugh.

"If we are going to make this realistic then you need to come in" Luke says

"Like you know what a realistic exam is" Hannah sasses but she walks out nonetheless

She walks in with her back straight and smiling softly "Hello My name is Hannah Irwin" I smile at the fact she took my last name but I notice that her carefree scottish accent has been replaced by a slighty posher wellspoken almost english accent "I am going to be performing Out of my limit by 5 seconds of summer and Youth by Troye Sivan"

"Ok good luck" Michael says in his serious voice. Hannah sits on a stool and plays the intro to Out of My Limit and starts singing beautifully

Back in high school we used to take it slow
Red lipstick on and high heel stilettos
Had a job downtown working the servo
Had me waiting in line couldn't even let go

'Cause I never wanna be that guy
Who doesn't even get a taste
No more having to chase
To win that prize

You're just a little bit out of my limit
It's been two years now you haven't even seen the best of me
And in my mind now I've been over this a thousand times
But it's almost over
Let's start over

Back in high school
We used to make up plans
Called you up one day to meet split ends

'Cause I never wanna be that guy
Who doesn't even get a taste
No more having to chase
To win that prize

You're just a little bit out of my limit
It's been two years now you haven't even seen the best of me
And In my mind now I've been over this a thousand times
But it's almost over
Let's start over
You're just a little bit out of my limit
It's been two years now you haven't even seen the best of me
And in my mind now I've been over this a thousand times
But it's almost over
Let's start over

I find myself drumming along completely entranced by her voice and she stops and adjusts her guitar for the next song, I look to my left and see Michael staring at her completely hypnotised and then she starts the next song


What if, what if we run away
What if, what if we left today
What if, we say goodbye to safe and sound
What if, what if we're hard to find
What if, what if we lost our minds
What if, we looked and fall behind and then never found

And when the lights start flashing like a photobooth
And the stars exploding
We'll be fireproof

My youth, my youth is yours
Trippin' on skies, sippin' waterfalls
My youth, my youth is yours
Runaway now and forevermore
My youth, my youth is yours
A truth so loud you can't ignore
My youth, my youth, my youth
My youth is yours

What if, what if we start to drive
What if, what if we close our eyes
What if, speeding through red lights into paradise
'Cause we get no time for getting old
Before our bodies turn to stones
Cross your fingers, here we go
Oh, oh, oh

And when the lights are flashing like a photobooth
And the stars exploding
We'll be fireproof

My youth, my youth is yours
Trippin' on skies, sippin' waterfalls
My youth, my youth is yours
Runaway now and forevermore
My youth, my youth is yours
A truth so loud you can't ignore
My youth, my youth, my youth
My youth is yours
My youth is yours

"Fucking A+" Michael says

"Thanks What did you think?" she asks me

"When can we get you on stage with us" I ask hopefully

"How about never" she says dismissively

"One day, oh well you are going to ace that exam Hannah Banana" Calum says

"Maybe" she says

"No not maybe, definetely" Calum assures her

"How do you know" she asks

 He replys "because I'm always right"
