Broken Strings: Lurry

Chapter 5

"So it's Harry right?"

Harry nodded while chewing his fries.

"So how are you liking Australia so far?" Michael asked while sitting down on the lunch table making Harry scoot over closer to Luke. Harry was accurately aware of their thighs rubbing against each others.

"It's uh hot." Chelsea, who sat directly across from Harry in between Calum and Vanessa , started giggling at Harrys answer making him kick her under the table.

"It is always fucking hot here. I mean how the hell can you idiots only wear tight ass black jeans. Jesus it makes me wonder if you guys actually have balls."

"VANESSA!" Chelsea slapped Vanessa's shoulder shocked at her blunt words. Michael and Calum were laughing and Harry was patting Luke's back because Luke was choking on his drink.

"Whhaaat? It's true. I mean-"

"Ok ok we get it." Chelsea giggled out.

Vanessa shrugged and took a sip from her sprite.

"If you don't mind me asking Vanessa but where are you from?" Harry asked not recognizing her accent.

"I'm from California." His eyebrow rose." Yup I'm a long way from home."

" I'm sorry but I have to ask. Are all Americans as blunt as you are?" Michael asked causing the group to go into a laughing fit.

Vanessa flipped Michael off and said "Nope. Just me."

"What's so funny?" Niall asked while slipping into the seat next to Vanessa.

"Michael was just making fun of my bluntness." Vanessa pouted.

"What Vanessa's blunt? Sense when?" Niall asked while making a funny sarcastic face which caused everybody to laugh even harder.

"Shut up!" Vanessa yelled while laughing."You guys are terrible."

10 minutes before school ends

"I love having PE last period. They always let you out early and you don't have to walk around school smelling if you didn't have time to take a shower." Vanessa said to Chelsea.

"Yeah it's got its perks." Chelsea said happy at being able to avoid the rush of people who push and shove wanting to get out of this hell hole called high school as much as she does.

"What are you even wearing Irwin?" Vanessa asked while walking toward him. He was leaning on his car wearing a suit. A full on suit.

It was freaking purple.

He laughed," I got a job."

"Tsh finally."

"Heeey!" He bobbed his head at Chelsea." Who's this?" Ashton bit his lip while checking Chelsea out and Vanessa rolled her eyes.

"This is Chelsea and Calum already called dibs."

Chelsea gasped and Ashton chuckled. Vanessa leaned against Ashton's car and so did Chelsea.

"She has a brother though. They're twins even though he does look older. Sorry. "She glanced at Chelsea." Buuut Hemmings already called dii-wait I wasn't suppose to tell you that-hey look at the sky it's so pretty-so hows the band going?"

"Wait wait whoa what?"

"H-how?"

Ashton and Chelsea said at the same time leaning off the car to face Vanessa.

"Uh?"

"Don't uh me. What do you mean?" Ashton asked while crossing his arms.

"I don't know what I mean? What do you mean? What does it mean to mean? I don't know? Who are you? Who am I?" Vanessa said crazily making both Chelsea and Ashton laugh.
