Oh Calamity!

I got in from school, and closed the door gently I could hear guitars and my uncle singing, it was their band practice, so I snuck up to my room, I looked up to see Jack, my uncle’s band who lived with us mate smirking, I shook my head silently asking him not to tell on me,
“Look who I found” he said as I ran into my room dropping my bag
“Jack man!” I complained, making him laugh a little
“What?” Alex said walking out, “oh ash, I didn’t hear you come in” he smiled
“Because she was trying to sneak in again” Jack grinned
“Jack!” I complained, Alex might not have realised or said anything
“Ashleigh” Alex warned, I sighed in trouble yet again
“What I was just going in my room to get changed?”
“don’t lie you just didn’t want to do your homework” Jack smirked I was going to kill him soon and he knew it, but with me in trouble already I would just get told off even more, which he also knew and loved it,
“Jack shut up and go annoy someone else” I snapped, regretting it seeing Alex’s face,
“Ashleigh, stop it, and Jack stop winding her up” Alex said using his parental tone, Jack stopped smirking, “and why are you hiding homework?” Alex sighed, I had gotten in trouble for not doing it and now he was obsessed
“I was going to do it later, it’s just a tiny bit and you wouldn’t let me relax first” I explained
“If you said that before I would have, I want you to do it now, and show me it” he said pointing to my room
“fine” I said annoyed and stormed off slamming my door, I turned my computer on and got some books out, plus a textbook to make sure it looked like I was working in case he came in, I looked at the work I had while the computer was loading, and did the stuff that was due, it really wasn’t much, I put it away, and replaced it with another book so I would be left alone if anyone looked in, I opened up Facebook, twitter and YouTube, looking through everything, my door opened so I minimized it all and started to work, but didn’t look up
“You know if you’re going to fake it for Alex you should make sure the books are for the right subjects, even I can tell they are all different and thrown open,” Jack laughed
“Jack go away” I said through my teeth not looking at him,
“I came to call a truce, and find out what’s up” he smiled, the real smile, not the ‘I just want to get you in trouble because it’s fun’ look he had so often,
“Fine, and nothing” I smiled looking down at my book, trying to work so he wouldn’t look any deeper
“You know you are a bad liar, why bother?” he said kneeling beside my desk
“Jack I’m busy”
“No you’re not I can see the twitter and YouTube page, close don’t minimize have I taught you nothing?” he laughed
“Jack let me work” I complained I really didn’t want to talk to him
“Fine but I will come back I can tell you don’t have much more”
“whatever” I said, concentrating on my work, there really wasn’t much to do, I did it all and sat in my room not really doing much, if they saw me on the computer then they wouldn’t leave me alone now, after a while Jack came back in
“You done?”
“No” I said reading through what I had done already
“Liar stop trying to avoid talking, I can tell and it only makes me more determined”
“Fine what do you want to know?” I sighed closing my books and turned around,
“why have you been getting into trouble so much, before you moved here you were such a goody two shoes and now, well I just want to make sure you are ok”
“I’m fine, so I don’t do all my homework what’s the problem?”
“would you have said that to your mum?” he asked, no one ever brought her up it had only been a few months since she died and I was moved to America to live with my uncle who was the only family I really had that I knew,
“No” I said quietly looking down, so I had been acting out I thought I would be given some slack,
“Then what’s going on, are you doing ok, Alex is scared to ask in case he upsets you, but I think you need it, you need to talk or something, he is hurting too ash” he said gently, that got to me,
“What am I meant to say? I’ve lost my mum, I’m in a new country, new school, I have no friends here, yes I miss her and my old life but I don’t want to talk it won’t help anything” I said frustrated, “I try to keep in contact with people through my Facebook but they aren’t trying as hard as they were, sometimes I just feel alone here”
“Why couldn’t you tell me this?” Alex said hovering at my door.
