It's been 2 days since I last saw Ashton.  But I've made pretty good friends with his besties, hehe.

                 Flashback 2 days ago

     I sit with my friends at our usual lunch table. I haven't seen Ashton in any of my classes. I look around and see the other two people in his pose sitting at their lunch table, no Ashton in sight.

     I walk over to them and sit opposite from them, "That's Ashton's seat." James says with his mouth full of food.

     I roll my eyes, "I don't see Ashton sitting in it," I look over to his other friend, whoms name I still don't know, "Actually, I haven't seen him all day."
     "No name" guy just stares at me with a bored expression before turning his attention back to his phone.

     James swallows his food, "He's ditching a few day to plan a really bad prank on you!" He says excitedly. "No Name" guy elbows him in the side.

      "Ouch. Sorry Tyler." Oh, so his name is Tyler.

     "I'm guessing I wasn't supposed to know that?" I ask rhetorically.

     "Nope." Tyler replies, eyes still glued to his phone.

     "So he speaks." I deadpan.

     We sit in an awkward silence for a few moments before I decide to break it. I'm getting tired of hearing Tyler snicker mischievously at his phone every few seconds.

     I snatch it out of his hands and take a peek, "Hey!" He protests.

     "What? Something I shouldn't see?" I laugh and look down at the screen.

     Definitely shouldn't have looked.

     "Yes." He mumbles after taking back his phone. I was too shocked to try and fight back. He can have it.

     "Remind your parents not to go through your search history." I say before getting up and leaving.

     I'm going to have girls in Bikinis (and a lot less) imprinted in my head forever now.

                     End of Flashback

I shiver at the memory.

Walking down the empty hallways, I make my way to the recording studio inside the music room. I got permission from the teacher to use it after school whenever I wanted to so here I am, on a Thursday, at 5:23 pm, in the music room, about to jam out.

I unlock the glass doors and sit in front of the mike, taking out my guitar. I start singing my favorite song. My dad taught me how to play the chords when he noticed how I would listen to it all the time. I love 21 Pilots, and so did he. Listening to it now makes me feel even more connected to him.

I start strumming, and begin singing "House of Gold" by 21 Pilots.

She asked me, "Son, when I grow old
Will you buy me a house of gold?
And when your father turns to stone
Will you take care of me?"

I start strumming harder,

She asked me, "Son, when I grow old
Will you buy me a house of gold?
And when your father turns to stone
Will you take care of me?"
I will make you queen of everything you see
I'll put you on the map
I'll cure you of disease"

At first I didn't notice, but as the person came closer, I realized someone started singing with me. I ignored it and continued strumming, harmonizing perfectly with the person,

"Let's say we up and left this town
And turned our future upside down
We'll make pretend that you and me
Lived ever after happily"

I laughed a little bit at how much fun I was having harmonizing with this random person, I couldn't see them since my back was turned to the wall,

"She asked me, "Son, when I grow old
Will you buy me a house of gold?
And when your father turns to stone
Will you take care of me?"

The person was now in the recording room with me, I could feel their presence behind me,

Oh, and since we know that dreams are dead
And life turns plans up on their head
I will plan to be a bum
So I just might become someone!
She asked me, "Son, when I grow old
Will you buy me a house of gold?
And when your father turns to stone
Will you take care of me?"

I laughed, picking up my guitar and stopping the recording.

"Our voices went together so well, I might have to make a CD of our cover." I jump a little. I turn around slowly and come face to face with Ashton.

He smirks.

"Finish planning your 'amazing' prank yet?" I ask.

He takes a step closer to me, our bodies almost touching. My heart was beating so loud, I was pretty sure everyone all the way in China could hear it.

"Yes, actually. I have."

"Well, it better not be too bad. I don't want you to humiliate yourself." I say before quickly walking past him.

Ashton's POV

I slide my hand gently into her back pocket, grabbing the keys to her house.

"Well, it better not be too bad. I don't want you to humiliate yourself." She says before walking off quickly.

I take the spare key off of her chain and run after her.

"Hey! You left your keys!" She turns around and grabs them out of my hand.

"Thanks." She then turns around and starts walking off again.

Hopefully she won't notice she only has her car key and her house key on the chain.

As I walk to my car I look at the spare key. I always make sure to get revenge.

It took me a while to think of a prank that wasn't going to be too obvious, or unoriginal. So I thought of something really good. She'll probably get really mad, and she'll probably kill me when she realizes what I've done. But it's going to be so worth it.

~~~
I've been waiting outside of her apartment for a few hours, I check my watch, and it reads 12:05 am. Hopefully she'll be asleep by now.

I go up and unlock her door quietly, gently pushing it open so it doesn't creak.

I tiptoe through her house. It's beautifully decorated with gray and white, and some yellow accents. She must live by herself since it seems to small for more than one or two people. I check the first door to the right and just my luck- I find her sleeping peacefully in her bed.

Awww, she looks cute- snap out of it Ashton! You're not here to watch people sleep like a creeper!

I tiptoe over to her and smooth out her hair. I take the scissors out of my pocket and begin cutting. I cut it just above the shoulders. I'm actually pretty good at cutting hair- don't ask. I make sure to cut it at the right angle since she's sleeping on her side.

She moves around a bit just as I finish. I check to make sure she's still asleep and take the hair I've cut and throw it away.

I put the spare key on her shelf and leave the house.

Cameron's POV

I wake up and ruffle my hair to get it back to its original part. It feels different. Lighter, almost. It feels good. With sleep still in my eyes I ignore the sensation and go to my bathroom. After washing my face I wipe it with a towel and look into the mirror to check My appearance- Immediately screaming.

If you didn't already know, my hair is my most prized possession. I've been growing it out since I was 9, only getting trims to get off the split ends. Now my hair was just above the shoulders.

This cannot be happening.

Looking at my appearance again as I begin to brush my now really short hair. It actually doesn't look bad.

A/N: Like one of these, without a middle part

Actually, this is the healthiest my hair has ever looked! It makes my face look so much brighter. I'm not gonna lie, I kind of dig it!

I start to smile until I realize who must have done this- Ashton f****** Towners.

A/N: There will be a Part 2 of this chapter!!!
