Regretted Wish.

Chapter 3.

            I wake up extra early the next morning. I feel a wave off depression and anxiety in the air. I get dressed fix my hair and makeup and go eat breakfast. My mom comes in the kitchen balling her eyes out. I wonder what happened.

"Is everything okay mom?"

"Doogie passed away."

Doogie. My dog whom i got when i was in 4th grade. He has 11 years old in December. I couldnt breath. He was so amazing and sweet. One time we thought we lost him. We were sick to our stomachs. Took two days before my mom looked in the garage for a hammer for lost posters. Good ol Doogie was happily in there. I just stared at my mom in disbelief. He had been sick for awhile but i didnt think this sick. I just couldnt imagine how life would be without him.

"What. What do you mean he passed away?"

"He died Ash. Hes gone. My baby is gone." She breaks down onto the table and begins to shake. They were very close. Wherever she was expect him right by her. I didnt know how to comfort her. I rubbed her back and told her everything would be ok. She told me i should get ready for school and leave so im not late.

        Today was Friday. I have Liam in gym Algebra and science. I also have Kylie in all those as well.

         Im at my locker when i hear someone walking towards me.

"Hey!" It was Liam.

"Oh hey Liam." Im still pretty confused on why he cares. Even if he feels bad. Didnt he date Kylie! He has seen her push me in the lockers drop my books call me names. He had to.

"Wanna walk to first class together?" What. Yah ill have to explain to him that its not ok for a loser like me to talk to a socialight like him.

"Im gonna have to take a hard pass."

"Come on please. I wanna talk to you."

Of course. He will always get his way. I finally give in.

"So why do you care so much about me. I just dont understand." Hopefully i dont sound mad that he cares.

"Well. Kylie and her friends have always been so mean to you. But you just always look like you didnt care and wiped it off your shoulders. But after we broke up i tried putting myself in your shoes. I tried to see the world from your prospective. I began to realize that you actually do care. Even if your say you dont. You do. I decided i was going to try to get to know you better. Try to be nice and be your friend. But then Wednesday you posted a song on your YouTube about your pain of being bullied. I had to change asap. I cant just stand here and watch you be bullied while you stand there and watch me be popular. I just couldnt." Wow. Thats so sweet of him. I feel like i could talk to him for hours and hours and not get bored once. My first class was the next door.

"Wow. That means a lot to me yanno? Youre a really good guy. My class is right here. I gotta go but ill talk or see or catch or whatever people say you later!" Wow im so dumb. He looks at me with pitiful eyes.

"Yah sure. Byee Ashley."

I just sat there in my first class. Not knowing what would happen when i leave. Longest hour of my life. I just wanna go home and sleep all day. I just miss having my bestfriend. Did i mention shes in all honors which means we have no classes. At all. DIIIINNNNGGGG.. That was the bell! Omg first period is finally over. I get out as soon as i can. I see Josh waiting by my locker. Why? I dont know.

"Oh hey Liam! Didnt know you knew where my locker was! Besides arnt you supposed to be with your jokie friends?"

"Ashley. I told you. I am just not that kind of guy. I cant stand football actually. I love science and math. Hate baseball and sports. I wanted to be at the top and now that im here i hate it. Yanno?"
