Faking Her Way Through

Chapter 5

*After Spanish class*

Xavier puts his notebook and textbook into his bookbag, not even bothering to look up. He quickly swings his bookbag onto his back and hurries up to his last class.

"Geez Xavier, could you go any faster?" Ashlee asks sarcastically keeping a light log to keep up with him.

"I could," Xavier replies looking at the ground as he makes his way to the gym.

"Well could you please slow down?" Ashlee asks starting to get out of breath.

"No, this is my furthest class. I won't want to be late for ANOTHER class today," Xavier responds harshly.

"Well sorry I'm new," Ashlee responds.

"Yeah, whatever," Xavier mumbles just loud enough for Ashlee to hear.

"What's your problem? Like seriously," Ashlee asks stopping dead in her tracks.

"You're my problem," Xavier yells ad runs into the boys locker room.

Ashlee's POV
How am I his problem? Whatever, I don't need him. I hate gym anyway

Ashlee begins to wander around like a lost puppy dog looking for a simple locker room. She finally stumbles across one; fifteen minutes later...

"Hello?" Ashlee asks shyly as she walks into the locker room.

Ashlee tries to look around but the lights are off. Just as Ashlee reaches the light switch another hand does the same.

Both of the girls scream and run the opposite ways. Ashlee stealithly makes her way back to the light switch; the other girl has the same exact idea. They both go for the light switch once again but this time Ashlee's hand bumps the light on.

"I'm so sorry," Ashlee quickly says as she stands in front of the terrified girl.

"It's okay," the girl responds still slightly shaken up.

"I've never seen you around school. Are you new?" The girl asks after a few minutes of silence.

Ashlee stands there taking in the girl's face with tiny dimples forming in the corners of her mouth.

"Yeah I'm new," Ashlee responds after staring at the girl's dimples.

"Well, I'm Ariana," the girl responds with a huge smile covered with braces.

"I'm Ashlee," she responds with an even bigger smile.

"What are you doing in here Ariana?" The gym teacher asks walking onto the locker room.

"I couldn't find the light switch, I forgot to take out my earings. But then I ran into her," Ariana quickly explains.

"Oh you must the new student?" The gym teacher asks looking at Ashlee.

"Yeah I'm the new student," Ashlee responds getting annoyed with the simple question.

"Well I'm going to guess you don't have any gym clothes?" The gym teacher asks raising an eyebrow.

"No, I don't. I had no idea what you guys did for gym class," Ashlee responds embarassed.

"Well I'll let you go this time. Next time if you're unprepared I'm going to take points off," the gym teacher says with a smile.

"Thanks," Ashlee replies with a smile.

"Well we should probably go out there, the other teacher must be wondering where I am," the teacher replies turning around facing the door.
