*Time period: Middle school; when Josh first saw Ashley and when Ashley first noticed Josh*
Reminder they are both like 11 over here.JOSH'S POV~
I hate my dad. I know it's pretty deep for a middle schooler but l hate my dad. I had to leave my house and move out because of him.
Mom didn't tell us why we were moving out from Texas to LA. I don't think she ever planned to tell us. I heard her fighting on the phone and that's when l knew dad left us.
He was everything. I looked up to him. I wanted to be like him. And now l want to do nothing to do with him and never l never want to be like him.
I am not a selfish jerk like my dad. I will never leave the girl l marry and promise to protect. I would never be like him......right?
I ran and ran and end up in a beautiful place. This is the most beautiful place l have ever seen. There's a waterfall and fire flies all around. It was so peaceful and calming.l sat there and cried and tried to forget how the person l used to look up to left me.
-
It is supposed to be my first day in middle school. Honestly l am not scared. Like what's the worse that can happen? And it's not like anything good can happen either.
That thought went out of my head right after l set my eyes on the most beautiful girl l have ever seen.
I saw her standing by a random tree while staring at nothing and talking to herself as if she was trying to calm herself. I chuckled at that.
She was so pretty. Brown hair grey eyes. I can't imagine what it would feel like if she looked at me with those eyes. I would probably faith.
She then took off to get inside school. I saw her waddle her way towards the locker. A guy was standing there beside her locker.
I neared to them so l could hear the conversation.
"What are you standing here for?" She asked and motioned him to mood.
"Um hi Ashley right? Would like probably l mean go out like uh for a movie or something?" He shuttered. Please don't say yes please don't. L don't know why but l found myself wishing she would reject him.
She stared at him as if he was stupid "No" she said deadpan. The boy looked embarrassed and hurried away. Even if l ever got the courage to ask her out l lost it. But that doesn't mean l will make my presence unknown to her.
I purposely bumped into her and she dropped her books "sorry didn't see you there" l said.
"Stupid mother of-" she started to say and then looked at me and for a second everything stopped. Her grey eyes looked into my Hazel ones.
We stared into each other's eyes for a moment. The best moment. Then she coughed awkwardly and l shook my head and helped her pick her books up.
As our hands made contact l caught her blushing for a second and smirked. She saw that and rolled her eyes still blushing a little.
She gathered all her books and threw them at me. Like literally. This girl is something else.
"Oops didn't see ya there" she said and took off. I stared at her and chuckled. I am definitely not giving up on her even if it means bumping on her everyday.
Ashley's POV~
Middle school. That's it. It's hell. Dad told you to stay away from guys and l understood. He said l am not allowed to date anyone till l am 30 and married. It's a little weird but l am not complaining.
I stood by the tree and started explaining everything to myself so l don't mess up anything. Not that there is anything to mess.
The thing was clear. Stay away from boys they give off negative energy. My mom always scolded my dad for making me hate guys. She thinks Dad rambling about how l can do so much better than stupid guys changed my mind on everything.
After l was done explaining and planning out today to myself by the tree l made my way in to the school.
As soon as l made it to my locker l saw a guy standing over there. I don't even know him but well to be fair l don't know anyone. I think his name starts with an A or like a C.
"What are you standing here for?" I asked like literally he got nothing else to do?
"Um hi Ashley right? Would like probably l mean go out like uh for a movie or something?" He shuttered. Now l would have liked being rude like everyone claims l am and insulted him or something like that. But l am not trying to be a bully or something.
"No" l said in the shortest and nicest way possible you can't never make rejection nice. Its like saying 'hi l can't date you cause you look like my pet jelly fish and l don't need another one' but smiling while saying that. Won't change the fact your ugly would it?
He hurries away from me and l make my way towards my class. Well at least I tried to but someone bumped into me.
"Sorry didn't see you there" the jerk who bumped into me said.
"Stupid mother of-" l started and stopped when l made contact with those eyes. Hazel. Pretty sure they were hazel and unforgettable. He looked into mine as if he's trying to say something.
We looked into each other's eyes then l realized the position l am in and coughed awkwardly. He shook his head and helped me gather my books. I blushed as our hands touched and he smirked at this. Stupid smirking idiot who does he think he is. I rolled my eyes.
As l gathered my books and did the first thing that came into my mind. Threw them at him.
"Oops didn't see you there" l said and walked away from there grinning. I made my way towards the nurse's office.
"Miss Julieeee" l whined and she got out from behind the curtains and rolled her eyes when she saw me. She was a middle age woman and probably my favorite adult person in this school.
"What is it now Ashley?" She sighed and motioned for me to sit down and l did.
"Someone bumped into me in the hallways l think l broke my shoulder" l said dramatically but trying to sound realistic.
"And how am l supposed to know that you're not lying?" She raised her eyebrows.
"I don't know just ask the dozen other people who were enjoying the show and can you please give me that slip or whatever that is" l said.
"No honey just get to class please?" She said or more like asked.
"Fine! But if l have dislocated my shoulder and l die l don't know how you're going to live with yourself" l said and started to walk away slowly really slowly and then she chuckled.
"Ok you drama queen get over here" she sat me down and checked my shoulder "This is the last time sweetheart l am going to get fired or else" she said and handed me the slip. I evilly grinned at it.
"You know l love you rightttt? I didn't mean anything l said before l hope you get a boyfriend or a girlfriend" l said and winked at her and made my way to show the teacher my slip.
But then l bumped into those same Hazel eyes as before...
