Stained

Chapter Two

Ashton

I think that I'm insane, because in those moments of talking to Mad, I seemed to forget about the prowl for sex. I'm going crazy. I can pretty much feel it. Why else would I feel this way. This girl has been working her way into each and every one of my thoughts today, and I'm not really in the 'bang' mood, despite all of the offers I've been given. I really do hope that she decides to come over.
Whoa!
I mentally slap myself in the face.
Ashton Grayson Crawford does not beg for a girls attention. It should be the other way around. When I first saw her, I thought she'd be an easy target, but Mad, she has so much more depth in her then the other girls here. And she's a lot prettier too. She has these looks, that are so, so alluring. She's so mysterious, but not a hipster mysterious, like a genuine mysterious. That makes absolutely no sense at all, but with the shades and her moles, and her one dimple on her cheek.
She's hot.
I kinda want to get to know her. Maybe, this could be my settling down point.......
Am I insane!
I'm delusional.
After what seems like one minute a while period went by.
"Come on Ashy boy, you're gonna be late for your next class." I hear Mad say playfully.
"Coming Mad." I say as I grab her hand and pull her on me. She quirks up a brow but frowns.
"You, mister are not in the same class as me." She says as she tries to pull herself off of me.
"Well then I guess I'll have to see you at lunch, Mad." I say as I loosen my grip.
She gets up slowly.
"I'll see you after school, meet me in the parking lot." I hear her whisper into my ear. It makes me tingle with delight.
Maybe Maddie is my settling point.
Yep.
I am insane.

Madison

I can't help but feel giddy after my encounter with Ashton. I was literally a different person. I liked it. I felt confident.
For a bad boy, he sure is at a loss of words.
Sometimes.
I'm still tingling from where he touched me. What does this mean? I can't possible like him. Can I?
No, I don't even know what like is.
I've just met him, and he seems like a complete whore.
"Hey, yo babe, what's up?" I hear a cocky guy say. I swivel around.
"Oh, nothing really," I start saying very seductively as I walk closer plucking a hand on his chest. He takes in deep breaths, "I was just about to shove your face into the locker if you don't shut the fuck up." I say a tint more aggressively.
"Oh yeah, well then what are you going to do if I did this!" Before I can react he kisses me square on the lips. I yank him away, Ashton coming to my side.
Adrenaline pumps through my veins.
"Don't you ever do that again!" I yell as I punch him in the jaw. He seems to get up no problem. So of course, Ashton steps in. Both him and Ash are going to duke it out. The mystery guy throws the first punch at Ash's lip. It's already swelling.
"How stupid of you, she can say you harassed her and what she has was self defence. I can say the same thing."
The other guy looks even more aggressive when he says this.
Ashton quickly punches him in the nose, making the guy cry. What a wimp.
"Asshole." I spit as I walk away to the guy crying in the floor.
When Ashton and I reach a deserted hallway we start jumping around like second graders.
"Did you see the tears on his face!" I laugh. I start to clutch my stomach from all the laughter.
"That was so funny!" Laughs Ashton along side me.
Once the laughing subsided we are called to the principals office.
"You shouldn't have intervened." I say quietly.
Ashton stops almost instantly.
"You don't know him, he would have came back for more. And plus, wasn't the pain worth all the laughs?" He asks as he starts to giggle.
"Quite some first day of school." I snort.
"It's may, school is almost done. Don't worry about it." he says cooly. I just smile and secure my shades into place.
For some reason he reassures me. I'm not completely sure why, I think that it is just his attitude.

We take a seat in the principals office, the guy who kissed me on my one side and Ash on the other.
"Ashton, would you like to tell me what happened." Asks Ms. Weaver, our principal.
"The guy was harassing Madison, started kissing and groping her. She did it for merely self defence. I did it for the same reason. Connor, he punched me fir-"
"No! He made me!" Yells Connor. I scoff.
"Yeah, Well in my story, nobody gave a flying fu-" I get cut off by Ms. Weaver
"That is quite enough, Madison." Declares Ms.Weaver. "You two are excused since it is his fault." She waves us out. Ashton and I grin while Connor gets all flustered and crosses his arms, pouting.

"It's lunch, c'mon." Says Ashton pulling my arm out the door.
"Where are we going?" I ask as we head out of the door.
"Out for lunch, with Gilles and Quinn, Gillies is Quinn's boyfriend. now hurry up slow poke." He says in a playful voice, still tugging my arm.
I just grin and let him lead the way.

I see Quinn and Gilles talking, sharing some fries.
"Who's the new girl?" Asks Quinn.
She has long curly blonde hair, that's pulled into a french side braid.
She looks so elegant.
Wearing a sky blue short sun dress, she's revealing her short tan legs, despite her pale face.
"I'm Madison." I say while readjusting my shades. "You are?" I ask cooly even though I know that she's Quinn.
She just grins revealing slightly yellowed teeth.
"Quinn, this is Gilles. What's up with the shades, you need 'em for some reason? Just asking."
"Well Quinn, I actually do need them for a reason." I remark.
This is none of her business
"Sorry for asking." She says as she lifts her hands in defence.
"Gillies." He says as he gives my hand a hearty hand shake, I feel my shirt slip a bit.
"Is that a tattoo?" Asks Ashton, genuinely intrigued.
"Yes." I say as I pull up my shirt "I'm not quite sure as to why you're looking there." I say as I slap his hand away from pulling down my shirt.
"What is it?" Asks Quinn.
"Just something stupid." I say.
"Oh come on, Mad." pleads Ashton.
I sigh. "You guys can see it, just in private. It takes up about this much." I say as I make a shape that's about 1/6 of my back.
"That big?!" Says Quinn.
"Yep. Oh wait, I have a picture on my phone, here." I say as I motion my phone towards them. They are seeing my all black, Jesus pinned to the cross tattoo.
"So you have two?" Asks Ashton. As he examines my phone.
"Yeah, the other one is just a vine of flowers on my hip. It's nothing really."
"Looks like this girl has more street cred than she looks." Says Gilles smirking. I scoff.
"I have 'nough street cred." I say as I gesture to my face.
"Well, Gillies and I are gonna head to the bathroom." says Quinn as she and Gillies head off.

When they are out of ear shot I spin around.
"What's the 'bathroom'" I ask as I make the hand gestures for quotation marks with my hands. I'm quite eager. The bathroom. It sounds cool.
"It's this old abandon bathroom that people go into to fuck and do drugs." Says Ashton like it's absolutely nothing.
I quirk up an eyebrow.
"I'm pretty sure you've been in there. " I say as I shove him on the shoulder.
He looks at me blankly.

Ashton

What's that supposed to mean?
Is she implying that I'm a man whore. I mean I know I am, it's just I didn't expect that, especially from Mad.
"I'm out of my 'whore' stage." I grumble. she just smiles and starts to pick at her fries, ditching the short soggy ones for the long and crunchy ones.
"Why do you always wear those glasses?" I ask. She looks at me from behind the shades.
"Obviously, it's to get laid by the bad boys from this school." she says as she laughs. She tilts her head back, her hair falling into place perfectly. I laugh along with her.
"Okay, for real though?" I say once the laughing subsides.
"I've known you for less then a day, do you really want me to scare you off?" She asks playfully.
"What, do you have a glass eye or something?" I joke as I plop a baby tomato into my mouth, from her salad.
"Not exactly, you'll see my eyes, when you see my eyes." She says in a mysterious tone.

I spend the whole day trying to get her to take her shades off.

I'm very unsuccessful in doing so, Mad seems pretty intent on keeping her glasses on.
But I'm fine with that.
You know, for now.
