My Sk8er Girl

**Hey everyone! This is the first time me and my friend have ever written a book together and we need your advice. Please comment and tell us what you think; critique us. Also, the beginning is kind of boring, but it gets better, i promise, so just bear with us. :) Thanks!** 

Chapter 1- Ashlynne 

" Oh crap! No, no, no, no! I can't be late for school again!" I'm struggling to get my clothes on while straightening my hair and brushing my teeth. "Deodorant, check. Teeth, check. Hair, check. Clothes, check. Bra... Oh crap!" I ran out to my car, " Come on, come on! I'm gunna make it! I'm gunna make it!" Then all the sudden my phone started ringing, " Hello?" I said in a frantic tone voice. 

"Hey where are you?" said my best friend Brandon. 

"I'm coming. " I said a little irritably.

" Well hurry the bell just rang." He said mimicking my tone of voice. 

"Okay I'm coming as fast as I can, geez!" 

"I'm just saying. Oh and by the way you have three minutes." 

"Okay I'm just pulling in. Go on without me."

" 'Kay bye!" 

"See ya!" I love you, I whispered into the phone, though he already hung up.

I made to class right when the bell rang. I'm eager for it to end (even though it just started) so I can see Brandon. Finally the bell rang, and I literally sprang from my seat and sprinted out to the hall way. To my relief, I saw him leaning against the wall, his hands in his pockets of his baggy jeans and hair perfectly combed into his side fo-hawk, his golden brown eyes searching the hallway, waiting for me like usual. "Did you make it?" he asked me with doubt in his voice.

" Yes, fortunately." 

" Ah dang it, I hoped you would be late, so you can spend some time with that favorite teacher of yours in detention." I glared at him then punched him in the shoulder. 

He held up his hands, like he was surrendering. " Joking! just joking." 

He walked me to my next  class. Time flew by quickly in that class. Most likely because I was thinking of Brandon the whole time. When the bell finally rang, I got out of my seat and started making my way to the cafeteria for lunch. I met up with Brandon in the lunch line. After we got our food, we sat down at our usual table and ate. The school's food isn't very good, so we didn't eat much. 

We started talking about why I was late, then he asked,"Want to come skateboarding with me at the school?" 

"Sure!" I replied a little too much enthusiasm. 

After school ended and I got home, I grabbed my skateboard and headed to the school. Brandon hadn't arrived yet, so I waited for him. I ended up waiting for an hour, so I called him to see what was taking so long. "Hello?" he asked curiously.

"Hey, where are you? I've been waiting for you for an hour. What's the hold up?"

"What are you talking about?" he asked.

"We were supposed to go boarding today. You asked me at lunch, remember?" I said, starting to get confused.

"Oh... yeah. I forgot to mention that that's three days from now."

"That would make sense." I said. He laughed.

"Yeah, I guess it would, huh?" he said while still laughing.

"Yeah, it would," I said now laughing too,"so you wanna hang out then?" I asked eagerly.

"I can't today. I--um--have some things to do. Like--studying. For... for that math test coming up! Yeah, that's what I'm doing." he said hesitantly.
