Ashlynn's pov
--- --- --- --- --- ---
I woke up and realized today is the day I start volunteering at the homeless shelter. Hillgrove is a pretty big city but that doesn't mean that everyone doesn't know who my family is. We're the St. Jeranger's. Everyone who's anyone knows us. And when you live in Hillgrove everyone is someone. I paced for a minute looking out my window and playing with my dirty blonde wavy hair. I decided what I was going to wear to go to the shelter today and went downstairs to eat breakfast."Ashlynn what time is mom and dad coming home from the cancer banquet?" My brother Ashton asked me. My parents are both world famous doctors.
"I don't know Ash today I'm starting my volunteer hours at the shelter. I won't be home for a while." I replied as Ashton's girlfriend Daria walked through the door. My parents are great people but are strict about the people my brother and I have a special interest in. My parents don't approve of Daria because she's not super rich. It's pretty shallow if you ask me.
***Time Lapse***
I finally arrived at the shelter with my hair curled my gold necklace and earrings on with my black stelletos, gold dress with my black jacket. I walked in and immediately noticed there was at least over 60 people here. It made me instantly sad. A woman came up to me and I assumed she was the owner of the shelter.
"Hello you must be Ashlynn St. Jeranger. I'm Sarah." -She said shaking my hand.- "Well today I would just like you to get to know some of the... residents here, If that alright?" Sarah said. "Yes of course." I didn't know where to start. But then I had my work cut out for me when a tall boy that looked about my age spoke to me."So tell me, what is a St. Jeranger doing in a homeless shelter." He had deep blue eyes and hair a bit darker than mine.
"I'm volunteering here. Who are you?" I asked back.
"I'm Toby. And before you ask I've been homeless all my life and I'm 17 and I don't have any family." he smiles at me and I take a seat beside him on his bed.
"Well, Toby. I'm here for you I guess." I said trying to sound comforting
"Haha. That's what they all say Ashlynn. Plus, you don't know me." He said standing up and squinting his eyes at me.
"But maybe I could get to know you..." I said.
"I think that might be worth my while. I have to head out now. Bye St. Jeranger." he waved and winked I blushed and waved back. Maybe volunteering isn't so bad.
