Ashley's POV.

"Ashley, Nash is here"

I went down to find Dad chatting with Nash, I grabbed Nash before Dad can tell anything embarrassing.

"Dad we will work on some Chemistry assignments in my room, call me if you need me okay?"

"Leave the door ajar kids, I know you are with Toby but I can't help it with you teenagers and your mixed up feelings, I'm your Dad after all"

"Okay Dad, okay"

I dragged Nash to my room and kept the door opened to satisfy my so 'protective' Dad.

"Umm sorry about dad, he overreacts sometimes"

"No, it's totally okay, I would have said the same things if I were in his place"

Okayy..
Mr.Rude here is going to be a protective Father.
Not really expected either.

It was silent for a couple of minutes, until Nash broke the silence with another unexpected thing.

"So you and Toby are together?"

"Umm yeah I guess so" I didn't see why that concerned him but I replied anyways.

"You guess so? that's a yes or no question you know"

I think he's either a bipolar or a drug addict who only acts nicely when high.

"Yes Mr.Rude we're dating"

"Mr.Rude? I think I like this name" he teased.

"Its suits you" I teased back

He glared at me before changing the subject.

"Let's get started with this assignment"

*****

It took us an hour and a half to finish everything, and now we were just laying on the floor.

"I really want to be the best pair in our chemistry class, I need all the grades I can get" I said.

"Yeah well you're not alone"

"Why Nerdy, What do you want to study ?"

"I really don't know yet, but I want to apply to Stanford University"

"No way!? I want to apply there too"

"Yeah? What major you want to study?"

"I think either Business or Law"

"Someone is ambitious"

I said nothing, I only smiled at him.

"I think you're stalking me"

"Get over yourself Miss Ambitious, I would rather stalk a cat and study her every move"

"Well, let me get that right, same state, same town, same neighborhood, almost same classes, same lunch table, and amazingly same ride back home, and will be the same university if we get good grades, and you think I should get over myself? Haha you wish"

"So you think our ride back home was amazing huh?" He teased

"Now you should get over yourself"

"Why would I? You just said that you thought our ride back home was amazing, well I guess then you owe me a drive to and back from school tomorrow, Miss Ambitious"

And with that Nash got up and left my room, I heard dad chatting again with him, and then I heard the door shut.

*****

This week passed by real quick, I don't know why I drove Nash to and back from school everyday, but I think I got used to it, it's not like I do any special thing for his sake, he's always up and ready before me, and he lives right next door so it was no biggy.

Today was Thursday, which means tomorrow was the big party at Paul's mansion.

This guy's parents are very wealthy, and as usual they're always over seas due to their businesses, so Paul always has the mansion for his own self, with the the other maids and security guards of course.
But I assume he would give them tomorrow off, so they wouldn't spill out to his parents about the party.
He has two grown up brothers, whom are both in Oxford university, not because of their grades, but for their cash, of course.

Anyways, I've not been to a party since my mother got ill, which means almost a year and a half.
So I was a bit nervous, don't know why.

Toby was going to pick me and Melissa up, since she will be at my place getting ready.

Things are slightly getting better between me and Toby, I hope things work out, I mean all couples have their ups and downs right?

Today I will go shopping with Melissa, Hana and Jessica for suitable outfits for tomorrow.

*****

Just as the bell rang we all got our bags, out of the school and hopped into my car ready for our 'girls' shopping day', it always ends up with lots of funny and awkward situations, but it's usually fun.

As I was about to turn the car's engine on, someone knocked on my door, I turned around to find Nash, Andrew and Jake looking at me confusedly.

I rolled my window down waiting for them to tell me what they wanted.

"Where are you going guys?" Andrew asked me.

"We're girls" Hanna pointed out teasing Andrew.

"Yeah I doubt it" he teased her.

"I don't think you do" she replied back.

I swear something is going on between these two, they're always teasing each other in a playful way and having these inside dirty jokes

"The Mall" I interrupted their little chat.

"Kay we're joining" Jake replied.

"And why's that? We're going shopping you know?" I waited for their gross face reactions since I don't know a single guy who likes to go shopping.

"We figured" Nash said as if I was the dumbest on mother planet.

"Well you guys will need to find someone to drive you there, I don't see any room in the car"

"You know you're on the driving seat of a Jeep Liberty right?" Andrew said.

"Come on, I need to buy some new shirts and shoes "

"Okay stop whining and get on, we don't want to be there at midnight Mr.Rude"

And with that all the boys climbed in, and we headed to the Mall.





Hey guys!
