I HATE YOU :: xiv. | bird songs ( flashbacks will be in italics )
It was the night before, everyone was arguing about the time capsule being released. It was mainly just Chad, Ashely, Peyton and jake. They were all at Peyton's house in her room. They all remember that moment all so vividly, especially Ashely. Her's was the worst to hear, at least she thought so. As everyone continued to bicker about earlier in the day, Ashley was lost in her own mind— recalling everything that happened leading up to the time capsule fiasco.
It was a normal, regular day for everyone. As usual, Ashely ignored Rachel, Peyton and Chad were being weird, and Jay was being secretive. Nothing out of the ordinary at this high school.
Ashely was walking the halls to class with Bevin and Alexa by either of her sides. They were headed to the gym, Bevin was meeting the cheer team while Ashely and Alexa were just going to sit on the bleachers and watch. Alexa paid close attention but that's not where Ashely's attention held, she was watching the basketball team, she was keeping a close eye on lucas. Ever since finding out about his heart, everyone's been worried or walking on eggshells around him. Ashely just wanted to make sure he'll be fine.
As he was waiting for his turn to layup, he looked over and waved, she waved back. Rachel saw this interaction and rolled her eyes. After about twenty five minutes, everyone was sent to break for like fifteen minutes. Soon enough, break was over and the cheerleaders along with the basketball team finished up their practice then began to make their way to lunch.
Ashely went and sat with Chad, Alexa, Peyton and Jay at one of the tables in the courtyard outside the school. They were all talking about whatever, gossip, school. They were enjoying themselves. About thirty minutes later, everyone began to transition to their next class. They had about seven minutes until the final began rang. So Ashely went to her locker to switch out her books and as she dug through her locker, she saw everyone making their way to the tv that's held in the hall. Everyone was murmuring to each other as she walked past the crowd. She looked up and Lucas was on the screen, the time capsule— she immediately thought of. She hoped someone would shut it off before she came on the screen.
