Ashlyn POV
My alarm went off. God, I hate Mondays so much. I got up and did some stretching. I heard a loud knocking on my door. I fell from my stretching position and hit the floor.
"Oww.." I mumbled.
My dad came in.
"The bus is down the street"
"WHAT" I quickly got up.
I ran out of my room and past my mom
"Bye, sweetie!" She was also in a rush.
I grabbed my book bag and rushed outside. The bus had just arrived at my house. I got on the bus. I looked around and saw an empty seat. It had two kids behind it. A blonde and brunette boy. I sat in the seat. I kept hoping they wouldn't talk to me.
"Hey!" The blonde boy said.
Oh no...
"hey.." I replied.
"I'm Aiden!" Aiden said.
And I don't care.
"And this is my cousin Ben. He doesn't talk much. What's your name?"He seemed very hyper.
"I'm Ashlyn," I said a bit coldly.
"Is that where you live? What's up with the bus graveyard? Is it haunted?!" Aiden asked excitedly. "It's just where they put old school buses.. not haunted," I replied.
"Aww- I was wishing it would at least be paranormal," Aiden said.
"Okay it's nothing personal but I'm tired. I'm not in the mood to talk.." I said to Aiden.
"Oh, you shy? Don't worry! I'm great at talking so that won't be a problem!" Aiden said.
He continued talking and talking. I kinda zoned out and wasn't really listening.
At school
Aiden was still talking. They were both still following. Aiden was talking when Ben grabbed him by his book bag.
"Eh?" Aiden asked.
Ben pointed to the office.
"Oh right!" Aiden said, turning back to look at me.
To my luck, I quickly left before he could notice. I heard him continue talking to Ben with his loud voice.
I walked into my class. I saw all the desks had names on them. Assigned seats... I looked for mine. It was by a window. I looked at the desk beside mine. It said 'Aiden c' oh no. Maybe there's another Aiden? I saw that Ben C sat behind him. I pretend I do not see. The bell rang. Class started. But the teacher wasn't in. Suddenly a brunette girl and brunette boy ran in.
"WE ARE SO SORRY OR BEING LATE PLEASE DONT MARK US TARDY- oh wait he's not even in here" the brunette girl yelled.
Suddenly the teacher came in behind them.
"I'm here now. Your marked tard- just kidding! I have a classroom rule that if we're both late and you get here before me you're safe." The teacher said.
The twins sighed. "Tyler.. where's your shoe..?" The teacher asked.
"Um- so it kinda got thrown into a wall-?" Tyler said.
"You should get that after class.." The twins sat down and the teacher walked in.
Aiden and Ben are behind him. Aiden's face lit up when he saw we were in the same class.
"So we have some new students." The teacher said. "I'm Mr.Thomas." Mr Thomas wrote his name on the board. The teacher looked at Ben.
Wanting him to introduce himself. Ben shook his head and sat down. Aiden walked into the middle of the front.
"I'm Aiden! That's my cousin Ben. I like skydiving, skiing-" After he was done introducing himself he sat down.
He seemed happy that he was near me. The twins went up.
"Hi, I'm Taylor! This is my twin brother Tyler!" They say back down.
A small kid went up.
"H-hey.. I'm Logan" he sat back down.
Everyone introduced themselves and class started. "So everyone we have a field trip coming up! Since we're learning about savanna we'll be going." Mr Thomas handed out a field trip paper.
Yeah, I'm not going.
"We'll be doing a group project!" I ended up in a group with Aiden, Ben, Taylor, Tyler, and Logan. now we sat together. We all exchanged numbers.
After School
I was sitting in my seat on the bus.
"Are you going?" Aiden asked.
"Huh?"
"The field trip," he said.
"No" I replied.
"Why not!"
"I don't want to." My stop came up.
"Bye Ash!!" Aiden said.
I got off the bus and went inside.
"Hey, trooper! Make any friends?" My dad asked.
"no," I said.
"You gonna have to make friends someday." My mom chimes in.
I scoffed and went into the living room. There was a knock on the door. I didn't think much of it. Until Aiden texted me 'knock knock'
"MOM DONT OPE-" she opened the door and Ben and Aiden were out there.
"Hey, I'm Aiden! Ashlyn's friend! This is my cousin Ben! Can we come in?" Aiden asked.
"Omg yes," my mom said.
She welcomed them in and we all sat in the living room.
"So there's a field trip! And we wanted to know if ash was going?" Aiden said.
"Field trip?" My mom questioned.
"Ash didn't tell you?" Aiden handed her the paper. "This seems fun! My dad said.
For the rest of the week, Aiden bugged me about the field trip. "Are you going?" "You going"
The day of the field trip. I decided to go. We were getting on the bus and I sat next to Aiden. Well, he sat next to me.
"Want a puzzle?" Aiden asked while doing a Rubix cube.
"Oh I'm not a puzzle person," I said. I give up too easily.
"Well, it's easy!" He finished the Rubix cube in .04 seconds and handed it to me.
"Give it a try! If you don't like that I have more" he opened his book bag and revealed a bunch of puzzles.
Taylor came up to Aiden.
"Hey, can I borrow one?" Taylor asked.
"Sure!" Aiden replied giving her one.
The bus was gonna be a long ride. I was looking out the window. I started to feel a bit tired. Before I knew it I fell asleep.
Aidens POV
Ashlyn had fallen asleep. I took the Rubix cube out of her hand and put it in my bag. I was talking with Ben and Logan when I felt something on my shoulder. Ashlyn had leaned on my shoulder in her sleep. I felt my face get hot. I was blushing. I got a text from Ben, 'Aiden your blushing- do you like that ginger girl?' The text said.
"No!" I said, blushing even more.
Ben laughed at me a bit. A few hours later Ashlyn finally woke up. She realized she slept on me and blushed a bit.
"Omg- Aiden I'm sorry-" she was embarrassed about it.
"It's fine!" I said.
I had stopped blushing. Still have my smile. We had arrived in Savanna. We all got off the bus and Ashlyn stretched. Everyone could hear her bones crack *crack, pop, crackle, crack* we were a bit amazed but didn't mind it. We were all walking around when someone asked us.
"Do you want a tour of the sorrel weed house?"
