I'm just a regular girl with a crush. Who knew that would turn into so much pain and heartbreak. It seemed harmless when it all started. I guess I was way off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was walking down the street with my best friends, Lance and Daisy, on the way to school. We talked as we wandered at a slow pace not caring about time. We knew we were early today.
"Hey Dase, so who you liken now Josh , Dean or Mac?" I asked.
She replied, "Erm I don't know."
I said to myself in a low voice, "she is not telling me something ..."
"What did you just say?" she snapped in a loud voice. I laughed
"Nothing," I walked faster to defuse the tension.
"So who you liking Ashely?" Lance asked in a shy voice.
"Oh Mason, he's so adorable," I replied in an eager voice gto which Daisy replied
"Yeah I know!" she said. She turned to Lance and asked him who he liked.
"Forget it!" he said in an angry voice and turned and ran off. I asked myself whether it was something I said.

When we were finally at school, I was ready to porpouslly bump into Mason. I had thought my words out over and over again . Then there he was with his cute brown hair, with his big blue eyes but when it came to nudge him i couldn't do it . He looked at me for a second , sending me to blush.
"Hi," I said quickly.
"Hey, do i know you?" he aked in a casual voice. Even though I was hurt by that comment, I quickly said,
"Sorry wrong person," I tried walking away as fast as I could but somebody held me back.
"Wait a minute! I never got the chance to introduce myself. I'm Mason."
"Nice name, I'm Ashley," I said smiling.
"I don't have a nice name, you do," he said laughing.
"Stop it," I said blushing.
"Stop what?" he asked, coming closer to my face, making me blush deeper.
"N-nothing," I stuttered, looking at the floor.
I heard his roar of laughter. As I looked up, he quickly stopped and looked serious.
"Do you wanna go to the Ferry park tonight at 5?" he asked me. i smiled.
"Yeah okay but can I invite my friends?" I asked warily.
"Of course you can," he said, smiling. Suddenly the bell rang loudly, making me jump.
"I've gotta go to class. See you tonight," I said as i felt another brush trying to make its way onto my face.
"Bye," he said, smirking.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As I entered the park with Lance and Daisy by my side, I saw Mason staring at us, waving. I heard Lance moan but waved while faking a smile. Daisy and I were grinning and waving. As we met face to face with Mason and his friend, my eye caught sight on a a 7 year old boy riding his bike past us.
"Ashley, do you have a crush on that little boy?" Daisy said laughing.
"Shut up," I said getting embarrassed.
"Your cute when you get embarrassed," Mason said to me smirking. I looked at Mason and smiled.
"What's your name?" Lance asked the boy standing next to Mason.
"Christian," he said loudly.
"Hey Mason you coming to have a fag?" Christian asked Mason.
"A WHAT?" I said, a little too fast.
"A fag? You know, a cigarette?" Christian said smirking at my stupidness.
"You guys smoke?" I asked, feeling a bit down.
"Yes," Mason said, sensing my sadness, "But I'm giving up soon."
"Really?" Christian said.
"I'm bored," I said, to stop the argument I saw coming on.
"DARES!" Daisy shouted, excitedtly.
"Yeah!" everybody, except me, screamed.
"I'll dare first," Daisy said before anyone had even sat down. "I dare Lance to scream 'I'm single and ready to mingle!' Daisy said. He suddenly screamed
"I'M SINGLE AND READY TO MINGLE!"
"My turn!" Christian said, childishly waving his hand in the air, "I dare Mason and Ashley to kiss right here, right now," he said smirking. Lance looked like he was going to hurl because by the time I could say anything Lance had already said,
"No kissing!"
"Why not?" Daisy and Mason said at the same time.
"B-b-because we hardly know eachother," he said quietly.
"Be a man Lance!" Daisy said.
"Yeah Lance!" Mason and Christian added.
"Okay, lets see some lip action!" Christian said, licking his lips.
"Christian, by the look on Ashley's face, it doesn't look like she wants to kiss in public. Lets go to the bushes Ashley," Mason said. I smiled. We got up and walked over to the bushes while Christian and Daisy wolf whistled behind us.
"So..." I said, sounding nervous. Without a reply,Mason crushed his lips to mine. He pulled away and said
"I don't talk, I kiss." He winked at me then gave me a quick hug and kissed me again on the cheek. As we walked hand in hand back to the others, everybody exept lance cheered. I blushed and sat beside Daisy.
"Right, my turn," said Mason, "I dare Lance and Daisy to kiss."
"NO!" Lance said quickly.
"Why not?" Daisy said, looking a bit hurt by his reaction.
"Well because were best friends. Why did you want to?" Lance asked, looking down.
"I just wanted to know why!" she said, faking a laugh.
"Aw but that's not fair. I had to kiss Ashley!" Mason said angirly.
"Thanks a lot Mason!" I cried, storming off.
"No Ashley! I didn't mean it like that!" he said sheepishly.
"Sure you did!" I shouted as I ran away, tears pouring down my face.
