Mom: Ashley when I walk in that bedroom you better be awake, I'm not gonna wait on you this morning.
Ashley: I'm awake, in fact I'm almost ready to go, I just need like 10 minutes.Mom: Okay, I'll be down stairs. Want any coffee?
Ashley: No, I'm off caffeine.
Mom: Okay sweetie.I finished my makeup and began thinking of what to do with my hair. It looks pretty good down, I think I'll leave it.
Damn I look good today.
I grabbed my bag and headed downstairs.
Ashley: Okay I'm ready.
Mom: No breakfast?
Ashley: I've literally never eaten breakfast before school.
Mom: Just asking.She sat her mug on the counter and grabbed her keys.
Mom: C'mon.Ashley: Where's dad's car?
Mom: Um, I don't know. He left early this morning. I don't know what for.Something was clearly up, but I'm not gonna get into it this morning.
After a few minutes we pulled up to the school.
Mom: Have a good day sweetie!
Ashley: You too mom.I dreadfully headed straight to my first class, the new one. The teacher was an old man that looked like he taught sleeping.
This is gonna be a piece of cake.
Clearly this was a class of freshmen, I was the only senior. So this was gonna be a sit in the corner and get a passing grade kinda class.
The bell rang and the teacher shut the door and stood before the class.
Mr. Ketlin: For those of you who don't know me, I'm Mr. Ketlin. This is Environmental Science Studies, and you have to pass in order to walk across the graduation stage. So recommend you don't slack—
There was a knock at the door. He rolled his eyes at he went to grab the door.
Mr. Ketlin: Hey kid, the bell just rang.
Eddie: Hey, it's not my fault. Some lady in the hallway said I had to cover tattoos and then she went on this long thing about—
Mr. Ketlin: I don't give a shit just sit down somewhere and give me your name so I can count you tardy.Eddie: Uh, Eddie Munson.
He looked around the room disgusted at the freshmen, until he spotted me. He got a smirk in the corner of his mouth.He walked straight over and sat in the desk next to me.
Mr. Ketlin: Any more disturbances class?
Eddie: Nah, you can proceed.I laughed at his little remark. The teacher looked unamused but moved on. But somehow I couldn't hear him over the sight of the perfect stranger beside me.
He checked his pockets looking for something. He soon met eyes at my staring directly at him.
He's fine as fuck.
Eddie: Got a pencil?
He whispered.
Ashley: Ashley.
Fuck, what is wrong with me? He didn't ask my name.
Eddie: Do you have a pencil, Ashley?Ashley: Fuck, yes sorry.
He snickered at my distraught state. He knew what was happening.I spent the rest of class trying not to look at him. But I could see him staring out the corner of my eye a lot.
When the bell rang I gathered all my things. When trying to leave I jumped into him.
Eddie: Your pencil.
He held it out. It had a number written out on it in sharpie.Eddie: Ashley right?
Ashley: Oh, yeah.
I was so embarrassed.Eddie: Well I'm Eddie, and if this isn't a complete creep move to make, you should call me.
He had a really genuine smile and attempted to hold eye contact, despite me fighting it.
Ashley: I think I will, thank you.
I smiled up at him.
Eddie: Good plan.Ashley: Okay I got to to class, but I'll definitely see you around.
Eddie If I may be so lucky.He walked off to his class.
I went to the next two classes, but after that I had lunch. I met up with Robin at my usual spot, but she had just gotten to school.
Ashley: How was your appointment.
Robin: Oh you know, same old same old. They say I'll die.
Ashley: Okay good, I'm glad nothings wrong.I put my tray down on the table.
Ashley: This looks disgusting.
Robin: Per usual.We picked at our food for a second, probably not going to eat it.
Robin: So did I miss anything this morning?
Ashley: Should I even tell you?
Robin: Um... yes what happened??
Ashley: It doesn't even matter.Robin: Oh my god, it's huge. What happened. Tell me right this instant.
Ashley: A met a guy.
Robin: Gross.
Ashley: And he gave me his number.
Robin: Hell yes he did.Ashley: And he's really hot, oh and super nice it seems like.
Robin: So when are you gonna call him??
Ashley: I don't know, I mean maybe I shouldn't. He probably has better things to do than talk to me.Max came and sat down at the table. I smiled at her briefly.
Robin: Oh bullshit. What's his name.
Ashley: Oh shit, what was it? Oh, Munson. His name was Eddie Munson.
Max: What about Eddie Munson?Ashley: You know him?
Robin: Shit, who doesn't?
Ashley: Oh god, is he bad?
Robin: I mean I don't know.
Max: How have you never heard of him.
Robin: He's kind of a freak.Max: Yeah, plus he's a super senior. Like Billie, you know, not too bright.
Ashley: I don't know, he's kinda charming.Max fake gagged.
Ashley: Oh please. Maybe I will call him ya know. I think I like him.
Max: Suit yourself.
Robin: Maybe he's not all that bad. I mean really, what all do we know about him?Max: He's the bullshit ring leader for Lucas' DND club. With Mike, Will, and Dustin, all them. You really want one of those? Trust me, I love Lucas, but that shit is annoying as hell.
Ashley: Well it's good to have hobbies, and surely there's more to him than that. And I'd love to get to know him.
Robin: I support this, you need a man, like bad.Ashley: No I don't need anything, I would just really like someone. Could be nice.
