I woke up to the sound of a car backing out of the driveway I know it's mum. I look over at my bedside table and look at the time
8:20
were in red line numbers but my eyes are diverted to the note next to it. I picked it up straight away and started to read.
Good morning
I got called by work this morning for a last minute 2 week business trip if I took them up on their offer for the trip then it would be an extra 13000 for the house renovation and your father will be back in 3 weeks from his trip to Canada and your older sister will be coming up from Adelaide in this evening and I expect you two to keep the farm up to order. Remember that the smallest black pig is about to give birth and to feed the mice as well as guinea pigs and rabbits. Call me if anything goes wrong.
I love u and I am sorry that I couldn't say good bye to you but I will miss you sooooo much.
Love mum❤
Uh typical mum!
I have been staring at it for what I would have said as a lifetime and the clock said as 10 minutes then I realised what the time it actually was. 8:30 was the only thing I could picture in my mind as my eyes widen.
"Damn!" I say as I frantically jump out of bed I run towards my closet and stop in the middle if the room and I am hit by the change of the temperature I close my eyes and remember that my bus leaves in 5 minutes and charge on. Once I reach my closet I rip my ducky pyjamas off and chuck my black leggings and my over sized Mickey Mouse hoodie on.
I bolted down the staircase and started to run down the porch stairs turning back around when I realised I hadn't locked the door I ran back up and turned the key in the key hole before pulling it out and throwing it into my bag then running down the porch stairs for the second time in the space of 1 minute.I start sprinting down the pavement as fast as my stumpy little legs can take me. I have to catch that bus. It pulls up at the bus stop as 4 people hop on, I hope to dear god that one of their bus passes fail, all I was asking for was one bus pass to fail was that too much to ask. It obviously was, because no ones stupid bus pass failed they all worked. I can see the doors of the bus closeup and I knew I had missed my chance I stop running and watch my ride to school drive off into the distance.
I start my long journey to school and get out my phone to keep me company
I hear the beep of a horn and turn around to see a red mustang pulling up beside me. I look towards the drivers seat to see who the driver was and see the one and the only Ben Mitchels the popular, hot, jock who oblivious to most people is a complete and utter jerk.
"Ashleigh Carter?"he says with an adorable questioning look on his eyes
"Yep that's me. Not that you will ever actually need to know it" I mumbled the last bit under my breath.
The car was now at a walking pace and was rolling along beside me. I couldn't help but look at how magnificent the car was it was bright red and the wind shield glass was pristine. I was still marvelling over his ride when his husky voice interrupted my thinking.
"Like it?" He said raising his dark thick eyebrows. This question caught me by surprise as I realised how creepy I would've looked just staring at his car. No I didn't like it, I loved it.
"Oh.... Ummm..... No, I mean yes, I mean no but yes" I say trying to avoid eye contact with him.
"In 11th grade and still can't talk to the cool people" he said shaking his head, a smirk appeared on face when I started narrowing me eyes at him.
"No I am just polite and didn't know how to say that I liked the car cause of how it looked, but that I disliked it because if the person who drives it!" I spat and turn my head sharply as I start to walk away. I am staring straight ahead when a bright red car enters my prerifral vision.
"What do you want now?"I ask
"I was wondering if u would like a lift to school cause you've got 15 minutes to get there an it is a 30 minute walk and a 10 minute drive I could get U there in time." I look down at my wrist watch and see that he is right it is a quarter to nine. I ponder about his offer for moment before nodding and coming towards the car.
"But I have got some rules" I say he raises his eyebrows at me "well the first is that I sit in the back, second is that you have to keep the music on at all times so that we don't have to talk, and the third is that, well I am pretty sure I clarified it already but, don't talk to me" he looks at me with his green eyes twinkling in the sun a smirk on his face.
" you done?" He asked. I nod my head contently and I hop into the back of the beautiful car and look out the window as the scenery starts to move past me and soon it is only a blur.
Thanks for reading this. I am pretty happy with this first part of the story but I really need to start turning Ben into more of a jerk cause at the moment he seems so nice and that's not what I want😡 I have got an idea for the next chapter but I would still really appreciate it if you sent in some new ideas thanks so much for reading.
Bye👋🏼
