Ashlyn groaned as she buried her face onto her hands, "looks like school didn't went well" Emma said, "it didn't" Logan replied, eating a piece of cookie he got from the fridge. "Omg, not only am I stuck with that guy on the bus and class, but now I'm in a semester long group project with him." Ashlyn sighed as she pulled her shirt up to her hair, Logan rolled his eyes and hummed "Your being kinda dramatic, but I agree with her." Logan said as he bit into his cookie. "I don't wanna go back tomorrow." Ashlyn said as she shook her head, Logan pulled her hair slightly, earning a glare from Ashlyn.

"Well! On the bright side, maybe you'll finally make some friends." Emma smiled as she said that, reassuring Ashlyn. "We all know that's not gonna happen." Ashlyn and Logan said at the same time, Ashlyn threw a glare at Logan. Logan returned it with a shrug and continued to eat his cookie. "How could you say that?! How can you guys deprive your parents like this!" Emma said and slammed her hand on the table, covering half her face with her other hand. Emma gave a glance to Mike, signalling something. Mike, who understood her signal, fell to the ground dramatically and cried. Emma, continuing, "where are they?"— "our memories of you having sleepovers or birthday parties?" Emma said and shook her head "has she ever been to a birthday party-" Logan asked, Ashlyn kicked him hard, but not hard enough to hurt him "of course I have!" Ashlyn said and rolled her eyes.

"Our memories of bonding with your friends parents and planning play dates?"— "we want those parenthood experiences where we put a glass against your door at 3am and listen to what you and your friends talk about." Mike said dramatically, Logan, couldn't help but burst out laughing at the two, "y'all's acting is so bad! I can't!" Logan laughed, then he choked on his cookie, Ashlyn laughed at him and rolled her eyes "are you guys done yet?" She asked and looked at them. "Yeah." They replied simply and stood back up.

"But in all seriousness, in your entire 15 years of existence, you haven't once had a friend." Mike said and sat down on a chair in front of Ashlyn. "I get that people are exhausting, but sweetie you can't just avoid-" Mike got cut off by Emma "no, I think she's fine Mike. Socialising is more effort than it's worth anyway. Honestly,"— "I'd rather do something else." Emma said and ate a bag of chips. "Looks like ashlyns gonna stay single." Logan said and stuck his tongue out at Ashlyn "I'm gonna shove your social anxiety up your-" "sorry ma'am." .

Knock knock.

"That's probably the delivery guy." Mike said and stood up, Logan's eyes brightened, he looked at him and gulped his cookie down, "what did you buy? I wanna unbox it!" Logan said excitingly "ah! No way!" Mike said and shook his head, Logan glared at him and huffed, before nodding sulkingly. Then, Logan's and ashlyns phone buzzed with notification.

Ashlyn looked at Logan, Logan stiffened up and looked at Ashlyn as the notification showed up on his phone. "Wait dad don't open the door-" Ashlyn said, but it was too late. Mike opened the door revealing Aiden and his family on the front door. "Ah." Aiden smiled and put his phone into his pocket, "Hi!".

Ashlyn sat there with Logan in silence. Logan looked at ashlyns and sighed "what do I do?" Ashlyn thought to herself. "This is getting out of hand. No it was already out of hand before "— "why is he restlessly bothering me? I've made it obvious that I want nothing to do with him yet here he is at my house."— "is he doing this on purpose? Should I just directly tell him to leave me alone?"—"at this point I don't really care if I sound rude anymore."—"I mean, what kind of guy shows up at your house and never asks in the first place?"—"it's been a total of nine hours since I met this dude but I'm certain he's going to thing any peace I have in my life."

Ashlyn sighed and looked around, "I've been here for too long." She said as she leaned back onto the toilet. Logan was still down there anyways god knows what Aiden is doing to that poor boy. Ashlyn went downstairs, finding Aiden sitting next to Logan and yapping with him. Aiden looked at Ashlyn, and smiled "dawg..why do I feel like he's gonna do something?" Ashlyn asked herself and sighed. "Sorry for coming on such short notice."— "Aiden told us Ben, him and your children have been fast friends, so we wanted to come and introduce ourselves-" Aiden's dad was about to continue when he got interrupted by Mike and Emma wheezing and coughing."oh my? Are you two alright?" Aiden's mom asked and looked at them worriedly. "Y-yeah, sorry, please go on!" Emma said and coughed slightly.

"I was just saying that we're happy to see that Aiden and Benny fitting in, we move around a lot so Aiden's always been homeschooled and even for Ben, it's been a while since he's gone out to public school." Aiden's dad continued, Mike looked at the two boys and smiled "oh, that's exciting, are you guys having fun?" Mike asked and looked at them "yep! Especially with the field trip." Aiden replied, Logan looked at Ashlyn who was already looking at him. DID BRO REALLY MENTION THE FIELD TRIP IN FRONT OF THEIR PARENTS?!?!?

"I thought it'd be fun for Ashlyn and Logan to come along too..." Aiden continued and looked at Ashlyn and logan, Logan blinked a few times, Ashlyn was cringing and looking at Logan . "What field trip?" Emma asked, "oh, you guys didn't know?" Aidens mom asked "the kids have this group history project about savannah." She said and hummed "oh right, logan was talking about that earlier." Emma said, she knows Logan would want to go, but doesn't want to since Ash doesn't want to. "Their teacher also planned a field trip to savannah for the project. It'll be an overnight trip though"  Aiden's mom said and nodded as Ashlyn glared at Aiden silently.

After an hour of chit chat between parents, Aiden and his parents left. Aiden gave the permission slip to Logan and Ashlyn before they left "here, incase yall want to come, it was nice meeting you Mrs. and Mr. Banner." Aiden smiled and waved at them before running to ben. "Well, they were nice." Mike said "I thought it was never going to end!" Emma said, Logan was lying on-top of ashlyn's lap and nodded "I agree with dad, there nice but bro! An hour? I'd rather play games." Logan said and groaned as Ashlyn pulled his hair as revenge for pulling hers earlier.

"So kids! About the permission slip." Mike sat up and looked at Logan and ashlyn, Logan looked at him and hummed. Ashlyn hummed, looking at the tv. "I think y'all should go." Mike said "what? On the field trip? Why?" Logan asked "Logan sweetie, we all know you want to go, but won't because Ashlyn won't." Emma said and looked at Logan, Logan made a confused face and shrugged quietly before turning his head to Ashlyn. "You know we aren't actually friends right? I've had maybe two conversations with the guy and one of them was about the project and Ben hasn't even spoken to me." Ashlyn said, Logan nodded agreeing with Ashlyn. "All friendships start somewhere, right?" Mike asked and looked at her.

"But I don't want friendship." Ashlyn replied "someone didn't watch my little pony." Logan mumbled, earning a slight hit on his face, Logan stayed quiet after that. "How do you know? You can guess that you won't like something but you never actually know until you try right?" Mike said and smiled "like how you made me try pickled eggs." Ashlyn asked and looked at him "could've used a better example, but at least you know for sure you hate them now." Mike said, "listen, I won't force ya, I do think it's a good Idea for you to experience things before you hate them though." Mike smiled and threw a pillow at Ashlyn that hit Logan "ack! What did I do!" Logan said and held his head glaring at everyone in the room. Ashlyn and Mike both laughed while Emma smiled, looking at their precious family.
