Paisley's POV

The next morning I wake up and I'm already smiling from the amazing day I had yesterday. I can't believe that I'm actually talking to Ashton. What are the chances? Well in my case, it's slim to none. I feel like I won the lottery, haha.

I don't even check my phone yet, in case he hasn't text me. My parents can't know about the whole thing with Ashton, they'll only think I'm lying. I skip downstairs and grab my usual boring breakfast. Eww, I despise breakfast. It's just so bland and gross. Maybe it's just because I'm not a morning person? I don't know. I'm in a really good mood and my parents probably just think it's some stupid girl thing.

I hurry back upstairs and throw on a pair of light blue denim shorts with rips in them and a white tank top that says 'Hello Summer'. I twist two strands of hair back and secure them together with a couple of bobby pins and then brush my teeth. I never wear any make up because I'm not allowed, but I feel like I need it. It won't make me pretty but it'll at least help with the eyesore called my face.

Finally, I decide to check my phone. He probably won't text me, I mean, it's Ashton. He's probably busy and talking to other people instead of wasting his time on a fan like me.

Sure enough there was a text and he stayed true to his word, and I'm surprised. Not that he kept his word, but that he was actually putting an effort into this whole friendship thing.

Ashton: Good morning! :)

Me: Hey Ash :)

Ashton: Okay, so let's get to work shall we?

Me: Uhh.. Work?

Ashton: Yeah, trying to make you realize that you really are beautiful.

Me: Oh gosh Ashton. Are you okay? Did you like hit your head really hard or something? I think we need to get your eyes checked out or take you to the ER. This seems serious.

Ashton: Well if I have a concussion then I'd like to keep it this way because you really are pretty. Why don't you see it?

Uh oh. I can't tell him about my past, he'll probably freak out and leave or something. I don't even know how to tell him or even if I should. But he deserves to know the real truth of he's asking. I've only told Adrianna about my broken family. It's not like Ashton would tell anyone, right?

Me: It's a really long story and my fingers are too lazy to type :P

Ashton: Is your voice tired?

Me: What

Ashton: Ya know, is your voice tired?

Me: Uhh. No?

Ashton: Okay good. Wait a sec.

Me: Um okay then???

Suddenly my phone starts buzzing and Ashton's caller ID pops up on the screen. I'm literally screaming inside. Being the idiot that I am, I freak out and press decline.

A few seconds later Ashton texts me. Oh no..

Ashton: You ignored me :(

Me: Uh yeah did you like butt dial me or something?
