Hiding from you

Chapter 9

Josh
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I knew it, I knew big bro Marco liked him. I walked out of my room to put up mine and Marco's plate in the sink. After me and big bro finished eating Marco went to sleep. There was Ash washing the dishes, I stood next to him giggling a little then I started to wash my dish. "Oh umm Josh, you don't have to wash it. I will do it just put it in the sink." He tried to reach for my plate but, I denied his request and move Ash' s hand away. "Its fine, but thank you." I started to wash my dish and Ash started doing the same. It was a really long awkward silence but, I decided to talk. "Hey Ash..." Ash looked at me with a smile. "Yes?" It was a long pause again. "Do you like my brother?" Crash! "Oh shoot!" Ash screamed. I turned around and saw a broken glass on the ground. "I'm so sorry." Ash got on his knees looking at the broken glass plate. "I'll get you a new plate when I go back into town." I see Ash reaching for the glass and I stopped him right there. "No! You might cut yourself. Let me go get Marco and he-" "No!" I looked at Ash and he was a blushing mess. "I'm mean *clears throat* no thank you. I can do this myself and I promise to not cut myself." I stare at Ash. I got what I was looking for. I give Ash a big smile. "Oki doki, be careful." I walked off into me and my brothers room. "I will!" Ash said with a smile. I closed the door behind me and I sit on the bed. I look at Marco... he's still sleeping. How could you have slept through all of that big bro Marco? So Ash likes Marco huh. "Hmm" I was thinking about how I can get them together. They would make a cute couple. I may be tiny, little, short, young, and adorable but doesn't mean I can't do this. I will find a way!
Jennifer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So many people are heart broken. I look around me to see so many people crying about Ashley' s death. A lot of people knew her well, not just family and some people from her class, but the whole school. Why is she so popular?! I'm way prettier than she is! She was so nice and helped everybody. Maybe that's what I need to do to beat Ashly...Nah. Being nice is so un-cool. "Hey Jennifer." I look behind me to see a girl in my reading class. "Oh um, hey." That girl gives everyone chills up their spines. She is very plane and shows no emotion to almost anything. But she is the smartest girl in school. "Hey you, umm I forgot your name." The girl walks closer to me. "Chloe." She says with a serious face. She stares at me for a good 7 seconds, then puts her hand on my left shoulder. "Everyone is sad." She says without blinking. I try to move away, but her stare makes everyone paralyzed. "Hehe." I say rubbing the back of my neck. "Sooo IIII Seeee." I'm trying get get away from her grip, but it tightens. "But..." She says before there was a very long pause. Me and her stare in each other's eyes. I stood there without saying anything or moving a muscle. "..." "..." I waited. "Why aren't you?" Chloe continued. My eyes widened and a drop of sweat runs down the side of my face. Crap she's on to me. "...Because...I need to stay happy for her." I said with a smile. "It's what she would have wanted." Chloe loosened her grip and her eyes became calm. I slipped out of her hand and started to walk off, while she stood there looking at the ground.
