What If?

what if I wasn't alone?

After announcements, Feona and I compare schedules. Luckily we have three classes together in English, P.E., and Art. While walking to our first class, English, Feona's eyes lit up and she bolts down the hallway leaving me in confusion.

"AAASSHHLLEEEEYYYYYY!!!!!"

Without closing to a stop she tackles someone to the ground and I'm surprised no one is staring. I quickly catch up with her to see if this Ashley is alright. She looks a bit angry until she sees Feona's glowing face.

"FEONA?!?" she says surprised.

"Ashley! What are you doing here!? I thought you were going to be home schooled!" Feona says as she hugs Ashley, who still lays on the floor. Ashley hugs her back, but hits her lightly on her head.

"You could at least let me get up to talk to you! People are looking and it's embarrassing you know!"

"Heyy.. ok ok, finne" Feona pouts a little before getting up in one swift jump and then helps clumsy Ashley up.

That's when I realize how beautiful Ashley really was. Her hair, a beautiful golden brown color, flowed like a smooth river down her back all the way to the back of her knees. Her grey eyes shined endlessy with her wide grin. She might be slim, but she looked so cute and seemed to have plenty of energy in her.

She pulls Feona into another hug and says, "I've missed you sooooo much!!" She let's go and holds her hands instead.

"I came here because my mom changed her mind about homeschooling me for my last year. I know, it's so surprising, I thought she would never, but she said I could get into some mischief at home too. Just to keep on her good side, I thanked her so much and all because you know how she's so strict. And then I got her to let me transfer to this school so I can surprise you!"

"OHMYGOD YOU DON'T KNOW HOW HAPPY I AM OHMYGOD" Feona jumps up and down continuously and hugs Ashley again.

I was about to walk away when Feona spots me. She grabs my fore arm and pulls me next to her so that I kind of bump into her. Wow, she's more bubbly now than when I met her in the auditorium. Ashley smiles at me, but I can see the confusion in her face when she looks at me. I look down.

"I ALMOST forgot to introduce you to my new friend, Nazia. I met her just now at announcements. Nazia, this is my best friend, Ashley. We met in middle school, 8th grade." Feona smiles at me and I look up at Ashley.

I raise my hand slightly and wave it slightly to the side "hi..."

"Hi! It's nice to meet you, you're very pretty!"

I blush, "Thank you - you are uh pretty too. I um I really like your your hair..." nervousness is taking over, oh no. My social skills suck!

Ashley twirls a finger around a bit of her hair and says, "Thanks! I think we are going to become good friends!" Just like Feona said.

We take a look at her schedule, and she has two classes with Feona and one class with me. We all have English and P.E. together. I'm so glad to have so many classes with my new friends. My senior year is so blessed right now. Thank the lord!! I better not speak too soon before I mess it up.

The first bell rings and we all head to English together. Right before we reach the door, I stop dead in my tracks when I sniff the air. Smells like. . . this really sexy cologne. . . familiar. . . sweet like peira. I look around and heat rises to my face when I realize who is here.

My crush - Asher. . . He's SO hot. . .

Ohmygod, my legs feel like jello. I walk like there is something wrong with me.

When your legs don't work like they used to before. . .

Feona and Ashley look back when they realize that I wasn't walking with them. This is so embarrassing, I probably look like I have a fever.

"Hey, Nazia. . .are you okay?" Feona asks concerned while Ashley stares at me like she's analyzing me.

"Nothing! Nothing nothing!" I blurt out.

"Hmm. . ." Ashley looks suspicious and makes me gulp. I'm so afraid my ears might just pop up right now, so I quickly put my hands on my head and look down.

"She's thinking about her crush!!" Ashley eclaims. Oh god, she's figured it out. My head pops up, and so do my ears. But I didn't realize it until I saw them both gasp and look at me like I just grew ears on my head! Oh wait. . .

I twitch my right ear, slam my hands on my head and dash into the class before they could say any more. However, they found two seats to my left and right.

Why are they sitting next to me?? Don't they think I'm a freak? This makes no sense!

Once I make my ears go away, I hide my head under my folded arms ready for insults. When I didn't hear anything, I peek up at the person on my right which happened to be Feona. She seems to be talking to Ashley. . . But with her eyes, like. . . telepathically. . . Then they both giggle and I peek over at Ashley. She notices me watching and I quickly looked down ashamed. They giggle again.

What are they laughing about? Are they making fun of me?

I hide lower in my arms ready to cry. But something surprises me more than Ameena taking her first steps.

"Hey Nazia? It's ok, we are still your friends." Feona says as she placed her hand on my shoulder.

Ashley adds, "Yeah, I think we might be more alike than we originally thought" with a smile.

Wait, no this doesn't make sense. Are they. . . No, isn't this a family thing? Then again I don't know much about what I am. . .

"Class is starting now. We'll tell you more during lunch, don't worry." Ashley whispers, smiling from ear to ear.

I slowly rise and take my books out my bag, tears subsiding. I'm so confused, but I haven't forgotten about Asher. I look around and realize he's sitting RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. Oh how did I become so blessed? Now I can stare at him throughout class. . . Dreamy. His hair is perfect. His face is perfect - even though I can't see it unfortunately.

I was so lost in staring at him I almost forgot about Feona and Ashley, and they are giggling nonstop. They would have been laughing really hard if we weren't in class right now. Sometimes they laughed so hard I can't even hear them! I've had those days, it felt like I was dying. . . I was so confused. Are they laughing at me? I look over at Feona with the what the hell is going on look.

She points at Asher oh no then at me oh no and makes a heart with her hands. If it could, my jaw would have been on the floor. THEY KNOW I LIKE ASHER OHMYGOD HOW DID THEY FIGURE IT OUT. I have to talk to them ASAP.

In the meanwhile, I try my hardest to focus on class. But that seems almost impossible with what hapeened in the last 15 minutes with my cheeks flushed to the max.
