This Could be Love
Chapter 13
Andy’s POV
I landed softly on the ground and proceeded over the fence and back to the hall, where I had left the bags in Sandra’s locker, Ashley wasn’t too far behind. He had slowed, he was no longer waling next to me, rather behind me, like a scolded puppy with his head down, I’m sure if he had a tail he’d of tucked it between his legs and whimpered. I was walking, but at the same time trying to process what had just happened, I was trying to figure it out, but my mind just wouldn’t process it. I thought about talking to Ashley about it, but then he did look rather ashamed. He had tried to kiss me. My brain had finally realised it, although it had taken some time, I swear I hadn’t blinked for around 5minutes, I was just walking in a direct line, banging into passers-by and just not caring, cause I wasn’t feeling anything physically.
I was going over the situation over my head, what if the bell hadn’t gone? What if he had actually kissed me? Would I have shooed him away? Or , what if maybe, I had liked it? I was thinking about it, and well it wasn’t like he was bad looking. In fact quite the opposite, he was well…he was hot. I was running everything over, but there were many different endings, mostly Ashley kissing me, and the bell not going off. What was I thinking about, would I of liked it? I wasn’t too sure now, I turned back round to Ashley, who was still looking ashamed and embarrassed, I wanted to say something to show him I wasn’t angry or disappointed in him or anything, but I just….didn’t know how to put it.
I turned inside of the class block where we had first been, I held the door for Ashley and smiled at him as he walked past, he seemed to perk up more then, I could see his smile widening on his face in reply, and he had lifted his head and stopped dragging him feet along the ground. Okay so at least he knew I wasn’t angry at him. I don’t even remember last time I was in a relationship, or anyone liked me, but perhaps he didn’t want to be in a relationship with me, or didn’t even like me. Sometimes things just happen in the spur of the moment, and we were having fun and running around, maybe he just got caught up with all that? I had no idea about his feelings, but I was beginning to question my own, did I want him to kiss me? Did I think about dating him? Maybe I was getting caught up in the moment, it would probably be nothing by tomorrow…
I guess it can relate to when you discover a new band, and you must know everything, and you think they are the best and your absolutely in love with them, but then after a while they just become another band that you like. Maybe that was like this, Ashley was new, he was mysterious to me, I knew barely anything about him, he was like a new band I just heard, I was interested he had me hooked on each note, I wanted to know more. I think I was falling for this boy…his lips being so close to my own just brought out something, but it was only the first day I had known him, was love at first sight true? Was it happening? Or was it just another teenage crush? I decided to pass this one, if I felt like this again tomorrow then maybe, just maybe I was falling for Ashley.
We drew toward Sandra’s locker and I saw her leaning against the locker with her shades down, as usual it was a gift to see her eyes, those sunglasses were her favourite thing.
“took your time, I’ve been waiting here ages” Sandra began to unlock her locker
“well we were trying to be quick…”
“oh too busy up on the roof were we boys” Sandra winked, had she seen us!?
“you saw us!?” before I could ask Ashley seemed to have quickly beaten me to it.
“no…I just know what Andy is like…were you guys actually up there?” I nodded and Sandra smiled.
“BINGO! I knew you would be…but Purdy you’re coming to lessons the rest of the day with me” Sandra did know me far too well, Ashley nodded then Sandra handed us our bags.
“Break is almost over now, I suppose we should be on our ways to our next lessons, come on Ash….Bye Andy, see you in the music block.” Sandra began to walk off, with Ashley trailing behind her as he slipped his bag on.
“Bye Ashley” I gave out a smile as he turned around and waved goodbye, I wanted to go and hug him. WHAT WAS HAPPENING? What was I thinking? I couldn’t stop….it would pass….hopefully
