Sarah POV:

I walk into the break room and see Tony making himself a cup of coffee.

"Hey you'll never guess what I just found out."

"What?" He takes a seat at the table.

"Guess who's Leila crush?"

"Channing Tatum?"

"No."

"Bradley Cooper?"

"No."

"Matt Damon?"

"No. Stop talking now." I massage my temples.

"You said guess."

"No Mr. Johnson is her crush."

Tony spits out his coffee and look at me like a deer in head lights. "What, she has a crush on Mr. Johnson?"

"Well his was her high school crush, but I know she stills have a thing for him."

"Okay?" I roll my eyes at Tony. He seriously don't see where I'm going with this.

"I want to hook them up together."

Tony looks at me confused. "I thought you said Mr. Johnson was yours?"

"No I said he was my baby daddy." I corrected him.

"I did you find this out?" She cleans himself up.

"She told me after she had her one on one time with him."

I know Leila is still crazy about him. Whether she wants to admit it or not.

"Why are we hooking her up for?"

""Because we are her best friends and she's never had a boyfriend before, poor girl has never even been kissed. "

"Not everybody is as desperate as you." I hit him in the arm.

"Ouch! Would you stop hitting me in my arms. I still have a bruise from last time."

"Right after you agree to help me set the up."

I wait for him to give me an answer.

He lets out a big sigh. "Okay I'll help, but only on one condition?"

I shrug my shoulders" What?"

"I  want you to hook me up with your mom." He says with a smirk on his face.

I give him a death glare and punch him in the arm.

Leila POV:

I run to the grocery store to pick up a few ingredients. My and dad are going out of town for the weekend for their wedding anniversary. My mom asked me did I want to tag along,  but I said no.

 My parents deserve some alone time and so do I. 

Once I have all my ingredients I make my way to the check out center.

while I'm in line I see that the cashier at looks familiar. I look really hard at them and see that's it's somebody I did not want to see.

Ashley.

What is Ashley doing working here? She always made fun of people that worked here. 

When I'm  next in line I decide to keep my head down. Maybe she won't notice me.

"Brace face?" I hear her say.

Dang it. She uses my high school nickname. 

"Um yeah."  I look up at her.

"I'm sorry I mean Leila. How have you been?"

What?

"Um I've been good. What about you?" I ask her as she's ringing up my groceries.

"I'm alright." I give her a nod. "I bet your wondering what I'm doing here uh?"

"It's really none of my business."

"Well I was engaged to a guy I met in college but he ended it four weeks ago so I movie back here to Washington. Then my father said he's not taking care of me anymore and kick me out." She takes a derpep breathe. " I'm  actually living with a friend from high school now."

Wow.

"I'm sorry." I say to her.

"Don't be, if anybody should be apologizing it's me. I finally realized why everybody hated me so much. It was my attitude, but I've changed now."

I give her a smile. " I see that.

"I'm really sorry Leila for the way I've treated you."

"I forgive you Ashley."

She lets out a breather out fresh air. "Thank you so much, you have no idea how much that means to me."

I grab my groceries and put them back in my cart. "Well I'll see you around."

"Yeah." She waves goodbye to me.

Wow. I never thought I see the day Ashley Jenkins apologize.




I wrote Mr. Johnson and Sarah's POV's and Ashley is now a nice girl.
