Until The End

Misjudgements

>>Ashley's POV<<

Walking down the halls without Troain was different, but good different. We had finally gotten some space from her constant talking. Each word she said would just keep smacking my head until I left her. And it would be SO loud. Like, so loud. She makes every situation in to some crime scene and always has to be right, she doesn't even have hobbies except studying, which hardly counts, so yeah. God, she is such an ass hole. Just as I thought I was beginning to be OK with her, this happens? She's just impossible, and to be honest, as soon as her and Keegan go on that 'second date' thing, he's going to get sick of her and break her sorry little heart. I might even give him a warning, you know? Just a little "kick-start..."

After third period, I saw Tro  king in my direction. I pretended not to see her but we had already made eye contact. Oh, and guess who she was with? That's right, fucking Janel. That bitch, she and I used to be friends, until, of course, something happened, I can't even remember what, but the next day in science class, she threw bleach on my arm. Bleach. I still have a scar. That psycho. Troain has a cheek to do that to me, probably on purpose, ugh. They were getting closer and closer. The sight of Janel's designer clothing and her un-scarred little arm sticking out holding her bag. I heard the sound of her heels going click-clock, click-clock getting really fucking close. I rested my head down on my books that I held. They stopped walking once they were literally two centimetres away from me, seriously. This couldn't be good.

"Excuse me," I said sternly, motioning them to get out of my way.

"Yes. Excuse you." Janel answered with a bitchy tone and she stared in to my raging little eyes with fucking anger, I thought I was going to get hypnotised.

I was confused, "What?"

Troain sighed. "Come on, J, let's get to English class."

I could tell she didn't want to be the bitch type of person, but if she didn't notice, that's in her personality.

"Wait." Janel stuck her arm out stopping Troain from going anywhere. I rolled my eyes. "If this bitch can't even look you in the eyes, then what's stopping you for punching her fat face?" she whispered to Troain, although I heard everything. Tro just looked at me briefly.

I was about to break in to a million tears. I needed them to get the hell out of my way, I wasn't risking them see me cry.

I sighed. "Just move!"

Janel turned to me and raised her eyebrows, and laughed sarcastically, and I didn't even smirk. "Why don't you move, hun? Nothing's stopping you."

I tried to move around Janel, but again, she stuck her arm out stopping me.

"Oops, except from that..." She sniggered.

"What the hell do you want, Janel?" I moaned and shouted.

"Woah, you might want to close your mouth, I can see cavities." She laughed again.

"Don't fucking flatter yourself." And with that, I managed to sneak past her. I turned around and heard Janel's terrifying laugh, but also, I saw Troian glance back at me with a guilty look on her face. I turned around and rolled my eyes.

Once the end of the school day, I walked home with Shay and Lucy. The friends who I could actually trust. I just wanted to forget about Troian for a while.

"Oh god, I have history homework, guess what the assignment is..." Shay said sounding grumpy as we walked out the school gates.

"What?" Lucy mumbled.

"I have to make a presentation on the Roman's by power point with at least five slides with information and then I have to make a poster 'explaining what information is provided in the power point.' ugh. I can not be bothered."

I had no homework so I felt bad for Shay, but it was funny.

"When's it due?" I asked.

"After the summer. At least I have a while, it's only tomorrow and then the summer holidays! Phew." She replied, with a smile.

"Wow, after next year, we're off." Lucy announced.

Then, that Alison girl that gave Shay her number came to us. I then remembered Shay telling me that she went to this school.

"Hey." She said, smiling at us.

"...Hi..." I replied awkwardly.

"Um, Shay? Can I talk to you?"

Our eyes turned on Shay.

"Uh- Sure, I guess." She said as she walked in the other direction with Alison. I longed to know what they were talking about. My eyes studied on Keegan, who was across the street from us, walking in the same direction though.

"Lucy!" I squealed, tapping her on the shoulder about a million times. "Lucy, Lucy, Lucy!"

She turned around quickly. "What?"

A smirk crawled on to my face.

"What ?"Lucy started to moan at me.

"Keegan is over there!" I screeched sounding a bit too excited.

Lucy scrunched her eyebrows. "...So? I don't want anything to do with Treegan."

I laughed a bit. "You came up with a ship name?"

"Well, not really. I was just doin' my regular stalking on instagram and I went on Troian's page and saw a selfie with her and Keegan captioned: Treegan"

I raised my eyebrows. "Gross. Anyway, Let's tell Keegan what a mistake Troian was..."

Lucy covered her mouth with her hands. "Oh my god! Ash, no! That'll just make us as bad as her."

I gave her the puppy dog eyes look. "Please? C'mon. She deserves this. She's been a bitch to us. And by the way, she was hanging out with Janel all day today."

Lucy rolled her eyes and folded her arms across her chest. "No, Ashley. You're just acting evil now."

There was a silence.

"Satan." Lucy said, soon laughing and I joined her.

"Just, please. Trust me, do you like seeing Treegan?"

"No, but - ugh, I don't like Troian, but as far as I'm concerned, you shouldn't be plotting revenge. Okay, Ash? That's just looking for trouble now." She said sounding sincere.

I thought about it. I didn't really want to get revenge, but seriously, Keegan needs a wake up call.

I sighed. "Well if you're not, I am."

"Well you're just being really fucking childish."

She surprised me, I didn't know how to respond.

"Well, I-"

"Just stop, Ashley. Stop all of this harshness and pure rudeness. Troian was a bitch to us, I could quite happily slit her throat right now, but, I'm not going to, because I'm not a silly bitch like her, okay?"

"O-okay." I said sadly.

The walk home was very awkward.

"Hey," Lucy started, "What do you think Shay and Alison were talking about?"

"Uh, I guess, it isn't my place to say..." I said trying to break the ice.

Lucy raised her eyebrows and laughed.

I didn't know what to say after that, but, I didn't feel the positive energy I usually get from Lucy. She's normally cheery and excited about everything, but all day she's been acting shady. Is it my fault? Or is she just upset from the whole Troian business? I needed coffee.

Well, well, well, Ash. Well, well well.
