Ash & Dan

Shit & Blush

"Okay, if I transfer 3x to the other side, it cancels out right." I asked Ashton.

"Yeah." at that moment her phone vibrated.

She looked at her phone and covered her face with her hands. "I'm sorry, something came up. But yeah. What were you saying, Dan?" she asked. She typed a few words and looked up at me.

"uh... what am I suppose to do here?" I asked.

"What problem?"

"Uh... number... 7."

She examined the problem for 3 seconds and said, " you don't tranfer the 3x, but first you subtract the 8 to both sides, which'll get you 75. Them after that you divide 3 to both sides and that is... 25. So x=25. Now basically you do that for the other problems and you'll get the right answer... hopefully." Ash explained.

"Pfft, nerd." I muttered.

Ashton punched me lightly on my shoulder," No I'm not.... I-I just like math. A lot. And I happen to be very good at it. And I can memorize math formulas without forgetting them." She said shyly as she blushed.

"So... a ,math nerd." I said slowly.

"Shut up........ d-d-dork. I don't know. What am I saying? " she blushed again.

" Dork? That's all you got? WOW... you're so lame." I said as we were both laughing.

"Fine, you-you..... I don't know what to call you! Help me out here!!!" she whined.

"You want me to help you, figure out a name to call me?"

"Not just any name... a rude name. I don't know... you called me a nerd. I need to think of something to call you." At that exact moment her phone vibrated again.

I went back to work as she checked her phone. "It's not fair." I heard her mumble. I looked at her and she looked at me. "Sorry, it's just... family stuff." she had a faint smile on her face.

"Stop looking at me, you shit face. " she laughed. As I felt offended.

"Shit face? Shit face. Wow, okay. So we go from nerd to shit face. Okay, I see how it is." I said as I turned my whole body around, away from her.

I felt an arm on my shoulder but I ignored it. "Dan... Danny.... Daniel. I'm sorry. That just came to me for some reason. I'm sorry for calling you a shit face. You're face looks nothing like shit. Daaaan!" she whined.

" Is everything fine here? Ashton? Daniel? Have you both finished your worksheet?" Ms. Hernandez, our algebra teacher, asked.

I looked at Ashton as she smiled. " I actually finished them about 10 minutes ago, while Daniel here, well... he's still on number 8."

I looked at our teacher as her facial expression said everything. " I know, I know, I need to finish." I said. She walked away as I went back to sitting the correct way. I looked at Ashton and then her paper.

"No, you're ignoring me. I'll let you copy... but only if you stop being mad at me." She said. I pretended to think about it, "fine... I'm only doing this because I need the answers. So, gimme the answers. Please."

"Ash... hold up. I have something important to tell you." Lucy ran up to me.

I stopped and turned around to wait for Lucy to catch up to me. "What happened? Lucy." I asked.

"It has to do with... that one guy who you like." Lucy whispered.

"What guy..." I mumbled.

Lucy rolled her eyes at me as she said," Ash, I'm you're best friend, I know you like Will."

"Pssh... Will? Don't you mean Niall Horan?" I scoffed. Had I really been that obvious to her about me liking Will?

"Well, Niall too. But with a person who actually knows you exist. Will Hassell." I opened my mouth about to deny it, but Lucy beat me to it, "and don't lie to me, because I've know since like 6th grade. But I didn't say anything just in case my predictions were wrong, but now I know they're not. Because you do like him."

I sighed," I do. But why are you talking about Will?" I asked. She had a mischievous smile on her face which meant she had gossip.

"So, Will, got transferred to my English class, and he just happened to sit next to me." I smiled wondering where this conversation was going. "Well, we we're talking... and we just so happened to start talking about you. And I shit you not he started blushing when I mentioned your name." Lucy said as she started jumping up and down. I mouth was wide open as I had no idea what to do.

"Okay, but that doesn't mean anything. Can't he just blush?" I asked as she shook her head.

"Ash, after that, I mentioned that you had been hanging out and showing around with Daniel, and he just got stiff. I asked what was wrong, and he said nothing. So I was like 'are you jealous' and he blushed even more and denied it. Then I told him how we were planning to go to the arcade this Friday with some other people, and I told he could come with his friends and he said he's going for sure, that he wouldn't miss a chance to hang out with you." She squealed and started clapping.

I felt like I was about to pass out.
