btw Ashton is Garrett Clayton
It's been a week since I last went into ninja form and saw the strange black and orange flash... It could have been anything, I'm probably just being paranoid from being back in Oregon. Coming back from English, Chris is talking to me but I am not really paying attention,
"Are you even listening?" he asks giving me a look of disappointment
"I'm sorry Chris, I really haven't been able to focus lately..." I say and he nods and walks away. Well I am just great at friendship aren't I...
As I am walking, the rainbow/darkness club catches up to me; Kelly is wearing pink leggings with a neon green shirt and matching head band while Beth has on a band tee and black skinnies. Her hair is a dark shade of blue though now...
"Nice hair Beth"
"Thanks I guess," she mutters with a frown, "I'm gonna take a smoke.."
She walks off and Kelly turns to me, momentarily blinding me with her bright outfit,
"Her internet boyfriend broke up with her, that's why she's down like a seaweed squid..." I nod, not understanding the last part but I go with it. I ask her if they were serious but she says they had only been together for a couple weeks. Hopefully she won't take it too hard.
We arrive in Science and the teacher begins to call out partners, Kelly ends up with Beth but I have no such luck,
"Chrissy, you get... Ashton!"
Why!!?? Out of everyone she could have chosen, why him...
He comes over and sits down close to me, trailing a finger down my arm,
"Are you ready to dissect a frog?" he whispers in what I think is his attempt at a seductive voice
I roll my eyes and smile,
"Be careful," I say in that same tone, "I have a scalpel"
He laughs at that and gets to work, writing our names at the top of the assignment sheet.
I start cutting open the frog, and unlike the other girls I don't scream like a goddamn banshee at the sight of blood. Although Ashton did seem a bit disturbed when the frog had post-mortem twitching....
Ten minutes later we are practically done and soon we hand our assignment in; she tells us we can leave. I start heading to the courtyard when he calls my name,
"I was wondering if um you want to maybe cut class with me?" His slight nervousness is kinda adorable but not enough for me to say yes.
"Nope, I'm a good girl, remember?" He frowns for a second before placing a cocky grin on his face.
"Well, I'll see you around then, you'll be begging for me the next time we cross paths" he says with a wink; someone's confidence returned...
I arrive in the little yard and sit on one of the benches, taking out my tablet. I get my daily jobs done and decide to check my skype, but no one from "the 'form" (as I have recently started calling it) is on. The only person is Matt.
Matt, the beautiful green eyed Canadian god, is on!
I face my fears and call him, he answers on the third ring and soon I am videochatting with my boss' amazingly HOT son.... He asks me about my mission, and I give him as much information I can actually give which truly isn't much. I tell him about my new friends though, and all the weird stuff that has happened to me since. He laughs when I tell him about the rainbow/darkness club, walking in on Natalia, and even sympathizes with me about Ashton's stupidity.
"Well you better tell me if he makes a move on you again, alright?" he tells me and I can't help swooning.
"Uh.. yeah of course! Well I--I gotta go, I have class soon and stuff..." It's a lie but I leave in fear of further embarrassement. Does he care about me? Maybe he's just being friendly? Ugh. Boys are confusing.

It's the end of the day when the final bell rings; Natalia and I walk out of History and go back to our dorms. On the way there, we make small talk,
"You're staying for the party tonight, right?" she asks
"What party?"
"I'm throwing a party in our dorm, all the girls and guys are invited... I have to keep my sex demon in check somehow!" she laughs, but I slightly cringe at the thought of walking in on that again...
I'm mostly pissed that she didn't tell me she was throwing a party in OUR dorm room, even if it's a friday night! What if I had plans? Not that I would considering I have the social status of a snail. I don't confront her about it though,
"Oh yeah sure, I'm coming" I reply as she walks across the room to the cabinet under the sink. She moves some cleaning supplies out of the way to reveal a full stash of what seems to be alcohol and drugs.
Lots of it.
Really? Not this again!
