STORY OF MY LIFE

CHAPTER 1

ASHLIN'S POV

I am Ashlin hemsworth, 16. Well, I always expected my life to be like those typical teenage life but unfortunately it's never that good. Welcome to the story of the luckiest and the unluckiest girl on earth.

It was already half past eight and mom was busy preparing dinner. Being as excited and scared as I can get for my first day of high school I eagerly packed my bag. I changed into pajamas going down for dinner even though I prefer staying in my room. My room is in the first floor. I don't know why but I always liked to stare at those one direction posters and listening to music. I love music. Music has always been my everything since I was 14. The walls had charts hung on them which read my favorite lyrics. I don't know I have this thing with music that I can't explain. It's like Justin, Taylor and one direction are so much better in putting my feelings together in their songs and that's why I love them. The thing I like most about my room is the window. My bed is put right next to it and every day I wake up to a view of beautiful sunrise. I am not a morning person but that doesn't keep me from waking up early for my middle school.

" Honey, dinner is ready" my mom shouted from downstairs. "minute mom" I shouted back. I quickly tied my hair into a bun and ran down. "look who is here Ash" I heard my mom as I ran down. I went down and saw Isabella sitting on the couch giving me a huge smile. " oh my god Izzy!!!!" I screamed and hugged her tight. Isabella is my best friend since childhood. We grew together, we played together and we did stuff together. She lives a street away from me. We went to middle school together. She has always been there for me even though I weren't at times for her. We usually celebrate special occasions at her place. So here she is after a long trip from Amsterdam. "Ash, babe how are you? I missed you so much" she squealed. "Aww I missed you too bells. So how was your trip" we both walked to the dining table and sat down. "It was awesome, you know like meeting new people and stuff. Mom and dad enjoyed a lot too" 

Izzy grabbed a piece of apple from the table while talking. "Looks like you people had fun. Who were all there with you?" I asked as mom brought dinner for us. We helped her by arranging the dishes on the table. "Shane was with us the whole time. So you obviously know how much we would have enjoyed with him blabbering his jokes all the time" she said. I quickly blushed."oh my god Ash, don't tell me, are you –" she stopped after hearing my dad's voice. "Hello Mr.Hemsworth" she greeted dad with a smile. Izzy is always fond of my dad. I have never been that close to him like her, like they sometimes have these conversations that me and mom can never understand. Then we started our dinner "How's Shane doing? I didn't see that kid for a long time" mom started. I felt like blushing again. Don't know why this thing happens to me every time I hear his stupid name. "Yeah, he is doing good Mrs.Hemsworth" she answered. .

 I decided to ignore whatever they are talking and took a sip of water hiding my stupid smile from them. "He will be joining Roseville high by tomorrow" Izzy said. I blurted out the mouthful of water. "what happened Ashlin? Are you okay?" mom asked with a concerned face. "I am.. I am fine mom. I just got something, forget it" I somewhat managed the shock that I got through and excused myself from the dining hall. I did my dishes in the kitchen as the others continued with their talking. I heard mom starting their conversation. "you mean Shane is joining the same high school with you people?" "Yes" I can hear the cheerfulness as she answered. Is this some sort of joke? Like seriously. This is no good. I cursed myself for joining Roseville high. I am sure as hell this thing is going to get me into trouble. "That's some good news bells, he will take care of you two" dad said with a much brighter voice. Take care of us? As if I will be ever visible to his eyes, I thought. After doing my dishes I joined them and we talked about random stuffs like, us meeting new friends tomorrow and how my mom and dad met each other in their high school.

Mom insisted Izzy to sleep in our place tonight. Sleepovers are so much fun that too with Izzy, I love to have weird laughs with her and she is the one to spill all the latest gossips. She of course never said no to my mom. It was already quarter past ten. I took her upstairs to my room and we decided to sleep early that night. "Are you serious bells?" I started as she plugged in her earphones. "What are you talking about Ash?" she asked. "The thing about Shane joining our school. Is he really-?" I managed to talk normally controlling my excitement. "Yup, my aunt decided to put him in Roseville high so that I can have a watch on him. He is happy about it too. His old friends have joined Roseville high it seems" she said. "oh" was only my reply. She woke up from her bed suddenly and sat next to me with her right hand on my shoulder. She looked at my excited yet worried face and said, " I know what you're thinking Ash. I will help you out this time. so promise me you will be happy no matter what happens between you and him" I can never be sure about it because each time we plan something I am the one ending up hurting myself. I nodded with a smile. "That's my girl. Now please go back to sleep. Tomorrow is a big day for us" she said as she slid herself into the blanket. I agreed trying to sleep.

I woke up by 7 in the morning to the sound of my alarm clock. God I hate that sound because it always reminds me of my exams when I used to study in the morning. Izzy was not there so I thought she must have left earlier to her place to get ready. I looked out through the window. It was a bright day. After grabbing a towel from my closet I went to the bathroom and took a quick shower. I quickly dried my hair and wore the dress mom which mom bought me. They were actually my favorite combination. Blue jean and black top looked pretty good on me. Black kind of drives me crazy and I love to wear black. Needless to say guys look hot when they wear black, I don't know, to my eyes maybe. I wore a small tint of makeup and tied my hair into a pony tail. Here I come Roseville high. I grabbed my bag as I hurried down the stairs.

"Morning dad" I said with a smile. Dad was having his breakfast and working on his pc at the same time. I love my dad. He is the kindest and fun loving person I've ever seen. He never said no to me.People say that daughters get more attached to their fathers than their mothers. Well it is true in my case. "Morning Ashlin. You look too excited to go to high school. Well I am happy that my daughter shows so much interest in studying" he said passing the bread to me. "Yeah dad" I said. Well you can't expect me to say that Shane is the reason why I am way too excited to go to school, dad. I took a sip of juice as I whispered inside my head. I didn't see mom. Sometimes she leaves early for work and reaches home late night. I hardly see her during the weak days and this gave me and dad more time to talk with each other and share whatever we have in mind. I heard my phone beep and saw it was a text from Izzy. She texted me that she is waiting outside. " You want me drop you hon?" dad asked. "Thanks dad. But Izzy is waiting for me outside. I'll take my car" I said and took my car key. "You sure?" "Yeah dad. you gotta trust your daughter with her driving skills" I said as he laughed. "Alright Ash. I trust you. Good luck with your new school" he said. "Thanks dad. Love you" I gave a small kiss in his cheeks and stepped out.  "Love you too honey" 

I walked to my parking lot and saw Izzy waiting for me. She waved at me as I started the car. "Get in bells" I said as she gave me big smile."Girls, get out of my way" we both turned our heads out of the car and saw this guy. His car was right behind us and he horned continuously that our ears went deaf. Then I drove my car to my left and he went. We looked at him as he drove by. He looked pretty handsome with his perfect jawline. His eyes and lips defined cuteness. He wore a brown jacket above his black shirt. I love guys with quiffs and this guy had one. "Woah, looks like you've got a cool neighbor" Izzy exclaimed. "c'mon Bells, I highly doubt I'll ever see him around" I said. "Bye zayn" his mom said as she waved at her son. She looked like a women of  age 40 or so, that I assumed she should be his mom. "This is gonna be fun" Izzy said with a wicked grin on her face. I laughed at her childish behavior and drove to Roseville high.
