Starting New

Chapter 3

Ashton's POV:

I leave to find Michael, it's his turn. I find him towards the back of the store staring at some new girl who I'm guessing works here now since I've never seen her before. "Hey man your turn to hold up you end of the deal," I tell to Michael. He turns back to face me, "yea yea sure" is all he manages to say. He walks towards the counter and I follow along because I'm not so nervous around Mia anymore since she agreed to go out with me. "Hey Mia, Michael here has a question for you!" She turns around and stares at Michael. "Oh hey Michael, what's up?" She replies. Michael thinks for a few moments then he manages to say, " you, you know that girl you were with yesterday at the diner? Um...I was just um wondering, who she was? Is?" He's so nervous it's funny!

Michael's POV:

I was so nervous but I'm glad I got the words out. Sure I stuttered a little bit whatever. She breaks my train of thought, " oh you mean Kim? She's my best friend since we were in 1st grade together. We've known each other for ever and she move here from Chicago so we could move in together and get our own place." Wow. Chicago, she moved all the way here. Well I guess they're really really good friends for her to be able to leave her family behind and move across the world. "Yea her, um do you think she'd maybe go out with me sometimes?" I managed to ask. "Hm I don't know she's training for a big tryout so when she's not working here she's on the field but maybe if you ask her she'll find time for you." I stare blankly at Mia, training? She's an athlete, what could she be training for. "What's she training for?" I ask without even thinking about what I just said. I can Mia looks surprised I asked that too by the look on her face. She shakes it off and says, " well she plays soccer, or football if you will, and she was offered a job on the Australian women's soccer team but she needs to tryout." The women's soccer team here? I hear that's impossible to get into unless your like insanely good. Wow! She just gets more And more amazing by the second.

Mia's POV:

While Michael was processing the information I just gave him I snuck away from them and went over to Kim. "Hey guess what just happened." She stares at me for a few seconds before asking, "what?" I started smiling before finally letting her know. "Well I know for a fact Michael Clifford, aka the guy from the diner, likes you and he wants to take you out in a date! Also Ashton just asked me out on a freaking date!!!!" We both jump up and down screaming. The guys look over to us and we try to play it off but they totally just saw that. "I don't know Mia, yea I like him but will I have time for him with this tryout coming up, me practicing and then working here." She says sort of sad. "well hello your not gonna work here once your on that team dummy. Which mean yes you will have time for him and me." I say laughing at that last part. Of course she has to squeeze me I'm somewhere too, like yeah we live together but best friends need bonding time too. I can tell Kim's in deep thought so I let her think for a minute. "Alright I'll do it! Your right once this tryout of over with and whether or not I get the spot I'll definitely have time for Michael." She says smiling. I grab her hand and drag her over to counter where all four boys are now standing at.
