Chapter 14

"ASHTON!" Tony yelled as Charlie and he ran to greet me.

"Don't, guys...STOP!" but my pleas were unheard as Charlie and Tony both sandwiched me, making me squeal. I could see Tate and Will laughing in the corner of my eye. 

I pushed them away as they were giggling like little girls. Idiots.

"So, are these your new best friends?" Tony gestured towards Tate and his group.

I rolled my eyes at him, "No, Tony. You're still  my number one," I smiled as he fist pumped in the air. Then I introduced him to my new friends, "This is Tate, Will, Shwartz, Avery, Alyssa, and Zoey."

It was pointless to introduce anyone to him, though, because Tony's attention was directly pointed towards Avery. I doubt he even heard me say their names. Charlie stared at him like he was crazy and I raised an eyebrow, an idea forming in my head. 

We all started to walk inside, Tony on one side of me and Charlie on the other. I whispered my idea in Charlie's ear. Tony didn't seem to mind us excluding him from our little meeting because he was too busy watching Avery walk in front of us.

She did look awfully pretty. Her hair was up in a neat bun and she wore a yellow sundress with a green print splattered about it. I wondered if she always dressed so pretty. 

"Avery," I called out, "Come here."

She turned around and walked towards us, standing next to Tony, "Yes?" She had a bounce in her step. It wasn't surprising, though. A girl with that much energy should always look that enthusiastic.

"I just wanted you to meet my friend, Tony," I put my arm around Tony, who looked confused as to why I wasn't introducing Charlie as well. Then, as if it all just clicked, his eyes widened and he turned towards me and mouthed 'thank you' so only I could see. 

Tony turned back towards Avery, who looked as excited and as sweet as ever. For a minute, they just smiled at each other. I couldn't tell if Avery was being polite, or if she was flirting, but I took a side glance from Tony as a hint for us to leave. I grabbed Charlie's arm and dragged him, and myself, inside.

Wow, Tony, definitely not your usual type.

As soon as I opened the door, I was attacked by Owen and Tally, "ASH!" 

I wrapped my arms around them, trying to breath. I think Owen realized first that they were suffocating me and pulled himself away. Tally shortly followed.

"Owen!" I smiled, "How is Mr. Drama queen holding up?"

He rolled his eyes and put his hands on his hips, "You're just jealous you aren't this fabulous, bitches," Then he strolled towards the kitchen, leaving Tally and I laughing.

Once we caught our breaths, Tally spoke, "I'm glad to see you took my advice and invited your friend," She eyed Tate across the room. He was talking to Jake and Brianna, who were, of course, inseparable. As if he sensed us watching him, Tate looked in our direction and gave us a wink, nearly making Tally faint. She giggled and turned back towards me, "So, he is single, right?"

I started to laugh again, only to discover Tally wasn't laughing along. I gave her a confused look, "You're not serious, right? I mean, c'mon. Tate is so not your type. I mean look at him. He's so...so..." I was surprised to find I couldn't find a flaw in him. He did give the impression he was perfect. Still, I wouldn't give up that easily, "Oh, never mind him. What happened to Henry!"

Tally had admitted to me, unintentionally in the girls bathroom a couple of days ago, she did, in fact,  like Henry. Well, not exactly. She had basically said he was hot while applying more eyeliner that she didn't need.
