>>Ashley's POV<<

I looked at all the stores that were all layed in a row, each side of the long street behind the pavement. Wondering off in thought, I admired every single twig that was intertwined, all attached to the same tree. Reaching all different lengths and creating patterned shadows above us. The warm sun hit off my bare arms that were folded as I kicked my feet, walking down the smooth pavement.

"So what about you, Ash?" Lucy smiled at me.

I looked at her. Not knowing was she was talking about, I didn't say anything.

She furrowed her eyebrows. "Have you eaten today?"

I held my breath. This was the question that I never wanted to answer. "Yes." I lied.

"What was it?"

"Toast. Why do you care anyways?"

Troian spoke. "Were you listening?" I shrugged my shoulders. "We were going to get some food."

I bit my lip. "I'm not hungry..."

Shay tutted. "Come on, let me buy you some food, maybe you'll feel better."

"Feel better?" I smirked. "What do you mean? I couldn't be better."

"Okay well, I'll just pop into that corner store and grab a packet of chips or something, you coming?" Shay offered.

"I guess."

After we all went into the corner store and Shay bought 4 packets of chips for us, we exited and carried on with our journey.

Shay passed the chips around so that we all had a packet each. I shoved mine into my bag , forgetting about them whilst everybody else muched on theirs.

"So," Lucy said. "I've been thinking about getting into writing a bit more, what do you guys think?"

Without a doubt, I nodded my head. Lucy's creativity definitely makes her an amazing writer. It's how she let's all of her experiences and emotions out, and not much people have that ability. "Go for it. You've got nothing to worry about it."

Shay agreed, strutting. "I think you'll do great."

"Yeah." Troian said.

"Thank you!" Lucy tried to hide her smile but I saw it creep onto her lips. "I had a few ideas..."

"Tell us." Troian took a chip out of her packet.

"Okay," she began. "So there's one story where this girl is confident and fearless, and basically true to herself. She meets a guy in her class, and he's  really handsome and strong. Every girl wants him. As she finally plucks up the courage to talk to him, they kiss. After a year of dating, he proposes and they start a family and so on." She swallowed. "The second one, is a story about a girl who is trying to find her way in the world, and longs to accomplish her goals of becoming a fashion designer. She's a sucker for animals and loves pizza. She meets some friends, has some parties, and just has fun until she grows. So which one do you like better?"

"I like them both," Troian smiled. "But if I had to pick...the second one."

"I think the first one is better, it'd be fun to write." Shay disagreed.

Everyone seemed to look at me as I was some sort of tie breaker. I sighed. "I guess the second one relates to you more, maybe you'd find it easier to write."

"Okay, thank you all." Lucy replied.

Shay rubbed her stomach. "Oh god, I'm still hungry. Ashley, are you sure you don't want to get food?"
