When I returned home, it was around 7, and growing dark. My mother was already on my ass before I could even let out a breath. "Ashley, what the fuck?" She has my report card in her hands on her hips. A crude frown upon her face.

I rolled my eyes. "What."

"Were you even going to tell me you were going out after school? It's seven o'clock and I haven't heard a word from you all day."

"Sorry, I forgot. Sorry my world doesn't center around you." It centers around Brendon.

"I don't appreciate it," she says grimly.

"Appreciate what?"

"Your teenage, know-it-all, attitude." She sighs. I roll my eyes again.

"Okay mom, I'm sorry. I'm gonna go to bed now." I say to please her and she drops the subject, letting me go. I go upstairs and into my room. My bag plops down on the carpeted floor and I lay out on my bed on my stomach and grab my phone out of my jacket pocket.

I scrolled through my Instagram absentmindedly while thinking of Brendon. I wondered what he was doing right now. I wonder if he was thinking of me too. I saw I had a notification. @brendonurie started following you.

I immediately pressed on his profile but unfortunately he was private. Then I knew he had to have looked at my profile and I grew self conscious about what I had posted and went to my account. I didn't let a lot of people follow me. Mostly people I didn't know personally. I can't stand people from my school.

My most recent was a photo of me in my bikini this morning, and Brendon had liked it, making me scream inside. I decide to text him just to have an excuse to talk to him. "my mom almost bit my head off lol."

I switched back to Instagram and his text flashed across the top of my screen. "What happened?"

I pulled it down and texted him back. "I didn't tell her I was 'going out after school' and she was mad."

"Oh well, sorry. Next time we'll be more careful. (;" my heart fluttered at the fact that there will be a next time, according to Brendon. I sat up in bed and began to pull my clothes off to get in the shower.

He doubled texted me, "what are you doing?" I smirked and texted back that I was getting in the shower. I stepped into my bathroom with a towel around my body and turned the water on.

"Getting in the shower," I saw the three typing dots immediately and stood there waiting for him to text back while the water heated up. I swear it took like 5 minutes for him to type something so I was expecting something big. But all it was was "oh fun," I could tell he deleted whatever he said and it made me mad. I rolled my eyes and got in the shower.
