Celebration Party

I enter my house which is full of people. Everyone begins cheering and clapping as I walk pass.

"Good job out there sir." Franklin compliments.
"Thanks man," I reply.

Wow it's really loud in here. The music is blasting. Wait, is that a DJ? No way. Everyone is dancing, playing playstation, drinking and so forth. I wonder if anyone brought alcohol. My parents would kill me.

Suddenly, Ashley's puppy runs through my legs. Ashley, who was probably chasing after him, came straight for me. She knocks me down on my couch while landing on top of my lap.
"Hi." I say with a smirk.
"We gotta stop meeting like this." she laughs lifting her head from my chest. God, I love her laugh. Woah. What was that?!

"Great game today! You were definitely above average this time." she says.
"Above average? Are you kidding me? I saved the game." I say defensively.
"Nah. That was just luck buddy." she says while ruffling my hair and getting off me. She walks into the crowd and gives me one more glance over her shoulder before she disappears from sight.

"Conor, she just owned you." I turn around to see Liam laughing his ass off.
"You see this fist over here....it wants to say hello to your face." I say rolling my eyes.
"Damn. Anyway, when you gonna make a move." he says while doing that weird eyebrow thing he does.
"Dude no. Ashley is my best friend. I don't like her like that."
I say.
"Come on. Just admit you like her. It's not the end of the world." he complains.
"Trust me. Ashley wouldn't even like me like that."I say trying to make a point while standing up.
"Okay. So you like her but you scared she don't like you." he says, following me into the crowd.
"Ye...no! What don't you get?! I don't like Ashley." I say while smiling for some odd reason.

"Conor. If you don't like her, then why do you spend so much time with her? Why do let her hold and jump on you while other girls can't? Why do you let her win while gaming? Why do you stare at her like no ones watching? Why do try to impress her? And oh, most important! Why do you always smile when you say her name?" he asks, smirking because he knows he has cornered me.

"Well Ashley is...." I tried to explain but I started smiling.  There's no way I like my best friend.

"You crazy." I say changing the topic.
"Whatever.  Don't say I didn't try. Anyway, if you ain't gonna make a move then I will." he says while walking further into the crowd.

That statement caught me off guard.

I walk outside to get some air and find that my backyard is filled with more people. It's like the whole school is here. Even my pool has people in it. Suddenly, I get pushed straight into my pool. Damnit! I think my phone was in my pocket. I swim to the surface, only to see Ashley is the culprit. the

"Ashley! What's wrong with you? I had my phone in my pocket." I shout at her but she too busy laughing.

"I'm sorry Conor but I thought it would a good idea because I'm leaving the party early. I needed to make a fancy exit." she laughs.

"Oh and by the way. Here's your phone" she adds,leaving it on table and waving goodbye.

I jump out and scream after her, "I'm so gonna get you back Ash!"

"We'll see!" she glances back with her elegance, while Clash follows behind her.

Ashley POV

"Clash! Get back here." I shout as I walk home. I'm replaying what happened today. Well just before the celebration party, Lexi told me what's worrying her. And I was completely shocked.

Flashback...

"Lexi! Hey! Are you heading to the party?" I asked as I catch up with her.

"Ashley! Yeah I'll walk with you." she answers.

As we walk I quickly ask her, "I got to ask you this! Who are you going with to the Dance.... since you don't wanna go with your bestie."

"Oh well....you see....um....ummmm....." she mumbles nervously, while blushing.

"Are you blushing?" I laugh, and she covers her cheeks.

"No." she adds while playing with her hair.

"I've never seen you this nervous since....well I've never seen you nervous ever," I say.

"Well, I really like this guy, okay. But I don't think he likes me back so-" but I cut her off.

"What! You are an amazing person inside and out. Any guy that would want you is crazy..... or taken." she laughs at my last statement.

"Thanks Ashley but I'm not sure about this guy-"

"Then tell me who he is?"

"Okay. It's Conor." she quickly says.

"Conor? Wow. Well when you gonna ask him?" I say trying not to worry.

"So you're fine with this? " She asks with disbelief.

"Seriously. Of course." I say.

"Well small problem. I'm too scared to ask him." she says looking down.

"Do you want me to ask him?" I say quickly, trying to get away from this subject.

"You would do that for?" she asks smiling grateful.

"What are best friends for?" I say putting my hand on her shoulder.

End of Flashback...

I sigh. I catch up to Clash. I'm so glad I found him. Clash always seems to brighten my mood. He's like a mini Conor. Cute and lively. Wow, I just called my best friend cute.

As I walk on the sidewalk, in the middle of the night, I hear footsteps behind me. Great! I could die tonight. I start to jog, with Clash at my side. Then the footsteps behind me also increased their speed.

I quickly made a turn and hid behind a tree.
Am I being followed?

How do you like it? What do you think of Lexi.
