Dare to be Different

5-Treehouse and Roof Jumping

Ashley POV

I wake up the next morning with a pounding headache. I curse ad then stumble out of bed and face the mirror. I grimace as I see my reflection. I quickly hop in the shower and the memories of las night come back to me. I laugh as I remember the dare I gave Alec but then stop when I remember the dare that was given to me by Hunter. 

I groan out loud and slump against the shower wall. I climb out and dry myself off and stand in front of my closet trying to decide what to wear. That moment I realized that didn't have anything to wear that was suitable for this dare. 

I rolled my eyes and just picked out a random shirt and threw on some jean shorts. It was the closest thing I could find to a decent outfit. I would just have to go shopping this weekend or something. 

I was pulling on my converse when I heard a knock on my window. I jumped and screamed in surprise and whirled around to find Hunter smirking outside my window. 

I slam my window open prepared to yell but he interrupts me by distracting me with a kiss on the cheek and climbing through the window into my bedroom. 

Still shocked from the kiss, which meant absolutely nothing, I turned around and scowled at him. "How did you get up here?" I hissed. 

He raised an eyebrow and smirked. I mentally groaned. I'll admit, he looked hot with a smirk but it was the most annoying facial expression from him by far. "I jumped," he said simply as if it was nothing. 

I looked at him incredulously. "You jumped?" He nodded. "Hunter, it is physically impossible to jump two stories up." 

"I didn't jump from the ground, duh," he rolled his eyes. 

"Then where did you jump from?" I asked my eyes wide. If he could get in now then he could get in at any time. 

"From my treehouse," he said while surveying the room. 

I frowned and gave him a confused look. The eff was he talking about? "Your treehouse? Why do you have a treehouse in my neighborhood?" 

"Correction: Our neighborhood," he said smoothly with a smirk. 

Say what? He lives here? I facepalmed and groaned out loud. "You know, I could have you moaning for a different reason, sweetheart," he smirked and wiggled his eyebrows and I slapped him on the arm. 

"Perv," I said glaring while trying not to crack a smile. 

"But I'm your perv," he said with a wink. 

I rolled my eyes and scoffed. "So where do you live?" I ask. 

"Just a house over," he answers and I frown. He rolls his eyes at my expression. "There's a tree branch that goes over the house between us and my father built me a treehouse there when I was little just so we could piss off the neighbors, we really didn't like them. To get to your house I simply just jumped from my treehouse and onto your deck and knocked on your window." 

I look at him in disbelief. "How do you get back home?" 

"I just jump onto the neighbor's roof and onto my deck and into my room," he answers while walking around my room staring at the pictures. 

"Why didn't you just do that to get here in the first place?" I asked. 

He gave me a look and smiled. "What fun would that be?" 

I swear I've never rolled my eyes as much as I have when I'm around Hunter Novell. "So, why are you here?" 

"You're skipping today. We are taking you shopping for new clothes," he  answers walking over to my bedroom door.
