Ashleigh's P.O.V
I woke up to the sound of my screeching alarm clock. How I love the time of starting hours at high school, note the sarcasm. It still felt weird not waking up in the care home and hearing all the different children's voices, booming through my old bedroom. Even though I've been living with my best friend, Jas for at least five months now.
I managed to pry myself out of bed and I got up. I looked at my alarm clock and noticed that the time was 8:20am. Crap. School starts at 8:40, which means I only have ten minutes to get ready because it takes five minutes to get there. I put on a flowery crop top and shorts and ran into the kitchen. Luckily, Jas was all ready and she had made me some pancakes. I thanked her and picked up the pancakes, shoving them down my throat while I tied the laces on my peach converse.
I picked up my bag and dropped my iPhone into it. Jas walked out of the apartment and I followed, locking the door behind us. Fortunately our apartment was on the ground floor so we didn't have to waste all our energy on a few flights of stairs. We walked down the steps and out into Peterborough Road. There, parked at the side of the road was Jas' red Fiat 500.
Jasmine's P.O.V
When Ashleigh got in the car I could already tell she was in a rush.
"You OK?" I asked, she sighed deeply and smiled at me.
"Yeah"
When we arrived at school I parked the car up around the back and we made our way towards the entrance. We was walking towards the reception to sign in when we heard our names.
"Ashleigh, Jasmine, wait up!" We turned around to see Brooke Evans sauntering towards us with her little four girl crew. Brooke is one of the most popular girls in our year and everyone loves her, but she's not as sweet as she makes out. We tried to walk away and avoid being bombarded by her over-the-top comments, but she soon caught up with us.
"God. I just wanted to give you a flyer." She spat as she threw two small cards at us. Ashleigh rolled her eyes and held up the paper.
"Bye!" She forced a smile and headed back to the hall.
Ashleigh's P.O.V
At lunch I was queueing up for some food when I got a text.
Hey gurlll, come quick to the bulletin board I want to show you something !xxx ~ Jas
I quickly texted back
Okay I'll be there in a minute ;)xxx ~ Ash
I grabbed two double cheeseburgers from the buffet table and headed towards reception. When I got to the notice board I saw Jas standing on her own. She had her back to me so I took the advantage to go up and scare her. I tiptoed towards her and put my hands over her eyes.
"Get in the van" I whispered. She screamed bloody murder. She turned around in shock and saw it was me. By this point I couldn't hold it in any longer and I burst out laughing. I stared up at my best friend, squinting through the tears of laughter as I watched her face turn bright red in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry Jas" I said as I tried to stop giggling.
"Jesus Christ you scared me to death you idiot!" She sighed as she hit me on the arm gently. I chuckled and asked her what she wanted to show me. She pointed to a poster on the bulletin board as her grin widened.
"Well, look at this, there's a competition to design your own clothes and model them. This is what we've always wante to do!" I grinned widely and practically screamed my reply to her
"oh my god. This is great! Pass me a pen and I'll write our names down."
Just as I had finished writing down our names on the sign up form, we heard the sound of heels clicking off the floor getting closer and closer. Brooke.
"Hey girls!" She smiled sarcastically, throwing herself all over the notice board.
"Are you signing up for the competition?" She raised her eyebrows at us.
"Yeah" Jas replied
"Well I've got half of our year already rooting for me to win, and the prize is a work opportunity at a local design studio, which has my name written all over it. but good luck It's the taking part that counts right?"
