Ashton

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Running into Ashton wasn't my total plan..at least the way it happened wasn't! I was planning to meet him at the pool, the same spot I saw him yesterday, and go up to him and strike up a conversation. It didn't go as planned. After I realized he wasn't there, I told my mom I didn't feel good, and that I was going take a nap. While I was in the elevator, going to the 5th floor, I couldn't stop thinking about him. Suddenly the doors to the elevator opened and he was standing right in front of me. I was in my bikini, he was in a tank and swim shorts. As he walked in, he said "Hey."

I don't think he even realized I went to the same school, and in the same grade.

"Hey Ashton!"

He gave me a strange look as if asking how I knew his name

"It's me, Grace"

Another strange look

"Yeah, I know"

"What?"

"I know who you are, we go to school together. You are the one who always stands out and does crazy things. Not bad crazy things, different crazy things."

He said this with half a smile.

I didn't know if he meant it in a mean way, or a nice way.

"What floor?" He asked

"Oh I'm going to the pool."

I couldn't resist! Why would I go back to the hotel room, when he, my first love, was right there, right next to me, talking to me for the first time.

"Same" he said

Of course, I embarrassed myself so many times I can't even count them on my fingers and toes.

I was so embarrassed one out of a million plus times I ran away, and went up the elevator to the 5th floor running down the hall room 521, hoping he wouldn't catch up, not that he was worried. I didn't even notice if he took off after me.
