Ashton

Chapter 5

Chapter 5

It's the last day on vacation and I just want to go home. Some odd reason half of me wants to stay. I really enjoyed talking to Ashton..just not about Zoey.

I can't believe school is about to start up again.

A few weeks later

As the bell rings in the new school year, I try to avoid Ashton, hoping he's not in any of my classes.

I walk in the room, and I see Ashton sitting in the desk that was in front of my assigned seat. I couldn't believe this was happening. He acted like he never talked to me, and never even met me. As almost if he was embarrassed by me because I'm a geeky chick..but look at him he's in the honors class.

Shortly after the bell rings in 5th hour , I was in the hall at my locker about to go to lunch when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turn around and to my surprise it's Zoey, I was really expecting it to be Ashton, but nope it was my worst nightmare. Just my luck she was going to start some drama on the first day of school.

"Gracie, is it?"

"It's Grace" I said with a nice tone.

"Whatever, listen up Gracie-"

"Grace", I said regretting it as it came out my mouth cutting her off

"Listen. Stay away from me and my friends this year."

I gave her a strange look as she strutted off.

I turned back to my locker, grabbed my books, not putting them in my back pack, slammed my locker, turned to walk away, when I had a collision with Ashton.

Yeah that's right we ran into each other, making my books fly everywhere.

He looked at me and said

"Grace is that you?"

"Ashton...yea the girl that was at the beach the same week you were? Yea that's me."

"Wow Grace, you changed."

"Since when Ashton...you saw my 5 weeks ago.."

" I know but it seems longer"

"Maybe you were focused too much on Zoey.." I said as I walked to the lunch room.
