HIDEAWAY [C.T.H] (Wattys 2016)

public humiliation ch. 4

Recap:

"Hey im jamilla. Whats your name?"

"Im ashton. Nice to meet you jamilla." He smiles.

The late bell rings and mr hood discusses our new project on blah blah blah x, y, and z. This is irrelevant to me.

I think i have a crush on ash. I start to doodle in my notebook. I draw hearts around ashton's name and suddenly my book is snatched from me by....

Isabella.

"Hey give that back!" I yell.

She laughs.

"What a loser. You are really pathetic." She grabs my glasses and throws them.

"Mr hood!" He turns around to the commotion.

"Leave her alone!" Ashton tells isabella.

"Aww dont be that way ash." She laughs.

"Lets read this little diary."

"Please dont!"

"I have noticed him for a while. The way he hits the drums in music class. The way he wears his bandanas. His curly hair and hot dimples. I need to know his name!" She dramatically reads from my diary.

I want to melt right now...

"I found out his name. Its--"

"Please dont say it im begging you!"

"Ashton. Oops, it slipped!" She grins and i start to cry.

Why me?

She then explains and shows my doodling and diary and mr hood is not doing anything.

Ashton probably thinks im a creep.

"Dont worry. I like you too."

"Dont like this girl! She practically threw herself at you!" She yells, throwing my diary At my face.

"No actually, you threw yourself at me." Ashton replies calmly.

"You two are both PATHETIC!" she yelled then stormed out of the classroom.

"Well...that was productive." Ashton joked.

"Hah yeah."

"So...do you want to hang out with me after school?" He asked nervously.

"I'd love to! I mean...sure." i smiled.

==》

It is dismissal time and we were walking to my car.

"So, where should we go?" I ask, getting in the driver's seat.

"Uh, there is a pizza place down the block. We could go there." Ash suggested.

--

"And then i was like, you cant do that! And it was the funniest thing!" I explain a funny time.

"Haha! Thats--hahaha! Thats impossible! You are hilarious!"

"Hah yeah. So are you done?" I ask, wrapping up the remains of my veggie pizza.

"Yeah i am. So...what now?

"We could go to my house and study? I do have to catch up on some work I-i mean if you want to--"

He cut my mindless rambling off by kissing my lips.

"Its fine. Id love to." He says, backing away from me.

Why do i feel like someone is watching us?

I turn around and...

What the actual hell??
