The Fat Girl and The Bet

Chapter 10

Ashlyn pov~

I look at myself in the mirror that's hanging over  the sink in my bathroom. My black hair is a crazy mess and with a sigh I quickly take off my pyjamas, jump in the shower and shampoo my hair. 

The hot water is a welcoming escape from my memories of Aspen, the date , the kiss, Vincent.

In  just a few minutes I get dressed after I  hop out of the shower.  I decided to wear everything black, but managed not to look like a goth. 

As I put my makeup, mostly eyeliner and lip balm, Fluff comes in and purrs while brushing his head against my leg.

 Fluff is my "Family's" cat and he is adorable with his brown fur.

I pick Fluff up and cuddle him for a few seconds before I peck him on his head and run down the stairs to the kitchen where my mom is knocked out on the island.

"Mom" I whisper as I sigh and try to wake her up. She didn't budge. My mom is a very deep sleeper which has it's perks. 

I gave up on trying to wake her so I went inside her room and  brought down a blanket and a pillow. 

Then I grabbed an apple from the table and ate it.

As Im done with my ' Breakfast' I grab my white backpack and head towards school.

~~~~~~

I headed to my first class and sink down in a chair in the back and pull out my sketch pad. The teacher walks in and I continue on a drawing of a wolf.  

Someone threw a crumbled piece of paper to me and it landed on my desk.

I looked up in utter confusion and saw Cameron smiling at me. 

I chuckled at him and un-crumbled the piece of paper he threw at me. 

It said, "Sorry i didn't meet up with you at your locker like usual, Katie wanted to talk. :/"

I let a out a silent sigh. Cameron hangs around Katie so much, even if she belittles the shit out me. 

I look up at him put on my fakest smile I can pull and put two thumbs up. Letting him know that it was fine.

~~~

After  class I meet up with Cameron, who talks on about something maybe a sport.  Mostly like this time, I dont care about him wining the game and he knows it, but that doesn't stop him from telling  me anyways. I have this great ability to shut people out, which is very helpful.

"Hello?", I hear him say as if he's far away. He waves his hands in front of me and I return to reality and look at him.

"Sorry what did you say?" I ask him with a small smile.

He playfully glares at me. "You didn't listen at all!"

I  apologize again and he glares at me again, I listen to what he has to say this time.

" There is a rumor that..." he lowers his voice and moves closer to me, " Ms.Freeman is having an affair." 

I look at him serious face and break out laughing. "Where did you hear that from?" I say on between laughs and he eyes me weirdly. 

"Stop laughing, Its not funny, I serious. Someone told me that they heard from a safe source that she is. Apparently, the office got a letter or something telling them everything. Even pictures were included." 

I look at him with a confused face, my eyebrows furrowed. I sometimes wonder how he can live without me.

" Someone probably just made that up, and even if it would be true, Im sure its just a joke. People need to mind their business."

He looks at me, " I mean, everyone is talking about I-"

I cut him off, " Yea and that's exactly the problem." I say and flash him a smile before walking to my next class, math.

Ugh.
