Your Average Girl

Chapter 1

Ash's P.O.V

     "Please won't you push me for the last time? Let's scream until there's nothing left! So sick of playing, I don't want this anymore! The thought of yo--"
I woke up to King For a Day blasting through my alarm clock. Such a beautiful way to start off a hideous day. I, personally, am not a morning person. But I end up finally convincing myself to get up and shower.

As I stand there with warm water cascading over my body I think. I think about where my life went wrong. I think about how I don't have friends. I think about how my parents divorced when I was four years old and I was left to a dead-beat abusive father all alone. I think about how I stopped speaking at the age of 7. I think about how I should probably start getting ready...

Once I finally get out of the shower I get dressed in a Sleeping With Sirens crop top, black high-waisted skinny jeans, black Converse, and a large black windbreaker. Then I head downstairs to get some coffee.

Once I'm downstairs I quietly go to the kitchen trying to avoid my sleeping 'father' and the beer cans scattered over the den carpeting. As I am grabbing my coffee I realize that I should be heading off to school. So that's what I do... but not before grabbing my trusty phone and earbuds.

----- Time Lapse to school -----

As I make my way through the compound I notice a girl I have never seen before. Since this is a relatively small school I know just about every one here. But this girl I have never encountered. I think she felt my eyes upon her because she quickly turned in my direction and made dead eye contact with me. Oh no.. she's getting up to walk over here. What do I do? Oh! Right, I have a notebook and pen to communicate. Duh, Ash. I quickly pulled my communication tools out before she got to me.

"Hi!" The, overly peppy, girl said to me. I just waved in response. "What's your name? My name is Madeline. Madeline Blue to be exact." I wrote down my response into my note book.

"Hello Madeline. I like your name. My name is Ash, Ash Harper."

"Ooh! I like your name. Ash.. Like what everything turns to once it's burnt.. mysterious" She said with a little eyebrow wiggle at the end.

"Interesting perspective on it. I like it."

"Thanks. I just moved here from Michigan. I really like it here in San Diego. The schools nice.. Claremont High. Nice. How do you like it here?"

"It's okay. I have nothing to compare it to considering I have lived here all my life. I don't like the school. Particularly because I get bullied. But whatever. I should get going. I have biology class to get to. But if you want I can check your time table real quick to see if I can direct you to your first class."

"Oh! Okay that would be nice. I have Geometry first by the way."

"Okay, well geometry is the first door to the left once you enter the building. I am sure others can help you find your other classes from there. But I can meet you after your gym class to escort you to music since I have it as well. Well adios" I wrote as I handed her back her time table.

"Okay! Bye Ash! I'll see you after gym!" She said and then ran into the doors of the school. I am very glad she didn't ask why I don't speak. But then again, I'm confused. Most people do ask. I guess I should actually be grateful for it...

I don't know what is with this girl but I find her very intriguing. Why is she so peppy? How the hell? I just don't get it. Well whatever. I should go to biology so I don't get a detention from Mrs.Umbridge.

This is Ash

This is Madeline
