Say You Like Me

Chapter 7: So Called Best Friend

Waking up in the morning from my annoying alarm clock I pulled myself out of bed, I didn't want my mom to come and yell at me when she's going through a lot. Putting my clothes in the hamper I saw two of Ash's shirts I totally forgot he lent me one after the party and one the other night. I picked them up and threw them on my bed. I quickly hopped in the shower and got ready for school. I combed my hair leaving it down for today, putting navy blue shorts on and a white tight t-shirt.

I ran down the stairs put my worn out white converse on and looked at the clock. I still had ten minutes before I had to leave school. Surprisingly my mom was making breakfast this morning instead of skulking in her room.

"Morning Mom."

"Oh morning sweetie." She said turning around giving me a big smile. Is she okay?

"What are you making?"

"Breakfast, here." She placed bacon, eggs and toast in front of my eyes.

"Thanks mom!" I said digging into it right away. I'm not really a fan of breakfast but since my mom made it I wanted to be nice. I poured myself some orange juice and gulped it down. I kissed my mom goodbye before grabbing my bag and placing mint gum in my mouth.

Getting outside I grabbed my iPod and put on 'How to be a Heartbreaker' by Marina and the Diamonds. Looking up from my iPod I saw Ash and his brothers and I didn't want them to see me so I quickly hid behind a nearby bush, when I thought they were gone I tried to get out of the bush my it was caught on my t-shirt.

"Great!" I whisper, shouted at myself.

"Need help there?" Mt head snapped up to a grinning Ash.

"Um uh yeah." I sighed. This is so embarrassing! I took out my earphones as Ash was helping me. Once he unhooked me from the pointy bush he started to smirk at me.

"Thanks." I said trying not to make eye contact.

"Why were you in the bush anyway." He started to laugh.

"Um I." I couldn't finish my story because Ash was laughing so hard. Way to make me feel better.

"You're something Adrianna." He said trying not to laugh.

I rolled my eyes and we continued to walk to school. Finally getting to school Ash was greated by Erica of course. She ignored me and started to grab is jacket and his arms, like no stop.

"Hey Ash." She said in a flirty tone. You have to be kidding me. I looked at her and then at Ash obviously he was paying attention to her boobs falling out of her shirt and not her face! I rolled my eyes and walked away trying to find Kylie I really needed someone to talk to besides my mom about what happened this past couple of days its driving me crazy!

Finally spotting her she was laughing with those girls I could care less about to even remember their names. Should I go over? I mean they're just girls right? Just girls that's funny more like cheetahs about to make you their pray. Well I can't keep standing here like a loner. I let my feet slowly take me to them while looking down. As I approach Kylie and her new friends? I feel very awkward because the girls just stare at me.

"Um hey Kylie."

"Oh hey Adrianna." She said but she didn't look very happy to see me.

"Um can we talk?" She says out of the blue.

"Uh yeah, sure." She says pulling me a couple feet away from Molly, Taylor, and Destiny, now I remember their names!

"Um what do you want to talk about?"

"Well since we're sophomores we have two years left in this stupid school and well I think its time for us to um find who we are." She said looking nervous.
