Chapter 1: The Invitation
Ashton's POV:
"Ashton get your lazy ass out of bed right now! Do you really want Mrs. Timbleworthe to see your chores unattended to again!" Screamed, Danielle, my roommate. " I will personally drag you downstairs! Do you want me to do that cause I will. I will drag you by your feet down the stairs...." I couldn't take it anymore. Danny, yes that's what I call her, can just ramble on and on. I waved her off trying to get her to stop. I flipped myself over to face my annoying and loud roommate. She scowled at me. Her hands on her hips making her look like an angry housewife. I tried to supress my giggles at that thought. Apparently Danny noticed and shook her head. " I warned you..." She trailed off leaving me wondering what she meant. I felt a hand grasp my foot and pull. Leading me to tumble out of bed and onto the cold hardwood floor. " Face the wrath of Danny! Rawr!!!" She holloered stomping around in a dinosaur like manner. I burst into fits of laughter. Clutching my stomach trying to stop laughing I grabbed Danny's foot, pulling her down with me. She lay stunned sprawled on the floor. Her eyes suddenly turned on me. " Do you want to play with me little girl?!?!" She screamed. Her face tilted to the side looking very much like a mental clown. I screamed clawing at the floor trying get away from her. She pounced on me, my back hitting the floor. She straddled my waist as she looked at me with that twisted grin on her face. " Let's play!" She sang. She tickled me causing me to scream in protest in between fits of laughter. Tears ran down my face.
"I'm glad you guys are enjoying yourselves, " said a gruff voice. " but Ms.Cassar I sent you up here to wake Ms.Grimlocke and it seems you are doing more than just that." I looked up to see the old face of Mrs.Timbleworthe staring down at Danny. Her face showed many laugh lines, huge glasses concealed her kind brown eyes. She shook her head at us smiling and closed the door behind her.
Her small frame disappearing from view. Danny lay on top of me laughing.
" What are you laughing at?" I said smiling at her. She didn't answer as I pushed her off of me. I got up and grabbed a fluffy white towel as I shut the bathroom door behind me. Turning the shower on, putting the dial on hot. As I waited for the water to heat up, I examined myself in the mirror looking for imperfections. I noticed my crooked nose, from crushing it when I fell from my bike going down a huge hill. My stawberry brown hair was wavy at about elbow length. My hair was a vibrant color standing out against my pale skin. Next were my eyes which were a bright green with purple and brown flecks in them. So bright they looked like colored contacts that you would get on halloween. Okay, that may be a little bit of an exaggeration but they were really green.
"Hurry up, breakfest in 10." Said Danny. I rolled my eyes, when it was her turn to make breakfest I'd rather not eat. Her pancakes were always burnt, bacon always undercooked, and the eggs were always too runny. Danny may be my only friend, but I wasn't afraid to to tell her she had horrible cooking skills. Sighing, I turned to the steaming shower, that had fogged up the mirror. I stripped off my pajamas and was engulfed in the smell of strawberry scented shampoo and vanilla scented body wash.
