Say You Like Me

Chapter 15: Touchdown

Why are they coming over here! I quickly looked down I didn't want them to see my face.

"Oh look at the happy couple." I heard Danielle's voice.

"We're not a couple." I heard Ash say back almost defensive about it.

I quickly let go of his hand, his words kind of hurt I'm not going to lie. He looked down at our hands like he was sad I let go.

"Anyway, Ashy are you going to the football game tonight?" She said touching Ash's arms.

"Sure, why not." He said happily. I was kind of sad that he agreed to go. I hate Danielle and the thought of her and Ash together it makes me want to throw up.

For some reason my feet began to walk, walk away from them. I could here Ash calling my name but I ignored them. I wasn't going to stand their and be in front of girls that jumped me last night but something stopped me when I saw my mother coming out of the school.

Her eyes landed on me and started walking really fast over to me, she kind of stumbled and lost her footing but she didn't and I kind of giggled.

"Mom what are you doing here?" She got closer to me.

"Adrianna! What in the world happened to your face?!" She ignored my question. I didn't have time to answer before she went to conclusions.

"Did that boy do this to you!?" She was talking about Ash.

"What? No! No mom, I fell down some stairs at my friends house and got bruised up." I'm a terrible lair.

"Adrianna! Tell me the truth right now!"

"That's the truth mom, I promise."

"Okay but if I find out your lying your in major trouble."

"I'm not lying." I lied.

"Listen Adrianna the last couple of days I've been really lonely and want you to come back home."

"Are you crazy? I'm not coming home mom!"

"Well you can't live with your friend forever!"

"I know. I'm going to dads."

"Your what?"

"Yeah, I'm going to go to dads."

"Adrianna you can't"

"Yes I can mom besides you kicked me out, remember?"

"Adrianna I was disappointed in you, you need to come home now."

"No, I'm not doing this here, I'm going to dad's and that final."

"I have to go." I said walking past my mom.

The rest of the school day was a drag and nothing interesting happened. I walked to the parking lot after school and saw Ash leaning against his truck. I slowly walked over and gave him a small smile.

"Hey, so are you excited for tonight's football game?" I faked a smile and nodded my head. I didn't realize he wanted me to come with.

"Kay well do you want to get something to eat first?"

"Sure." I smiled. I guess it was going to be like a late lunch.

We got in his truck and drove past a couple of restaurants until we both agreed on Taco Bell. We grabbed are seats inside and Ash went to go order, he left his phone on the I wanted to check it but that would be snooping. I looked at Ash standing at the counter and looked back at his phone. I quickly flipped it over and saw that it was a text from Danielle.
