A Diamond In The Rough

Chapter two

Ash's POV

Two

"Can I...can I eat now...?" I asked after my screaming and everything else piped down. My parents laughed before nodding and I happily ate my gigantic meal.

When we got home from breakfast, I automatically took out my phone and called Kait and she picked up after only a few rings. "Yo?" She said and I almost laughed at how tired she sounded. Did I mention it was now like noon? Well, it was.

"You will never know what just happened." I shouted, not even caring that practically the whole human population heard me. I was excited and when I'm excited, I get super fucking loud.

"Hm?" She asked groggily.

"I GOT INVITED TO MAGCON!" I screamed and started doing this weird happy dance that I have never done before. Ever.

"No way!" She shouted back and I could almost hear the smile on her face. "When'd you find out?!"

"This morning! I leave in a few days for 2 months! Oh my god I can't believe I'm going!" I shouted and stopped my stupid dance. "Fuck, I need to pack. And film a video. And vine. And hangout with you. And call Matt. And chill with the fam. Fuck!" I shouted, listing off things I had to do in the two day span I had before my flight.

"Well, you and I can hang today and we can go to the mall and you get some cute clothes to pack. Then, I'll help you pack and we can do a collab video together!" She exclaimed happily. Yes, Kait does have a YouTube channel and we always collab together. My fans and her fans love it.

"Brilliant! Come over right now!" I shouted and hung up. Oops I forgot to say goodbye...oh well! Running down the stairs, I saw my dad scrolling through his phone. "Hey dad, can Kait come over and can we go to the mall?" I asked and he nodded absent minded. Well that was easy.

I went to my room and touched up my makeup when there was a knock on the door. Kait is like family to us so someone answered the door and she just made her way to my room with no questions. "Ya ready?" I asked and turned to Kait who was wearing a Vans sweatshirt, black skinnies, and converse.

Grabbing my usual bag, we headed off. Since Kait was seventeen, she had her license and she drove us to the mall. The mall was fairly big and was packed meaning we had to get a parking spot three miles away from the entrance. And two lazy girls do not like walking long distances!

Once we finally made it to the entrance, it was mobbed and absolutely insane. People everywhere, kids screaming, the whole place was berserk. Managing to get to Hot Topic, I knew it was a bad idea. Not going to the mall, me in Hot Topic because I want everything in there and it gets kind of hectic when I want everything in sight because I would blow all of my money on the whole store if I could. Kait and I automatically made our way to the shirt designs and I pretty much wanted every single one. "Alright, I can get three shirts, a beanie, and a pack of bracelets." I thought to myself. Seeing a deciding upon a Sleeping With Sirens shirt, a Blink 182 shirt, and a Pierce The Veil shirt, I got a beanie and a pack of bracelets. Once we paid, we went to Forever 21, Deliah's, Deb, Wet Seal, Vans, Journeys, Tilly's, and Zumiez, before deciding that it was late and we still had to film a video. Plus time for editing and that is the longest procedure.

Once we had gotten back to my house, I dropped my bags on my bed, grabbed my invitation letter, and got my camera and set it up on the tripod before sitting on the carpeted floor. Kait copied my actions and we began my video. "Hey guys, it's Ashley! Today's Sunday Funday so that means another video!" I exclaimed and waved my arms in every which way. "Today, I am joined with the oh-so fantastic, Kaitlyn!"

"Hey guys!" She smiled and waved to the camera. Putting my letter into view, I made an excited face in the background.

"Can you guess what this is." I said and pulled the letter back, but kept it in my grasp. "No? Okay, I'll tell you lovely people." I smiled and paused for dramatic effect. "This year. 2014. I, Ashley Thompson. AM GOING TO MAGCON!" I screamed and stopped recording there. Starting up again, I put a calmer happy face and beamed at the camera. "And in rejoicing of this news, I tweeted earlier for you guys to send in some questions for Kait and I and now, I present to you; Ask Ashley!"

Pulling out my phone, I had selected a handful of questions on the ride home that we were going to answer. "Okay, so. 'Ashley, would you rather not eat for two days or get stabbed'." Looking up from my phone, I showed a blank expression before looking at Kait. "Kait, better call an ambulance 'cause I'm about to get stabbed."

And so it went on like that for almost an hour and a half, but we finally finished recording and I was now sitting on my bed in my pajamas editing. Kait had gone home a few minutes ago and I wasted no time in changing for bed; seeing as it was already eleven o'clock at night. Like, damn time, slow down!

Another three hours later, I was done editing and my video was posted an hour ago and I was now reading through the comments on YouTube and my mentions on twitter. My supporters are literally the best, like, I have no idea what I would do if I didn't have them. As I was reading a paragraph that was commented on my video, my phone buzzed. I had an incoming call from 'Espinosa' with a blue heart beside it. It was Matt.

Swiping to accept the call, a big smile broke out onto my face. "What's goin' on Matt?" I laughed and continued reading through the comments like I was before the call.

"Nothing much, Ash." He chuckled back and I groaned. I despise it when people call me Ash. It sounds like the debris from a cigarette. Not to mention some people often call me Trash and it irks my soul.

"You know how much I hate it when you call me that." I groan and I hear Matt laugh even louder.

"Exactly, that's why I called you it!" He exclaimed and continued laughing. Would it sound weird if I said that I love his laugh? Because I do.

"So, what's up?" I giggled and exited out of all of my tabs so I could focus on my phone call.

"Well, I finished filming a new video and I'm about to edit it, how 'bout yourself, gorgeous?" This is the usual Matt. He always compliments people, but yet I couldn't help but let my cheeks flare up.

"Well, I was scrolling through some mentions, but this dorky kid called me." I joked and heard him gasp through the speaker.

"Thompson, are you talking about me?" He seemed shocked and that only made me laugh.

"Maybe I am, maybe I'm not." I laughed and he did as well. I swear, this kid has me laughing all the time. "Oh! Guess what!" I exclaimed, nearly forgetting the reason why I needed to talk to him in the first place.

"You got invited to MagCon?" You could literally hear him smirking. I huffed and frowned, although he wouldn't be able to see my facial expression.

"How'd you know?" I groaned and laid back on my bed and got under the covers.

"You said it in your video, idiot." He laughed as well as I did. I completely had forgotten that...

Matt and I ended up talking until four in the morning talking about useless things such as twitter, shoe brands, the color green, monkeys; everything. And the other thing is, I was completely entertained. Because there is never a dull moment with Matthew Espinosa.

He's probably the funniest guy I ever met he had me laughing nonstop the whole night. I can already feel that me and him, are going to be close friends.
