Ashton's POV

My eyes flutter open to daylight shining through the window, lighting the room. This sunlight looks so cool, almost magical. I hop out of bed and take a shower; get dressed in a T-shirt, jeans, and my converse; brush my teeth and run my hands through my hair and I'm ready to go. I grab my skateboard that's leaning against the wall next to my door and skate to school. I pick it up when I get to the stairs and then get back on it and skate through the empty halls. My phone vibrates in my pocket and I reach for it. In the moment that I'm looking at my pocket to my phone, I crash into someone. "Sorry, are you okay?" I ask before looking to see who it is. "I'm fine." A girl says. She's still standing there, looking at me. Most people I hit drop their things or trip or fall or something. Not that I run into a lot of people with my skateboard, but I kind of do. "Hello, Earth to Ashton!" She says. "What? Oh, sorry. It's just that usually if I run into someone they, ya know, fall or something." I tell her. "So? Do you want me to dramatically fall to the floor or something?" She says with an attitude. "No, whatever, who are you?" I ask. She sighs. "I'm Diana, we've only gone to the same school and had almost every single class together for years. No big deal." She says. "Sorry, I've just never noticed you before." I tell her. "Really? You bump into me all the time." She says. "Really?" I ask. "Yea, really. You're lucky we both have free period because we'd be really late to class if we had one right now." She says. "Oh shit! Band practice!" I yell. "I'm supposed to meet up with the guys to practice. See ya, later." I skate off to the band room where we practice and hang out.
