Say You Like Me

Chapter 24: What Now

While we were sitting in the grassy area I noticed that in the distance there was a mini concert going on. Some local bands were playing.

"Ash can we go check it out?" I said with some excitement. I love music.

"Yeah why not?" He said getting up and then helping me up.

We walked to the concert area with his arm around my shoulders and my arm around his waist. A lot of teenagers were there standing up and dancing to the bands music. They were actually really good. They also had food trucks and little stands you could buy things at. It was like a mini street fair. We walked getting lemonade to sip on and looked at what some of the stands were selling. Finishing our drinks I noticed a new band had come on stage and they were playing covers.

"Ohhh Ash can we please go dance?"

"This isn't the type of music I even like to dance to." He said in a 'are you serious' tone.

"Please, pretty please with a cherry on top?" I said with pouting my lip.

"Ugh fine, only for you but if anyone from school sees this you're in trouble!" I laughed at that and pulled him to where everyone was dancing. The band starting playing 'What Now' by Rihanna and everyone started getting excited. Yes it's kind of a slow song but has such a cool beat. Everyone was waving their hands in the air and looking around at all the lights, the people, the stars this is the kind of stuff I live for.

Everyone was singing along smiling and having a great time. I could see Ash staring at me every once in a awhile but I acted like I didn't notice. He was smiling as I sang to the song with everyone else.

We noticed it was getting a little late and we have school in the morning. Ash drove us back to his house and as soon as we entered his room we decided to go straight to bed. I fell asleep with Ash running his fingers through my hair.

It is finally getting cold in California meaning all the great holidays are coming up like Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. I hope it doesn't go by to fast because I'm not ready for the school year to end. I'm dreading moving to New York.

"You ready?" Ash came into the room as I finished putting on lip gloss.

"Yeah, lets go." We hopped into Ash's truck getting Starbucks before school since I was really wanting it this morning.

I played some calming music for the car ride. Even though I'm super tired in the morning I can never it enough of the way the morning sun looks. I love that when its super chilly outside the sun can still give you a little warmth and it's so pretty. I also like the smell outside in the morning cold for some strange reason.

When we got to the Starbucks drive thru I order a white mocha frappuccino and Ash order a ice coffee. Yes getting cold drinks in the cold is not a good idea but its so good I can't help it. I'll be more cold than I already am by first period.

Getting to school it almost felt like we got there late since so many people were here as well. Usually I come super early the school is almost empty. Must be the nerd in me. Ash opened the car door for me and we both walked into the school. I guess since we got here kind of late more people are knowing of our relationship status and couldn't keep their eyes off of us as Ash walked me to my first class. We were right on time because the bell rung a second after and he kissed me on the check before he walked to class himself.
