Just friends? | a.i

Chapter 1

Kate's pov.

"Should i wear this? or this?" Anna asks me.

"Hmmm. That one." I point at the pink dress.

"And what are you going to wear?"

"This." i say showing her my black crop top and skirt.

"Nice." she says in approval.

We're going to Victor's party. He's this popular kid at our school.

We drove to his house, who was only a couple blocks away.

When we got there, their was so many people.

We walked in and Victor waved at us.

"He waved at us!" Anna squeals, she kind of likes him.

"Oh god." i laugh.

We started dancing and laughing and basically having a good time.

But that's when i spotted this cutie.

"Anna look to your left, with the blue shirt." I say.

She turns her head, smiles, and nods.

"Yep he's cute but look right next to him, with the black shirt." she says.

I looked at him and he was cute but blue shirt was cuter.

"Blue shirt is cuter." I say.

"What! no." she gasps in disagreement.

"Lets go talk to them.." i say.

"Just like that, no... we can't be to obvious lets just go closer and then start a conversation." She suggests.

"Okay then." I laugh as we get a drink and get closer to where they were.

"Hey!" I say over the loud music.

"Hey! What's your name, love." Blue shirt says.

"Kate and that accent? Where's it from?" I ask.

"Australia." he says.

"Wow thats far! And what's your name, sorry." I say forgetting to ask his name.

"Ashton." Ashton says.

"So why are you in New York?" i ask.

"Well i meet Victor last year when i came here on vacation and now we moved her a week ago cause of my parents job." He says.

"Oh cool and are you coming to out school?" I ask.

"Yeah and my friends too." he says.

"Your friends moved here too?" I say.

"Yeah our parents work together." he says.

"That's cool. So who are your friends?" i ask.

"Well this is Luke." He points to black shirt, who was talking with Anna.

"That's Michael." He points to a guy with blue hair.

"His hair is blue that's so rad!" i say.

"Aha yea he dyes it like every week." Ashton says.

"Oh and that's Calum." he points.

"Cool, so where do you live?" I ask.

"I live close by the school on 68th street." he says.

"Oh my god i live there too!" i say and we both laugh.

We continued talking all night and he was so nice and sweet and funny.

I loved how he laughs all the time. Its cute.

"Hey Kate i'm going over to Luke's house. So i'll call you tomorrow okay. Bye." Anna says and hugs me.

"Who's that?" Ashton asks.

"Anna she's my best friend. She kind of found Luke hot." I giggle.

"Yeah he always gets the girls." he laughs as well.

"Really? i think he's fine like sure he's hot but not that much." i say and Ashton laughs.

"So what do you want to do?" He asks.

"I don't know. Want to come over to my place?" i ask.

"Your parents won't mind." he says.

"No my dads out of town." I say.

"And your mom?" he says.

"My parents are divorced but she's on vacation." I say.

"Oh sorry." He says.

"Its fine its been already a couple years." i say.

We get our way through the whole crowd of people and we finally get outside.

We drove to my house with my car, when we got there i parked the car.

"Wow i live right there." Ashton says pointing the house right next to mine.

"Shit that's so cool!" i say.

We walk into my house.

Its been over 3 hour me and Ashton have been talking and i really feel like i could trust him. He's so sweet, not like most of the guys i know.

"Why so many bracelets." Ashton asks.

"Cause i like them." i say even though it wasn't the reason.

"Kate... its okay, i have bracelets too." he says showing me his arm.

Did he mean what i think he meant.

"You too?" I say.

"Yeah but i've stopped cutting since awhile now." He says.

"Me too but you know what other people think." i say.

"Yeah.. but you know its okay you can talk about it if you need to." He says.

Truth is i didn't stop but i didn't want to tell him but its still been awhile since but still.

We continued talking and talking and the more we did the more i thought he was attractive by the way he spoke, by his laugh, his smile, but who would like a girl like me... A girl who is depressed and is insecure but still fakes a smile.
