-Ashley's POV-
I walk into school ready for the day and happy. But then I saw Alex Redshaw (a.k.a my annoying next door neighbor.) standing by my locker. "What do you want Alex?" I say as I approach my locker.
"You." he replies seductively.
"Ew in your dreams." I say with disgust.
"Well luckily for me, all my dreams come true." he winked. I rolled my eyes.
"Go away Alex. I need to get to my locker."
"No can do, princess." Princess? Wow he's really trying today.
"And why not?" I said annoyed.
"Because we need to talk." he replies. Is he serious? "Talk about what?" I ask confused.
"Go on a date with me." Hahaha.
"On a date? with you? Haha how about no. Go ask one of your sluts." I say.
"Yeah you're right, Ashley, I should go ask a slut. Thanks for reminding me that you're not worth my time." He replies in a bitter tone. Then Alex walks away without another word. What's even with him today anyway? Whatever, I don't care. He's not even that hot...
I reach into my locker and pull out my books. I then hurry to class before I am late. *Ding* There goes the bell right before I walk into math class. "Miss Reed, you're late." Announces Mr. Drew.
"Chill only by a couple seconds." I reply calmly.
"It still counts." Mr. Drew says.
"Whatever." I take a seat in the front next to my best friend, Elizabeth. "Hey Liz!" I whisper-shout to her. "Hey Ash!" She whisper-shouts back. "Girls, no talking!" Mr. Drew says to us. We roll our eyes. "Now class if you would please do lessons 20 and 21." I turn to the correct page and get to work. I honestly don't mind math and I'm actually pretty good at it. I actually am good at all my classes. I usually get only A's and B's. I wouldn't call myself a nerd though. I'm just relatively smart.
After 3 hours of boring school it is finally lunch time, I'm super hungry. I pay for my food and go sit at the usual table.
"Hey Liz, Hey Claire." I greet my friends.
"Hey Ash" They say simultaneously. I take a seat next to Liz and Claire.
"Ew school food is so gross." I say while flicking my mac & cheese around with my fork.
"I agree. I totally should just bring a lunch." Says Liz.
"Or we could ditch this cafeteria and go somewhere with actual good food to eat lunch from now on." Suggests Claire. Me and Liz nod.
"Good idea Claire, I am so sick of this crap." I say. Lunch time is almost over now though so I guess we'll have to tomorrow. Fine by me. *Ding* Oh there's the bell. We all pick up our food and dump it in the trash.
"Hey there sexy ladies" I hear from behind me and my friends. I look to see who it is. Ugh it's Alex again.
"Get lost loser." I tell him.
"Oh, come on, Ashley you know you want me to stick around." He says cockily. God he's annoying.
"As if." I say then walk away.
"Oh my god. Alex is so hot!" Liz gushes.
"Oh god. Not you too." I say worriedly.
"Not me too what?" she says confused.
