Melodies and Desires *IS BACK!*

Part 10

*Ashton*

I parked my car infront of Mother Florence Highschool. Finally I would be able to start fresh, the way I wanted. I looked around to see people running to get to their classes.

I slowly got out of my car and strolled across the parking lot. Although I wasn't used to being alone, I actually liked it. After being shown my classrooms by the head office lady, I was set to go.

My first two classes were boring to say the least. For the first time in my life, I felt lonely. I didn't know anyone here... but that's what I wanted, right? The bell for lunch rang and I slid my hood on. I grabbed my stuff and walked to my locker.

I looked around the hallways and almost missed St Vale Green, my old school. Everyone there was... well, fake. I wasn't happy about moving at first, but when I saw my girlfriend, Brittany and my best friend in MY bedroom during a party, let's just say I wasn't too happy. I cut off all ties with their group, and before I knew it, I was in my new house. My dad got a business opportunity at the local community investment company. It's not like he would care for what I wanted anyways.

Everything I used to be was shattered. Before I was an egoistical jerk who bullied people. One girl in particular- Soul. I was so caught up in being at the top of the social ladder, I forgot my own morals. My character wasn't amazing, but isn't that what highschool does to kids?

Without doubt I have changed, for the better. I'm starting off fresh and I'm more than happy to be alone rather than at St Vale Green.

I rounded the corner and someone bumped into my chest. My hood slid off, and books almost fell. I straightened myself out before looking down at this person.

A girl with light brown eyes stared up at me with shock. Her tiny freckles gave her an innocent look. Her hair was to the side and she looked to be about my age. Long story short, she was very attractive, but she looked too familiar? It's almost like I'd seen those eyes before...

"Ashton?" The girls' eyes grew wide and she took a step back. Her warmth fled from my chest. I tried to recall her.

How did she know my name? Who was she? She surely couldn't have been any of my girlfriends since they all looked the same to be honest.

"Uh... sorry, how do you know my name?" I asked while trying not to sound rude.

I studied her for a minute. I took in her figure and her style. Her face was just so familiar. Almost as if she looked like... oh no.

"You don't remember me?" She whispered while biting her bottom lip. Her face looked like she was trying to concentrate on something.

Could it really be her? The girls life I partially ruined? I narrowed my eyes and it hit me. It had to be her. Soul moved away a while back. My eyes widened.

"Are you-" Just as her name was about to come out of my mouth, a girl straddled her from behind. She spoke something to her but I wasn't paying attention. All I could think about was Soul. If this was her, then how did she change so much? How could she look so beautiful? How was I such a jerk?

The two of them turned around and started to walk away. I focused on her. Her hair, her eyes, her way of talking- everything. It was all like Soul's... but that couldn't be her! Soul was... just not attractive. I mean, yeah, I was a jerk to have done some things to her but I never imagined seeing her again.

I was blinded by the popularity and the spotlight before, but I know I changed. If that was Soul, I needed to find out. I needed to tell her how sorry I was and am. I needed her to know that I would do anything to gain her trust.
