Lunch in the canteen was pretty social and by that I mean awkward.
Both the girls seemed to have this crazy idea the west and I liked each other but in reality we just became 'friends'.
The whole day during my free periods, I hung out with West's friends. They were really nice and welcoming.

"How are you going home? Since you don't have a car anymore." Kate asked me as we walked towards the exit. "Going to take a bus." I replied casually. "I can drop you home if you want. Where do you live?" She asked.
"No! I am fine taking the bus, you  don't have to do me any favour..you've done enough already just by talking to me."
She looked at me in a 'are you serious?' way.

After an argument, I ended up sitting in Kate's car. How? She asked West where I lived and he obviously told her. Apparently she passes my house to get to hers so she could drop me.

The car ride wasn't as awkward as I thought it would be, Kate just played music so we didn't have to talk that much.
"Thanks for dropping me, do you want to come inside?" I asked her. "Nah! I have to head out! I'll see you tomorrow!! Bye!" She said enthusiastically and sped off. How is she so cheerful all the time?!?
The moment I entered my house I got a text from West.
(West)Tonight's plan is on right?
(Ashlyn) Yeah.
(West) see you at 1:30.
(Ashlyn) k.

The sun set early as usual. Dinner was done and after a long day's work, my mom fell asleep early.
I sat on my desk. 10pm. Project? Boring! But I have to submit it by Friday.
Opening up my laptop, I started typing down a survey.
The next thing I knew, after about an hour, I fell asleep.

Knock.
Quiet
Knock.
This time louder.
Ashlyyyyyn!!!!
Wake up!!!
I woke up to the sound at my window. Looking towards it, it was the one and only West. Duh!!
I quickly came into my senses and got up to open the window.
"I've been waiting for like 30 minutes!"
"I'm sorry...I fell a sleep."
"I could see that!"
"How are YOU wide awake!?"
"I was at a party."
"Why are you always partying!?"
"I have a small apartment with a boring roommate. What else do I do?"
"Do you even sleep anymore?"
"Oh yeah! I have a nap time planned for a week from Friday onwards." He joked. I gave him the usual 'eye roll'.
"Let's go..shall we?!"
"Yeah, let me just grab my stuff, stay here and don't move." He nodded and plopped down on my bed.
I grabbed my jacket, phone, house keys and my bag with spray paint and gloves.
"How did you get up here?" I asked him.
"A rope." He replied as if it were normal. I looked down the window.
"Can I try?" I smirked.
"Go ahead! But don't fall...how about I show you first?"
"Ok."
He grabbed the rope and slung himself down. Locking his legs  around the rope he started to climb down and then finally jumped. My house wasn't that big. It had only two floors, the ground and first. So there wasn't much distance.
I mimicked his actions though fell down hard towards the end.
"That hurt..." I said wincing.
"Let's go....we have to come back too!"
"Okay,okay!" I said getting up.
We walked towards the front of my house. Walking towards the gate, my eyes widened and West stopped in his way.
"Going somewhere?"
"To a party, problem?" I replied trying not to stutter but It was clear on my face. I was scared.
There stood Justing Worthy and Nick Johanson in front of me with a can of empty spray paint.
"Oh yeah! We do! We know you did it."
"Did what?" West said confidently. He walked up beside me.
"Spray painted my wall." Nick said.
"Yeah right!" I said 'sarcastically'.
"So if you haven't then you wouldn't mind going to the police station for a checking. If we find something you're busted."

"Well this is a nice change of scenery." West said smiling.
"It's a prison cell!!!" I said in anger.
"I was being sarcastic!!!"
Ugh!!!
