Down By The River, By The Woods

Chapter 7.

Diana's P.O.V.

Stay cool. Breathe.

I couldn't believe what I had done! I hadn't ever made out with a boy I actually liked. Not that anyone knew about it anyways.

'Come on,' Ashton said and started to walk towards the stairs.

I followed him upstairs, walking extra carefully. Damn you, shoes! No, actually. Damn you Alex!

I hated that girl right now. I was wearing heels and a dress because of her. I'd played spin the bottle because of her. I know. Who even plays that game anymore.

Okay, maybe people do, but I don't. Oh, I really hope that kiss between Alex and Jay meant nothing. I was pretty sure Jay had a thing for Alex ever since middle school. But they were practically brother and sister if you thought about it. Disgusting right? I'd also pretty much be the third wheel if they started dating and that would not be cool. I'd probably just have to hang out with Ryan and Marcus more. Like I didn't do enough of that already.

'So....' Ashton said, snapping me back to reality. I was kind of hoping he would ask me whether Ryan would want to date him or not. Dating was something I was not good at. Too much commitment. One night things were way better. But I really liked Ashton. I think. Making out with him had been awesome. Apart from the fact that he tasted like alcohol. I mean, my knees were shaking and all. I was trying to ignore what I had felt because I'm sure 'love' isn't a thing.

'So?' I said, sounding more nervous than I anticipated. Ashton let out a nervous laugh. He was the prettiest thing ever. I giggled like a twelve year old and leaned on the balcony railing.

'You wanna hang out tomorrow? Here. At my place, if you want. We could watch Star Wars....or something else. If you want to.'

He was so nervous it was adorable. He kept rubbing his left hand in his right arm and kept moving.

'That sounds awesome!' I said. Good thing I loved The Star Wars.

'You like Star Wars?' he asked, his eyes widening.

'Are you kidding me? I love Star Wars!'

.....................

Mondays. I hate Mondays. I sat up in bed and groaned.

Last night had been awesome. After talking about Star Wars, we'd made out some more (he must have eaten a mint breath by then). Then two people came upstairs because the party had gotten way out of hand and we'd awkwardly gone back downstairs. After Ashton sent those two people back downstairs, of course. Ryan had bombarded me with questions that I refused to answer.

Apparently, Alex and Jay had (separately) left after the game. Marcus was nowhere to be seen. So was Liz, might I add. Ryan dropped me home and I found out that my parents still weren't home and Jay was asleep.

I'd just walked to my room and fallen asleep in the heels and the  dress, mostly thinking about Ashton. Not even remembering that I had a quiz today. Again. Thank god for good old Alex always reminding everyone when there was a test. I texted her back thanking her and walked towards the washroom to start my annoying Monday morning.

...............

'I failed the quiz too!' I exclaimed, and fisted Marcus as we walked towards the lockers. What would I do without him?

'That test was not hard! I took it in the third period! ' Alex said as she walked towards us. Sure it wasn't,and the sky magically turned neon yellow.

'Where's Jay?' Marcus asked.Alex just turned a bit red and shrugged.  Alex and Jay both had something together last period and they'd  been avoiding each other all day.

It was getting annoying and awkward.Alex had even skipped our daily ride together. We'd been going to school together ever since we were little, and when Jay got his license we'd pile up into his (technicalcally our...) car and go.

I had Biology. One subject I can handle. And Ashton was in the same class. And it was the last period. I couldn't wait for school to get over.
