A View from the Sky

ashton collins

I slowly breathed in and breathed out. it has never felt this comforting to smoke.

I was lost in my own little world of ecstasy until a voice interrupted me, "So, I'm not the only one who still smokes these huh?"

I jumped up, startled to hear someone else. And of all the people, of course it was Ashton.

"What do you want?" I muttered.

"Woah attitude" he mumbled, raising his hands in surrender , "you know you shouldnt have slapped Alex, hes gonna come after you."

I paused for a minute. "Why do you care?

He side glanced at me "Just tryna help"

"Yeah, I really don't need help. Especially from someone like you" I said throwing my cigarette onto the ground and stepping on it.

"Touché"

"And by the way, Im Ashton," he said extending his hand.

"I know who you are," I said glancing at his hand before turning my attention back to the parking lot in front of me.

"How come I've never seen you before?"

"Im new, thats why?"

Before we could talk anymore, I heard the bell ring signaling the end of class.

"Gotta go" I said, and with that I quickly walked away, feeling his eyes on my back, just like what happened that morning.
