Hey guys!! This chapter is in Ariana's p.o.v.
It's on the day Ashlyn broke Justin's hand.

Ariana's P.o.v.
-----------------------
"Is that a challenge?" Ashlyn asked West.
Oh no!
The next thing we knew, she put her palm on Justin's elbow and pulled his arm back.
Oh great! She broke his arm.
It took me a while to react considering the fact that I have never seen her this angry.

Things happened so fast that I couldn't tell what happened.
Ashlyn was taken to the Dean's office, all of us were told to continue with our classes.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

I looked at my watch. 10:30 pm.
They should be here by now.
West invited all of us to a party and I am hoping ash would be there because she hasn't been  picking up her phone or answering any of my messages.
Plus I needed an escape from my house, my aunt Meridith had come over and she hated me since the day I was brought home.

I heard a loud horn and rushed out of the door.
"Hey!" I said sitting into the car.
"Has anyone heard from ash?"
"Nope...but West has gone down to her place..." Myles tells me.
"I just hope she is fine"
"She will be"

••••••••••••••••••••

The loud music helped us identify the house. I couldn't help but think of all the wrong things happening,. Ashlyn broke a person's arm and my aunt Meridith only talked to me when she wanted to insult me. Life couldn't be better!

Walking into the crowd, I noticed a few people from our own college who had a few classes with me here and there.
"Who's up for a drink!?" Kate shouted over the loud music.
Allison and I gave out a loud 'me!' and we followed Kate to the bar.  It way quieter there.
"Hey!" The guuy behind the bar table said.
"Hey..." I said.
"I am James. The host." He said.
"Oh! I am Ariana, I'm here with West."
"Nice to meet you! Want a drink?"
"Yeah."
While I was have a hearty conversation with James, Kate and Ally had left.
The conversation kept growing, we laughed a lot. We even exchanged numbers.
"Hey, what are you doing tomorrow?"
"Nothing much."
"So do you want to go out on a date with me?"
Wow! That went up fast.
Yes? No? I don't know him that well. Then again what's the harm, it's just a date! 
"Umm, sure.." I replied.
"I'll text you!" He said getting up and leaving.

We all left the party pretty early and decided to just go out somewhere for a drive.
"This guy asked me out today..." I told them.
Everyone's ears perked up.
"Who?" Finally Myles asked.
"The host of the party, James."
"Way to go Ana!!"
"Anyways where are we going?" Allison asked.
"Let's go to those hills..." Kate said referring to the one's near our college.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

The next day, Ashlyn finally called me back at 6 in the evening.
James messaged me in the morning to reach this restaurant by 8. He couldn't pick me up because he had some work and would reach there directly.
Ashlyn went crazy when she heard that I was going on a date and immediately asked me to come over since she was grounded.
We caught up on what happened the previous day and then got ready for my date.
Opening my phone, everyone was chatting on the group chat.
Ariana: I am off to my date!
Kate: yay!
Allison: ;)
Myles: so where is he taking you anyways?
Ariana: The bistro on 7th Street.
Zeek: fancy!

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"Table for 2 please. " I said and the lady guided me to a table.
I thanked her and waited.
In a few minutes, I was given a menu.
"Would you like to order?" A person came up to me and asked.
I told him that I was waiting for someone and he left.
20 minutes passed and he didn't come. I picked up my phone and called him. Line busy.
He must be busy somewhere. I gave him a few texts but he didn't reply.
40 minutes passed. His phone was switched off. I was going crazy inside.
I could feel people's eyes on me. The were looking at me with pity.
I wasn't sure if I was sad or angry.
Suddenly, someone kissed my cheek and said, "sorry honey, you know the traffic!"
It wasn't James. It was Myles.
"Just play along...." He whispered to me.
"Oh it's ok, but ysince you're late, you're paying" I said with a wink.
And with that, Myles turned it from the worst date to the best date ever.

While walking out of the bistro,
"Thanks..." I said to him.
"That's what friends are for." He said smiling.
"How can I repay you?"
"You don't have to..."
"But I want to.."
"Then, go on a real date with me sometime." He said and sat inside the car, leaving butterflies in my stomach.
