I had just finished school and you know it was the usual, boring, terrible, miserable, and just ugh. "hey Asher I'm going dress shopping right now for my gymnastics banquet and milo wants you to come so do you?" he shrugged. "yea sure" I nodded. "ok cool lets go" we hop into milos car and I connect my phone to Bluetooth and we blast music and singing and rapping until we get to the store. we check Dillard's first because I really want to find a two piece dress. "wait Erin do you have practice today??" milo asked. "no but I do tomorrow" he nodded "yea ok I'll take you when is it?" I looked up from all the dresses. "it's 5-9" he looked at me wide eyed and so did Asher. "4 freaking hours tomorrow?" I laughed. "it's usually longer and I'm a competitive gymnast what do you expect??" he nodded. "yea true" I found a perfect dress. it was a two piece and it had off the shoulder top that was slightly cropped and a loose short skirt. I heard Asher mumble something under his breath but I couldn't really tell. it sounded like. "that's beautiful" but I couldn't tell so I shrugged it off. I couldn't wait for gym tomorrow and see all my best friends
I get to practice the next day and I'm so excited. I see my best friends and I give them all hugs. "hey guys!!" they all smile "hey Erin!!" then my friend Bailey smirks. "so you and Asher?" I cough "um what?" my friend alyssa then speaks. "oh cmon we know you like him!" I laugh "yea ok I do" my friend laney squeals "ASHRINNNNN!!!" I stop. "really Laney?" she laughs. "yep." I see my friends older brother who's on the team. I've had a small small crush on him since I was in 5th grade. you know I don't even know why I like him still. me and him never really got a long yet these feelings for him never went away. so I like Asher and I like him a little. he has dirty blonde with bright blue eyes and he's taller then Asher and he is closer to my age he's 14 still. he Turns 15 a day before me. even though me and him like never get along ever since we've gotten older we have had more conversations and stuff and every time I sleep over at my friends house we talk a bit and we are actually kinda friends now. I know he will never like me so that's why I'm confused on why these feelings are still here. throughout my practice, me and him talk a lot and we get along now lol. we talked about school and life and then at around 7:15 Asher comes walking in. he sees me talking with him and I could see the hurt in his eyes. my practice ends at 9 and the boys ends at 7:30 so at 9 he's still waiting there for his little sister. (I don't know what to name him so he will be uh kaden) "bye Kaden! see you tomorrow?" he nodded. "yep bye Erin see you!" I could tell Asher got jealous by this so he runs up and hugs me and says "ERIN!! I
MISSED YOUUUU" I laugh awkwardly because he's made a scene and people were looking. "uh ash it's been like 5 hours." he shrugged. "whatever!" he hugs me again and as we walk out the door Kaden looks a little hurt. I shoot him an I'm sorry look and mouth bye see you tomorrow to him. he smiles in return. "so who's what boy?" Asher asked. "oh that's Kaden my friends older brother." Asher smirked "so you like him?" I nod a bit. "yea a little" I blush. Asher wasn't expecting this answer so he looks down and we go into his moms car and they drop me off at home "bye ash I'll text you" he just nodded and turned away. ouch. he's jealous of kaden and I've gotta clear things up for him now. oof.
