Ashtons pov:
I put on my red heat basketball jersy and nike basketball shorts. My black nike socks and my black nike shoes. I decided today I am walking down to the park to run the track. I pack a water bottle bottle and my book,The Fault In Our Stars, in my red nike jawstrap bag. I pull my hair up in a pony tail quickly before sneaking out of the house before my little brothers can notice.
I plug in my headphones into my phone and start my favorite running song... Eye Of The Tiger. I run the track two times before resting on a bench. I pull out my book and continue reading from where I left off last. I hum along to the music I had playing. Someone sits down on the other side of the bench. I dont dare to look up quiet yet. I wasnt sure who it was. I try and block them out and continue reading. "Wanna race?" A boys voice says. I look up. "Hi Trenton." I smirk. "Thanks for telling me you sat down..." I say laughing. "Well... its your fault for not looking up." He says smiling. I roll my eyes playfully. "You play?" He asks referring to my jersey and shorts. I look down. "Nah... My grandma gave me the jersey..." I say. "Oh." He nods. "I just run." I say setting my book down beside me. "So you wanna race?" I ask as a smirk appears across my face. "Yeah." He smiles. We both stand up. "Fully around once?" I ask. "Yeah." Trenton messes with his hair. "You get a head start." He says. "What? Just because im a girl your giving me a head start?" I ask looking at him. "Yea-" I glare. "I uh... no." He corrects himself. "I dont want a head start." I say smiling. "Okay." He says smirking. "Count of three." I say. "1... 2... TEA!" I yell. "I knew you were gonna do that." I laugh at his comment. "Okay... legit this time... 1...2...3!" We both start running. Tge wind sweeps my hair off my back. We remain at the same pace for a while then I smirk to myself. I fake a fall. "Ouch." I say holding my ancle. "Did you twist it?" Trenton asks. "I think so..." I say. He helps me up. "Gullible!" I tease. I start running ahead. He catches up. We both sit at the bench at the same time. "A tie?" He asks smiling. "Your acting very suprised." I say. "You cheated though." He smirks. "Whatever..." I laugh. "What are you reading?" He asks. "The Fault In Our Stars." I say handing him the book. He flips through the pages. I turn back around to put my phone in mt bag. He hands me my book. I put it in my bag as well. "Do you have a ride?" He asks. I shake my head. "Nope K walked." I say. "Same." He says. "Ill walk you home." He smirks. "Mkay." I say pulling up my socks. "You stole my socks." He pouts as he sees we have the same socks. "Nuh uhh... I bought these in the man isle at the store." I say sticking my tongue out. "The man isle?" He asks laughing. "Duhh... The man isle." I say smiling. We stand up and start walking. "Hold on." I say as I put my bag down. I take out my hair tie and let my hair down. I brush my fingers through it quickly before picking my bag up again. "Ashton!" Some one calls from behind. Trenton and I turn around. In the process Trentons hand brushes over mine. I blush slightly as I see who called my name one of my friends Trayce had my book in hand. "You dropped this." He says. I take it from his hands. "Thanks." I say smiling. "What are you guys doing?" He glances at Trenton then back to me. "I was walking her home." Trenton says quickly. Trayces face turns slightly red as he looks at me. "Yeah..." I say. He drops his skateboard. "Well... Uh. See you around." He says. "Thanks for returning my book." I call after him as he leaves. I glance nerveously at Trenton before we start walking again. "That was awkward." I mumble. "Yeah not sure why." Trenton says. Its quiet for a moment. "Cant believe you really dated him." He says. "Everyone says that." I smirk as I look up a him. "I feel so short around you." I say smiling. "Your just a short person." He smirks. "No its because your just a tall boy." I say laughing. "Psh. Bet you feel short around everybody." He laughs. "Im taller then Trayce!" I squeak. "By what? An inch!" He laughs. "Whatever." I laugh. "This is my house." I say stopping. He walks me up to my porch. "Had fun. Thanks." I say. "Me too. Hope we can hang out again soon." He says. We both pause. What now? A shake of the hands? A hug? "Your hands are huge." I say getting sidetracked. He holds up his hand smiling. "What?" He asks laughing. "Look." I say grabbing his hand and putting his up agenst mine. "Again... your just a small person." He smiles. "Were not going through that process again." I laugh. "Okay." He smirks. "Bye." I say hugging him by the side. "Oops... sorry." I hide my blush. "Its okay." He says pulling my in for a real hug. "Bye Trenton." I muffle into his shirt. He smirks. He hugs tighter. "Ouch your squishin' me!" I say laughing. "Okay ill stop." He says pulling away. I glare. "Atleast I know where you live now." He says smiling. "Stalker." I smirk. "Blah blah." He laughs. "Alright.... Talk to you later..." I say walking for my front door. "Bye." He waves.
I decide to call McKenzie because we havent talked all day. "Hey." She answers the phone. "Hi." I say. "Omg... Blake and I are ya know... offical again... and he is taking me on our second date tomorrow!" She says happily. "Ah!" I smile remebering what he said he was going to give her on the second date. The necklace. "Anyways... what have you been up to?" She asks. "Well... its the weirdest thing today." I smirk. "Tell me about it." She says. I smile thinking back on the day. "Well... This morning I walked down to the park because i was going to run the track ya know... and after i ran the track a couple of times I sat down for a break and I read my book... I saw that someone had sat next to me... He spoke and I figured out it was obviously Trenton. He challenged me to a race and it was a tie... and then blah blah time passed... He offered to walk me home-" I am interupted my McKenzie coughing. "Flirt." She tries to blend it in. "He wasnt flirting!" I say blushing. "Yes he was." She says. "Whatever... But then i dropped my book and Trayce gave it to me awkwardly... Trenton told him that he was walking me home..." I say. "He is marking his territory." She says nonchalantly. "What?" I ask laughing. "He is telling Trayce that you are his now." She says. "Ugh! Your making it sound like he likes me." I say. I would rather not mess with that subject. "You are so clueless." She states. "Gosh... let me finish!" I say laughing. "Okay." She says. "Okay... then I said that i felt short around him and he said that im a short person and i then said he is a tall person... and details... we got to my house and thats when it got a little awkward between us." I say. "Awkward how?" She asks. "Well... we didnt know how to say goodbye I explain. "This is how it went... I changed the topic by saying his hands were huge... then we compared hands." I say. "Your such a flirt." She says. "Nuh uh!" I argue. "Yes... you went with the topic of hands for an excuse to touch hands." She says. "Ugh. Whatever... we went through the 'small person' process again... and then i accidentally side hugged him... the he pulled me in for a real hug. He squished me... we both laughed... we said good bye... I called him a stalker cause he said He knew where I lived now... and then... we said goodbye finally." I finsih quickly. "FLIRTTTTTTT!" She yells.
After the phone call I lay in bed... ready for bed... I always read a little before bed. I reached for my book and opened to the page I was reading last. A small peice of paper was inbetween pages. It read...

Only one way to find out.
