I hate waking up early. In fact, I despise it. My alarm went off with that obnoxious, blaring noise right in my ear, i ended up throwing my phone across the room denting the wall...oops. Getting up was tough, after my alarm sounded at 6 A.M. I laid there in my bed for another ten minutes. Eventually i found the energy to pick myself out of my comfy bed and drag my body to the shower. I only had time for a ten minute shower this morning since i spent the other ten in bed. I turned on the water and let it warm up while i undressed and let my hair down from its bun on my head. After a quick ten minute shower, practically a rinse, i wrapped myself in a clean towel and did the same with my hair. I unlocked the bathroom door stepped into the cool hallway then into my room silently closing the door behind me. I made my way over to my closet and picked out my black skinny jeans with rips in the knees, and an olive green fitted top with my favorite leather jacket. My shoes, as always, were my high top all black Converse. I slipped back into the bathroom in the hall and grabbed the hair dryer out from under the sink. Letting my hair down, i began to blow my hair dry. Once my hair was mostly dry i got dressed, deciding to leave my hair down in its natural waves. Slipping on a clean pair of undergarments then my jeans, shirt, and socks i was almost ready to go. Next was my face. I don't really wear makeup so i just washed y face and put on some moisturizer then did my mascara. I was ready for the day. I grabbed my backpack, jacket, and shoes from the bed and and ran down the stairs to the kitchen to make some toast for breakfast. Looking at the time i realize it was already 7:20 and i had to go if i wanted to make it to school by 7:45. I finished up breakfast and quickly put on my shoes and jacket, grabbing my car keys on the way out the door.
I pulled into the school parking lot at 7:38 and found a good parking spot. I was not looking forward to classes today, and it's only my second day! I walked to the office for the second time in two days to give my paper with all the teachers signatures to the "librarian looking lady." I walk up to the desk and read "library ladies" name tag 'Marge' damn, that even sounds like a librarians name. "Hey Marge. Here's my signatures." i say, startling her again. She lets out a tiny mouse squeak, "River, is it? would you please not come in here so loud?" I laugh a little, "sorry Marge. I didn't realize we were in the library." i whisper the last word in a mocking way. She just gives me a death glare and takes the paper from my hand, shooing me away. I was just sitting down in english when the first period bell rang.
Those next three periods went by in a blur, then it was lunch time. One minute i was walking alone to the courtyard, the next Jax and Remi were beside me. We were almost to the table we had sat at the previous day when i spotted Ashton Hunter. "I'll meet you guys at the table." i said to Jax, the turned and walked toward Ashton. "How's your nose Hunter?" i say, but after the words left my mouth i look at his nose, it's slightly swollen and purple, and blue. I must've made a face because Hunter just laughs, "relax River. I'm fine, really. its just a bruise." I'm glad he seems to find this humorous, because i don't. I actually feel terrible. "Well, again, i am so so sorry. You were just trying to return my keys and i tried to knock you out. If there's anything i can do for you let me know." I turned to walk back to the table with Jax, Remi, Logan, and Mark when a hand grabbed my wrist. i turned back around to face Ashton, "you would think you'd learn i'm not the best person to grab" i let out a small chuckle. "you know, i've been told i never learn." he smiled, and let me tell you that smile could end wars."anyway..." he continued "there is one thing you could do for me." I looked him in the eyes, curious what he would say next. And what he did say surprised me. "Will you go out with me this Friday?" My eyes wide all i could say was "why?" That might not have been the best response, but i was confused. Why would a good looking, fit, kind guy want to go out with...me? "What do you 'why'?" He laughed a bit, "you are really pretty River and i want to get to know you. You know, outside the school scene." That was a good ass response, hell ya i want to go out with him. "Ya. Okay, whatever. What will we do?" He smiled at me in a sort of mysterious way, "I guess you will just have to wait and see." He handed me his phone and i entered in my number. "I'll text you." He shouted as i walked away.
The final bell of the day rang and i couldn't be happier. Tomorrow is Wednesday, so three more damn days before my "date" with Ashton. I was pretty excited to say the least. I got in my car and drive the fifteen or so minute drive home. Once inside the house i lock the door behind me and run upstairs. I'm sitting on my bed still in my outfit from school when my phone vibrates a couple times. I pick up my phone to see a text from an unknown number.
'Hey River! It's Ashton :)'
'Hey! what's up?'
'So my friend Andy invited me to their open mic tonight, wanna come?'
'Um, sure. why not.'
'Awesome. Can't wait, send me your address. I'm picking you up'
'It's not a big deal, i can drive myself'
'No way!'
I text Ashton my address and put my phone on the charger. I decide to freshen up a bit, i sprits on some perfume and apply another layer of mascara. I hear a knock at the door, so i throw my jacket back on, grab my purse, keys and phone, and head out the door. "You look nice" Ashton says opening the passenger door. "And you are quite the gentleman huh?" I reply with a smirk. "Well of course m'lady!" He says in a joking tone. We both laugh as he pulls out of the drive way.
