The weekend went by faster than usual or maybe it just goes by fast for me because I don't leave my bedroom.

I flew down the stairs grabbed my favorite jacket and bag and was out the door before my mom could say anything to me that would piss me off today.

I just needed a stress free day today.

I walk into school as always.

Same old same old.
The repetition in my life is beginning to become a little much even for me.

I walk into calculus and to my surprise Ashton was already there.
No that's not what surprised me, what surprised me about the sight before my eyes was that he was reading Pride and Prejudice.

I plopped down next to Ashton still in amazement.

"Wow Ash I didn't know you were into good literature."
I said getting out my textbooks

"I have to read it for English Morello lay off."
He says glancing at the book than at me.

I just hum in response not wanting to carry on the conversation.

"And did you just call me Ash?"
He says closing the book and turning to look me in the eyes.

"No I ...didn't what are you talking ...?"
I stutter out now avoiding eye contact I only like talking to guys when I feel like I have the upper hand, I mean guys are intimidating enough let alone ones with a god like complex.
And no I may not like Ashton but I'm not going to lie he is gorgeous.

"Oh Morello are you nervous?"
He questions leaning forward a bit me obviously leaning back more.

"No ..no..n- I'm not."
I stutter out once again proving his point.
I need to work on this thing called talking to the other sex.
Cause I'm sinking fast at the moment.

"Are you sure sweetheart you're really tripping over your words there."
He chuckles shifting back
Into his seat so there is more space between us.

"Carter and Ashton can you stop talking through my lesson I'm sure what you are talking about is of less of importance." Mr. Russell stated turning around to face us.

I nodded avoiding making eye contact with everyone that turn around to face us.

"Uh yes sir .."
Ashton mumbled reopening his text book.

Class was almost over anyways we had three minutes till the bell would ring so I put everything away in my bag and started to leave heading to history.

"Morello wait!"
Someone shouted from behind me.
I already knew it was Ashton so I turned around and huffed not wanting to be late for my class on the other side of the building.

"After school you're coming over so we can work on that project"
He said staring to walk away
How can you just tell someone what to do I don't even know Ashton.

" Ashton that wasn't even a question!"
I yelled seeing him waking off into the crowd.
He was already gone and now I have plans with someone after school I don't even like.

Great.

Yea so much for a stress free day.
