REMINISCENT

CHAPTER SEVEN: My Squad pt 2 (EDITED)

The Continuation to it
A/N: Hey guys, this chapter was supposed to be part of chapter six but I found that chapter six was just too long and I personally don't like chapters that are too long, so I cut it into two but like at the same time just made it a chapter on its own since its about different things. So this chapter will be kinda short but some how normal? Anyway hope you enjoy

Ashley's POV
The rest of the day went by better than I expected it to go, not only for me but for Chanel too.

Apparently I came out second then Chanel third, yeah I was shocked too... Chanel?! OMFG right? Turns out she's faster than she let's on. How is someone so lazy so fast. It was a tie between her and the cheerleader. Honestly I left them just by luck, it was merely an inch apart

Anyway the day went by in a blur and it was already time to head home "hey Ashley wanna go out for frozen yogurt? " Chanel asked me once we were out of the school heading to the car park

Before I got a chance to answer she was already pulling me towards her car " I don't know Chanel" I said pulling my hand away from her grasp "I don't really feel like entering a car today" I looked down at my shoes

"Oh sorry... I'm so sorry, you had nightmares again didn't you? Oh gosh I'm such a terrible best friend" she said regrets flowing out of her mouth for pulling me without asking

"No no no, i didn't... I just-" I sighed heavily "I'm just having such a great day and maybe if I entered a car, I might have flashbacks and that will kinda ruin my good day" I finished then chewed on my bottom lip nervously

"Oh Ashy, Its okay" she said then pulled my small body to hers and I rolled my eyes at the name I hate so much

"Thanks Chanel... I gotta go" I hugged back then let go to head home

"Okay, love you and take care " she waved then jogged to her car.

I turned on my heels and walked home to drop off my bag

When I got home, i dropped my bag on the couch and walked into the kitchen where I heard mom humming to a song

"Hey, i just came to drop off my bag" I said to her once I had a bottled water at hand

"Hi sweetie, you're going already" she asked rhetorically while stirring whatever she was cooking

"I'll be back before dark mom don't worry" I replied then strutted to the door before she'd suggest--

"Ashley, maybe I should drop you off" she said turning the stove off then turned to face me

I sighed then faced her "no mom don't I'll be fine" I smiled reassuringly

"But how come you let Chanel drive you places? " she asked with a pout, at least something resembling a pout

"Mom, I don't know.. I guess she drives at a pace am comfortable with and she kinda drives like me maybe? Plus we never drive around at night" I said all unsurely "besides I don't wanna bother you so much "

"Then take your car there, it can't remain in the garage forever, you know your dad spent so much money on it and he thinks you drive it" she said turning back to the stove

"Ugh mom I will next time, bye I won't be late" I reassured her again then ran out just in case she wanted to proceed with the petty argument

...
I walked to the dance studio I worked at in less than 20 minutes and found Mrs Johnson (the owner) at the front desk where the secretary normally sat

"Oh hi sweetie ... Its been long since you came, we've all missed you around here" she chirped then got up from her seat to embrace me

"Aww Mrs J I've missed you guys too... I've just been going through some stuff" I hugged her back
