i looked at her. she was really pretty. i looked down at ashton, then started to walk away. he surprised all of us by saying, "no thanks. i already have a partner." i smiled and turned back around. she looked down, "oh, alright," i looked and saw my brother, logan, walk into the room. i smiled, "you can be partners with him!" she smiled, "yeah, thanks!" she walked over to him, and smiled, "hi. i'm rydel." he smiled, "wow, you're gorgeous." she blushed, "thanks.. wanna be partners?" he nodded, "of course."

finally it was time for lunch. we walked to the cafeteria, and sat at our usual table. luke & leslie were holding hands, as usual. michael was trying to tell cally some lame joke, but she giggled anyway. calum & ashton were talking about the band, and katie was texting. as i sat there, alone, i began to think. why do i get butterflies when i'm around ashton? why do i smile everytime he looks at me? am i falling in love with my best friend? his voice snapped me out of my thoughts, "jess!" i looked over, "huh?" he laughed, "we gotta get a rain check on the milkshake date.. i got band practice." i was crushed, but i faked a smile, "oh.. okay." i got up, and threw my food in the trash. i walked down the hallway, and walked to the library. i sat in the chair, and looked around. why do things have to be so difficult?
