"what do girls like to get for christmas?" corbyn asked his mother with a sigh.

"it depends on the girl." she replied leaning onto the counter to look at him. "how come? do you want to buy someone a christmas present?"

"yeah i want to buy something for ella." corbyn said. his mom nodded her head at him.

"because you like her." she said half jokingly. corbyns face blushed a deep red. he put his head in his hands and sighed.

"no," he began to say.

"yes you do!" ashley yelled from the top of the stairs. corbyn's face turned an even darker red.

"i-i do not!" corbyn yelled back.

"okay mr. how do i ask her out." ashley scoffed. corbyns eyes widened and he looked at his mom to see her jaw dropped.

"you what?!" she asked raising her voice. corbyn bite his lip and ashley giggled from the top of the stairs.

"i-i um.." corbyn stuttered as he rubbed the back of his neck. "i may, or may not have a crush on ella. but it's a tiny crush!" his mom blinked at him and crossed her arms.

"and you went to ashley about this?" she asked with a strong mom tone.
corbyn opened his mouth to say something but no words came out.

"yes he did come to me for it. why? i don't know but he did." ashley said proudly as she walked down the stairs.

"corbyn matthew, you know you can come to me for anything." their mom said angrily at first, but then it turned into a sigh.

"sorry it's just, ashley has better advice." corbyn confessed with his tone getting quieter. ashley laughed at corbyn.

"yeah, right." ashley said rolling her eyes.

"look, i just wanted to know what to get her. i didn't want this to be an 'embarrass corbyn' party." corbyn sighed.

"get her a ring." his mom suggested.

"she doesn't wear jewelry." corbyn said.

"ask her to be your girlfriend." ashley suggested.

"that would be way to soon." corbyn sighed. "as much as i,"

"then do it! i need you and ella together!" ashley begged.

"i think you should go for it." his mom said encouraging it.

"hey if you give me her number i can ask if she likes someone so." ashley suggested.

"but it could be someone else." corbyn said.

"how many friends does she have in this town?" ashley asked raising her eyebrow.

"well..." corbyn said.

"exactly. give me your phone." ashley demanded.

"what? no!" corbyn answered.

"you want a girlfriend or not?" ashley replied. corbyn hesitated before handing his phone to his sister. ashley grabbed the phone and unlocked it. she then went onto his messages and tried to find ella. "where is she?"

"let me see it." corbyn asked. ashley handed it to him and he quickly found her contact. he clicked on it and handed it back to ashley.

"wow there mister! per-" ashley began to say before corbyn cut her off.

"don't even say it." corbyn demanded.

"whatever." ashley answered pulling out her phone to copy down ellas number.

"so, when are you going to text her?" corbyn asked impatiently.

"tomorrow." ashley said with a smile. she knew she irritated corbyn because he rolled his eyes at her. "hey, at least i'm texting her!"

"true, thanks ash." corbyn said.
