More Than Friends

Chapter 1

My eyes shot open as I felt someone jumping up and down my bed.

"Ashley! Ashley! Wake up! It's our first day of school today!" I looked up and saw my little brother, Jeremiah, smiling widely at me. How is he so happy in the mornings? I have absolutely no idea. I groaned and pushed him off off me, standing up and walking to the restroom to take a shower. While i was rubbing shampoo into my scalp i started thinking. That is not a good thing in my case. Mmmm, let's check everything that has happened starting 3 months ago.

- I lost all my friends.

- Everyone started to hate me.

-Jer was getting bullied at school.

-Oh yeah let's not forget about the reason of that all. My sweet precious mother told everyone that I was gay and left us for another dude, who was, in fact, 7 years younger than her.

Yay life.

I got out of the steaming hot shower and wrapped a towel around myself and another one around my blonde wavy hair. I'm starting junior year today and Jerr is starting 4th grade, since he's 9. New school, new place, and new life. Most importantly, new people. Dad decided to move since the bullying didn't die down and it was getting worse every passing day. We moved to Corona, Los Angeles 3-4 months ago from London, England. Yeah i know, England? It's not that big of a deal. Oh well.

I started to search for my clothes an decided to put some music on to lighten uo my day. I put my Galaxy s3 on shuffle and "If You Ca't Hang" by Sleeping With Sirens came on.

"Met a girl at seventeen,

Thought she meant the world to me,

So i gave her everything,

She turned out to be a cheat.""Yeah, not a good idea," I mumbled as i changed the song. "Happy" by Never Shout Never came on. I started to sing along while putting on the outfit i picked out, a black flowy tank top, some ripped shorts, and  pair of black converse. I decided against styling my air and out on a grey beanie to cover the nest that is my hair. What? I really couldn't;t care less if it is the first day of school, i can go dressed like a hobo for all i want.

"Jer! You ready buddy?!" I yelled.

"Yeah!" I heard, after about 5 seconds Jer cam out of his room dressed in the school's uniform. White tee-shirt, dark blue trousers, and some black vans, his Spider-Man backpack slung over his shoulder and a soft smile playing on his lips.

"Alright, let's go."

We went to the kitchen just to be welcomed by the sight of my father sitting on the kitchen table's chair, reading the newspaper.

"Bye Ash, Jeremiah, love you both," he said looking up and pointing to his cheek.

We each pecked his stubbly cheek and said I love you back to him, once we did that we headed out. Jer's school was on the way to mine so it was easier. It was a 10 minute walk and it was already 7:57 so we had to hurry up our pace. School starts at 8:05 for Jer and 8:10 for me.

*Skips walk because i'm a lazy queen bitch*

I got to school just in time to hear the bell ring, but I still had to go to the office and pick up my schedule. I sighed and went to ask a random ginger guy, he was kinda nerdy looking but still looked adorable.

"Hello," I said in my British accent, "Do you mind telling me where the Office is?" I smiled at him and he smiled back, nodding.

"Sure, I can lead you there if you want?" he asked.

"Oh, if it isn't a trouble, please?" I looked at him expectantly.

"Not at all, come one now," he started walking and i followed him. We walked for about 5 minutes and then we got to a door labeled 'Office.'

"Thank you so much, you can go to your class really. I'm sorry for making you late," I smiled weakly and guiltily at him.

"It's no trouble, you are welcome..." he waited.

"Oh! How stupid of me, I'm Ashley. Ashley Watson,: I shook his hand quickly.

"Ashley Watson, My name is Evan, good to meet you," he then turned around and started walking away. I entered the room and stepped in, i looked around and spotted a woman in her mid 40's with heavy red lipstick and thick black glasses.

"Um, hi" I asked a little bit unsure. She looked up and stared at me waiting for me to say something.

"My name is Ashley Watson? I'm the new student and I came here to pick up my schedule," I cleared my throat when I finished talking, uncomfortable.

"Ah yes, the British girl, hold on." She started typing on her keyboard and looked at the printer expectantly. Something printed and she handed it to me, "Here it is, here you can take a map of the school. If you have any questions at all come and ask me or go to one of your teachers." She smiled fakely at me and i hurried out og the room. It took me 10 minutes to find the stupid class, which was Spanish lll. I opened teh door slowly, peeking in, and then i steeped fully inside and stood up straight, arranging my beanie. I looked at the board and it read 'Mrs.Padulo" and then looked back at the teacher, who was staring at me.

"You must be Ashley Watson, oh dear come on up, you arrived a little late so you missed the activity. Basically all you have to do is stand here, introduce yourself," she motioned to the place next to her, "and the students will be asking you questions." I nodded and went over to stand there.

"Hi. My name is Ashley Watson, as previously said. I'm from London.England. I am 16 years old aaand.." I trailed off now knowing what to say.

'Oh hello there mates, I'm Ashley, i am gay, how has your day been?"

Yeah.No

"You're British?" I heard an amused voice ask.

"Yes. I am, wonder how you notice that?" i said sarcastically and rolled my eyes.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" I looked to the left and saw a boy with a blonde-brownish hair with a pair of green eyes.

"No, I don't. And i am not looking for one," I tried my best not to punch him and erase that smirk out of his lips.

"What music do you listen to," a sing-song voice said. I searched for the beautiful voice and found a red-head girl, with beautiful and breathe taking eyes the color of the ocean.

"U-um, I mostly listen to All Time Low, 5SOS, Sleeping With Sirens, AC/DC, Blink-182, and a lil bit of Coldplay." I answered to her question, and by the end i could feel myself blusing.

I saw a few jaws drop. Yep, don't let my image fool you, i can be a tomboy or a girly girl. Depends.

"Okay, enough for today, we have to get on with the rules and blabla. Mrs.Watson why don't you go sit next to Citali. Maxwell raise your hand please." Mrs.Padulo told me.

I saw the red-headed girl raise her hand and i tried to hide my smile as she giggled. I walked over there and sat down. I swear i could feel her gaze on me, but I didn't dare look up.

Hello? Anybody there? I hope so. Sooo that was the first chapter. I hope it was good, and I'm sorry for any mistakes but please don't point them out. There is no need for them.
