Grace's P.O.V.

I'm walking the halls with Mary Lou beside me. We're gossiping about the party that happened this weekend. "Where did you go?" I ask, stopping at my locker. She leans against the locker next to mine, with a smirk on her lips. I open my locker giving her an raised eyebrow. I see the look in her eyes.

I scoff, "Don't tell me you had sex with that Australian that moved here four years ago?" I ask grabbing my French notebook. "Hey Luke is a stud! It was worth it." She winks at me. I roll my eyes playfully at her closing my locker door. We walk away from my locker continuing the conversation. We make it to French. We walk to our seats placing our book sacks on the floor next to us.

"One of Luke's friends told me that you left with some guy. Who was it?" she asks leaning forward for the story. I smile at my best friend. "He's new here. He's from Australia. He's only been here for about a month." I tell her. "Okay. What's his name?" she pushes. "Ashton." I simply say, opening my notebook. "How di-" she was interrupted by the bell ringing.

Mr. Guidry closes the door pushing his thick rimmed glass up his nose so they won't fall off his face. He walks to his desk while the class is being destructive. "Settle down!" He tells over the commotion. The class gets quit and he starts to teach.

I'm in my room doing my homework when somebody knocks on my door. "Come in." I say, with my eyes on my homework. "Hey sweetie." my mother's voice fills my room. I look up and give her a sweet smile. "Hey mama."

"I'm going to the store. Do you want anything from there?" she asks. "A candy bar would be great." I smile. She nods and closes the door. After 45 minutes, I'm done with all my homework. I walk downstairs to get me something to drink.

I grab the bottle coke and opened it. I take a few swigs and place it on the island we have in our kitchen. I sigh. I haven't seen Ashton since Saturday night. I wonder what's he's doing. I groan grabbing my coke trying to forget about the cat. I walk out of the kitchen.

I hear the front door being open with my moms voice conversating with another voice. The door opens revealing my mother and no other than. Ashton.
