My phone buzzed loudly, one eye slowly opening as I buried myself further in my blankets, trying to ignore the vibrating phone. Then I realised it wouldn't stop buzzing until I got up to answer it, so I exhaled heavily and slowly got up to grab my phone to check the hundred messages on my lockscreen.

I clicked on the Snapchat notifications and pushed my messy bed hair away from my eyes to read the messages.

Ash 💖

I smiled and threw my phone to the side of the bed as I slowly yawned and pulled myself up. I ruffled my blonde hair and let it fall down my shoulder and grabbed the light blue towel, making my way to the shower.

I was ready to leave the house in no more than 20 minutes, the constant ringing of the doorbell letting me know that Ash was outside waiting for me. I quickly ran over to the door and saw a wild Ashley with a flushed look on her face, her arms flailing around like an absolute madman.

"What is going on?!" I half-yelled. At first I was sure she was speaking gibberish but then I understood what she was saying after processing it a second time.

"I was being chased by a 40 year old something man and he kept giving me weird looks and I dashed here and got here as soon as possible but he kept following me and I got so scared and oh my goodness Alyson you don't even understand!" she yelled with all her energy, which still confused me on how someone could have this much energy in the morning. 

"What? Why was there a 40 year old looking man chasing you?" I asked, shock and concern crossing my face. I had absolutely no idea how I even managed to understand a single thing from her word vomit.

"I don't know Alice do you want to ask him?!" she yelled at me, the sarcasm apparent in her tone.

"Wait! Let me grab the kitchen knife. Where'd you last see him?! I'll chop his dick off." I grumbled, ready to storm off into the kitchen and grab the weapon before Ash pulled my arm and prevented me from leaving. She slowly lowered her arms, her pinkish face turning back into the normal shade of Ashley. A sly smirk formed on her face.

"You did not just-"

"Just practicing since we're both going to be acting on the same stage. I still need some skill even if it's just a small role, right?" she giggled and grabbed my arm again, pulling me out of the apartment building, the cool air slapped my face as I continued to blink in confusion.

"Yeah yeah whatever, you bamboozled me. Well done!" I gave her a pat on the back with my free hand, which was more like a smack than a congratulations. She looked back at me and gave me an angry glare, still dragging me across the street as I laughed at her.

"So where do you wanna go?" she asked as we were on the bus off to the mall. I looked at her in confusion.
