My Orphan

Chapter 4: It's A Date

Ashley's P.O.V:

It's been a week since i started in this school, and Layla is still her same cold and distent self. But this weekend I am planning to try and change this maybe get her to open up a bit.

I arrived to school at the same hour as everyday, and see the red eyed beuty entering the hallway, so i ran to catch up to her.

"Lili wait up." She didn't hear or she just chose to ignore me, but she didn't stop.

I caught up to her and turned her arround. She glared at me than relaxed when she recognized me.

"What?" She asked remooving her earphones. Oh so this is why she didn't respond.

"How are you today?" I inquired hoping to make conversation with her that will last more than a minute.

"Same as always." She replied, and continued her way to class. I followed her because we were in the same class.

Remembering that today is friday, I asked: "What are you doing after school?"

She wanted to know why, so I told her: "I was hoping we could go wach a movie together, it would be nice to hang out."

"Sorry but I'm busy."

"With what?" I whined.

"Something." I looked at her as if telling her 'seriously'.

"Oh come on, what about saturday? And i won't take no for an answer." I walked in front of her to stop her from walking.

"Fine. Whatever." She shrugged, pushing past me and continuing to class as the bell rang.

"It's a date then." I yelled after her, and squealed with excitement and followed after her.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

The day of school passed painfully slow, but I was distracred the whole time looking at Lili who was doodling on her notebook. I couldn't help my self from staring at her beutifull face, she was just so... cute.

When school was done, I waited next to my car for her to come out, I was going to take her home today no matter what.

Finally she came out, her earphones on.

I aproached her so she took one of them off to listen to me.

"Hey want a ride. This time you can't say no." I added when she opened her mouth to refuse.

She sighed which I took as a yes, so I grabed her hand and lead her to my car.

I opened the front seat for her so she could go in and than ran around the car to get in my seat.

" Ashley, can you pass by the elementary school? I have to pick my brother up." she asked hesitently.

"Of coarse. Which way is his school."

She lead me to the school where she got out of the car and went to meet a boy with brown hair and hazel eyes. He was no older than 7 or 8 years old. Her brother looks nothing like her. That's odd.

She came back moments later holding the youngue boy's hand, and got in the car.

"Hello." The youngue boy greeted excitedly. "I'm Ricky. Are you a friend of Laylay? What's your name?"

"Nice to meet you Ricky. Yes I am a friend of Lili. My name is Ashley." He was shocked at what I had said and Layla was glaring at me.

"Laylay, she calls you Lili just like..."

"Shut up Ricky." She cut him off harshly.

"Just like who?" I asked curiously, wanting to know more about her.

"No one just... Forget it." I saw so much sadness on her face as she said that. But as soon as I saw it, it was gone. She turned away from me as I started the car.

"Where do I go." She gave me the adress and I drove there.

On the way there, I spotted an ice cream truck, so I stopped by it.

"Hey little guy, want some ice cream?" I asked Ricky who nodded excitedly.

So I descended from the car and opened his door so he could get out.

"Go take whatever you want, I'll be with you in a second." He immediately ran to the truck to order. "Lili, do you want anything? I asked through the window.

" No, thank you, and you didn't have to do that. " She said looking uncomfortable.

" Don't worry it was nothing, I just wanted to make Ricky happy. "

She nodded, and I went to Ricky who had ordered a vanilla ice cream. I bought myself somme cookie dough ice cream and paid for both.

We went back to the car after we finished, and Ricky kept thanking me just to annoy me after I told him not to.

We arrived to the adress and it was a nice looking building.

"Is this where you live?" I asked as they both got out.

"No, we live around the block but we want to continue walking. Thanks for the ride."

"No problem. See you tomorrow, I'll pick you up at 6. Be ready." I winked at her and drove off.

But I didn't miss the way she blushed when I did it.
