You Either Love Me or Hate Me a.i.

How does one get invited to a party when one has never been to a high school party. The agonizing drive to the party was the worst. It's really awkward when you just have to sit there and Ashton gets all quiet. Uh, Ashton is never quiet? Anyway, it just really fucking sucks now that I'm here sitting alone in the corner eating their food. Whenever I go to a party, well technically a family or birthday party, I would always eat the food and go to a corner being antisocial of me. How typical. I was literally about to walk out the door when I saw one of Ashton's friends, Luke. He was taking a step in the house and smirked.

"Hey, Jenna! What are you doing here, well actually where do you think you are going?" He questioned then let out a small chuckle.

"Oh, I was just heading out. Parties aren't really my thing, plus Ashton kinda just ditched me," I explained. He seemed to understand and shrugged.

"Okay, well. I'll see you around then? He smiled and I nodded smiling back. I turned back around and made my way out of the house.

I let out a groan of frustration when I realized how far this neighborhood is from mine. Honestly, I just wanted to go home, but I can't really do that since Ashton was my ride. There was a faint sound of what seemed like yelling and the voices were becoming clearer. Ashton was walking out of the furiously and I began to freak out. He was walking towards me and grabbed my wrist.

"We're leaving," he said sternly.

"Ah, thank god, I've been waiting to go home right when we got here," I told him. He was patting around his pants and took out his keys when he finally unlocked the car that we were fortunately already in front of.

He sighed and hesitated before he spoke, "I'm sorry for leaving you alone back there. I was just caught up with this group and they wouldn't leave me alone." I nodded my head and buckled my seat belt.

"Oh, okay. Was it your guy friends, because I saw Luke come in earlier though," He shook his head and I stared up at him tilting mine.

"Just this girl and her friends, nothing to worry about," he explained. I nodded my head once again. My stomach was churning, but I don't know why once he mentioned this girl. I shook the feeling away and felt myself drifting off to sleep.

It's been a week from that whole party and I haven't seen Ashton all week. I mean not that I cared, but I kinda missed the guy teasing me in class. I was sitting in the shade where my mom was supposed to pick me up when I saw Michael walking up to me. I felt a sense of déjà vu and I sighed to myself.

He caught my eye and his face lit up. "Hey, Jenna! Why haven't you been coming to the class meetings? Ashton like freaking misses you in that class," he explained. I felt myself getting all giddy.

"I don't know. It doesn't really matter since its finally over," I replied. He was slowly backing away until he said one last thing.

"Well, he missed you, since he's like your boyfriend," he teased. It looked like he was kind of in a hurry and I laughed it off. I returned to waiting for my mom while looking down at my phone. I look up again to see where Michael went, but he was gone just like disappeared last time. God, he's so weird sometimes.

The minutes were going by and it was starting to get really boring so I took out my phone and played a song from one of my favorite bands and decided to sing along to it. I had to keep checking left to right to see if there was anyone near me because I didn't want anyone to hear me. There seemed to be no one around and I played, "I Miss You" by Blink 182.

"Where are youuuu, and I'm so sorry I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight," the music was coming to and end when I heard someone clapping from behind me. I jumped up from my seat and saw Ashton walking towards me.

"Wow, you sound amazing," he smiled an actual genuine smile. I instantly felt my cheeks heat up.

"Uh, thanks," I nervously chuckled. It was awkward because I was alone and singing to myself and then Ashton just has to pop out of nowhere!

"I'm not kidding, you should sing in my band," he looked at me seriously.

I bursted out laughing,"Wait, you have a band!? That's so weird because I honestly can't picture you being in a band." He laughed along with me.

"Haha, yeah. I mean it's nothing even serious were just posting covers on my friend's youtube channel," he awkwardly said. He looked really cute and I hope he didn't catch me staring.

"Okay, well that's great and all, but I gotta go now. I'll see you around," My mom was pulling up to the curb.

"Yeah, cool. I'll see you."
