My Only Wish // Asa Butterfield Fanfiction

Chapter 20

Chapter 20 ~ Rowan *Pictured* Ashley's right bedroom wall

I texted with Ashley for some time after getting home, and then eventually hoped into bed, worn out after the wild day.

* * * *

I woke up Friday morning feeling refreshed. I finally felt accepted at the school, and I had managed to keep my weight the same. Still fat, but I could lose it. And now tonight, was the sleepover! Although I was nervous, there was a sense of excitment in the air, and I absolutely couldn't wait.

I turned the corner and stepped into the school yard. The students were stuck in their little clumps, talking away. I noticed Ashley's blond curls and ran over to the girls.

"Hey!" I said happily, as Ashely turned around.

"Hey girl!! So you're coming tonight?"

"Of course I am! I can't wait!"

"I still can't believe he actually asked you out. And how long did you guys know each other? Like.."

"A week or so?" I said outloud, realzing how ridiculous it was.

"Woah! Love at first sight much?" Jenna laughed, obviously amazed.

"For him. For me it was since he was 8!" I laughed. They laughed and I felt a small smile tug at my lips.

"Speaking of age. Rowan you ARE younger than us, aren't you?" Ashley asked. I felt my stomach jump to my throat. Being around these girls made me forget I was younger, but for some reason I felt more welcome with them than I ever had with my old friends.

"Umm yeah actually. I had to take a placement test before coming, and the maturity level was ten times higher. And of course the intelligence was higher too, but I'm not like a genius or anything. I absolutely hate math...yeah I don't know." I said nervously, hoping I didn't sound stuck up or rude or something.

"Well I'm glad you did well or you wouldn't be with us! Well there goes the bell. Let's hope this day passes fast so we are closer to the sleepover, because I absolutely CAN'T WAIT!" Ashley grabbed my hand and we ran off into the building.

* * * *

The ball rang and I slid out of my seat, out the door and pranced down the hall to my locker. I frantically put books into my locker hoping that maybe if I did everything fast the time would go by faster. Suddenly I felt someone tap my shoulder so I turned around, expecting to see Ashley. Instead I found Asa smiling right at me. I jumped.

"Woah Ace don't scare me like that. What's up?" His smile widened a little bit. I wondered what I had done.

"I just wanted to make sure everything is planned. Tomorrow, seven, I pick you up?" He asked.

"Yup. If otherwise, I'll text you." I said, feeling myself blush. I still was in slight shock this was real.

"Okay. Have fun today!" He leaned over and kissed my cheek, just like that first day. I felt my insides fall apart and crumble and then explode like a volcano.

"Thanks!" I slid on my leather jacket and ran off, waving back to him. Why was he so perfect?

"Girl I swear you guys are going to be THE cutest couple EVER." Ashely said as I met her at the front gate.

"Ash, maybe he doesn't want a girlfriend. He's got fans...and he could be busy. It's just a date." I said, hoping secretly that everything I said wasn't true.

"Trust me, he'll find time." Ashley laughed and I smiled.

"Well I gotta run. See you soon bestie!" Ashley said with a smile. I waved and watched her go off, and then I ran the rest of the way home.
