Ashley

• • •

I was still shocked. How could she recognize me so fast? I have to think of something to say.
"Ashley Downs? Who is she?" I said.

Then she narrowed her eyes at me like she was trying to see through me "hmm...so you don't know her?" she asked more like she stated.

"No. I just moved here. Why should I know her?" I said feigning innocence.
I do know how to act very well, not to brag,  but I also happen to know when people are acting too. Except you are better at acting than me. And trust me I have searched.

"Yeah. You're right. But in case you might want to know who she is, she was a student of Elites high !!]]]until about a year ago. Nobody has seen her since then." She said looking down as we kept on walking. "We have to go get your timetable and locker number from the principal's office."

  I was so curious I asked her " who was Ashley to you?" I knew many people were dying for my friendship. But as stupid as I was I gave them to the wrong people.

"She wasn't my friend, but I knew her. I knew every single thing about her. No I am not a stalker. I am just very observant. She walked with the wrong people and I couldn't warn her because even if she was in the same class with me, She was so far away. I tried my best to reach her...People thought she moved away from town, but I know she didn't and that's because I'm very close to them but they are not close to me. By them, I mean the Delors. The set of people that rule this school. I won't tell you about them, you will find out by yourself."

She does know them a lot and I can as well use her.

"Sorry about that but I have to go get my schedule"I said.

"Oh come on let's go." She dragged my hand to the principal's office and collected my schedule. "Wow! We have four out of five classes together." She said"but you have five classes with the some of the Delors"she said.

"Don't worry, I know how to handle people like them." I scoffed. "I'll be fine"

"Just be careful, those people are very dangerous" she said. "Well. I have some errands to run before classes so you have to find your way to your locker" She said and proceeded to skip away.

What a great day. I went looking for my locker. Any where I passed people looked at me and talked in hushed tone but I don't care and I like the attention. I easily located my locker, put all my things in it and brought out my books for first class.

Now time to locate my class. I was having English.

But well, today, i execute plan...

...oof.

I bumped into someone or more like someone bumped into me, and the drink he was holding poured on him. It looked like a deja vu. He was still looking at his white shit that now have a big brown stain in the middle.

"What the fuck!" The person said and then looked up at me with anger in his eyes. "Are you blind or what? Can't you watch where you are going"

Oh no. Ethan Jacobs. Argh. I have to act cool and fearless.

"Excuse me? You were the one that bumped into me so you should be the one to watch where you're going" I said with confident.

He looked shocked at first, then he recovered and masked his emotions back to being blank.

Since I was once in their small group, I know how to read their faces well, even when it is blank.

"Did you just talk back at me?" He asked. People where already circling us and I noticed Danelle and Laila were also there watching what was happening.
