"Just keep your eyes closed."

"Ashton, I can't see shit. Just let me open them." As I started to remove my hands from my eyes, Ashton's went over again. I groaned and sat down, my eyes still closed.

"Okay... Open them...now" Ashton said. I opened my eyes to see a little picnic, in the middle of the field.

"Ash, this is so sweet oh my god." I beamed. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket for the 45th time in a row. I decided halfway through the drive, I should silence it, otherwise it could ruin our little date. Ignoring it, I sat down next to Ashton on the blanket.

After we had lunch, Ashton said he was taking me to the mall, and I mentioned going to the cute pet shop right near the food court. He agreed automatically, and that ended up being the first place we went to. I died once I saw the puppies and Ashton convinced me to pick one. We ended up getting a little brown dachshund. I named her Pepper and carried her around the mall, stopping at any pet food/toys/leash/etc store on the way.

We ended up not buying anything else, we just took Pepper home. By the time we got to my apartment, school was let out. After Ashton left to go home, I took my phone out of my pocket, to be met with a million notifications.

2:47 Lucifer :) : am I taking the bus home again?

Me: Yep. Sorry dude, I'll pick you up tomorrow tho I promise.

2:48 Lucifer :) : uh huh have fun on your date with Michael.

Me: what?

2:48 Lucifer:) : uh... Forget I said anything.

2:50 Clifford hates me: (34) missed texts (2) missed calls

I sighed and clicked on Michael's contact name.

Clifford hates me: I'm sorry

Clifford hates me: Please don't ignore me A.

Clifford hates me: There's a reason why I didn't want to hang out with you other than tutoring, but I know it's stupid so please respond

Clifford hates me:Amber?

Clifford hates me:Please I made a mistake

Clifford hates me:I know you like Ashton now

Clifford hates me:But he's not a good guy

Clifford hates me:He doesn't deserve you

Clifford hates me:Neither do I, but I could treat you better

Clifford hates me:Ignore that

Clifford hates me:But Amber

Clifford hates me:Please

Clifford hates me:Help me out here and at least read these

Clifford: C'mon beautiful

Clifford: Did you smile when I called you beautiful?

Clifford: I remember when I made you smile when I called you dumb pet names

Clifford: Can I come over

Clifford: We need to talk

I sighed and called him. "Hello, Michael? Hey, it's Amber. Are you alright? I figured since you were trying to get ahold of me for so long you'd automatically answer when I called you. Oh well. Um, I guess come over when you get this. We do need to talk... I need an explanation for all of this." I took a deep breath. "And if you aren't over here in 30 minutes, I'm going to assume something is wrong, and I'll come over, because... Still, after everything you put me through... I think I like you. I think I like like you." I laughed at how I sounded like a 10 year old. "Bye Mikey." I hung up, and prepared for Michael to come over.
