The Girl In The Front Row || a.i ✡

Chapter 17

*Mia's POV*

I woke up to someone shaking my shoulder. "Hey Mia, wake up. Were home" beka said softly. I rubbed my eyes and yawned. I just looked at beka for a moment then out of the window. We were parked outside my house. "See you tomorrow?" I asked tired while getting out of the car. She just nodded at me then smiled. I grabbed my bag out of the trunk then made my way to the front door.

"Mom I'm home" i shouted. - but there was no reply. I dragged my bag up the stairs and into my bedroom before collapsing onto my bed. I looked up at the ceiling before remembering i had something to do. I reached over to my purse and grabbed my phone quickly. I scrolled down to Ashton's contact before clicking the telephone button.

3 rings later a very exhausted ashton answered my call.

"Hi" i breathed smiling.

"Make it home ok?" He questioned.

"Yup" i said popping the P.

"So when do you wanna get together?" He questioned.

"Let me know whatever suites you best" i answered.

Ashton just sighed - "I already miss you" he chuckled.

"Me too, me too" i spoke.

Ashton started rambling on about some things we could do when all of a sudden i heard a loud screaming of my name coming from downstairs.

"Hey Ash, I am so sorry but i have to put the phone down, either my mum is home or Beka has come round - i will call you later."

"Promise?" He questioned.

"Promise." I said crossing my fingers

although he could not see me.

2 minutes after putting the phone down a very excited Beka came running into my bedroom. "Mia Mia Mia Mia" she screamed jumping around like a ninja. "What?" I asked laughing at her.

" I, - I mean we. I mean us. I -" she stopped before throwing a letter at me obviously too worked up to speak.

"Oh my god" i breathed. What even is life.

Luke Hemmings' mother has invited us to her birthday party the day after tomorrow to surprise the boys.

I joined in with the screaming and ran around my room waving the invite in the air, executing a very great lion king scene if you ask me.

But then it hit us. "What are we going to wear?" We both asked in sync.

I grabbed my purse and dashed downstairs with Beka hot on my heels. We flung the door open and ran down the road and over to the shopping mall. Just my luck i lived about 500 meters away from one of the biggest shopping malls in the area.

We made our way through the shopping mall striding our way past all of the shops. "The invite said dress formal" Beka said carefully choosing her words. I nodded the pulled her into a small shop called "light in the box" i am guess that this shop was new so i was very curious.

The dresses were all lined up and different racks and they were all very pretty and also formal. Sone long, some short and some short in the front and long in the back. "Business in the front, party in the back!" We both said laughing at the same time.

I searched through all the dresses when i saw a black and white one that really caught my eye. It was black at the top and white at the bottom, it has very nice crossing straps with a large bow in the middle at the back a a triangle part cut out on my stomach and honestly - i was in love.

I grabbed the dress in my size then head off to the changing rooms. I slipped into the dress the let my hair hang over the front. "Does it look ok?" I asked beka and she just smiled widely and commented on my dress of choice.

I already had shoes at home that i could wear and i was pretty much 100% sure that this was the dress i was going to buy.

I waited on one of the chairs while beka tried on 100 dresses. I decided to text Ashton. I had just sent him a simple "hey" when I heard beka clear her throat. "What about this one" she asked me shy. I just nodded my head fast smiling widely. "Thats the one!" I chanted laughing.

We made our way over to the cash register and the woman greeted us with a warm smile. "Anything else?" She asked us. We just shook our heads then paid for the dresses.

"Now what?" Beka asked me as we made our way back to my house.

"We persuade our moms" i laughed hugging her goodbye.

We only lived 5 minutes apart by foot so we saw each other all the time. I made my way home and hung my dress up before collapsing back into bed and pressing the call button all over again.
