at home

when I got home I went straight to my desk and start planning on what I was going to bring, I pulled out all my school stuff from my plain black jansport and put in granola bars, a water bottle, and extra batteries for my flashlight

as I zipped up my back pack I heard a tap on my window,

I go over and move the curtain and see emma, what's she doing here?

"what are you doing here?"

"nice to see you to"

"sorry, just wouldn't expect you to come through my window and not tell me your coming over"

"oh yeah, sorry about that"

"but really what are you doing here?"

"to hang out! c'mon it's pretty much your last night here let's have a girls night!" she exclaimed, waving her hands around

"right about that, emma I can't tonight."

"why not?"

"cause I mean, it's alex's last night here with us and we're just gonna hang out and you know, I know, you don't 'like people like them,' but c'mon, I'm sorry, we'll hang out all day tomorrow!"

"yeah I totally get it! you wanna spend your last night together with your boyfriend! it's fine"

"oh my god thank yo- wait, did you just say boyfriend?" I asked surprised

"yeah, you guys are dating right? you and alex?"

"uhm no we're just friends emma"

"oh, well listen, he really likes you, I can tell by the way he looks at you and how he likes to mess around with you. and I can see it in your eyes too"

"what are you talking about?!"

"my god ashley! how can you be so blind? alex l-i-k-e-s you and you l-i-k-e alex." she told me with a smug look on her face.

and then it hit me, he did like me, all the playing around, it was him flirting! all the winks and smirks

and then realization hit
