My Orphan

Chapter 8: Falling

Ashley's P.O.V.:

Yesterday I was so sick I couldn't move from my bed. My parents let me stay home so I could get better.
It was now 7am, and I was getting ready for school, which started at 8.

After my morning routine, I put on some fitted blue ripped jeans, and a cropped black t-shirt,and pared them with all black converse. Brushing my hair and leaving it louse, I went downstairs to eat breakfast.

"Good morning mama, it smells good in hear." I said walking into the kitchen.

"Hello baby girl, do you feel better now?" She kissed my cheek, then went back to finish preparing breakfast.

"I'm feeling pretty good. And can you please stop calling me that, I'm 16 mom."

"You could be 40, and you would still be my baby." Her words put a smile on my face. I really love my mom. I'm closer to her than my dad because I rarely see him. He leaves early to work and comes back at night.

My mom snapped me out of my thoughts as she placed a plate of blueberrie pancakes on the counter in front of me.

"Thank you mama, those are my favorite."

"I know." She smiled and went to her room to get ready for work.

I finished my plate quickly, well as quick as I could, then went out to my car, and drove to school.

I parked in the spot that I claimed to be mine, and made my way to the entrance.

On the way to my locker, I saw my angel rummaging in her locker, so I approached her.

"What are you searching for Lili?"

She turned around surprised and when she saw me a small but heart melting smile appeared on her face.

"Hey Ash, I'm just searching for my calculater, I have a math test today and I can't find it."

"You can use mine if you want." I suggested handing her the calculator from my hand.

"Don't you need it?"

"No, my exam is tomorrow. You can have it for now, no worries."

"Thanks." I pecked her on her cheek and went to class when the bell rang, but I didn't miss the blush that spread on her face.

I entered the chemistry lab and greeted Mr. Brown, who was waiting patiently for the students to fill the class. Once everyone was in, he started the class by explaining what we were doing today. It was an easy experiment that we had to make and there were grades on it.

He paired us up by seat partner, and lucky for me, I was seated next to one of the smart kids, and not someone who would make me do all the work.

We obviously got an A. And the rest of my morning classes flew by quick and soon I found myself walking to Layla's locker so we could have lunch together like usual.

I was planning on asking her out on a date Saturday, which was in two days.
I finally have the courage to ask her to be my girlfriend, I had everything planned out.

I stopped in front of her locker and saw her standing in all her beauty. I walked up to her and wrapped my arms around her waist.

"Hey you. Let's go eat I'm hungry." I said, lacing my fingers with hers.

She nodded and we made our way to the cafeteria. I got myself something to eat and we made our way outside to our famous tree.

We ate for a few minutes in a comfortable silence, and then she broke it.

"I wanted to ask you if you were okay yesterday. You didn't come to school and I couldn't contact you and I was worried about you and..." She was rambling, and I giggled at her cuteness which made her go silent.

"I caught a little cold, don't worry about me Lili, I'm okay."

"That's good." She smiled her million dollar smile. I just loved her smile because I rarely saw it.

After a couple of minutes, I finally askes her the question I've been meaning to ask her about since I first saw her today.

"Lili, I want to take you out on Saturday. And you can't say no."

"Why?"

"Because I said said so. Is it a yes or a no?" I asked just to tease her.

"I think I don't have a choice. But it's a yes."

A huge smile spread on my face at her words. I'm really falling for this girl.

"Where are you taking me?" She asked me.

"It's a surprise princess. But don't worry you're going to love it." I pinched her nose with my fingers to which she giggled cutely.

We heard the bell ring,so I stood up and held my hand out to help her, which she accepted.

We made our way to P.E. class hand in hand, and like always, we got weird looks from the students.

We walked into the changing room to change and then walked out to the gym where our teacher was waiting.

When all the students were in. The lesson started.

We did laps around the court first, then some exercises that I thought were easy. And finally we played a small basketball match. But unfortunately my team didn't win. Lili's team won.

But honestly, the whole time my eyes were on her, admiring all her beauty.

I'm really falling for that girl. I can't wait to call her mine. I hope she says yes to being my girlfriend.
