yes, I did in fact change the cover. This story is so boring ugh
Sophia had to leave on Monday so I took the day off. While she was with me we tried to cram our time with as many activities as we could. More shopping, going to the beach because Sophia had never actually been to one before, amusement parks, ice skating. By the time I had to drop her to the airport on Monday afternoon we were both exhausted.
When she got out of the car we were both crying and making promises to call every night. She was only going back to Bali for another few nights then back to the UK. Both her and Leigh planned on coming and staying with me after I graduated. Leigh and Soph were both already done with school.
I really had been missing so much school lately and had not been studying as much as I should've been so close to the HSC.
On Tuesday morning I woke up to a message from Ashton.
Ashton: catch the bus
Me: no
Ashton: can u pick me up then
Ashton: please :))
Me: sure bro
Ashton: bro
Ashton: 😎
Me: I'll be there in half an hour
Ashton: WHAT
Me: what
Ashton: why so early
Me: I'm studying in the library
Ashton: why not at home
Me: you can just catch the bus then
Ashton: no
Ashton: I'll be ready
Me: alright
Ashton was standing out the front of his house, both straps of his bag over his shoulders and he wore a pair of fairly rounded glasses on his face. I laughed to myself at the sight.
He came rushing over to my car and tried to open the door but it was locked. I unlocked and then he got in panting.
"Love your frames." I commented. "Do you actually need them?."
"No." he said. "I just wanted to fit in at the library."
"They actually look pretty nice though." I told him with a bit of courage.
"Well thank you love," (he giggled. Gosh it was cute when he giggled) "You look pretty nice today as well, even with out glasses."
"Thanks love." I replied back. We were becoming quite the bit flirty lately, and my confidence was growing quite a bit. I think Ashton's was as well. He called me love.
I tried to study for those 45 minutes. I think Ashton had actually planned to as well. But we just ended up talking every time we tried. Ashton would say something cute or funny and we'd get carried away, the librarian kept telling us to shut up.
We sat together at recess and lunch as well, Ashton said that Isaac was away or something. It wasn't just that one Tuesday. It ended up being almost everyday for the rest of the week. I couldn't even think about sitting back with Nash's group, things were starting to change slightly between Ashton and I. The spark was beginning to ignite.
We had this one spot, across the oval where no one else really went. We usually sat under a few scrawny trees or behind a big purple water tank if we needed shade. Sometimes I'd help him study, mainly we just hung out. We'd chat about anything, the topics got very peculiar at some moments. Sometimes we'd both be really tired and we'd lay our heads on our bags and sort of sleep until the bell rung.
