Some Things Do Change

Chapter 21

That night, after practice, Zach and I went back to his place, where Jamie was asleep, and his parents and Vic were out.

We sat down on the couch, and turned on the TV.

"So what do you want to watch?" Zach asked.

"I don't know, what's on?" I asked.

Zach flipped through the channels, "Nothing good."

"So what do you want to do?" I asked.

"Ehh, let's watch a movie."

"What movie?"

"Let's watch Beauty and the Beast," Zach said, "It's my favourite Disney movie."

I smiled, "Why?" I asked, "Is it because you think Belle's pretty?"

"Yeah." He said.

I don't know why, but I felt jealous. I mean Belle's not even REAL!

"Well, she's not as pretty as you. And because," he said taking a deep breath, "I think of the Beauty and the Beast, like us. You're my Beauty and I'm the Beast, who just needs some help from his Beauty to show that he cares."

Zach's pov:

"Ashley, I have to tell you this. I like you a lot. And I know that you probably don't feel the same way, because of the way I used to treat you," I was so nervous about telling her this. But I finally did it, "And I know I don't show that I care about you in that way, but I am."

She looked at me and smiled, "You're so wrong. It's no probably that I don't like you. I do. I really do like you." She said.

I smiled, "So what do you think of going out on a date with me tomorrow?" I asked.

"Oh I don't need to think about that. I'd love to go on date with you," she said.

"Great. How about at 12, we go get lunch," I said.

"Sounds good to me," she agreed.

I stood up and put the movie in.

When I sat down, I sat right next to Ashley, and put my arm around her.

She put her head on my shoulder.

The movie finished.

She yawned, "Someone's a little tired," I said.

"Well, what do you expect, it's 1 in the morning. And I barely got any sleep last night," she said.

She was so adorable when she was tired. "Well then," I said, "I can't let you walk around tired. You might fall," I winked at her and picked her up bridal style.

She put her arms around my neck.

I carried her to her room. And put her down at the door.

"Thanks for carrying me," she said.

"It's nothing," I said, "Night," I kissed her cheek.

"Night," she said kissing my cheek.

I walked into my room. I was probably the happiest person in the world.

Ashley's pov: 

Zach asked me out, we watched Beauty and the Beast together with his arm around me, he carried me to my room, AND he kissed me on my cheek!

Best night of my life!

I can't wait for tomorrow.
