Chapter 34: Last Day, Butterflies, and french fries

Ashlynn's P.O.V

~Last day of school~

Summer. Half a day left. Half.

I smile grew on my face. I shoved a French fry in my face. I sitting at lunch with Max.

The bell rang. Time for the third period. I sigh and throw out my garbage.

"You forgot something," Max said giving a hug from behind. I'm now standing in the middle of the hall.

I start to get butterflies in my stomach.

"What?"

Max lets go. I turn around and right away, Max leans down and kisses me.

"Oh." I giggle. "Okay. I've got to get to class."

"Wow. What a way to ruin the moment." Max laughs.

A laugh escapes my lips.

We walk our separate directions.

"Ashlynn!"

I turn around. It was Max who had yelled that. He was all the way on the other end of the hall.

I smile.

"I love you!" Even though he had three of his best friends beside him he still yelled that.

I blush. "Love you too!"

I turn back around and head to English.

It was finally the end of the day.

"Ashlynn! Ashlynn!" Ember yelled across the schoolyard. Everyone seemed to stare at her.

"What?" I yelled back.

"Summer!" She screamed.

"Summer!" I screamed back.

"Summer!" Someone else screamed across the yard. Max.

I start to laugh.

"You need a ride?" Ember asks.

"Nah." I wave a hand at her. "I wanna walk."

"Okay see you later Ashy." She smiles.

"Byes." I smile.

I start walking down the sidewalk.

"Hey! Wait up!" Max calls.

"Hey," I say.

"What's up?" He says pulling his shoulder bag over his shoulder.

"Walking."

"Oh. Well, no duh." He laughs. I walk a little slower till I'm just behind Max.

"Carry me!" Then I jump on his back, hugging his neck. He stumbles a bit in surprise but regains it in a few seconds. He laughs.

"Sure thing sweetheart." He chuckles.

I giggle.

We head home in silence.

Once at my house-well embers- Max drops me. "You wanna come over?" He asks.

"Sure. One sec." I smile. I ran into the house, dropped my bag and ran out the door.

We head to his house.

"Can we make cookies?"

"Sure if I have the ingredients." He says throwing his bag on the ground.

We start our attempt to make chocolate chip cookies.

"Now. Where are the chocolate chips?" Ashlynn said looking at the cookbook.

"I don't know," I said grabbing some cookie dough and slapping it on to her face then smudging it all over.

Ashlynn glares at me. Then before I knew it cookie dough was all over my face. Then the food fight starts.

Somehow we ended up on the floor. Laughing.

"C'mon lets go clean up," Max says getting up then offering me his hand. I take it. He leads me into his bathroom.

"You go first." He says and leaves.

I get undressed and get into the shower.

I felt two arms wrap around my stomach.

I tense.

"Calm down it's on only me."

He starts hungrily kissing my neck.
