Not a Monster

Stargazing

Song- Everything Has Changed, Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran

Asher took me into town for dinner. The restaurant wasn't fancy, but it was run-down either. A few families were there, but it wasn't packed.

Over all it was nice. I approve of eating here.

As long as Asher pays for my broke ass.

The waitress took our orders and left to get our food.

"You're a random person, Asher."

"That statement in itself was random. You're contradicting yourself by stating that."

I rolled my eyes at him. I had expected an answer like that. "So I was thinking-"

"Congratulations! You did it Carter, I'm so proud of you!"

"Shut up and let me finish smart ass. I was thinking that I told you all this stuff about me but I still know nothing about you, so it's your turn."

"What do you want to know?"

"What's your full name?"

"Asher Graham Davis, which will make you the future Sophia Carter Davis."

I scrunched my nose. I refuse to go by that name. It sounds wrong. It's not fair that the girl had to change her name. Us girls go our whole lives, never knowing what our name will be in the end!

"Don't call me Sophia and don't bring up stuff like that."

"Whatever you say Sophia, I mean Carter."

If this table wasn't between us I would wipe that smirk off his face. "Next question. What's your favorite color?"

"Green."

"I expected blue or black. Interesting."

"Do you have anymore questions?"

"Favorite food?"

"Hamburgers."

"You're such a guy."

"Last time I checked I was." He glanced down at his lap and back up to me a few times.

"Oh you have to check? So the surgery went well?" He gave me a playful glare and the waitress brought us our drinks. I ordered Coke, and Asher ordered Dr.Pepper.

"What's your life story?" I asked as I stirred the ice in my cup with the straw

"We go from 'what's your favorite food' to 'whats your life story?'" He raised an eyebrow at me.

"Life's too short for messing around."

"Well I'm 18 years old, when I graduate I'll take over the pack completely. I grew up just like all the other kids, just slightly more privileged. I met Chase in first grade and we've been best friends ever since."

"You have a boring life."

"Sorry my life can't compare to your action-filled, fun existence."

"Next question." I had to think about it for a second. "What's your happiest memory?"

"That's easy. It was around 2 or 3 in the morning. I was laying in bed."

I was listing to his story intently. I was curious to what he was about to tell me.

"I was overwhelmed with a growing sense of hunger, let me tell you, it was bad. I went to the kitchen to find something to eat. There was some pizza, so I just grabbed it and started eating it, I didn't think much of it. Then suddenly, this super hot chick walks in and starts complaining about me eating her pizza. Then-"
