Chapter Four-The Future's Just Begun
I can't believe I giggled. I actually made noise, I'm such a fuck-up! How could I do that?
Andy, I told myself, one little slip-up is okay. Just don't make anymore noise!
Man, if only it was that bloody easy! Ashley kept trying to make me laugh again, and while I felt grateful for his determination, I just couldn't.
"Andy, c'mon. Just say something!" Ashley was frustrated now. It was break and he was trying to get me to talk.
I shook my head frantically. 'NO!' I wrote.
"Andy," he said gently, "you don't need to write stuff down. Just talk to me."
"Ashleh, quit it. 'E don't wanna talk."
Thank you, Oli!
"I'm concerned! Why won't you talk Andy?"
'Cause I'm not worth it. I don't have the right!' With that I threw my notebook down and fled to the bathroom. I locked myself in a stall and cried.
You're worthless! Ugly! Stupid! Pathetic...
"Andy?" I heard a whisper. "I'm sorry, come out of there? Please?"
I held back a whimper as I unlocked the stall. I stared right at my crush, he looked so beautiful. Those honey-brown eyes stared at me in concern, filled with sadness and confusion. "Andy..."
I flung myself at him and sobbed into his chest. He was startled for a minute, before he wrapped his arms around me.
"Andy... It's okay. You don't have to be scared anymore. It kills me to see you upset."
I looked up at him in confusion. He was concerned about me? He cared? Why?
Ashley then looked at me, placing one hand gently on my cheek. I gulped nervously, and he then pressed his lips against mine.
He kissed me...
