|REVERIE|

2. Ashley

Listen to the song above🔝

I started my car and drove, I kept weeping and when I looked up, a car came straight without swerving and made a quick left turn and I found myself about to hit a wall. I hit the break and the car stopped just before crashing in the wall,I sighed and drove to my home.

My day can't get any worse...

I opened the door and went quickly inside my room and shut the door. I crawled inside my bed and took a pillow and screamed inside it. I am frustrated.

Tears flood my eyes and rolled down my cheeks making the neckline of my dress damp.

How could she ever betray me? I thought she was my friend.

I cried till my all tears drained and then I just lay in my bed thinking about the time I thought she was my friend.

I moved to LA when I was 12 years old, and I didn't know anyone. My brother was 16 and he was in sophomore year, but he didn't go to the same school as me.

I remember how everyone ignored me on the first day of school and how I sat crying in the right corner in the end.

Xeal walked towards me and sat down near me and she talked to me till I stopped crying.

She went in front of the class dragging me and said before everyone that, if anybody dares to tease me they probably would get a fist mark on their faces.

After that no one tried to even stare at me let alone tease, and that's how we met.

Memories of her flooded my head I waved the thought and decided to take a bath.

I turned on the shower and just sat down pulling my knees to my chest.

I sat like that for a time which probably was more that an hour.
I changed into a my night pants and a plain black tee.

I just jumped into my bed not caring about my damp hair.
I heard a light knock on my door and knew it was my mom.

I got up and opened the door and managed to put a smile on my face, even though I know that my mom will find what I'm facing.

My mom gave me a worried look as if she is scared I might end myself.

" What happened to you? My dear, you look so low", She asked me in a concerned tone.

I smiled and said that it's just because of I am parting my friend.

" Can you please leave me alone"
I said a little rudely even though I didn't want to. I am not to be blamed here.

Because I am scared that I might break before her and I didn't want to, cause I know that it would worry her too much.

She nodded slowly with her head down and said she she understands me, and that I can talk to her whenever I want to. She also told me that she would be with no matter what I do.

I nodded my head and closed my door. I hugged my pillow and tried to sleep, but I couldn't.

So I decided to surf through my phone and saw a new post of xeal with Ian and lost my interest in using phone, so I read my favourite novel Looking for Alaska. I have read it 100's of times.

My head began to ache as I left my hair damp so I took a aspirin and just lay in my bed thinking about the labyrinth of suffering.

I found myself standing in the middle of a rectangular table, where we had out farewell.
Everyone sat around the table staring at me.

I tried to move from there but I couldn't move. Xeal was sitting right in front of me.

I tried to scream at her but no sound escaped my mouth. So I just frowned at her to which she had no reaction.

She got up from her seat and shouted "hey guys", which caught everyone's attention.

"I am gonna say you guys about Ashley and Aydan. You are probably wondering who is Aydan, right?. He is Ashley's boyfriend" she said making air quotes for the word 'boyfriend'.

I just stood there not being able to talk or move. Anger flushed through me making my face red.

She continued " Ashley dreams of this boy called Aydan who doesn't exist and that is the reason she don't date real persons. She once said me about how she dreamt of marrying him and having cute little children". My most embarrassing moment changed right there.

Everyone burst into laughter and...

I woke up from my bed and realised all of this was a dream.
I sighed in relief and got up.

I touched my forehead and found myself in a pool of sweat. I got up and and drank the water placed in my night stand.

I cheked the time it was seven in the morning. I tried to go back to sleep but I couldn't.

So I decided to go bathe. I opened the shower, I flinched as the cold water hit my skin. After I was done bathing, I wore a purple long sleeved pajamas.

And sat on my bed resting my head. Memories of the dream clouded my mind. Just the thought of the dream sent a wave of anger through me.

I grabbed my phone and installed tinder. I filled my profile and surfed my gallery for a picture of me, I went for a picture of me  standing in my garden wearing a white crop top and a black skirt. I am going insane, I wouldn't have done these stupid 'boyfriend searching' if I was in my right state.

I went through the profiles of boys my age, I burst out lauging at a profile of a boy who had his hair cut in the shape of a hat.

After searching for some time I found a profile of a handsome guy whose name was Reagen Andrews.

He was standing in a shirt with his button undone, exposing his abs.

I clicked on his profile, he was 19, a year older than me. I swiped his profile in the right.

I send his 'Hi' and closed my phone waiting for a reply.

I must be crazy.

A message popped up in my phone. I opened my phone and saw that it was from Reagen.

I chatted with him for some time and then we decided to meet outside in Feaston for dinner tomorrow.

I put the phone aside and lay in my bed. My stomach started to grumble so I got up and went down to grab some food.

Tomorrow is my first date.
