-completed- Ashley Willow is a simple girl who's life practically revolves around her friend group. What happens when a cute new boy comes to school and starts hanging out with them?
"Payton, why are you doing this?" Ashley said as soon as we said down.
I froze and clenched my jaw.
What the fuck do I say? Tell her Payton....no don't do that....do it, no balls.....yeah im right no balls.....fuck it.
"Because I like you dumbass," I laughed as my nerves made my muscles tense up.
Ashley's POV
I froze completely.
What? He has feelings for me?
No, I'm thinking wrong. I probably doesn't mean it like that and I'm just being stupid.
Payton's POV
"I like you too," She said as she smiled. I let out a breath of air that I didn't realize I had been holding in.
"You're the perfect friend," She beamed. My heart sank.
No worries Payton...you can fix this....she just misunderstood. FUCK. I can't do it. Did she friendzone me? Did she know what I meant and just friendzoned me.
Ashley's POV
I watched his face drop as I spoke.
Did he not mean as friends?
"Payton?" I looked up at him, "Did you not mean as friends?"
He took a deep breath, "No, Ashley, I have feelings for you."
I stopped moving
Payton? Payton likes me? ME?
He's my friend...but I'm not sure now
"I- I don't know how I feel," I said.
"That's okay! At least I'm a little less friendzoned than I thought." He laughed softly.
Well this is awkward.
"I- I'm sorry," I said, looking down, "I'm just not really sure. I've never really thought of you like that before."
He took my hands, causing me to look up at him, "It's okay, Ash. It really is. I'm not going to pressure you in any way," He gave a sweet smile. "Let's just eat and enjoy the rest of the night, okay."
I felt oddly safer after the quick talk.
I don't think I have feelings for him. I've come to that conclusion multiple times when I asked myself before, but somehow I'm questioning our relationship again.
The waiter came back to the table and we ordered our food and talked. It was awkward at first, but we quickly went back to normal. It didn't feel that weird.
Our food arrived and we ate and giggled through our conversation.
"So, I was planning on dropping you off at home, and you can get a swimsuit and we go swimming?" He said as he drove towards my house, "But if you don't want to that's okay too."
"That sounds great," I smiled at him as he pulled into my driveway.
I hopped out of the car and went inside. I changed into a cute bikini and put on a pretty pink coverup, and walked back down stairs.
