Ashley's POV
"Where the heck were you guys?" Tessa asked, as she jumped off the swing.
"We just went to the other swingset," I tilted my head towards the other side of the park as I kicked my leg forward, causing wood chips to tumble forward as some of them scattered onto the toe of my sneakers.
"Oh I didn't even see that before," Brent said as he extended his head to the side to look around the main playset at the swings.
"Yeah I didn't either. Payton's the one who pointed it out when I was complaining about you guys taking both the swings," I laughed, tapping the tip of my toe on the ground to shake off any on the wood chips that had attached themselves to my shoe.
"Are we ready to go now?" Angelica said as she dragged her feet against the ground to stop the swing.
"Yeah sure," I answered as I walked over to the picnic table we were sitting at earlier. I picked up all of the leftover wrappers and tossed them into a nearby garbage can. A cold breeze swept through the air and I pulled my sleeves over my fingertips. That's when I realized that I was still in Payton's jacked. I slipped off the denim, and walked over to Payton, "Here's your jacket, sorry I forgot I was wearing it," I laughed lightly.
"Oh thanks," He smiled and took it from me as he carefully strung his arms through the jacket, "How about you follow the dress code next time," He chuckled as he adjusted the collar.
"I thought there would be an exception because of my amazing egg shorts," I laughed, "Thanks for helping me out though."
"No problem," He smiled.
I grabbed my skateboard and everyone else proceeded to follow behind me as we skated down the sidewalk.
"Where are we going to go now," I looked back at the others as the wind flew through my hair, threading through different strands and blowing across my face.
"I just wanna go home," Tessa whined.
"Yeah me too," Cole added.
"Me three," Brent said.
"I'm gonna have to agree," Angelica sighed.
"Aww but I wanted to stay out," I whined.
"I'm down to keep hanging out. Icecream?" Payton smiled.
"We just ate though," I laughed.
"There's always room for ice cream," He raised his eyebrows.
"If you're paying I'm down."
"Yeah, yeah," He laughed.
"If you guys are going to the shop, you have to turn at the next street," Brent pointed over at the intersection ahead of us.
"Aight, bye guys see you later then," I held up my hand in a peace sign as I looked back in front of me, gliding across the pavement.
Payton and I took the turn as my friends all shouted their from behind us.
"Bye!" We echoed back.
I took a deep breathe and just listened to the wheels of the skateboard slide across the harshly pathed path. Before I knew it, my eyes landed on the ice cream parlor in front of me. I planted my foot on the ground and the skateboard came to a stop.
Payton rolled up besides me and stepped off his board. He stepped on the end of it and picked it up, I did the same.
After ice cream, Payton invited me to his house so we were sitting on his bed playing red hands.
(a/n: That's the game where person 1 puts their hands palms up, and person 2 puts their hands palm down on top of person 1's hands. And person one tries to slap person 2's hands.)
"Damn you got me again, " I muttered, gently rubbing my hands to stop them from stinging, "I'm over this can we play something else." I threw my arms in the air and flopped onto my back and stared at the ceiling.
"Well what do you want to do instead?" He asked, laying down next to me.
(a/n: before peyton says it, no he will not be cHoKiNg her)
"I don't know," I sighed, looking at him.
He looked back at me and gave the sweetest smile, which caused a smile to creep onto my face as well. We made eye contact for a couple of seconds, electricity bouncing between out eyes. The sound of the doorknob turning. Payton and I both turned our attention to the door as it opened, revealing Serenity in the doorway.
What the fuck are you doing here?
Didn't you have shit to do?
"Oh. Hey Ashley? I didn't think you'd be here," She smiled and walked over to the bed and laid down next to Payton, her arms curling around his torso and her head resting on his chest. I felt my stomach twist.
"I thought you had a family thing," Payton replied, reaching his arm over her shoulder.
"I did, but it ended so I came to visit you. I didn't know Ashley was over," She said as she lifted her head.
"Yeah I hung out with the group since you cancelled but everyone went home so it was just me and Ashley now."
"I can leave if you guys want," I said nervously sitting up.
Payton took his phone out of his pocket. "It's already almost 11 and we have school, both of you should probably head home, now that I mention it."
"Oh...Okay," Serenity mumbled.
"Sorry Ren, it's just bad timing," He frowned as she stood up.
Whelp at least he's kicking us both out.
Boring ass and kind of short chapter, but it's okay because there will be a lot more progression next chapter so stay tuned for that.
