I stumbled and nearly fell through the door. I came home thirty minutes ago and I couldn't take my mind off the kiss. I knew he kissed me because of those drugs but it felt ....nice.

I screamed some stupid things at him in nervousness. I didn't know why I said stuff like that. I said that he stole my first kiss and immediately regretted it.

Lucas was messing around with me till he got a call. I didn't know what he heard from that call but his face fell and he went to sleep immediately.

I woke up with a heavy head in the morning. I went down to to the living room after brushing my teeth and just lay on the couch. I felt like I haven't slept. I searched for my brother but he was nowhere to be seen. I shut my eyes and began to fall asleep when a unknown call interrupted me.

I answered the call and I realised the voice as soon as I heard it. It was Edwin.

"Hey! Get ready in 20 minutes. I will come to pick you up". With that said, he hung up the phone right away. Wtf.

It took a minute for me to realise what he had just said. He would be here to pick me up? And in just twenty minutes? I looked like a piece of shit.

I took two steps at a time while running to my room. I bumped into something on my way and that 'something' was my brother.
He laughed as I fell down, despite his moody face.

"Where are you running to?" He asked grumpily.

"Meeting a ....... er friend" I said hesitantly and noticed that he was dressed up . "What about you?" I added as I dusted off my clothes.

He looked at me for a second and said, "same" with a frown forming in his face. Bro what is that for?

I checked the wall clock and noticed I only had fifteen more minutes. "Oh shit,you are wasting my time. Move away!" I yelled at him and ran to my room.

I searched my wardrobe for a proper outfit and found a brown over sized knit sweater with a dark olive green cargo pocketed joggers. I brushed my hair and smiled at myself in the mirror.I heard a car honk impatiently and frowned, I waved him from my window and got no response but another honk. I went down and saw my mom peeking through the door. Shit.

She reached him before I could even open my mouth and I followed her with my backpack.

"Hi, I don't think I know you. Do I?" my mom asked Edwin and he smiled a little. Wow my first time watching him smile.

"Nope, Mrs.Corbett. I've met Ashley just two days ago" he said and looked at me. His gaze lingered on me for a minute and it was sure he was checking me out. Man, seriously?

"Oh, and please call me Claire" she paused for a second looking at his face and turned to me, "Don't scare him off with your stupid rambling".

Edwin laughed out loud, "Don't worry Mrs.Corb- Claire, I wouldn't be afraid anymore as she just did that last night" he said and winked at me. I gave him a are-you-serious face and immediately blushed at the thought of the kiss.
