I'm Yours, Be Mine.

Chapter 1

Hi my name is Ashley Hutcherson, I am 13 years old and I am from Perth. My life is pretty shit right now. Why I hear you ask? Wait... Scratch that. That sounds so gay. Ugh I don't know how to let all my feelings out. I don't know how to describe my emotions. I don't know how I'm supposed to live my life! But I guess I could start by telling you why my life is shit. Well three years ago my parents decided move to Africa. I'm kidding we moved to New York. I had always wanted to visit New York. Visit, not live. I hated it there. I missed my friends, I missed the house and I missed my whole life.

We only recently just moved back to Perth because of the accident. We don't talk about it at all at home so I don't really have anyone to talk to. All my old friends have moved on, so now I'm the "new girl" again. Oh the joys. I wish we could have stayed back in New York, I was beginning to like it their, but of course when I start to like something, it's taken away. Just like my twin sister, Tahlia. We never got on as kids, always arguing, like every kid does with their siblings, but we were different. We were more... I don't know how to explain in. Brutal? Violent? We would beat each other up. She even got me sent to hospital once for cracking my head open! But New York changed everything. We began to get along, we even became the best of friends. Until the accident that is. I don't really want to talk about it because it wasn't that long ago and I haven't really accepted the fact that she's gone.

First day of school today! Yay! Note the heavy sarcasm. I really don't want to go. I'm sure the whole school will probably know about the accident and keep asking me about it and giving me their fake condolences. But I don't think it will be too bad. I mean my best friend from grade 5 or something came by the other day, so I think we're friends again. Well I hope so. Anyway.

I hate Mondays even more now! Got THE worst subjects! PE, science, s&e, English, math and drama! Am I on prank patrol or something? Ugh. Well I'm "assigned a guide" who is supposedly around my age. But one thing I do know about him, he's very late! Neil Gorman I think his name is. Sounds ugly. Omg who is this guy? He is like a piece of the sun he is that hot!

"Hi I'm Niall Horan." He said as he shook my hand. He doesn't sound ugly at all. And his accent. Wow it sounds like I'm fangirling over a guy I just met... That's awkward.

"Hi I'm Ashley." I said quietly.

"That's a pretty name. It matches your face." He said winking. Is he trying to flirt with me? Flirt. With. ME?! I'm probably reading him wrong, like most guys I've dated.

"Um thanks." Oh god now I'm blushing.

"So what classes do you have today?" He asked as he read my timetable. "Oh cool seems that I'm in most of your classes." He said grinning widely. Guess my grades are gonna be shit this year. So he showed me around and I got to skip PE thank god for that! And we headed off the science. Just as we were about to walk in, Niall pulled my aside, pushed my against the wall and furiously started kissing me. Lol I wish. He just whispered in my ear to watch out for the teacher. Apparently he's a perv. Great.

(At Lunch)

"Ashely? Is that you?" No way!

"OMG Miranda!!! I've missed you sooooo much!!!" I squealed running over to give her a hug.

"I've missed you too! I can't believe your back!" Miranda was my best friend all through primary school and we still kept in contact while I was in New York.

"Me either! I've missed everything so much! Except for the heat... Hate the heat." I said joining Miranda and Niall laughing.

"So how was New York? Was it amazing? Did you get any sleep?" She asked sounding serious. But I couldn't help but laugh at her last question. I think she legit believed that New York was the city that never sleeped along with the people in it.

"It was alright I guess. And of course I slept! Silly!" I laughed slapping her playfully.

"So how is everyone? The fam I mean."

I think she saw that it was the wrong question to ask. "I'm so sorry Ashley. I forgot. I didn't me-"

"It's fine chill don't worry." I interrupted. It was a bit awkward for a while.

"So um I see you met my boyfriend, Niall. It's our 1 year anniversary on Wednesday!" She said hugging Niall. "Did you know that he's auditioning for XFactor? But the UK one. His family is moving there soon. Aww I'm going to miss you NiNi!" she said kissing him. Great my best friend dating the guy I sorta-kinda-no-idea like. This is going to be a long year.
