I rubbed my forehead as I sat up on my bed feeling dizzy. My head was killing me all the while I was trying to remember what last night was all about. I tried for few minutes before I gave up and went in for a warm shower.
I massaged my forehead as I walked down the stairs feeling lazy. The only thing I remembered about last night was I was drinking, annoyed with Edwin. I didn't know Edwin would be there but I felt my stomach making a somersault, the moment I saw him. The last time I checked, I never had any feels like that.
I felt my cheeks getting warm thinking about it.
"What are you blushing about?" I heard a voice beside me and it was my dear brother, who was grinning at me.
"Why would I tell you?" I asked in a sing song voice.
"I thought it was about the kiss you had last night" he whispered leaning in.
"Whaaaat?" I tried to remember if I kissed someone last night but my mind was totally blank. I turned around getting serious but then it clicked, he was only mocking me when I saw him holding his laughter.
I glared at him and he bust out laughing.
"Fuck you!" I cussed.
"Language" my mom yelled storming out of the kitchen. She looked mad and irritated, Dad must have did something. He is in so much trouble.
"Ashley Corbett, you didn't tell me you were going to party, then you broke curfew and you drank so much that you were lying right outside the door" oh, so it was me. Let me rephrase that, I am in so much trouble. Mother earth please open up and swallow me.
I looked at my dad for some help but he just shook his head. Lucas was taking advantage of this situation to get out of the house, but he wasn't here for about four years to know mom well. She turned and glared at him, he groaned and made his way to the kitchen. I should mention that my mom never allows anyone out of the home till we all have lunch together.
My mom turned to me, "You are not gonna have sleep over at anyone's for a month"
"Mom, a month is too much time. How about a week?" I whined but my mom just walked away. Let the girls drown in misery without Ashley with them.
I definitely did something last night and not remembering that is making me anxious. I tried to remember while setting the table for lunch but all in vain.
My phone ringed and my screen showed 'Esmay'.
"Hey" I heard her cheerful voice from the other side.
"Do you have any plans?"
"It's Esmay you are speaking to. I always have plans"
"Right" I giggled.
"I will be right in front of your house in 15 mins" she hung up and I rushed to my room to take out an outfit.
I put on a dark green crop top to match my black ripped jeans and tied my hair in a pony tail.
I rushed down to finish my lunch, and I stuffed my sandwich in my mouth when I heard wheels rolling against the pavement. I grabbed my phone and waved to my mom before getting out.
I jumped in the back seat as Sua was already sitting in the front, while munching my sandwich.
"Where are we going?" I asked while scrolling through my Instagram and liking the pics without bothering to look at any of them.
"Shopping" Esmay said and Sua groaned.
"Don't we have any other good things to do?" I asked whiningly. I am not a shopping-loving-person. Just thinking about all the pain my leg is gonna take made me kinda sick.
"I would rather do my assignments than go shopping" Sua added which made Esmay glare at her.
"Holy shit, I have homeworks due today" I groaned.
Suddenly some image of Edwin's annoyed face crossed my brain. It was not any of my Aydan-pictures, it was strange and it looked real. I tried to remember that and realised that it was about last night.
Finally, I got something about the party. After thinking about it for a few minutes, I remembered the something which made me sit there with my lips apart and my eyes wide. What the fuck did I do? Ashley freaking Corbett, what were you thinking? Stupid me, I confessed to Edwin?
I was pretty sure that all the blood had drained out of my face and I must have looked really pale. How the hell will I be able to face him tomorrow?
"We're here" I heard Sua say bored and it sounded distant.
I stepped out and the evening breeze blew against my face. And just like that, thinking about the embarrassing me, we were done shopping. I just took out a shirt which I didn't even bother to look at it properly.
Lucas was laying on the couch watching 'Blacklist' from Netflix when I reached home. I sat next to him feeling stupid about my brave act last night.
"Are you coming home after seeing someone commit a murder?" He asked making a face.
"What?" I whispered, without turning to look at him.
"You look like you are about to collapse"
"At this point, I may" I said and grabbed my laptop to do my homeworks. I started it but obviously couldn't concentrate and all my focus was on Edwin's serious face after I confessed.
I gritted my teeth once in a while and everytime I did that, Lucas turned to me. I completed my assignments seventeen minutes before due.

I heard my mom yelling at my dad faintly and opened my eyes with a pain in my neck. I looked around and realised that I've fallen asleep on the coach. Aaah
I was little cheery till I remembered about the party. I got into a shower and put on a blue ripped jeans matching my white hoodie and black sneakers.
I got more and more pale on my way to school realising that I have too less time to face an awkward moment.
The first person I saw when I stepped out was the person who I never wanted to see. Edwin. Reagen saw me and waved at me. Oh god, Reagen never knows the right timing. I bit my lower lip in response wishing Edwin wouldn't notice Reagen waving at me. My rotten luck, he turned to me and caught my eye. He was wearing a grey shirt with black slash Jean looking just hot as ever with his hair pulled back. I felt my stomach giving me a weird feeling that I've been getting from last night. The bell rang and I took this chance to run to my class.
I was grateful that I had only two classes today and I already completed one of the classes by now. I took out the books from my locker when I saw Edwin coming towards me. Ok, I am really gonna pass out now.
"We have a lot to talk, right?" He whispered leaning in.
