The Way Things Work

My name is Ashley Smith, I'm 16 years old and I live in Charlotte, NC. I'm a typical teenage girl....crushes, mean girls, you know, everyday stuff. As of now, I'm making my way down the sidewalk. I turn the curve and enter the school parking lot as I say, 'Another day' to myself....I brace myself and walk up to the double doors, following behind everyone else. I grip my hands around the straps of my backpack as my body is being shuffled and pushed around because of the other bodies around me. I eventually get out of the swarm of kids and start off to my class. "Hey, Ash!" I hear someone call behind me, I turn around and see my best friend, May. She has long brunette hair and chocolate brown eyes, and she's a joy to be around, and she's my best friend, but I'm still very defensive...., "Hey May, what's up?" I ask, as we make both walk to our first period class. "Guess what!" She says grinning "Wha-" "I hear Daniel broke up with Chelsea! eeeeeek!" "Seriously?" I ask, my green eyes as bright as can be, with my attention focused on May now. Daniel Sky has jet black hair, and is extremely attractive. And he's my crush....
