Ashlynn. That was the name that was given to me at birth. Of course, I didn't hear it much these days, and before that too. My grandparents used to only call me Ashlynn, and my parents would call me Ash, unless they were pissed at me. My siblings didn't call me Ashlynn, but called me that when they were annoyed at me or want to annoy me. I would also hear it at school; substitute teachers, over the speaker, guest speakers, and people that didn't know me well.
Ash's story is a bit different from others, and not everyone found out his secret the way he wanted.
Not even his best friend, Lila, knew about his secret, and she found out in the worst way possible.
⚠️ this story is inspired, I read a book that is really similar to what will be going on in this story. ⚠️
Enjoy the story :3
"Riley?" I asked and she looked up from her phone. One of her eyebrows was raised.
"Yes?" she asked and that confirmed it.
I felt like I couldn't breathe. What the hell was going on here?
"Hi, I am Ash. Short for Ashley, but please call me Ash" I said, extending my hand. I sounded wooden and choked, but I didn't know what else to do. Riley's mouth dropped open; she smiled nervously, and shook her head. We both realized what this meant. Our "boys" weren't late. Both our dates had been on time.
"Uh...No, I...I am looking for a man," she explained.
I blushed. I felt so stupid.
