What happens when good girls go bad? The unthinkable.
Honor student , responsible , worker are three words to describe me. I'm 18 years old in my senior year of high school , I have never smoked , or done drugs and haven't been to one party . Ask anyone about me and they will say that I'm a goody two shoes , goes by the rules no matter how strict and I always do my homework , and its never in late.
It's crazy how one person could change you completely , almost into someone you don't even remember.
My best friend since middle school , Kate , decides to take me to a party , I don't even know what I'm doing there, I know I don't belong here. Theres people hooking up everywhere, to escape from these wild , sexcrazed people I want to go somewhere safe , I seek outside and there he is. The guy who makes my heart skips a beat , my palms are shaking , i just stand there starring at Sam . I could agree to everything and anything with him.. and thats what happens. When i wake up the next morning , I'm not in my bed , I'm not home . I'm in a cheap run down hotel , the guy I'm in love with , Sam is lying right beside me , shirtless , I don't dare to look under the cover , then I think to myself what the hell did I do last night ?!
Ashley has always done whats she told , never argued. Honor student , hard worker . Hasn't hooked up with anyone , hasn't had a boyfriend. When one night happens , one big party that her friend begs her to go to, the only night she lets go , lets go of her worries , goes with everything anyone says , her world goes upside down. the next day shes not home , not in her bed . Then the question is what did she do last night ?
