"Ash! Ash! ASHLEEEEEIGHHHHHHHHH!"
I awoke to see my little sister at the foot of my bed.
"What?" I said, still tired.
"We're gonna be lateeeee!" she replied, impatiently.
"For god's sake Ally, I'll get you to your stupid signing! Why did I agree to taking you?" I said, trying to push her out of my room.
"You didn't. Mum and dad made you, remember?"
"NO. Now GET OUT."
Truth be told, I did remember. Ally came running in a few days before, screeching about a signing that's happening in town, and all her little friends are going to be there, and it will ruin her 'reputation' if she doesn't get there. My first reaction was "There's no way in hell i'm driving you there."
Ally went running off into the kitchen, where I knew my parents were. Ten minutes later, the three of them came in and started saying stuff. I was unresponsive, until dad came and took my earphones out of my ears. "Hey!" I shouted, but he was in full dad mode. "I was just going to brief you about tomorrow, how me and your mother wont be in all day, because we're taking your sister to her signing.
But because you're so disrespectful to us, you can take her." A smile creeped onto Ally's face. "But.." I started to say. "No but's. You're taking her. Its only to her friend Chloe's house, then Chloe's mum will drive them into town." After a long sigh, and my mum's worst stern look, I said
"Fine. But one question, isn't Chloe a year older than you, like my age?". Ally gave me the dead eye and said "Shut up, Ashleigh. And stop calling me your 'little sister'. I'm only a year younger than you." Then she stormed off. "See you later little sis!" I said. Anyway, the day had arrived to take Ally. I pulled on the first clothes I found, a long t-shirt and leggings, put on a little makeup and put my hair into a messy bun. When I opened the door, Ally was stood there, tapping her watch. I pushed past her, went downstairs, and headed for the front door. I heard Ally come down a few seconds later and heard mum
saying her 'goodbyes'. I sighed and headed for the car. Just as I was getting in, I heard someone shout my name. "Ashleigh!" they said. I turned around and saw my neighbour Katy running towards me. "Hey, Katy!" I replied. Katy was always happy, no matter what. That was what I envied about her most. Oh, and her gorgeous hair. "What are you up to?" She said, happy as usual. "Just taking Ally
somewhere, as always." Katy nodded, and said "Ah. Well, i'll catch up with you later!" then went back home. Which only left Ally to be took. "ALLY!" I shouted, and instantly, Ally came out with her backpack on. "A backpack? seriously?" I asked. "Yes. It's all full of stuff I want to be signed!" It was the bulkiest backpack I had ever seen in my life. "Whatever, just get in" I said. As we were travelling to Chloe's house, I said "So who's this band you're going to see?" She looked disgusted, and said "Yeah, like you don't know!" I laughed, but seriously didn't know. Soon enough, we arrived at Chloe's house, and Ally went running in. Five seconds later, as I was about to drive off, a woman came running towards the car. She tapped on the window and signalled for me to put it down. I was hesitant, but realised
she was Chloe's mother. I rolled down the window and she began to ask something. "Ashleigh, can I ask you the biggest favour?" I should have saw it coming, but didn't. "Sure!" I replied. "Can you take the girls to their signing? It's just I have some urgent errands to run." Chloe's mother
was a lovely woman, and I didn't have the heart to disappoint her. "Of course, let them know" I said. Chloe's mother went back inside, and a minute later, Ally and Chloe got in the car. "Let's just get through this, okay?" I said. They nodded. A half hour later, we arrived. I said "go on then, go enjoy."
but they didn't move, at all. Then there was the awkward silence. Chloe broke it, however, by saying "Um, Ashleigh? We need you to come". "What, why?" I replied, the smile fading from my face. "They wont let us in with only two people. You only have to stand with us, though, nothing
else." Somehow they got me to go. I glanced up at the huge banner draping over the door. 'One Direction signing here today. No less than 3 people allowed in one group!'. Chloe and Ally both screamed as they entered. I said "For Pete's sake, you're both mature, sophisticated girls, so why do you have to embarrass yourse- Whoa."
They're in the next chapter, I promise you!
