Want It, Can't Have It.
(Post-Rising)
The sun danced on the lake like glitter, the water rippling with every pebble that skimmed the surface. The clouds broke up to reveal blue skies, something that was quite rare in Buffalo, New York. Not like I saw much of the outside world being stuck in Lyle House. Pennsylvania was nice, but we didn't stay for long, we never stayed anywhere for long.
Hopefully this was permanent for a couple more years.
My eyes never left the spot of water where my stone had just sunk, my eyes beginning to blur. "It's not normal, he's disgusting, I know. Forget I said anything."
"Shouldn't you be consulting that dead girl with the same last name as my sister?" Ash's gaze hit me. "She is a girl."
I rolled my shoulders, our eyes meeting. "She'll tell Chloe, and Chloe shouldn't know about my attack."
"And I won't tell Chloe?"
"No, because then I'll spark you."
A laugh escaped him, echoing through our empty surroundings. "If I didn't know what 'spark' meant, I would be so terrified."
A smile spread across my face, the sun nearly blinding me. "Loving the sarcasm, Jerk."
"I like this new you, your comebacks are so bad I don't actually think a five year old you use them."
I pushed him harder than normal, the playful part of me disappearing.
What was the real reason I went to Ash for advice? Ash always changed the subject when it came to girly stuff like crushes and things like that. It gave me time to push the thought aside, then come back to it and think 'what the hell was I thinking?'
Ash wasn't my friend, and he never would be. It was just the fact he was there.
It wasn't like he didn't know what he was doing, he knew, and he knew this was exactly what I wanted.
But, to be honest, the sarcasm was just because he was a jerk. He deserved to be shot with an energy ball.
Author's Note: I know, she was out-of-character. But... meh...
I take requests. That means, if you want me to write a scene from her point of view, I'll do it (and of course dedicate it to you, and advertise one story of yours).
Please review! Next chapter will be up by the fourth of August (next Monday) (London time) if I get two reviews. It will be up Sunday (third of August) if I get five reviews.
Get reviewing!
