Chapter three. This isn't a super important chapter, just some nice spashley fluff.

-

I'm sitting in Aidens living room with Kyla and Ashley.

His house is nice.

Clean.

Neat.

Its bigger than mine.

His car is really nice

He is the most popular boy at our school and he wants to date me.

Me.

I should be ecstatic, but for some reason I'm not.

Aiden and I are sitting on his couch. I, on one end, he on the other. Kyla is sitting in the chair and Ashley is leaning against her legs.

We are watching 'Knocked up"

I realize that my throat is super dry. "Do you have anything to drink?" I ask pretty boy.

"Oh, yeah. Help yourself to the fridge." He smiles at me.

"Okay, thanks" I get up and walk into the kitchen.

This is such a bust.

Too bad Glen had to be a flake and not come.

I open the fridge and it is full of soda's and juices. I spot a Sunny D and take it. I close the fridge and lean my back against it.

"Hey" Ashley says out of nowhere.

Oh god, not now.

"Hi" I say quietly, pondering my next choice of words. I can never get my words right when I'm around her.

"Having fun?"

"I guess" I shrug.

"Wanna get out of here?" She asks seriously,

"What about Aiden?" I ask.

"C'mon. You're date isn't until Friday" She gently bumps me with her hip.

A large grin forms on my lips and I just look at her.

"Please? I'll make it worth your time" She says seductively. I wonder if she even know she is being overly seductive?

"" I set my drink on the counter and she smiles at me.

"I knew you couldn't resist me." She does this cute little skip thing out of the kitchen.

I shake my head and laugh.

I follow her in hot pursuit.

-

I haven't been here that long, so when Ashley asks me if I want to go to Pearl Street, I have no clue what she was talking about.

She here we are, standing at the end of Pearl Street. Its like an outdoor mall that goes on for like 4 blocks or something.

"This is the coolest place in town, besides The Hill, of course" She states while getting out of the car.

"The Hill?" I ask.

"Yeah, its this place with tons of cool shops by CU." She points in the general direction of where it is.

"Ah"

"Yeah"

"So, Aiden huh?" She says playfully.

"Yeah"

"You don't sound very thrilled."

"I am, I mean, I- He's nice" I spit out and I feel my face getting hot.

"Uh-huh" She smirks at me and I simply look away.

We walk down Pearl Street and I'm pretty sure I have never seen so many hippies in one place at one time. We walk into a store called 'Crystal Dragon'. Right as we walk in I immediately notice the intense smell of incense. I notice a wall full of buttons and stickers and we walk over to it. "See any you like?" She asks.

"Um" I scan the wall. I see one that is a peace sign. "The peace sign is pretty cool."

"I agree" She says and I look at her.

Her hair is just laying on her shoulders. Its straightened and perfect looking. Her skin looks flawless and her clothes fit perfectly on her body.

I'm not going to lie, I'm a little jealous.

"See something you like?" She says in a husky, low voice.

I flush red.

"Um"

"Are you blushing?" She says half way in between and laugh and a snort.

"No" I turn away and walk towards the back of the store.

I find the section with all the posters and of course, there are a hundred of Bob Marley and his Mary Jane.

Was she hitting on me?

Stop thinking that, she is a girl and so are you.

I feel her presence beside me even before I see her standing next to me. "I just kidding you know"

I look at her surprised that she is apologizing. She doesn't need to give one, but she does anyways.

"You don't have to apologize" I look at her and she is staring at her shoes.

"I wanted to"

Before I comprehend what I am doing, my hand is reaching towards her chin and the moment my fingers touch her skin, I get the butterflies. I ignore them and lift her chin up so that we are looking each other face to face.

"Turn that frown upside down" I smirk at her and I see her trying not to laugh. I remove my hand and smile at her.

"You are a dork" She playfully swings at my arm.

"I know"

We laugh and we walk out of the store.

The party with Aiden is looking less and less interesting.

Simplet77: Yes, Hey Monday is awesome! And yeah, there is a reason. I'll be getting into that soon enough, so be patient. Ashley and Kyla were all over each other because they are all good friends that's how's it been since they can remember. Ya know, living up to the standards people have put upon them. And no, Aiden isn't a bball playa in this story.
