Ashley's POV

******************

The next day, Ashley got up to find Paige already settled in. Ashley went downstairs, and heard Toby and Paige talking.

"Hey Toby." Ashley said completly ignoring Paige's presence. "Where's mom?" She asked.

"Out, they won't be back by the time you and Jimmy got out on your date." Toby replied.

"How'd you find out about that?" Ashley asked, upset.

Paige smirked.

Ashley could not believe Paige was telling Toby about Ashley's personal life. She had no right. Especially since it was Ashley's house, and she, more to the point her mom, humbly invited her in, to stay. FOR FOUR WEEKS!

"Hun, you better start getting ready for your date." Paige said.

"Why? It isn't until 7:00." Ashley said, irritated.

"Well, considering how you look now, you can't possibly tell how long it'll take to get you even looking half-way decent." Paige said.

Toby laughed, and Ashley grabbed Toby by the arm and took him into the other room.

"I'm your big sister, and if you disrespect me again, I will make sure Paige knows about your shrine to her." Ashley said.

"What shrine?" Toby asked.

"The one I'll make up." Ashley replied.

Toby's face went from a smile to a frown. Ashley smiled and walked outside into the fresh air.

She glanced both ways and saw Ellie coming up the sidewalk.

"Is it in there?" Ellie asked, referring to Paige.

"Yes. UNFORTUNATLY!" Ashley replied.

"Sorry, well, here's a note Craig gave me to give to you, from Jimmy." Ellie said.

Ellie placed the note in Ashley's hand and walked off.

Ashley slowly opened the note. It read:

Dear Ashley,

The movie we were going to see is sold out for 7:00, so I'll pick you up at 4:00 for the earlier show. Is that alright? If not, call me.

Jimmy.

Ashley traced Jimmy's letters. Of course it was okay too meet earlier! Less time she'd have to spend with Paige. Ashley turned around, and bumped into Paige, who seemed to be reading over Ashley's shoulder.

"Awww, Jimmy probably just wants to spend more time with the druggie." Paige said.

"At least I can get Jimmy, and not...oh, that's right, you have NOBODY!" Ashley said.

"Actually, I have Craig." Paige said.

"You probably paid him to go out with you." Ashley replied, anger building up inside her.

"Why would I need too? He has enough money and interest in me anyway." Paige said.

"Whatever. I realized something, you do have an admirer." Ashley said. "J.T! A STUPID 8TH GRADER!" Ashley screamed and walked inside.

She ran up into her room and locked the door, tears streaming down her face. How dare Paige call her a druggie? How dare she read Ashley's private business over her shoulder? How dare she be such a snob? How dare she not forgive Ashley for a mistake she made.

Ashley had to admit, she missed Paige and Terri and Hazel. They were her friends, no matter how mean they could be, Ashley still missed them. At least she still had Jimmy.

Paige's POV

******************

When Ashley walked away from Paige, Paige could see the tears streaming down Ashley's face. Paige had to admit, she'd been cruel to call Ashley a druggie. Real cruel. Sometimes Paige wished she could just be friends with Ashley again. Then that voice in her head called back "Ecstacy..."

If Paige could've known the pain Ashley was in, she would've helped her. But Paige couldn't see that. Maybe she never would.

Please review! Also: To all the JT fans, Ashley said he was stupid because in Ashley's eyes she views him as very immature, and the reason for Ashley losing all her friends, since JT brought the drugs to the party.
