"Ash? What was that?" Terri called from down the halls. Ashley fixed her
eyes ahead of her as Terri echoed. Terri yelled again. "Ash!" Ashley turned
around facing her.
"Talk," Ashley said tipping her head as Terri caught her breath. Terri looked at her as she gave out one last huff.
"What was that back there?" Terri repeated. Ashley shook her head.
"I don't know what you mean"
"Ash, are you upset at something? Terri asked.
"It's just, Craig and I are like so close, and I thought he would have told me"
"Ash, c'mon. it's not a big deal!"
"To me it is! I want him to feel he can talk to me about anything!" Ashley said looking up at the ceiling. Terri shook her head as she chuckled. Terri took out a blue slip from her pocket and handed it to Ashley. Ashley glared at the note then set her eyes on Terri. Ashley took the note as if it were a new thing to her. Terri smiled and walked off. Ashley turned and watched Terri walk away. She took her attention back to the note and tucked it in her binder as she walked over to class.

Ashley bit into her sandwich but then soon put it down. Alone she sat staring at her painted nails and dark clothes. She thought about Craig. Was she really over reacting or were they growing apart? Ashley glanced over at her binder where the blue slip was hidden. She carefully took the binder and silently slipped the note from under the black folder. As she started to open it Jimmy sat next to her.
"What's that?" He asked with a smirk on his face. She shook her head and inserted it back into her folder.
"Nothing," she stated.
"What are you doing tonight?" Jimmy asked bumping his shoulder against hers. Ashley was sort of shocked at the question she hesitated to look directly at him, fear of his eyes. But now, she wasn't worried to find something unexpected. She looked over at him and smiled.
"I don't know," Ashley widened her smile.
"How about a movie, get your mind off everything," Jimmy said. Ashley thought she seen Jimmy's eyes ease closer, falling into hers. She swallowed hard and answered.
"Maybe," Ashley said standing up with the smile. She grabbed her binder and her trash. "Call me, if you still have my number," Ashley winked walking away. Jimmy chuckled to himself as he stood up walking the other way.

"Emma, can you help me with this assignment. it sucks," Sean said catching up with his girlfriend Emma and her friend Manny. Emma shook her head.
"Sean, you know I have to go shopping with Mom tonight. She wants me to help her pick out clothes for the new baby since I'm dealing with it too," Emma sighed. Sean through his hand through his hair as he let out a groan. "Ask one of your buddies to help you," Emma suggests. Sean gives her a look.
"Their dumber than me"
"Sean, I can't help you tonight, I'm sorry," Emma repeated. Manny stood up to the plate.
"Craig has like, a B+ in Mr. Simpson's class. ask him," Manny suggests. Sean lets out a smile.
"Thanks Manny," Sean yips. Manny and Emma laugh a little.
"Good luck," Emma calls. Emma turns to Manny and starts to walk slowly towards the school. "I hope Craig can help him," Emma states. Manny nods.
"He will I know Craig. He was my boyfriend at one point," Manny laughed at the thought.
"Maybe Craig could help him with relationship skills too," Emma says looking away. Manny's eyebrows suddenly slant.
"What'd you mean?" Manny asked. Emma took her eyes to the ground.
"He isn't as. how do I put this.. Romantic, as he use to be," Emma said moving her head from side to side. Manny bit her lip.
"Its Sean, he isn't the lovey-dovey type," Manny reassured her. Emma stopped and looked at her.
"Manny, maybe we shouldn't be more than friends," Emma said as if she was guessing. Manny looked at her. Manny shook the thought out of her mind.
"Let's get to class, okay?"
