Ashley looked over at the clock, only a few minutes after school. Ashley
let out a sigh of boredom and headed down stairs. She quickly went down the
stairs where she spotted Toby and Kate. Ashley smiled.
"Hey mom," Ashley greeted. Kate smiled as she continued washing dishes.
"Hey, Ash," She echoed back. Ashley stepped closer.
"How was your day?" Ashley asked nervously. Kate looked at her then back at the soapy dishes.
"Fine, yours?" Kate questioned. Ashley nodded.
"Fine"
"Anything on your mind?" Kate said sitting down the dishes and turning to Ashley as she sat her hand on the wet counter. Ashley softly gasped and smiled.
"Just a question," Ashley said sitting down on the cold stool keeping her eyes to Kate's. Kate's forehead bunched up as she joined Ashley at the table.
"And that might be?" Kate asked. Ashley hesitated to tell, but she soon did.
"I was wondering, since I'm older and more mature, can I maybe have a party?" Ashley said lifting her shoulders and squinting one eye eager and nervous of the answer. Kate let out a long sigh.
"As in the one you threw in the summer after graduation for grade 8?" Kate reminded her. Ashley rolled her eyes and let out a sigh of irritation as she stood up.
"Mom, I'm older! That party will never happen again, I may have been stupid then, but I'm not stupid enough to not learn from my mistakes," Ashley said trying to convince her mom it wouldn't be the same. Kate also stood to her feet.
"It must be chaperoned," Kate limited. Ashley groaned.
"Mom, then it will be stupid! It's not a grade 4 birthday celebration!" Ashley argued.
"Ash, how do I know you'll behave yourself as well as your guests?" Kate asked biting her lip.
"Oh I get it, you don't trust me"
"Ash, I don't want anything to happen"
"No, you don't want me to have fun"
"Ashley, tell me, how do I know this wont get out of hand?" Ashley bit her lip. She knew one thing that couldn't get around Kate. It would be drastic. Ashley didn't want to do it! It was almost as worse as having Kate and Jeff there.... but not quite! Ashley had to do it or else, no party. No fun. No night of freedom.
"Toby can tattle on anything I do.. he can attend," Ashley groaned at the suggestion. Kate let out a noise between a sigh and a chuckle as she stepped closer.
"Deal"

The two arrived at Jimmy's. Spinner's shirt still had the faint black marker on it.
"You'll never get it out Spin," Jimmy chuckled as they walked into the house. Jimmy stopped Spinner dead in his track. "Dude, shoes, off, now!" Jimmy said pointing at the carpet. Spinner shrugged slipping his shoes off on the hard surface. Spinner put his backpack on the smooth table as he took out his dry clothes.
"I'm gonna go change in the bathroom," Spinner said as he hurried to Jimmy's bathroom. Jimmy nodded as he entered his room to change into his clothes. After the two did they ended up on the couch watching the game. The two were so focused, they didn't hear the doorbell ring. Spinner suddenly heard it and bumped Jimmy's arm as his eyes stayed glued to the TV. "Pizza," Spinner managed to say. Jimmy nodded.
"They can hold on," Jimmy said. The doorbell rang again. Jimmy let out a annoyed sigh and ran to the door. Spinner could hear the two talking but paid no attention. Soon, Jimmy entered the room. Spinner could smell the pizza. As he arrived, Jimmy saw Spinner jump to his feet screaming 'score!' Jimmy pulled Spinner down to the couch.
"Dude, settle down," Jimmy said. He opened up the box and took out a piece as did Spinner. Spinner immediately started scrafing it down. "Spin, what do you think about Ash?" Jimmy said sitting the pizza back in the box. Spinner chewed constantly.
"Smelly," Spinner said his eyes fixed on the screen. Jimmy scooted away looking at Spinner confused.
"What?" Jimmy asked. Spinner took his eyes from the TV.
"You asked me what do I think about trash, it's smelly! Why are you having some kind of encounter?" Spinner weirdly asked. Jimmy rolled his eyes.
"I said 'ASH' not 'TRASH'," Jimmy corrected. Spinner shrugged.
"I always thought of her as Paige's shadow, but now she LOOKS like a shadow," Spinner said.
"I can't get over her"
"What's to get over?"
"Spin, she's like, irresistible"
"No, Paige is irresistible. Ashley is just irritable"
"Shut up. I like her, but she don't like me"
"Then what can you do?" Jimmy let his face fall into his hands as he let out a long sigh.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Craig jumped up and opened the door, cautiously. There stood Ashley. Standing there smiling, which was obviously contagious because soon, Craig smiled too.
"It's done raining," Craig noticed. Ashley nodded.
"Yeah," Ashley said looking above her.
"You here to see me?" Craig grinned. Ashley shook her head.
"Um, I came to see Amya," Ashley corrected. Craig nodded in disappoint meant as he led Ashley into the house. Ashley stood there as Amya turned to see her. Amya grinned as she came to her feet, and walked over to where Ashley stood.
"Hey!" Amya said happily. Ashley chuckled a little.
"Hey," she repeated.
"Sit down," Amya said sitting down on the couch, as did Ashley. Ashley smiled in excitement. "I see it in your eyes Ash, spill!" Amya demanded.
"I talked to mom about the party," Ashley started, "she said yes!" Ashley confessed. Amya yipped in excitement. Craig soon walked over to the two licking the soda off his lips.
"You alright?" Craig asked Amya. Amya chuckled.
"Yeah," Amya answered. Craig nodded.
"I was just telling Amya the party I'm throwing! You're invited," Ashley nervously said, half asking. Craig tilted his head from one side to another frowning his lips.
"I'll be there," Craig said. Ashley stood up.
"It's a date," Ashley smiled. Craig shook his head.
"It's THE date"
