Chapter 3
"So where are you staying?" Jason asked at dinner that night. They were out at The Ship.
"At the Hammond Hotel," Ashley said. "Ya. Cool. Isn't that the hotel that was built after that famous castle?" Jason asked.
"Ya. It is in Massachusetts. I used to live there. I hated it there," Ashley said quickly. "Oh. School here isn't that bad," Andrew said.
"You wouldn't survive a day in my old school. You had to be friends with this person or you had to sit with the geeks. I sat with the seventh graders when i was in sixth. I hung out with eigth graders. The sixth graders were horrible," Ashley explained. "Dang," Andrea said.
"It wasn't so bad. I played football with the boys. My closest friend was a boy named Jason. I had one friend, Jessica. She moved to Canada. So i hang out with the boys. My dad owned a race car. My uncle shared it with him. I hung out with mechanics. I hung out with racers and girls hated drag racing. Even boys I knew didn't like it. I was the outcast," Ashley spilled. Niki nodded her head. "So. You glad you moved?" Andy asked quietly.
"Ya," Ashley said looking at him. "Do you have a phone number?" Andi asked.
"Ya. my cell is 647-454-7739," Ashley said writing it down.
*** At the other end of the table, Mr. Carson, Alex and Dean were talking about bikes. "So does Ash still like motocross like she used to?" Dean asked.
"No. Now she is into drag racing. Our dad used to do it and she is really good. Next year, she might stop doing motocross," Alex said. "How long have you been racing motocross?" Mr. Carson asked.
"'Bout, twelve years." Alex stated. "Who got you into it?" Mr. carson asked.
"My dad. He used to do it for fun when he was little so I do it. Our aunts hate it when we do it. Ashley almost broke her back when ten people crashed. But, in drag racing, fire came out of the muffler on the motor and burned her arms. Luckily, she survived them," Alex explained. "Wow," Dean stated.
***
At about six o'clock, Alex, Ashley and Niki said their goodbyes. "See you at the races next week," Mr. Carson said to them.
"Bye," Ashley and Niki yelled back.
***
When they got to their hotel room, they found Chris sitting on the couch. "Sorry but Phoebe said you forgot this and to give it to you," Chris explained to Ashley. It was her labtop.
"Thanks," she said turning it on. To her surprise, Jen and Jake were on. ( Jake = demonhunter5 and Jen = fireball54 and Ashley = motoXchic665)
motoXchic665: hey waz up. how's everything. demonhunter5:good. fireball54: good did alex get the tickets? motoXchic665: yup they will be here in a week or two. demonhunter5: kool gtg bye demonhunter5 has signed off fireball54: can i ask u sumthin motoXchic665: u just did! fireball54: do u think Jake is kinda cute? motoXchic665: he is our friend but ya. i met a boy up at the race today and he is so hot!! fireball54: wat does he look like motoXchic665: he is 'bout 5'6" and has blonde hair and blue eyes. fireball54: wow! motoXchic665: ya and he wanted me to go to the movies tomorrow fireball54: u aren't lieing motoXchic665: nope fireball665: have u told piper? motoXchic665: no. she will be the last one to find out. fireball54: i'm sry i gtg bye motoXchic665: bye fireball54 has signed off
Little did she know, Chris was standing behind her, reading the whole chat. "You met a boy?" Chris asked. Ashley almost peed her pants.
"What!You scared me. Yes, I have. Please don't tell Piper," Ashley pleaded, looking at her cousin. "I won't. I promise. If she finds out, I did not know one thing about this," he said calmly. Ashley got up and hugged her cousin. (Piper knew about Chris at this time)
"Thank you," she said. "I have to go," he said and orbed out. Ashley went to her room that she shared with Niki.
"Hey. You want to go to the arcade?" Ashley asked grabbing twenty dollars from her purse. "Ya. Sure," Niki said putting the J14 magazine she was reading down.
***
When they got to the arcade, Ashley got tokiens. "I love pinball!" Niki exclaimed.
"Ya. Come on. I want to play the 'South Park' one before we have to go back upstairs," Ashley replied as they headed to the pinball machines. They played other games too while they were there. By the time they were ready to go back to the room, they each had a super bouncy ball, a deck of 'South Park' cards, and one big bag of keychains.
***
When they got back to the room, Alex was pacing the room. "Where the hell did you guys go. I was worried sick!" Alex screamed at them. Ashley walked over to the coffee table which had a note on it.
"We left a note saying we were gonna be at the arcade," Ashley replied shoving the note in his hands. "Oh," he said as he read the note. Ashley and Niki walked out of the room and put their stuff on their bed.
"God. He was paranoid," Niki said grabbing a hair brush. "I know. He usually doesn't care if we run off. Something's up," Ashley stated.
"It is kinda creepy," Niki said turning on Jlo first cd. Ashley started singing to "Waiting For Tonight" in Spanish. After it was over, she paused the cd. "You should become a singer. You are really good. God. You can sing in Spanish, English, and even Italian. We should make a band. I know some kids that can play other instruments. You can still play the guitar. I can play the drums. It would be fun," Niki said.
"You are right. Okay. I'm in," Ashley said hugging Niki. Niki went through her closet to show her what she was going to wear tomorrow. Ashley said the light blue jeans and the 'Simple Plan' shirt went good together. Niki said that the dark blue jeans and the 'Blink 182' shirt went good together. "If I tell you something, would you promise you wouldn't laugh?" Ashley asked grabbing a comb.
"I wouldn't," Niki replied. "I kinda have a crush on Jake," Ashley admitted.
"I thought you liked Andrew," Niki said. "I do but I also like Jake," Ashley said.
"Well, you better pick one. I know Jake and Jen know about our power but Andrew is really into you," Niki said quietly. "I think you are right. I may have a crush on Jake but I like Andrew a lot more," Ashley said turning off the light. Just then her cell phone started ringing. It was Andrew.
"Hey Andrew. What's up?" Ashley asked, smiling. Long Pause. "Okay. Ya sure. Dean and Andi can come. Ya got to go. Bye," Ashley said and hung up. She was glad she met him. Maybe she would have to be afraid that he was a demon this time. Maybe she could be happy. Then she asked herself, why is Alex acting so weird. She slowly fell into a peaceful sleep, not knowing what was coming next.
