"Ashley, it's time for dinner!" her mother had yelled that for the third time. Ashley just wrapped the blankets around herself even tighter. "Ashley?' Toby was standing at her door. "Ash, come on, it's time to eat dinner, Ash?" Toby sighed "Ash, come on, you know you want some pizza." Suddenly, Ashley threw the covers off her and stood up. "Just leave me alone! I don't want pizza, and I don't want my family bothering me! Get out of my room!" She was in tears. It had been a week since Christmas, and still Craig was all she thought about. School was starting that Monday, and she didn't even want to attend. Craig would be there, and she couldn't face him.

Later that night, Paige decided to come over and cheer her up. They were sitting in Ashley's room, listening to the radio listening to some Fefe Dobson.

"Listen, Craig has been talking to Spinner constantly about you, he misses you so much, and it's driving Spinner crazy." Paige was filing her nails. "Besides, Craig didn't really mean to hurt you, Manny was just being the little school slut she is, she can play with a guy's mind Ash."

"Yeah, but I can't stop hating him and loving him at the same time, he was a jerk to me, he made me feel like dirt, and I still can't stop thinking about him" Ashley sat down on her bed and hugged her pillow.

"Well, maybe you should consider getting back with him, or getting a rebound guy, cuz' I can't listen to you talk about Craig like all the time, it's such a downer." Paige was fixing her hair in Ashley's mirror. "I know what, shopping will make you feel better, maybe a little make-up too, cuz' you really look like crap, and I can't have anyone who hangs with me looking bad. It ruins my rep you know." Paige turned to Ashley, who was now lying down on her bed.

"Yeah Paige, I guess hanging with you would be okay, but I'm not taking any fashion tips from you, okay." Ashley looked up and actually smiled for the first time in a long time."

"Is that supposed to be some sort of insult, cuz' you know my style rocks, you're lucking you just broke up with your boyfriend, Kerwin, or you'd be in some major trouble." Paige threw a pillow at Ashley.
