"Ashley, hey Ashley, wait!!" Jimmy Brooks ran across the food court.
"Hello to you too Jimmy" Paige rolled her eyes.
"Could you excuse us for a sec Paige?" Jimmy looked at Paige.
"Fine, I'll get in line for some salad, Ash, see you in a sec." Paige glared at Jimmy and walked toward the salad line.
"Ash, I know we're not on real good terms, but I want you to know, what Craig did was sleazy, I'm sorry." Jimmy shoved his hands in his pocket and stared at the mall tile.
"Jimmy, uh, thanks I guess, but really you have no reason to be sorry. I'll see you later" She almost snapped at him, but caught herself. Ashley was pissed. How did everyone know? She thought that everyone knew that she and Craig had broken up, but they knew about Manny too.
She sat down at a table, bent her head, and covered her face with her hands. I don't want to cry, I don't want to cry, she thought over and over again.
Paige sat down with two Caesar salads. "Hun, what did Jimmy say?"
Ashley looked up at Paige "How does everyone know about Manny and Craig? I wanted people to think that Craig and I just weren't getting along, not that I wasn't good enough for him and he needed a freakin' slut to satisfy is raging hormones".
Paige got quiet. "Uh, hun, I thought you knew. Spinner kind of knew about Manny and Craig. I'm not speaking to him right now cuz' he didn't tell me. Spinner told Jimmy and maybe, I told Hazel, and Hazel probably told Terri, and ...
"Shut up! Shut Up! I don't want to hear about your rumor mill. I thought you could keep at least one thing private. Now, the whole school knows because of you. How selfish are you Paige? You couldn't even keep something that you knew would hurt me to yourself." Ashley looked around; half the food court was looking at her. She stomped off with her shopping bags and didn't look back.
The next day, Ashley put on a short sleeve, off the shoulders, black shirt with lace around the sleeves and collar. She had on black eye shadow and combed her hair, which had many dark blue streaks she had put in her hair the night before. Instead of some jeans, she put on something she had been trying to get away from. She put on a jean-pleated mini. Back in her preppy, she would've worn the mini, but she'd been trying to get away from that ever since, well that's another story.
Ashley went downstairs to the kitchen. Toby was there and to her surprise, JT was too. They were gorging on cereal.
"Morning Ashley, You're up bright and early, for the first time in a while." Toby smiled Ashley half smiled back and was about to sit down to pour some cornflakes when-
"Ashley! Look at that skirt, haven't seen those legs in a while, meow!" JT had apparently looked up from his cereal long enough to survey Ashley.
"Thanks JT, sometimes, you make me feel so good." Ashley said sarcastically as she poured a bowl of cereal. I hope the day doesn't get any weirder than JT's cat noises, Ashley prayed.
Before school, Ellie and Ashley were talking by Ellie's locker.
"Ashley, what's up with your look?" Ellie look puzzled at her fashion choice.
"El-I just thought that maybe you know, I could get Craig to think that maybe I wasn't such prude little girl, and now he's missing out. Oh, here comes Paige." Ashley glanced.
"Ashley, you have on the cutest outfit. I knew some of my fashion sense would rub off on you if we went shopping long enough and it looks like it has." Paige was beaming.
"I weren't aware that we were even talking Paige, or at least I made the decision to stop talking to you, maybe you should do the same." Ashley stared angrily at Paige and strolled away. Ellie slammed her locker, which startled Paige, and smirked, and ran to catch up with Ashley.
"Ellie, this is a new beginning for me. I can focus on myself now, and not on a guy." Unexpectedly, she heard a squeal in the hall. She gazed around and saw Manny, hugging Craig. Craig was smiling and stared lovingly into Manny's eyes, until he saw Ashley's cold glare. He jaw dropped a little bit when he saw what she had on, but he walked away, hand-in-hand with Manny. That slut, Ashley thought, that stupid slut.
:::::: Hey everyone, thanks for read this. Ashley is going to jump out of character, so please don't give me a hard time, I just want to make it interesting. Don't worry, she's not going to be unrecognizable, but don't plan on her being, well I don't want to give anything away. :::::::::::::
