Chapter 10: At Ashley's House

So there Lawrence and I were, riding our bikes to Ashley's mom's house.

Why am I going to Ashley's house, you know since I hate her guts and all?

It turns out that STILL after Ashley flat out dumped him, Zack still wants her back I mean there are plenty of cool girls at our school like Michelle. Whatever happened to his crush on her?

Well, all for Zack staying in the band right?

Now Zack thinks I'm doing him this big favor on getting Ashley back. So I decided to bring Lawrence and his video camera if she starts to do anything crafty.

Anyways, Lawrence and I put our bikes on the rack, and then Lawrence kept tapping me for some reason. He just kept tapping me and tapping me and I was getting really pissed off.

"What?" I yelled at him. He pointed up. "Holy shit!" I said.

This place didn't look like an apartment; it looked like a five-star HOTEL!!!! It looked like there were about 40 stories and when Lawrence and I went inside, there was a GOLD fountain! Talk about fancy pants.

We headed for the elevator as a man stopped us.

"Excuse me, but where do you think YOU'RE going?" he asked with a very odd lisp, just like Billy's.

"We came here to visit a friend, sir." I said as he eyed me up and down, I forgot to take off my clothes from the concert last night so I still had my ripped vest and plaid skirt with sweat pants on.

"And who would that be with that video camera?" he said pointing to Lawrence.

"It's a school project, sir." Lawrence told him back.

"We're visiting Ashley Tyler, sir. Her mother's maiden name is Finn." I said to him.''

"Oh, in that case they live in the penthouse suite. 5th room to the left." He said smiling.

"Where's that?" I asked, confused.

"Freddy, that's the top floor." Lawrence said.

"What? We have to go THAT high?" I yelled.

"Might I suggest an elevator?" the man said.

Lawrence and I went up all the way 50 stories and to the 5th room to the left. As we knocked on the door Ashley answered.

"Oh, its you two. What do you boys want?" Ashley said in her normal snobby voice.

"We're not here for you, this is about Zack." I said.

"Oh, really what about him?" Ashley said, unconcerned.

"He's back in the band." Lawrence added, bringing shock to Ashley's face.

"Well don't just stand there. What does Zack want?" Ashley said. "My mom will only let one person in while she's out, so I'm going to talk to Freddy."

That meant of course that she wanted Lawrence out of her house, leaving his camera on her counter.

"So what does Zack want?" Ashley said.

"You." I said.

"He wants me back?" Ashley said in shock.

"Yeah, I know I was surprised too." I said nastily.

"Look, Zack. "She started. "I care about Zack. And I care about other boys too." She said with an unusual glare.

"Yeah, like Evan Wosmer?" I said, reminding her of the dance.

"No. I like a boy that's not afraid to be bad once in a while. A certain blonde boy." Ashley said with a grin.

Then, Ashley did the unthinkable, and disgusting, by kissing me on the lips.

EW I could feel her tongue on my teeth!

So I did what came naturally...

I pushed her away from me and spit all over the floor.

"What was that for? I thought you liked it." Ashley said, trying to please me.

"The best part was when it was over! GROSS! Not only are you my best friend's ex, but you're ASHLEY! EW!" I yelled out.

"Freddy, please, please don't tell Zack. I really want to go back out with him again!" Ashley pleaded.

She was actually on her knees pleading.

"You know, I don't get what Zack sees in you. There are so many more worthy girls for Zack than YOU. But since Zack likes you, I guess I could spare you." I told her, looking down at her. Literally.

I took the camera and went on my way. We went back to the hotel room to see Zack sitting on a chair waiting for us. He ran up to me, not knowing what happened.

"How was it? What did she say? Does she still love me? FREDDY PLEASE TELL ME!!" Zack said, on his knees.

He reminded me of Ashley, begging on his knees for an answer. I felt so bad lying to him like this, but I got it all on tape.

"Everything went well. Be prepared to share a bus seat with her home." I said smiling.

"Thanks, man!" Zack said smiling.

I went over to Katie and Summer who were also waiting for me.

"How did it go?" Katie asked me.

"Did you get everything on tape?" Summer asked me.

"Yeah, a little too much of what I bargained for." I said.

"Well, what did she do?" Katie asked me.

"Well—she kind of—"I really didn't want to say this in front of my girlfriend.

"Freddy, what did she do? We need to know this." Summer said.

"Okay! She made a move on me. And she tried to tounge me." I blurted out.

Summer laid out a huge grin on her face as Katie's face went red. "That girl has a lot of FUCKING nerve!" Katie gritted out of her teeth.

"You didn't kiss her back did you?"

"Hell, no! I had my teeth blocking my mouth the whole time." I told her.

"It's time." Summer said quietly with her grin.

"Time for what?" Billy went in the conversation.

"Lawrence is going to show his project to our social studies class." Summer said.

"Oh, great I can't wait to see his presentation." Zack said, completely clueless.

"I think you'll love it, Zack." Summer said with a grin.

"Yeah, anyways, I'll be right back I have to brush my teeth." I said.

'Why? Bad food?" Zack asked me.

"Lets just say I tasted something that instead of flowers, it tasted and smelled like ass." I said walking to the bathroom.

And so Plan B to get rid of Ashley was underway.
