Chapter 9

Ashley was currently beating eggs in the kitchen for her mom. She was pretty excited to go out with the guys and Paige. Her mom had already agreed to let her go. She was thrilled to spend time with Craig. She felt he was drifting apart from her. This was the perfect opportunity to get things straight. The sizzle from an egg hitting her mother's hot frying pan interrupted her thoughts.

"Honey, you seem sorta out of it. Are you ok?"

"Perfect mom! I'm just so excited about today. Mind if I borrow some money for today?"

"Purse is on the table."

Ashley rushed over to her mom's leather purse. She shifted through her moms gum, Kleenex and makeup, eventually finding a small brown wallet. She looked at her mom's driver's license first. If only she could drive... Anyway, she pulled out a hundred dollars. She knew her mom wouldn't want her taking that much, but she hoped nobody would notice the missing money.

"How much did you take Ash?"

"Um, bout 40 bucks. That ok?"

"Sure, so anyway sweetie, when is Paige picking you up?"

"Oh, I think she said 11."

"Very cool, in that case you should be standing at the door because she is going to be here..."

DING DONG

"That'd be her! Thanks for the money mom! I'll call you when I get to Paige's house for the sleepover." "Sure sweet pea. Have fun!"

At that, Ashley ran out the door with her purse in hand and her black jacket hanging off her shoulder. She saw Paige wearing some sunny yellow Capri's and a flowery top. Ashley felt slightly self-conscious seeing as she only wore a pair of old, faded black pants and a red top that she bought at a garage sale a year ago. Spinner would probably being drooling over Paige, and maybe even Craig, because Paige did look very pretty.

"Hop in hun! You and Craig get the back!"

"Sweet! BYE MOM!"

The four of them drove to Wonderland in high spirits. They had the radio on at full volume. Once they were close to the park entrance they turned the volume down, stopped singing and looked for parking. Eventually they found one, but it was quite far because the place was pretty packed.

"Couldn't you find anything closer Paige? I mean we're all going to be tired by the time we get to the place."

"Well whiney little Spinner, more time to talk I suppose, plus do you seen anywhere closer?"

"Not really but"

"So don't complain!"

"Will you two stop fighting!

"Sorry Craig, but our relationship isn't as perfect as yours. We're normal, we argue, big whoop!"

Normal? Perfect? Craig and Paige both knew that wasn't true. If only Ash and Spin knew about how Craig and Paige had been seeing each other. They both looked at each other smiling, but inside, they slightly felt guilty.

"Ok Spin, their relationship isnt OW!!!!!!!!"

"Paige what's wrong?"

"My ankle! I just twisted it in this stupid pot hole!"

"Can you stand honeybee?"

Paige tried to stand but she just couldn't stand putting any pressure on her left foot. Out of no where, she felt her self zoom up. It seemed Craig had picked her up.

"Hey dude, she's my girlfriend, ill hold her"

"It's ok, I've got her."

"No seriously."

"Spin it's fine, I'm comfortable here. Relax"

"Ok fine whatever."

He was pretty upset, he figured he should be helping Paige, not his best friend. How could she agree to let Craig hold her, not him. He started walking faster, so did Ashley, probably wanting to comfort him. They seemed to be deep in discussion, Craig and Paige decided to use this time wisely.

"Are you ok?"

"I'm good, thanks"

"Wish it was just us here, no other dates."

"Well, we can sneak away every once and a while."

They got into the park soon enough. A huge day was ahead of them. Some big things are going to happen to all 4 of them. Romance, Anger, Lying and much much more! Keep reading to find out!
