"You" - Chapter 7 - "Never Thought There'd Be You"
Ashley had the first three periods to prepare herself for the big day that she and Ellie had ahead of them. Ellie had a doctor's appointment in the morning, and Ashley was taking a deep breath at her locker.
Suddenly from behind her, Ashley felt Ellie's arms wrap around her waist. Obviously knowing who it was, Ashley turned around to face Ellie and smiled.
"Hey, you," Ashley said, happy to see Ellie, "How was your appointment?"
"Eh, doctor-like. But I'm glad to see you," Ellie said, smiling shyly.
"You too, Sweetie," Ashley said. "It's 4th period. Do you have your chem stuff?"
"Damn, I don't. Do you have your chem book with you right now?"
"Sure," Ashley said, pulling it out of her bag and handing it to Ellie. Ashley had math that period, and they walked to the door of Ellie's chemistry class. Ellie caught the nervousness in Ashley's eyes and stopped where they were.
"Are you sure you're ready to do this?" Ellie asked, quietly.
"I am," Ashley said, firmly.
"Because if you're not sure, then we don't have to..."
Ashley interrupted Ellie by grasping her chin and kissing her. Their first kiss broke, and they kissed again, becoming wrapped up in their love for one another. From every which way around them, Marco half-smiled and nodded; Paige raised her eyebrows in surprise; Jimmy and Spinner whispered and laughed; but all of those things were shut out as they allowed themselves to be blinded by the passion that they both knew would outlast it all.
