Ashley looked in the mirror at her green shirt with a big black belt around it. Paired with skinny jeans and her black ballerina flats. She had decided to not straighten her hair and let it be thick and flow. She grabbed her backpack and left her room. She walked into the kitchen just as Amy came in with John on her hip.

"Good Morning" Amy smiled.

"Why are you so happy this morning" Ashley asked while grabbing milk out of the refrigerator.

"I know you can keep a secret so me and Ben went out last night and it was so much fun" Amy giggled.

"So you mean to tell me that you made Ricky stay here till you came home at whatever hour so you could hangout with Ben" Ashley snickered.

"Yep and I felt like I got some much needed me time" Amy responded.

Ashley just rolled her eyes and finished making her cereal. When she was about done her dad walked into the kitchen.

"Good morning, girls" George said to his daughters.

"Morning, Dad" they said simultaneously.

"Hey, dad can you drop me off to school" Ashley asked.

"Yeah sure lets go" He answered.

"Bye Ashley" Amy said still getting John ready.

"Bye" Ashley responded. Ashley put in her Ipod because she really was not in the mood to talk to her dad today. When they pulled up to Grant Ashley could not help but roll her eyes welcome back to hell Ashley thought.

"Bye, Ashley" George said.

"Bye, Dad" Ashley answered.

She walked though the building hoping no one was trying to say hi to her. As she was making it to her locker she bumped in to Adrian.

"Hey, Ashley" Adrian smiled. Wow it was only Tuesday and she had already bumped into someone she had not wanted to talk to.

"Hi" Ashley answered.

"Have you seen Grace" Adrian asked. Just as Ashley was about to answer Ricky came up to join there little conversation.

"Hey look who has on a shirt" Ricky joked.

Ashley laughed. "That was such a long time ago you really needed to get over it" Ashley laughed. Adrian looked at them both very confused.

"Inside joke" Ashley told her.

"It was only yesterday I think I can still joke about it." Ricky laughed.

"UM No you can't and I have not seen Grace today sorry Adrian" Ashley said and with that she walked away.

"What was that all about" Adrian snapped at Ricky. Ricky laughed.

"Jealously on you is not very cute" Ricky joked. Adrian shot Ricky a look that could kill.

"It was just a little joke calm down" Ricky answered as he leaned down to kiss Adrian. As that was going on Ashley had just made it to her locker when her BFF and only real friend Griffin came up to her.

"Hey" Ashley said.

"Hey, guess what I just heard" Griffin said.

"What" Ashley laughed.

"That your sister and Ben finally did it last night?" Griffin questioned.

"Nope" Ashley said. "Sorry all they did was hang out last night" Ashley answered.

"Darn, and I really thought it was true wait tell your sister gets here and starts hearing about this" Griffin whispered.

"Why are you whispering" Ashley asked. Griffin just shrugged his shoulders. Ashley closed her locker and started walking to 1st period.

"What did you do last night" Griffin asked.

"I got trapped into watching Robbie last night and then spent the rest of my evening eating ice cream with Ricky" Ashley said. Griffin stopped walking and just looked at Ashley.

"What do you mean eating ice cream with Ricky" Griffin whispered.

"Just chill we ate ice cream in the kitchen my mom was home and we just talked nothing more nothing less" Ashley reassured Griffin.

"OH okay" Griffin sighed.

"You're crazy" Ashley said as they walked into first.

At lunch Ashley was playing with her pizza when Amy sat down.

"Did you hear the rumor about Ben and me" Amy said.

"Yep"

"We did not have sex I promise" Amy replied.

"Chill Amy I know" Ashley said. Just then Griffin sat down and looked at Amy. Amy opened her mouth to speak.

"Its okay I know nothing happened, but did you hear about Grace and Jack there back together" Griffin conveyed.

"When did you become such a gossiper" Ashley asked.

"When this school got interesting" He replied.

"Later Ashley" Amy said as she made her way over to where Lauren and Madison were.

Ricky walked by and nodded his head. Ashley gave him a wave back.

"What was that" Griffin asked with a smile on his face. Ashley raised one eyebrow and just looked at Griffin. She just took a bite out of her pizza and laughed.

"I'm coming over your house to see this little thing between Ricky and you" Griffin announce. Ashley looked at Griffin with a stunned look.

"What are you even talking about" Ashley asked.

"Nothing just wait tell I get over there today then you well see" Griffin answered.

"Don't you have to go some where with your brother today at least that's what you told me in 4th today" Ashley asked.

"Right, Right I totally forgot got well then tomorrow" Griffin implyed.

"Whatever" Ashley laughed. She got up and through away her lunch.

Ashley had just opened her locker when Amy came up to her.

"Come on Ashley lets go I need to get to work and if you don't want to get left you needed to move now" Amy said. Ashley grabbed her bag and closed her locker after locking it she turned round after Amy. Amy dropped Ashley off at home and drove off to work. Ashley went straight to room and unlocked the door. She put on some house cloth which today since no one was going to be here until about six was some daisy duke shorts and a tank top. She went straight to start some home work. Once she finished her English home work it was 5:30. She ran into the kitchen and started making a sandwich as fast as she could because Amy or Ricky or her Mom and Dad would be home soon and she need to change pants.

"Hey, Ashley" Ricky said. Ashley did not need to turn around to know Ricky was smiling. She slowly turned around and smiled.

"Hi" She said back she went to the refrigerator and opened it hoping it was covering her legs she grabbed herself some juice.

"So do you always walk around in shorts when no ones here" Ricky asked.

"Yeah pretty much" Ashley answered. She turned around and grabbed a cup from the tray near the sink. When she turned back around Ricky was sitting at the table with his eyes closed. Ashley just poured herself a cup of juice and grabbed her plate she almost made it out but her curiosity got the better of her she sat her plate down and drink next to where Ricky was sitting and sat down.

"Tired" Ashley asked.

"More then you even know" Ricky replied with his eyes still closed.

"I guess having a kid, a job, and school would do that to you" Ashley replied.

"Oh lets not forget having a girlfriend who does not trust you now that's another full time job" Ricky added. Ashley toke a bite of her sandwich before answering.

"You wouldn't have that job if you could learn to be only with Adrian" Ashley said.

"I'm pretty sure she flipped out about that little comment you made this morning" Ashley added. Ricky nodded his head. Ashley continued to eat her dinner when Ricky looked down at it then back at her.

"I don't think so this is MY sandwich you want one you go make one" Ashley replied.

"All right" Ricky got up and started taking things out of the refrigerator.

"What do you want to do with the rest of your life" Ashley asked him. Ricky looked up at Ashley. "That's a little personal I think" Ricky said.

"Are you going to tell me or not" Ashley asked.

"I don't know yet" Ricky answered.

"At least I'm not the only one" Ashley said.

"You have no clue either" Ricky asked.

"I have a couple but nothing is set in stone yet" Ashley answered. Ricky laughed.

"What's so funny" Ashley asked. "You're a freshmen you have time I on the other had I'm running out of time" Ricky replied.

When Ricky sat down as Ashley got really quiet.

"I have a question but you don't have to answer this one" Ashley said.

"Shot" Ricky said as he now took a bite out of his sandwich. Ashley drank some juice then just asked the question.

"What was your dad like" Ashley asked.

"He was mean evil a bad person all around" Ricky said.

"Did you ever at any point love your dad" Ashley asked.

"Wow Ashley way to lay on the big question" Ricky sighed.

It was about five minutes before Ricky replied.

"Yes, when I was really young I did but that all changed" Ricky finally answered.

"That should not have happened to you, Ricky" Ashley said.

"How's that friend of yours Griffin" Ricky asked changing the subject.

"He's okay but he thinks that something is going on between us other then being friends" Ashley laughed. Ricky turned to her direction and came closer to her.

"What if I told you I wanted to be more then friends" Ricky said locking eyes with her.

"I'd say you're crazy" Ashley responded.

"What's going on here" George asked as he walked in to kitchen. Ha HA Left you at a cliff there can't wait for the next one either myself well review review and I DO NOT OWN THE SECRET LIFE OF THE AMERICAN TEENAGER OR THE SONG THAT HELPED ME WRITE THIS THANK YOU.
