"It's Friday" Ashley screamed in the house as she walked into the main house in her skinny jeans and loose blue blouse with the right of amount of cleave.

"Amy's taking you to school" Anne said walking into kitchen.

"WHAT". Ashley could not believe this. This was like forcefully putting her hand in a shark tank saying she won't get bit.

"That's right, you to are sisters you should not be fighting" Anne replied.

Ashley just rolled her eyes and grabbed a bowl to make cereal. As she was finishing Amy came down stairs.

"You're taking Ashley to school".

"You can't be serious" Amy yelled as she picked John up.

"Yep" Anne replied as she walked out of the kitchen. Amy shot Ashley a look.

"I don't want this either but she wants you to drive me" Ashley replied as she put her bowl in the sink and grabbed her bag.

"Lets go" Amy rolled her eyes and walked out the house with John on her hip. Ashley grabbed her Ipod. Ashley put her music in her ears and turned the volume up loud. That's how they spent the car ride in complete silence. When they pulled up to Grant Ashley bolted out of the car as fast as her legs could go. Ashley was running away she ran right into some guy.

"Hey" the guy yelled as they both went down His papers were every where and her Ipod was on the floor. The guy got up and put his hand out to pull her up. Ashley looked at the hand and surprising took it. A bolt almost as electric as the time Ricky and Ashley's hand touch and the car ran up her arm. Ashley stood up and looked down and grabbed her Ipod and some paper's.

"I'm sorry I just had to get away from my sister" Ashley replied.

"Don't worry about" the guy nodded.

"And you are?"

"Jake" the guy answered.

"Ashley" she replied.

"I know your Amy's little sister" Jake nodded.

"Wow not you're that girl's sister that got pregnant last year little sister" Ashley laughed. The guy just laughed a long.

"Well, Bye" He said as he walked away.

Ashley headed to her locker to find no other then Ricky leaned against it.

"And you think you girlfriend as no right to be asking questions" Ashley said as she walked toward him. Ricky gave her one of his smiles.

"Did he ask you to the dance" Ricky nodded toward the area where Ashley had ran into the guy.

"No"

"Wont be long" Ricky chuckled.

"Has any one asked you yet" Ashley asked.

"Yep but I turned them all down" Ricky looked at Ashley locking eyes with her. They stayed like that for a minute just looking at each other. Ricky this time was the one to break it.

"Any one ask you" Ricky questioned.

"Yeah last night some kid name Tim Hunt asked me but I told him about Griffin and he hung up on me" Ashley smiled.

"Yeah I know that kid kind of he's like how Ben was his freshmen year" Ricky laughed.

"Get off my locker" Ashley said. Ricky stood up and walked away. Ashley had just opened the door to her locker when Griffin came up next to her.

"Did he ask you" Griffin guessed.

"Who"

"Ricky, who else" Griffin replied sarcastically.

"Nope"

"Any one ask you yet" Griffin asked.

"Just some kid named Tim" Ashley finally said.

"The one in first period" Griffin asked. Ashley nodded her head and closed her locker her and Griffin started walking to 1st period. As they walked in a guy waved at her.

"That's Tim" Griffin whispered in her ear. Ashley waved back. Later Ashley was running an errand for her 4th period teacher when some guy came up to her.

"Hi, I'm Eric wanna to go to the dance with me" He asked bluntly.

"Wow, confident and a huge ego" Ashley smirked.

"Yeah, well will you" Eric smiled at Ashley.

"Sorry but I'm going with Griffin unless he finds a date then I'm not going at all" Ashley shrugged.

"Well let me know if you change your mind" Eric said as he shot her one last smile and walked away. Ashley rolled her eyes. At lunch Ashley sitting at the table playing with her sandwich when Griffin came up and sat down next to her.

"I have a date" Griffin smiled.

"What, who" Ashley was so shocked.

"This guy named Conner I know him from a friend and he heard I was having a dance and he asked me and I said yes" Griffin laughed.

"Wow well now it looks like I'm not going yay" Ashley was really a little bumped about not going.

"But you can still go with some one else" Griffin reassured Ashley.

"Yeah I think I might" Ashley smiled and looked at there was Tim sitting at a table across from them.

"I'll be right back" Ashley got up and walked over there.

"Hey, do you want to go to dance me" Ashley asked him. Tim laughed.

"Wow this really sucks I cant my parents got me into tutoring this little kid that night" Tim sighed.

"Well okay"

"I'm sorry" Tim replied. Ashley just shook her head and walked away.

"Well there goes Tim with leaves me with Eric the guy with an Ego big enough to feed the whole world" Ashley said as she sat next to Griffin.

"What about that guy you ran into today" Griffin asked.

"He didn't ask me"

"And you could ask him" Griffin.

"Your right I think I will" Ashley smiled.

"You sure your not just pretending to not have a date because you wont Ricky to ask you" Griffin smiled. Ashley just rolled her eye's and shook her head no.

"Oh better yet you and Ricky are already going together and your just acting like your looking for a date" Griffin smiled like he just answered the million dollar question.

Ashley was just about to answer and but she saw Jake.

"There's Jake I'll be right back" Ashley walked over to Jake who was tanding in line to get lunch.

"Hey, Jake right" Ashley asked.

"Yep, Ashley Jurgens right" Jake replied back with a smile.

"Cute and funny"

"Yep and single" Jake played along.

"That's even better so wanna go to the dance with me on Friday" Ashley asked. Jake looked up at her as he was paying for his lunch. He smiled.

"Sure" He answered. Ashley smiled.

"Great pick me up at 8" Ashley stated as she walked away. When Ashley sat down Griffin looked up her with questions in his eyes.

"He said yes" Ashley answered calmly.

"Great" Griffin was smiling ear to ear.

"Hey, sorry that I have to skip out on you early but I need to grab my math book out of my locker" Ashley said as she through away her lunch and waved at Griffin who waved back. Ashley walking to locker and she was having a weird feeling. She looked around to see if some was following her. But there was no one there. She continued to look around and when she turned the corner with her locker just up a head. She heard a slamming noise coming for right behind her Ashley turned around as she turned around she bumped right into someone. Ashley screamed.

"Hey, Ashley calm down it's just me" Ricky said as he engulfed her into a hug.

"Oh, yeah sorry" Ashley said as she stepped out of Ricky's embrace. But as soon as she left she wanted him to pull her back into his arms. Ricky realizing what he had done he put his hands in his pocket.

"You okay" He asked.

"Yeah I just thought someone was following me" Ashley breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sure your okay" Ricky asked as he arched his eyebrows.

"Yeah just a little jumpy" Ashley rocked back on her heels feeling a little uncomfortable.

"I'll see you later" Ricky started to wave bye.

"Oh, not that fast you owe me five bucks" Ashley smirked.

"Oh yeah really how so" Ricky asked as he turned around. Ashley folded her arms and smiled.

"Only two guys asked me before I go a date so you owe me five bucks" Ashley smiled in victory. Ricky looked shocked.

"Who's your date" He asked now completely serious.

"This kid named Jake" Ashley shrugged.

"Jake Cane" Ricky questioned. Ashley just shrugged.

"He's a senior Ashley be careful okay" Ricky looked at Ashley until she met his eyes. Ashley nodded her head in reply.

"Alright" Ricky walked around her and headed for his locker with out another word.

Ashley just went to her locker and grabbed her math book. It was the end of the day and Ashley was getting her jacket from her locker and she felt something blow in her ear.

"Hey" Ashley yelled as she turned around Their standing in her face grinning was Jake.

"My bubble your bubble stay there" Ashley said as she point at herself and then him.

"Hello, to you to I just came over here to offer you a ride home" Jake asked as he leaned up against the locker next to hers. Ashley closed her locker and looked at Jake thinking of Ricky how Jake kind of did it wrong Ricky usually puts one hand in his pocket. Ashley shook her head and put Ricky out of her mind.

"Is that a no" Jake arched his eyebrows.

"No yeah you can take me home" Ashley shrugged.

"Alright let me go say Bye to a couple of friends and then we go" Jake said. Ashley nodded her head okay. Just as Jake left Ricky came up next to her.

"Hey do you know where Amy is" Ricky asked.

"Nope"

"Great now I have to look for her I tried calling but she didn't pick up" Ricky shrugged.

"Hey you ready" Jake asked as he flung his arm round Ashley shoulder.

"Go way" Ricky asked completely serious.

"He's taking me home" Ashley wanted to move Jake's arm but she had her book in one hand and her back pack in the other.

"No he's not" Ricky folded his arms.

"Dude chill I'm just driving her home" Jake held up both his hands in innocence. Ashley stepped away slight so Jake couldn't but his arm back.

"Sorry DUDE but I don't know you and neither does Ashley so I'll take her home" Ricky picked up Ashley backpack.

"That's okay Ricky Jake can take me home" Ashley reached for her bag but Ricky pulled it back and walked over down the hallway. Ashley sighed.

"Bye, Jake" Ashley started walking not even waiting for him to say anything back.

When she finally reached Ricky she stood there just looking at him. Ricky sighed.

"Grace is going to take you home" Ricky grimaced a little at Ashley's angry face.

"Excuse me no she's not" Ashley yelled at him.

"You want to get home" Ricky arched his eyebrows. Ashley just glared. Ricky sighed.

"I'm was just looking out for you"

"I don't need anyone to look out for me" Ashley replied as she grabbed her bag and turned and left.

"I think you could be wrong about that" Ricky murmured. A/N: Anyone remember this

"Grace can you take me home" Ashley asked

"Sure, Ashley" Grace smiled. Ashley and Grace walked out of the school.

"Grace no talking" Ashley barked. That sent to tone for the ride complete silence. When they pulled up to the house Ashley said goodbye and got out. When she walked into the house Amy and her mom were sitting at the table.

"Hey, Ashley I want to take you and Amy out to get dresses for the dance it's called a, A Dance of Dreams so I'm thinking some dark blue and light blue dresses" Anne smiled.

"Yeah sure whatever, mom" Ashley headed for her room but was stopped.

"You're going with Jake Cane" Amy asked. Ashley just nodded her head. Amy shrugged as if it wasn't a big deal.

"So were going shopping tomorrow okay" Anne asked.

"Yep" Ashley nodded as she went to her room. After changing her cloths Ashley's mind drifted to Ricky. I wish he would tell me what really going on Ashley let the thought sink in. She sighed and turned and screamed in a pillow. Why is life so complicated Ashley thought as she took out her phone and called Ricky.

Well here it is I DO NOT OWN THE SECRET LIFE OF THE AMERICAN TEENAGER OR THE SONG THAT HELPED ME WRITE THIS. Also remember the title of the dance A Dance of Dreams. Remember you need to remember.
