Chapter 2: What happened at school
(ashley's POV)
We arrived at Thomas Jefferson high school. "hey guys!" a voice said from behind us. We turned around. It was our friend Raquel. "Oh, hey raquel!" said Sasha "Whats up?" As they were talking something caught my eyes. It was Justin Spitzer getting out of his dad's car. He was meeting up with his BFFs, Ryan and Kyle. Okay ash, I said to myself, you can do this. I walked towards him but was stopped mid-way by Jason Arnold – jock jerk and most conceited boy at Jefferson high. "Hey Ashley" he said "Wanna go to planet tokyo with me on Saturday?" "Maybe some other time" I said I over heard the mean girls on my cheerleading team, Ursula Spears, Aria Ciccone, and Tiffany Germonatta, talking. "WTF is wrong with her?" said Aria "IDK" said Tiffany "he's sooo dreamy." "IKR!" said Ursula "and he's all mine." Great you can keep him I thought

"Did you see that?" Kyle said to me. "See what?" I said "my crush talking 2 that jerk Jason? Yeah is saw it…" "hel-lo? Earth to justin?" ryan said "she just dissed him." "Pfft! Yeah right!" I said. I walked down the hall and bumped into someone.

"Hey watch where you're-" I stopped mid-sentence. I looked up to see Justin Spitzer on the floor. I helped him up "You okay?" I asked "Uh, yeah sure…" he said nervously. "Let me help you with your stuff." I requested "No no im good." He said "No I insist." I picked up one of his drawings. There was a picture of a dark haired girl who looked a little like me. "Is this supposed to be…!" "NO!" he yelled "I mean… well… maybe." That's when it hit me - he might like me back. "Want to sit together at lunch?" I asked "Well, umm, sure." Justin said. The bell rang. "Well I gotta go." I said "Me too." Said justin
I walked into English class early thank god. Ms. Mackelroy came in. "Good Morning class" she said with her usual cherry smile. I like Ms. Mackelroy. She's an old college friend of Mrs. Baxter, the school psychologist (who also happens to be my aunt). "Today we are going to read William Shakespere's 'Romeo and Juliet'." She said "Now open your texts books to page 213." The class groaned.
As we got to the balcony scene, my mind shifted into lala land. I must have fallen asleep because I remember dreaming about me saying "O justin justin wherefore art thou justin? Deny my father and refuse thy name, if thou wilt not. *sigh* what's in a name? that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Then I heard snickering coming from Ursula aria and tiffany. "Ms. Fenton," Ms. Mackelroy said to me, "Would like to enlighten these giggling girls on the meaning of 'wherefore'?" "Wha-? Oh 'wherefore' means 'why' Ms. M." "That's correct" That's when the bell rang. Before I could leave the room, Ms. M called me over "Ashley" she said "Your having a hard time telling Justin how you feel." "Yes Ms. M" I said. "don't worry" she said "I'll talk to your aunt Jazz about it she'll know what to do." I walked out.

I was walking to biology class when I overheard Ursula spears talking with her friends. "Can you believe Ashley Fenton said that dork justin spitzter's name in class again?" she said "IKR!" Tiffany replied "I mean what does she see in him, anyway?" "IDK!" Ursula said "But it gives me a better shot at Jason" they cackeled unaware that I heard them calling me a "dork". But I wasn't offended Ashley Fenton? I mused I gotta do something special for her… and then it hit me like a car going 200km/h in the wrong lane.
