A/N: Another chappie… hope you like it =)
Ashley Crighton moved along with the rush of the other students as they headed out of the A block building, scattering in all directions as they went their separate ways. The day had drawn to a close and it was time to go home.
Ashley had suddenly become popular overnight. The endless questions her classmates had asked about the tunnel accident had caused quite a stir. Though she had been shy about answering, she had tried her best, and all the popular girls had wanted her to eat lunch with them. Ashley, who had always wanted to fit in, had surprised herself by rejecting them in a polite manner.
Ashley's best friend, Joanie Kenneth, had been her friend before her overnight popularity. Why should she betray her for girls who before now, had never given her the time of day? It was insane. Needless to say, her refusal had strengthened the bond she had with Joanie.
As for her home-life, things with her parents had quietened down a lot. Her parents seemed closer than ever since the accident, which she was relieved about. There was no more talk about her father's affair. There were more than enough family outings. It seemed that Ashley's life was looking good.
At the gate, her heart flew into her throat. There was Vincent.
He saw her and approached her. "Hi," he smiled. "I thought if I was lucky I might catch you here. How are you?"
"I'm good," she nodded.
"Do you have time to get a burger?" he asked.
"Sure," she nodded. It had been a few weeks since the rescue, but she hadn't stopped thinking about his proposal to go out if they ever survived. They did. And here he was keeping good on his promise.
Sorry. I realise how short it is. But I need to watch the movie again to get a little more inspiration. =)). On the plus side, I gave you two chapters at once.
