| Chapter 1 I can't stop thinking about this one boy! Wow, he's just so many things all at once! I just can't describe him! He's just.... he's just.... "Miss Anderson, what's your view on this war?" the teacher asked with a look of displeasure on her face. "Huh? Umm... Umm..." I looked at my classmates faces for some sort of answer, but I realized they weren't listening either. "Miss Anderson, we're waiting!" she said tapping her foot impatiently. I could now feel a bead of sweat run down the side of my face. I then tried to stall. "What was the question again?" I asked looking up at her with a big smile on my face. The bell rang. I sank down in my seat and let out a sigh. Saved by the bell! I rushed to my next class. On the way there, I ran right into someone. "Whoops!" I blurted out as I dropped to the floor gathering his books. "I'm sorry!" we both said at the same time. "Oh, no it was my fault completely!" I said trying to take all the blame. "No it was me. I... I wasn't paying attention." as he said this he looked up and began to blush. I finally realized who this boy was that was now standing in front of me. "Well, I guess I have to get to class. Bye Jason!" When I was out of sight, I screamed! (well, atleast in my head!!!) In the distance I heard: "Bye Ash!" Oh my goodness he called me Ash! I gotta tell Brit! Gym "Dude, Brit, I gotta tell you something!" I said antsy! "Yeah, what?" "You'll never guess!" I said trying to have her get excited about my secret/experience. "Ok, then why don't you tell me!!" "Ok, dude Jason called me 'Ash'! Isn't that cool!?" I asked looking for some excitement or reaction, or something! "That's it?!" "Well, that's a lot, for me atleast! That made my day, so there!" I said turning away and sticking out my tongue at her. "Good, I'm happy for you!" Our attention was now brought to our Gym teacher. "Ok peope, listen up! We're gonna do the mile today!" the teacher yelled. Everyone groaned, except for Jason, he was very athletic! "Ok let's stretch. Who's the lucky people today?" the teacher pondered. " Ashlee and Jason, please lead the warm-ups, then head over to the track." "Ok." we said in unison. "Yes, yes, yes!!!" I thought in my head. " Ok umm what do you want to start with?" I asked looking at my feet. "Arm stretches!" he said in a bold voice. "Okey dokey!" I finally looked up, and noticed he had no interest in me at all. We started counting and I counldn't stop thinking about him calling me "Ash", then him not even noticeing me. What was the matter with me? Did I just think it was Jason in the hall way or was it really him and I just imagined the whole conversation? I don't know! Was I going crazy?! |
