Wishing On The Stars {c.h}

E I G H T

Ashton sat by himself again in class. I stare at him for a little while before Calum sits down behind me.

"Hey," He half whispers. I take a seconds to smile before I turn around.

"Hey," I couldn't help but smile again.

"Are you free tonight?" He questions.

I hesitate. The movie was great, but that was more of a rudimentary date. I just met him a week ago! Things are going a bit fast, but I really do like him.. "Um, where are we going?"

"It's a surprise, if that's okay with you."

For some reason, I took the risk. For some reason, I trusted him. "Yeah,"

"Great, I'll pick you up at seven?" I nod just as our professor came in.

Jenna was already in the room when I rushed in.

"Hey, Liah," She greeted a bit awkwardly, noticing my towel. "Going somewhere?" I don't answer and rush to my closet. Shirts, jeans, shirts, leggings, more shirts, more jeans, sweaters... Have I no dresses?

"Can I borrow.. um.. Jade?" I ask out of the blue. Jenna named all her dresses. It is quite weird, but so is Jenna.

"Jade?" She shockingly asked. "Okay, okay. What are you doing Liah?"

"I've, I've got a date, I think."

"A DATE??" She yells and drops her calculus book. "With who?! Brax? Newt? Tucker? Lake?"

"No, no, no and Lake's an asshole," I scoff. Doesn't she already know that Lake likes her? "It's.. Calum."

Jenna gasps, "Calum?!" I blush a little. "I'm so proud of you sweetie!" She runs to me and gives me a bone crushing hug. "Go ahead! Take Jade, and I want to hear everything!" Is it possible that Jenna is more excited about this than me?

We both have the same size in clothes and shoes, so her dress fitted perfectly.

6:30. I still had half an hour. Why did I get dressed up so early?

"So," I try to start a conversation with Jenna. "Do you know an Ashton?" There was nothing else I could talk about.

"Liah, there are over 500 people here! Is it Ashton Paul or Ashton West or Ashton Lee?" Ashton never told me his last name, but I'm pretty sure it's not Paul, West or Lee.

"Ashton West," I lie just to end this. "He's in Honor's English with me. I was just wondering if you knew him." The truth is, Ashton isn't in English with me, but neither is Jenna so she'll never know.

I was doodling when a someone knocked at the door. Finally.
