My teachers were great and my classes weren’t boring because Ashley was in most of my classes which was a relief. It was finally lunch time and Ashley had invited me to sit next to her where she hung out. I had to find my brothers and tell them I’m not going to sit with them today. I finally met up with Ashley at a small table in the cafeteria.

‘so is this your hang out?’ I questioned sitting down.

‘nope!’ she replied getting up and running out of the cafeteria carrying her lunch tray.

‘why do you run so much!’ I yelled after her trying to not spill my food on my new shirt.

By the time I spotted her she was sitting under a tree eating her lunch peacefully.

‘you really run fast.’ I said trying to breathe as I sat next to her.

‘thanks I’m on the track team that’s why.’ She said biting into her apple.

A little of the juice squirted on my face. ‘I am so sorry’ she said looking for her napkin. She gently wiped off the juice on my face. She looked into my eyes and it seemed like the world stopped for a little bit. Her head dropped. ‘I’m sorry about that.’

‘it’s okay.’ I said smiling.

‘so this is my hang out. I really don’t have any friends so this is where I hang out alone. I usually read my book under the tree until lunch ends.’

‘wow you’re the dork in this friendship.’ I said laughing.

‘friendship? We’re friends?’ she said with a puzzled look.

‘of course.’ I said giggling and taking a bite of my burger.

‘oh yes!’ she stood up. ‘go Ashley go ashley’ as she started to dance.

‘oh my god…can I take that back?’

‘shut up! And come here’ she said reaching out her hand.

‘no I don’t dance.’

‘come on spencer it’s fun.’ She said pulling me up.

We started dancing in a crazy way and people started to stare. I stopped and just looked around as Ashley continued jump around and move her hair around and around. ‘ashley!’
