Hazardous

Last time:

When I looked up, Ashley was standing there staring at me leaning against the wall. I stumbled backwards and fell onto the trashcan and then landed on my ass on hard concrete. Great… way to go dork…

Chapter 3

Ashley stifled a laugh and extended a hand to me. I think that by now I was about as red as tomato. I gratefully took the hand and she pulled me up with surprising strength for her petite form and sent me crashing into her.

Once again, I was on the floor but this time Ashley was under me. I could feel the heat off her body. We stared at each other for a moment before I was snapped back into reality and realized the position we were in. I scrabbled off her.

“Oh! I’m sorry! I’m such a bloody klutz! Stupid Spencer. Stupid Spencer.” I said pacing around her while smacking myself on the head. Ashley was still on the ground looking up at me propped up on her elbows and then I remembered her. I offered her a hand, much like she had done before and gently lifted her up.

“Don’t sweat it,” She grabbed my skateboard from the floor. “So…uhhh… come here often?” She gave me a cheesy smile.

“Yes… I mean no… I mean ughhh….” I was so unbelievably stupid she probably thought I had a mental condition or something.

She walked over to me and placed a gentle hand on my shoulder. “You know Spencer, its okay I’m not going to bite or anything.” She gave a soft chuckle.

Okay NOW I felt stupid, “Yeah, but I mean you’re…” I took a minute to look her up and down –which didn’t go unnoticed by her “you.”

She laughed again and walked away over towards the parking lot. I thought she was just going to leave me there when she called over her shoulder, “Hey you coming, Karate Kid?” I basically sprinted to catch up to her.

“It’s not karate…” I mumbled when I was by her side.

She just ignored that. “So you board? You any good?”

“I’m all…alright I guess.”

“You wanna teach me?” I was kinda caught off guard by this. Even more so when she immediately proceeded to put my skateboard on the ground and stand on it which only led to her falling off and into my arms.

“Nice hands.” She jokingly repeated my earlier comment and I blushed once more.

“Nice thong.” I could see it when her shirt rode up. OH MY GOD!! Did I just say that?!?! I think I’m about to die. Ashley only smirked.

“Thanks. I’m sure you got a great show in the changing room.”

“THAT was an accident.” Now I was officially embarrassed. I realized that she was still in my arms and I looked into her eyes. “I just realized that I don’t know a thing about you Ms. Davies and until today I didn’t even know your name.”

She got up from out of my arms. “Well I don’t know that much about you either. You live on North Ridge Street right?” Okay that was a little creepy.

“Umm… yes?”

“Cool. So do I. I live in the house across from you.” Huh I’ve never seen her before.

“You do? Did you just move or something?”

She shrugged. “No I’ve lived there my whole life.”

“What?!? I’ve lived right across the road from you for 15 years!?!? How come I’ve never seen you?”

“I just don’t go out much. So you wanna walk home?”

Okay this is extremely short and probably really annoying and I know I’ve been gone for a REALLY long time, but I just moved across the country and I’ve been trying to settle in. I’M SORRY!! Umm… please read and review. I’ll make the next chapter long and better…

Thank you to all the people who reviewed this story on the first two chapters. Sorry to let you down.
