“hello?” I heard her answer on the other line

“hey…it’s Ashley…” I told her

“oh…hey what’s up?” she asked

“uh…not much, I was wondering if you’d want to hang out or something tonight?” I asked her

“like a date?” she replied

“um…no” I said simply “what happened to that whole friends thing?”

“I was just checking you’d stick to what you said…” she said

“uh huh…sure” I replied “…so do you want to hang out or no?”

“sure…when and where though?” she asked me

“um…well Aiden’s not here tonight, so if you wanted you could come over here…”

“so we’d be alone?”

“okay fine…if you don’t want to be with me alone, then I have to do some recording but you can stop by and we can like get food after or whatever” I offered

“where do you do like the recording stuff?”

“uh you know that studio on West and Forth?” I asked her

“yeah…” she said “…I think so”

“well the third building on the right once you make the turn from Cedar…” I told her “…you’ll see it, it looks like a record store until you walk in…”

“okay…well maybe I’ll stop by there…”

“alright…” I said smiling into the phone “…so I’ll see you later?”

“maybe…” she said hanging up the phone

About an hour later I was at the studio messing around with the guys “you need a warm-up?” Jeremy asked me

“no, but I bet you I can lay down a drum line to Low…” I bet him

“psh yeah right…” he told me “…that’s pushing it too far” he said then I picked up my drum sticks and went into the studio

“you should record this…and I want twenty bucks when you admit it sounds awesome!” I told him through the microphone

***********************************************

I walked into Ashley’s studio and three guys were standing in front of a sound board looking amazed when I opened the door “dude…I hope you have twenty bucks…” one of the guys with shaggy brown hair said to another wearing a trucker hat

“oh hey…” one of them said looking at me

“hey…is Ashley here?” I asked them

“oh yeah, she’s in there winning a bet right now” the guys with shaggy brown hair said and the other guys punched him then I looked into the room and Ashley was in there on the drums with huge headphones on her ears drumming to Low by Flo Rida “dude she’s killing you” he told the guy as Ashley’s hands moved at an uncontrollable speed
