“So is this your first day here Ashley? I don’t think I have seen you around before.” Aiden says.

“Yea, I kinda got kicked out of my last school.”

“For real. Where did you go?” God could this boy be any more nosey?

“Westcott Academy.” Private school, she must be rich or really bright or both. But considering she didn’t pay attention once in class I’m going to say she is just rich.

“That’s a private school isn’t it?” I have to ask.

“Yea it is.”

“So how come you have ended up in a public school instead of another private one? If you don’t mind me asking?” Ok now I’m the one being nosey.

“That’s the second private school I have been kicked out of, so my mom decided that she wasn’t going to waste anymore money to send me to another private school.”

She’s rich, see I was right. “Oh.” It’s the best I can come up with.

We arrive at the quad to find that the only empty table is the one that’s only two tables over from the ones that are unofficially reserved for the jocks and the cheerleaders. Just great. Luckily, for me the squad is not here yet. We sit down with me next to Aiden and Ashley across the table from us.

“So how do you like King High so far Ashley?” Aiden asks.

“It’s school, what else is there to say. Although I was rather impressed by the little floor show you two put on earlier.” She replies with a smile.

“Yea that was just Madison being a bitch as usual.” Aiden replies sending her a smile.

I swear he has not taken his eyes of her once. Hello, he is supposed to be pretending to be dating me, and staring at the hot new girl is not going to help make people believe it. I’m surprised he isn’t drooling. I sneakily kick him in the shin under the table.

“OW! What the he…” he stops as soon as he notices the glare I am giving him.
Ashley just keeps looking at Aiden then back at me with an amused look on her face.

“You ok there Aiden?” She asks with a Smirk

“Yea I’m fine just banged my knee on the table.” he smiles at her before turning to me. “Babe, I’m going to go, I need to go speak to coach. I’ll see you after your next class and we can walk to bio together.”
