-People can say he was selfish, but what they don't know is that at the end, he would give his life for her. And only for her-

"Ashley? Are you seriously waiting out here?" Sebastian asked and gently grabbed my hand and smiled. I was standing next to the school's parking lot. 

"I told Emma that I was going to meet her here" I said and looked around searching for her. But couldn't see her. "She's maybe inside?'' Sebastian mumbled and I looked around one more time.  "Okay, maybe" I started to walk towards our school and Sebastian walked close by holding my hand tightly. 

"Are you up to something tonight?" I asked Sebastian while opening the schools front door.
"I'm busy tonight, I'm sorry Ashley. But my grandparents are coming over and mom needs help with dinner" He said and tried to give me a small smile. I smiled back. 

"No it's okay" I answered and Sebastian squeezed my hand before releasing his grip around my hand. He does that everytime we're in public he doesn't want someone to see us holding hands. I don't really know why. I don't care if someone sees us, we're together.  but he Sebastian cares. 

I could see Emma's pink hair among all the people, I started to walk towards her. Sebastian was now standing next to his locker talking to his friends.

"Hey, we were supposed  to meet outside. Remember?" I said but Emma  totally ignored my question.
"Guess what?!" Emma said with a loud voice, she had a big smile all over her face.
"What?" I asked and Emma pulled me away from all the people.

"You know Waterford high...?" She asked. "Yeah" I nodded.  "Well it burned to the ground last night" She said happily. I gave her a confused look. 

Waterford high is  or was the other high school in this town.

"And why are you smiling? Is that a good thing?" I asked and opened my looker. Well, no not actually....Well for me and maybe for you too" She smiled big. And I tried to understand what she was trying to say while taking my books out of my locker.

"And why is that such a good thing for us?" I asked and closed my locker.
"Half of Waterford's students are going to begin here...and that means that we will get lots of new fresh boys!" She couldn't stop smiling. I rolled my eyes.

"Emma you have a boyfriend, seriously stop thinking about other guys" I said as she turned her head to look at her boyfriend who was talking to some other guys in the football team at the end of the hallway.  She looked back at me.

"Ashley you can't tell me that your still 'in love' with Sebastian right? He's boring and you need someone new, you deserve someone better than him. And you have chance this year to meet someone better then him"

"Emma. I like Sebastian. Okay?" She sighed and our teacher opened the classroom door and all the students walked into the classroom. Everyone was talking about Waterford High. I'm not surprised.

"I guess that everyone is aware of what happened at Waterford High last night. And you don't have to worry that there are students  that are going to come to your classes during the rest of this year. It's only last year's students that are coming to our school and you don't have to care about them at all, this means you can keep your mind on other things, like school and not the new students" My teacher said loudly and everyone went quiet.

Sebastian was looking at me from the other side of the classroom. "Ashley?" Emma whispered and I looked at her. She was sitting next to me. "Yes?" I whispered back without our teacher noticing that we were talking.

"We need to have a sleepover tonight so we can watch a movie or something" She said and I nodded.  "Okay great" I said and turned my attention to our teacher who was still talking about the fire at Waterford.
