Ashlyn's POV

Wow for once something interesting went on in my life and I was thrilled! Emma and I went out for our usually Starbucks run after school. She went for her usual Mango Dragonfruit Refresher, whereas I just went for my Pink Drink. We went over to my house to hang out and do some homework. "So are you gonna text him?" Emma asks me. I didn't want to come off as clingy; we're both doing our own things, so i just let it be until he texts me first...I hope he texts me first. "Nah, I'll text him later" I respond back to Emma. I didn't want her to be up on my ass. Yeah, she's my best friend, but I want to keep whatever Grayson and I possibly have private because what if it doesn't go right? I don't want to look stupid.

*Skip two hours later*

Emma had left to go home early since her mom wanted home to eat together as a family. Usually her dad is busy at his office since he's an attorney, so it's like a big deal when he's home for dinner. KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! "Ashlyn are you gonna come eat dinner?", my little sister Clarissa asks. To get my mind off of Grayson, it was best for me to go eat dinner with my family. I didn't want to keep thinking on when he'll text me. In the middle of dinner my mom goes "did anything interesting happen today at school?" with a grin on her face. "Nope same old same old" I respond back with some confusion in why she was smirking. "Clarissa tells me you're texting a boy, is that true?". Damn I'm gonna kill her. "No mom there's no guy I'm texting, you know what I'm not hungry, I'm just gonna do my homework and go to bed..night". Just when i thought dinner would be a distraction. Don't get me wrong I'm close with my mom, but I don't want her hovering in something like this if it's uncertain. My dad doesn't bug me as much since he's chill.

I go up to my bathroom to go take a shower and change into some fresh clothes to get ready for my evening. Nothing major, just one of my dad's old shirts and flannel pajama pants. I then proceeded to take my contacts off and switch into my glasses and honest it felt great to take them off. Once I made it back to my room, I went to go start my homework. I put on "Fine Line" by Harry Styles and the time on my phone read 9:30pm. I want to get done with most of my homework by 11. At this point, I was starting to think Grayson wasn't going to text me.
