"There is just one life for each of us, our own."- Euripides.
Ashley's POV
During break time I decide to go have some fun with my all-time favorite.
Novels
Cam decided she would rather have some alone time with food so I left her to it. I couldn't wait to get hold of the book I'd been reading for a while. This is the third time I'm visiting the school's library because of 'The Duff '.
Unfortunately, my school doesn't allow borrowing books so the only way I get to complete this book is by visiting the library more often, that is if the book is intriguing and I am intrigued.
I'll tell you a lil secret, I may or may not have a slight crush on Wesley Rush. I mean who wouldn't, ninety nine percent of the girls in his school looove him, who am I to not be a part of them? You might be like  'Seriously!! Crushing on a character?'
But then I can't resist okaaaaay?!!
I must say Bianca really had some balls to resist him.
Gosh!! She detests the guy
How did she even do it? Girls upon girls kept falling at his feet yet still got their hearts broken and it's not like they didn't know what they were signing up for. The guy doesn't do commitment. Why would you want him to change for you Hugh?!! Sorry to say this but sometimes we act stupid.
Not trying to justify his man whore ways but the guy had issues.
Immediately I find it, I pick it up and rush to the nearest table I could find. I plop on one of the chairs, I flip the pages getting on with where I ended last.
What page?
Aha!! Found it.
I do a mini squealy dance in my head, a smile gracing my lips. Now let's enjoy some fineness.

The day goes by on a whim.
The last thing I do before allowing darkness to lure me into its web of sleep is listen to my favorite song.
Why by Jonathan Mcreynolds.
He's my secret star crush. Shhhh!!! someone might hear you.
I wake up to the aroma of doughnuts.
Doughnuts !! Oh my Oh my Oh my.
My favorites
I rush to the bathroom to have a three-second bathing session. Haha ... just kidding but it was pretty fast. I just couldn't wait to relish the taste of goodness.
I come out of the bathroom in my towel. I quickly pull a chair from the side of my drawer and plop on it. In five minutes I was done drying my ginger locks. I dress up take my bag and head for the dining room.
"Good morning Dad." I greet immediately.
"Morning pumpkin, how was your night?" he asks.
"Amazing. Yours?"
"Pretty good. Having your mum beside me is more than enough to make my night " He blushes. Is it possible to still blush at this age in marriage? Just wow !!
"Awww... cute dumplings." I tease and Dad cackles in laughter. Mom emerges with the doughnuts in her hands. She sets it down and takes her seat. Just then Dylan emerges from his room and descends the stairs.
He makes his way over to the dining table and takes his seat, he mutters a good morning as he plops down.
We say our prayer and dig in.
"Lucas will be joining us next week," Dad informs Midway.
"Lucas?" both Dylan and I ask in shock.
"Yes," he confirms.
What's my cousin coming to do here?
"What's he coming down here to do?" Dylan voices out my thoughts.
"Joining you in school," Dad replies.
"Why?" I chip in.
"Having slight issues, he'll be joining us for now. He's going to attend your school and he'll probably fly back when you guys are done with senior year." He rushes out.
"Oh okay," I say.
"And..." Mom says "You better treat him nicely. I know it's been a while since you've seen or spoken to him." she points at both of us.
"Of course." Dylan scoffs while I just mutter an 'okay'.
To tell you the truth Dylan doesn't like Lucas, been that way since we were kids. I quite remember one time Lucas came to stay with us during a school break, they fought throughout that break. Either it was an argument or getting physical.
I think Lucas is pretty cool but Dylan would beg to differ, he hates his gut. I've been trying to put a finger on why they're the way they are since forever but nothing clicks, no hints as to why they can't stand each other. Hopefully, they're matured now and won't get into unnecessary conflicts.
Hopefully
After breakfast Mom pecks our cheek and Dad hugs us both before we leave for school.
School went by smoothly and then it was time for English class.
"We're going to be acting a play, Wuthering Heights. I'm going to assign characters and you all will do well to comply." Miss Brooke informs before starting the lesson.
And there was a closing when I told Cam about Lucas. She squealed in delight. She kept on blabbering about him throughout our ride back home. According to her, she couldn't wait to meet her crush. 'I bet he's hot', her words, not mine. Truth is she doesn't even know him, she's not even seen his face yet.
__ __ __
I thought I had seen it all craziness until I was woken up at seven am on a beautiful Saturday morning by no other Cam.
I was heavily asleep when I felt a weight on me, someone's weight to be precise interrupting my peaceful slumber. I tried to push whatever or whoever it was away so that I could go back to sleep but then they wouldn't budge. I groan and the weight rolls off me. I thought I was free to go back to sleep but little did I know what was held in store for me.
I heard a chuckle and before I could comprehend what was happening my duvet was lifted off me and my sides tickled. I swat the hands away and open my eyes only to come in contact with the chocolate orbs of my best friend.
"Cam?!!" I screech "What the heck do you think you're doing in my room?"
"I dunno?..." she grins "...I just miss you."
Liar
"That's a lie" I state.
"Well..." she trails thinking of another lie to come up with.
"Well?" I push further.
"Um, I ...kindaneedafavorfromyou." she rushes out of her lips.
"Hugh??!!" I raise my brows and she batts her lashes at me.
"I need a favor." she pouts.
"What favor?" I sigh.
"Lucas' Instagram handle."
"So you woke me up because of this ?" I scoff unbelievably.
She continues batting her lashes at me with a permanent pout evident on her lips.
"Okay, fine!" I say after what feels like forever, at my response, her eyes shine in delight.
"Awww, Love you," she crushes me in a hug giggling, "....you're like so amazing. You're the best...." she pulls away and pecks my cheek.
"Okay, okay enough." I say "Hand me your phone."
She takes out her phone and hands it over to me. I take it from her and search for Lucas' account. I follow and hand Cam back her phone.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you." she pecks my cheek once more.
"You're welcome."
