I can never think of something to say.

Julie's  pov:
"And that's it for today class homework will be posted after school." Mrs. Delta says.

All the kids in the class complained, well, except me, reading is my favorite subject.

Some may call it weird, strange, or an insult to society, but I like getting the homework assignments.

What?

I need something to make up my lack of having a social life okay?

Plus, I've always just had this liking of reading and writing.

When I talk to someone face to face, it's hard to express my thoughts or opinions.

The fact that they could judge me for it, or assume things about me just makes me feel uncomfortable when I am put in a situation like that.

That's why I am not a very outspoken person.

I keep my thoughts to myself rather than making sure my points gets across.

That's why I enjoy writing so much.

I feel like I can safely express myself, without having anxiety about myself.

As I leave the classroom and head towards my bus, I couldn't help but notice the familiar face of Mrs. Rider.

"Hey Alissa!!" I grin, giving her a small wave, grabbing her attention as she looks over at me.

"Why hello Julie, how was your day?" She asks, walking towards me.

As students walked around us, I knew I had nothing to worry about since it actually takes awhile for students to board a bus.

Why? Because apparently it is hard to walk normally.

But I guess I would know, I trip over air almost every day.

"It was great, but, if you don't mind me asking, why are you here? Not to be rude or anything but doesn't Ashton have his own car?" I ask her.

Wow, I sound like a stalker.

"Oh, he got grounded from it about 5 minutes ago, I'm guessing he got into some more trouble. He even broke some other kids wrist. I don't even know what to do with him anymore, but enjoy the rest of your day Julie." She says while starting to speed walk into the school.

I couldn't help but shake my head, I feel so bad. She didn't just look tired, but she seemed stressed and fed up at the same time.

With those thoughts lingering in my head, I board the bus and sit in the front.

Hey I see the message light up on my phone screen. It was an unknown number, but I soon realize that I gave Gianna my number after the hallway... incident.

But I got to know her better as the day came to an end. She's actually really nice.

What's up?

The sky

Please don't.

Or should I say...

Gianna no.

The universe.

And this is why... actually I have no explanation.

Why.. just why.

Haha laugh out loud

You know you can just say lol.

Doesn't that mean lots of love?

Yeah... no.

I probably look like a manic now because I'm smiling and laughing to myself while reading over the text messages.

But you know what, I am setting a good example.

And that is why people should not take drugs.

I turn around and see that same Freshman from before looking at me like a creep.

I just slowly turn back around and put away my phone just in case.

~~~~

"I'm home!!" I walk into my house from the longest bus ride I probably have ever experienced.

"Hey honey, how was your first day?" My mom asks.

Too be honest, compared to previous first days in the past, this one was actually okay. I didn't spend the whole day completely alone.

"It was good." I smile as she smiles back.

"That's good to here, I know first days can always be rough."

I nod my head at her and grab my laptop and look up the homework that's due tomorrow.

Apparently this school has this website where the teachers post the homework online.

Where would we be without technology?

'Today we talked about how books can include wisdom to identify a certain key point in the story, write an essay on why it is important to have wisdom.'

Remember when I mentioned that I liked writing?

Well, let's just say there are some off days.

I get explaining wisdom, but an essay? What do you want us to say?

Oh one day I went up to Walmart and I had money for either an apple or a snickers bar. Since I am wise, I choose the snickers bar because I like snickers more than apples.

Nailed it!

Closing my laptop, I just convince myself that I will do it later tonight.

I grab the book on my dresser that I began yesterday and find a comfortable place in my bedroom to sit in read for the next hour or two.

I am silently reading when something catches my eye, I slowly look out my window to see a...

See a...

Oh...

My...

Holy...

Guacamole...

Is that a....

HALF NAKED ASHTON!

Oh god. Um. What do I do?

What do I do?!!!

My window looks right into his.

He can see me!!

...

I can see him!!!

Do I close my blinds?

What if he sees?

So I keep checking him out?

That's not rude, is it?-...

NO!!

What if I just don't look at it.

NO BUT IT'S SO DISTRACTING!!

WHY IS HE ONLY IN A BATH TOWEL!!!

Sure it's his room but...

He should consider that there is someone who's window is so close that I could straight up reach over and touch his bedroom window.

I need to close my blinds.

Well, correction...

I need to close my blinds so the half naked Ashton does not see me.

How hard can it be right?

I can just ninja roll to the blinds and close them.

Okay I got this.

Just duck and roll.

I lay down my book and stand up.

Then, I close my eyes and do like 6 rolls from one side of my bedroom to the other.

I was about to do a 7th when I ran into the wall underneath the window...

That hurt.

I very...very slowly standup and I'm about to close the blinds when...when...

I find....

THE HALF NAKED ASHTON IS ALREADY WATCHING ME!!

Smiling?

No laughing!!

I just stand there totally speechless.

What have I done.

What have I done.

What have I done.

He probably just saw me do ninja rolls from one side of my room to the other.

This is so embarrassing!

He then does a slow clap and my face is probably as red as a tomato.

"Woah, I have never seen someone do ninja rolls across their bedroom before" he says grinning.

"It..um..it.. it was for an important cause!!" I say naming the first thing off my head.

I..

Why.

Why me.

Out of all the people.

Why him.

"A good cause huh?" He asks mockingly, still grinning.

"Y-yes" I say looking down.

"I mean, I have been called attractive before, but I never thought it would be mentioned as a good cause." he says, running a hand through his wet hair, giving a infamous smirk with his pearly white teeth.

God bless his dentist.

And while you're add it, bless me too.

Please let this be a nightmare, please let this be a nightmare!!!

If it is, I promise I will share my skittles more often!!

Maybe...

Kinda...

Probably not.

But does he think?

"That's not it!"
"Yes it is"
"No"
"Yes"
"No"
"You find me extremely attractive."
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"No!"
"Yes...crap!"

"Ha!" He says. He is now sitting on his window dangling his legs out side.

He is finding me amusing! How rude. Full house quote

"I never hinted that you were attractive." Trying to make it clear to him.

"But your body language was saying something else"

"Huh? What body l-"

"Like rolling across your bedroom floor then running into a wall? That has to mean something." He says in a matter of fact tone bringing it up again.

"That was not the reason."
"Yes it was"
"No it wasn't"
"Yes"
"No"
"Yes"
"No
"I'm attractive."
"No wait what?"

Why does he keep changing the topic to him being attractive?

I mean, do I find him attractive?

...

Not the point.

"It's not my fault you happened to walk around your room half naked and not giving a bother to the neighbor who can see right through your window!!" Turning the conversation on him.

"Well I didn't know I was gonna have some chick staring at me from her window!!" He says turning it once again back on me.

"You're happy I don't have a shirt on." He says yet again out of nowhere.
"Cocky much"
"No"
"Yes"

"Wait hold on.." he says like he just figured sometime out.

He has the worst timing in existence.

"The black rimmed dorky glasses-..."

"Excuse you-.."

"The pile of books behind you-.."

"Hey!"

"Looking at your homework, probably advanced classes... you're a nerd!" He says like he just won the lottery.

"So?" I ask.

I mean, yes I am aware that I am one, but he didn't have to say it like that.

"So..I think it's cute"

"No it's..wait what?"

"I SAID IT'S C-" he starts to say again, his hands around his mouth to make the words seem louder than I wanted it to be.

What? There could be some seriously mean people living in this neighborhood.

Old people... definitely old people.

"Okay okay!" I hurriedly interrupt him. I think he officially made this conversation extremely awkward.

...

No wait, it got awkward the second I decided to start my dream life of being a ninja.

He's about to say another stupid remark when I hear my mom calling me down stairs for dinner so I think of a polite why to end this conversation...FAST.

"See ya" I say out of nowhere and close the curtain.

Yea that will do.
