As she sat twirling her hair, she stared at the vacant screen which was supposed to contain her English paper that was due the following day. 'Why did I decide to come to the library?' she thought aimlessly. She knew that she would not be able to concentrate with so many people hanging around the lounge. But she figured if she stayed at the dorm, she REALLY wouldnt get any work done.
"Ashlynn, hey gurl!"
She turned as she heard her name being hollered from the other end of the room. 'No, Ive been discovered,' she contemplated. Walking toward Ashlynn with determination buring deep within, was Sierra.
"Hey, Sierra. Whats up?" Ashlynn declared with fake enthusiasm. She really need to finish this essay.
"Well I called around and found out that there is going to be a HUGE, and I mean huge, bash tonight at Owen's place. I came to find you so that we can plan what to wear!" The look on Sierra's face said she desperatly wanted to go.
"Well, Sierra Im really sor....."
"Please, dont say it. If you really dont wanna hang with me its fine." Her faced dropped in dismay.
"No, thats not it. Its just I have the English paper to finish for Duff's class. And its due tomorrow and if I dont finish it Im not gonna pass the class and my mom is gonna kill me and Im not gonna get into a good college..." I rambled until Sierra cut in.
"Dude, calm down. Duff posted a bulletin saying that the essay wont be due till next Thursday because he had a family emergency or something. Geez, girl, you NEED a break. Come out with me tonight. Devin will be there." With the last statement Sierra's smile increased until she was grinning ear to ear.
Ashlynn blushed as she tried to pretend that she didnt care. She said nonchalantly, "maybe I can make it after all, since it looks like Im not THAT busy." Deep down, her heart was screaming and she felt she would pop from the butterflies in her stomach. She knew Devin was her soul mate and she would do just about anything to get him to notice her. She had to be at that party! This would be the night that she worked up the courage to finally talk to him.
