It had been 6 years since I had last seen them, SIX long years. I and my family had to move, we had no choice it was only so we could take care of my brother Joey, he had, had an accident so the family moved to New York so we could look after him properly, my brother Vitto was against moving and all but we didn't have a choice. So in New York I had made friends best friends in fact and enemies, when I got there I realised I was turning into my worst nightmares 'The Ashley's' I began to wear tight clothes and revealing tops. That's how I got into the popular group, no one dared mess with me. Now I was going back to wear I started I was going back to Third Street. of course I was going to Third School High coz well believe it or not I'm 15 now, see the good thing about being 15 is that you get to do what you want and best is your parents can't control you or maybe yours can but I am the uncontrollable.

"Ashley wake up!" Mum yelled from downstairs it was the first day of my new high school. Damn. I wasn't excited at all.

"Ok mom be down in 30 minutes." I got up 5 minutes later and went to take a shower, when I finished that I picked out my clothes, today I'm going to where a mini black skirt and black lace up boots and a white v-neck top. My hair will be tied up with pins and I will be wearing my red lipstick. See what I was talking about I'm an Ashley. I walked into the kitchen to say bye to my mum.

"Hey ma got to go." I said I didn't want her to lecture me as usual about me being a goody two shoes.

"Err Ashley remember what I keep telling you k hunny?" Mum said.

"Yeah mum I'll be good." I said with a wink and walked out the door.

I was walking to school when I saw a group of boys and girls. They looked like the popular people that used to be me before I moved to this miserable town. The three boys were holding on to one girl each, the girls looked like real tarts.

I walked passed them swiftly like they were invisible. There dare not talk to me in school or else.

I changed my route and went to Kelso's I had to see if the old man was still in business. I see he never quit.

I walked into the shop but no one was at the counter just at that moment a boy walked out he looked the same age as me, he was carrying a few books, he looked like he was going to school. He was quite cute he looked quite built and he had the most beautiful eyes I had ever in my entire 15 years old life, they were green with a mixture of hazel and blue.

"We'd better call God coz he's missing an Angel." he said that was so sweet he called me an angel.

"Oh I'm flattered, you are?" I asked he came to stand in front of me making me seem timid.

"Sorry Tyler and you?" he said

"Ashley." I said

"I see you're one of the Ashley's." he said to me.

"No way I hate the Ashley's, I'm a new student in the school, could you be my escort?" I asked I could now feel my self blushing.

"I would love to." he replied he smiled at me showing pearl white teeth "let me lock up first."

"You work here?" I asked it sounded like I was baffled.

"Yes I do." he said

"What happened to Mr Kelso." I said I had a bad feeling in me. I knew exactly what the answer was.

"You didn't you know? he passed away a couple of months ago and left me in charge." he said

"Sorry just moved back." I said .

"So… you've lived here before have you?" he asked me, I didn't like telling my history to anyone but he seemed different.

"Yeah actually I have but I had to move." I replied in a matter of fact voice.

"Well were here. And its 9:10 oh no we gotta move were late. I'll see you around k?" he said he's voice rising.

"Ok then." I replied quietly and they parted .

I reached the office and the receptionist led me to the principal's office. He looked like a kind man but I was not fooled by appearances.

"Hello Ms Spinneli welcome to TSH if you have any questions ask and here is your time table so please be on your way.

"Thank you sir, I think I'll find this place hospitable." I said in a sickly sweet way.

"Alright now run along." he said. As I walked out of his office.

I knocked softly on the class door, The noise from the class was hectic man.

"Come in." said the class teacher who I think her name was Ms Midget she was a short plum woman she looked kind and her voice was cheery. I was getting freaked already. "You must be our new student, Class this is Ms Ashley Spinneli".

I didn't even bother saying hi or anything , I just took a seat and looked at the board and did the work. At the end of class I packed up my books and looked for my locker. I found it man was this school annoying. Everything about it annoyed me. I had nothing better to do so I decided to just walk about. I saw Tyler he was talking to the boys I saw earlier today as I was walking to school.

"Hey T. was sup with you, so you walking a chick to school today." A boy said.

"What's her name anyway." Another boy asked.

"Oh her, her name's Ashley." Tyler said

"You think you could introduce us?" Another boy said. As I heard that I headed straight for them they all looked pretty cute.

"Hi Ashley we were just talking about you." Tyler said to me.

"So I heard." I said "Ashley here, who are you guys?" I asked.

"Oh I'm T.J, this is Vince and that one is Lawson." T.J said. My eyes widened in surprise, they were my old friends I couldn't believe Lawson was with them. "What's the surprise?" He asked.

"Oh nothing sorry got carried away with something, Tyler are you doing something after school?" I asked quickly I had to cover my surprise.

"Yeah I've got football practise and I have to look after the store." he said.

"Oh no worries I- err just forget it k see you around." I said and walked away how dare he turn me down, as I walked away I heard the other boys say to him 'how can someone in their right mind turn that down!" and he said 'y'all know I have to look after the store!"

It was the end of the day and was raining like mad. Oh no my top it was getting see through, I covered it with my books and made my way home. As I was walking I heard someone call me.

"Ashley!" He said it sounded like T.J. I looked back his hair was flattened by the rain, his chocolate eyes looking deeply mesmerized.

"hi don't you have football practise or something?" I asked him as he met up with me.

"No it was cancelled dang rain!" he said with frustration.

"Right ok." I said.

"Can I ask you something?" he asked me.

"yeah sure." I said.

"what's your surname?" he asked

"Oh its Spinneli. Ashley Spinneli. Why?" I asked him

"You don't remember me do you?" T.J said.

"Why should I?" I asked him.

"T.J Detwhiler." he said.

"Wow!" I said and threw my arms around him, dropping my books on the floor his eyes were wide. "Sorry." I apologised.

"No prob, so you mind if I walk you home?" he said.

"Well we are half way so I guess it wouldn't hurt." I said. We walked home talking about the past and how much fun we had until we got to my doorstep.

"Well were here." he said looking deeply into my eyes, I knew what he wanted to do but I also knew Vitto would torment me for the rest of my life so I took the easier option he leaned forward I put my finger to his lips and kissed his cheek.

"Don't ruin the moment I'll see you tomorrow k." I said

"Bye" he said. And then I closed the door.

"Hey Ashley hunny back so soon, join us for dinner later k got to go bye." Mum said and quickly closed the door.

"Wonder where she was going." I thought wait she wouldn't, I'll kill her!
