Ashli's PoV
So, after finding out I didn’t make the cheerleading team because Alexis is a jealous bitch, I decided to let it go and not let it get to me because without me, her team is nothing. Well besides for Jess and Sage, her team sucks, but it’s whatever. I've decided that I'm going to go to every football game, not only to support my friends but to get under Alexis’s skin. And since I’m letting stuff go, I’ve decided to forgive Diggy and what he’s done, but not forget about it.
Diggy's PoV
It’s been almost a week since that dreaded Thursday and Ashli is still mad at me. I really need to talk to her. Even if she doesn’t want to get back together, I at least want to have her back as my best friend. During fourth period I texted her:
Diggy<3sAshli: meet me at the bathroom in 5?
She surprisingly texted back
Ashli=Single;) – Fine.
After getting the pass I waited outside the bathroom for her. “Hey Digg.” Said a voice from behind me. I turned around to see none other than Alexis. Since Ashli wasn’t here yet, I figured I should talk to Alexis real quick. “Look Alexis we need to talk.” “No problem, let’s talk in here.” She said pulling me in the janitor’s closet and pushing me against the wall. She crashed her lips into mine then pulled away and began nipping and sucking at the skin of my neck and when she dropped down to her knees, I didn’t stop her.

I decided to give Diggy a chance and go talk to him or let him talk. As I approached the bathroom I saw he wasn’t there and guessed he'd probably left because it too me so long to get the pass from my ass of a teacher. I decided to actually go in the bathroom since I was already there. On my way out, the janitor’s closet adjacent to the bathroom opened at the same time and from it came…Diggy and Alexis. Once I saw Alexis applying more lip gloss and Diggy fixing his pants zipper, I knew exactly what went down in that closet. (No pun intended :P) “Wow Diggy!” I screamed at him. “Wait no Ashli,” “To think, I was actually considering giving you a second chance.” I said shaking my head. “Ashli! Ashli!” he called after me but I kept walking back towards my fourth period wiping my eyes feverishly of the loose tears streaming down my face. Once I got back I threw the pass on the teacher’s desk and stormed over to my seat next to Jessica. “Whoa. Are you ok?” she whispered to me and I just shook my head. “What’s,” “Miss Simmons, Miss Bellz, anything you’d like to share with the class?” Mr. Williams asked, looking up at us from the dry erase board. “No sir.” We said together. Seconds later, Jessica slid a note over to me. What’s wrong?? I replied then slid it back over to her. She read my response, looked back at me and shook her head. I wrote: Two words: your brother.
The whole rest of the day I tried to avoid Diggy as best I could but he just couldn’t take a hint. He texted me, sat next to me, and even tried to flat out talk to me. At lunch the girls even offered to sit at another table, which was an offer I took them up on. The whole time during lunch Diggy sat there with his head in his hands and Alexis trying to talk to him. I rolled my eyes at her futile attempt to get his attention.
“So Ashli, you want to help me get ready?” Jessica asked me during study hall but I wasn’t paying attention, for some reason I was too busy daydreaming about what me and Diggy could’ve been. High school sweethearts, married, have a family, living in the big house with the white picket fence and a dog. The whole nine yards. “Ashli. ASHLI!” Jessica shouted in my ear. “What?” I shouted back at her irritated. “Ugh, well excuse me.” I sighed, “Sorry Jess. What were you saying?” “Ugh, if you were listening, you’d know I said Aaron asked me out for Friday night and I have no idea what I'm gonna wear, my hair, makeup and I really need your help. Please.” She begged. “I-I-I- I don’t know Jess. You know he’s gonna be there and,” “Look don’t worry. I've been giving the silent treatment too so he won’t bother either one of us. Besides I heard him say something about going over Lil’s to play basketball and such. So PLEASE!” “Jess, I have to see what I’m doing that day.” “Come on! You know you have nothing better to do.” She said with her hand so on her hips. She was right. I was probably going to stay in all weekend and drown myself in ice cream and Japanese candy. “Please please please please please please please please please please please please puh-lease!” she begged again, this time getting down on the floor and hugging my feet. “Ok Jess. Ok, I’ll help you, now get off the floor!” I said knowing we were attracting attention. When I looked around all eyes were on us so I just flipped everyone of while Jessica dusted herself off. “Thank you!” she said squeezing me in a big hug. “Yeah yeah. What time do you want me there?” “Well, he’s coming to get me at 8 so, 5?” “Ok see you then.” I said as I got up when the bell rang. I headed to my locker then started walking home since Jessica was my ride and she had practice.
