~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The next morning I woke up feeling bright and excited.
"Today is going to be a good day.." I said aloud to myself.
Standing in the bathroom, I stared at my reflection in the mirror. I had gotten up a half hour earlier than usual to make sure that I looked my best. I had chosen my outfit carefully, trying not to look quite as preppy as I had the day before. I had ended up chosing a purple tank top with a grey lace t-shirt over top, and dark wash denim capris. I threw my mousy brown hair up in a half ponytail, and applied a bit of makeup. I hadn't straightened my hair, so it was natrually wavy.
"I suppose that's as good as it gets.." I whispered.
I went downstairs to grab some breakfast and my stuff. As I ate my granola bar, my excitement grew. And I knew why. In just a few minutes, I would get to see Destery. For some odd reason, this made me extremely happy.
I heard a car horn, and ran out the door. My high spirits fell instantly. I saw not two, but one guy sitting in the car waiting on me. Jaxon was all alone in the drivers seat. I quickly got into the car and fastened my seatbelt. Maybe this day wasn't going to be as good as I thought it would.
"I see that I'm the only passenger you have today?" I asked casually, trying not to sound too concerned.
"Yup. Des has just been riding with me for the past few weeks because his car has been in the shop. He got it back this morning." Jaxon replied.
Duh. Destery told me that last night. I must've forgotten. I giggled to myself, I truly am just like my mother.
"Anyways, what was that all about yesterday?" Jax asked suddenly.
"What was what about?" I asked, playing dumb.
"Why did he go over to your house last night?"
"Who? Des?"
"No. The pope." Jaxon retorted.
"No need to get your knickers in a twist, Jax. He only came over to help unpack, and we hung out for a bit afterwards. I didn't know that was a crime in Florida."
"Well, excuse me if I'm a bit protective of my cousin," he sofened his tone, then said, "I just don't want you to get hurt, Ash."
"Im not going to get hurt. Trust me, I know how to guard myself. I've only been doing it my whole life."
With this said, I turned away from him and faced out the window. As I watched the trees go by, I thought about what Jaxon had said. Why was he so worried about me getting hurt? He didn't even know what kind of feelings I had for Destery. And, wasn't Des supposed to be his best friend? Des was a good guy, right?
When we arrived at the school, Jaxon got out in a hurry and started to walk away, but I ran to keep up with him.
"What makes you think I think of Des that way anyways, huh? I just met him, we're only friends. And if he is such a bad guy, why are YOU friends with him?" I demended.
