Class Act (ON HOLD)

Chapter 1

Ashton Calvert. Just the name is enough to make me scowl. So you could imagine my pain when I found out that we were both in the same CDC: career development course.

I was there to see what I wanted to do with my life after high school. He was there because we often go on long term trips to work in different fields and he wanted to screw around.

So when I walked into seventh period CDC, I was faced with my doom for the next year and a half. Ashton's face was staring right at me his grin spread wide across his face. I grimaced.

"Vi! How are you! I've missed you, haven't seen you recently which is strange considering you live right next to me?" He smile standing up trying to hug me. But I quickly ducked under his arm.

"It's Violet to you Calvert." I say shooting him a glare. "And this is because during the summer I actually do things. You know out of my bedroom."

"Oh Vi, if you hadn't noticed I am quite popular. So I had several things to do." He said flashing a cocky smile.

"Oh Ashton," I begin, putting my head on top of my interlaced fingers and batting my eyelashes. "How on earth will you survive after high school when the world won't give two shits about who you were in high school." I say smiling at him.

"Oh Vi, it's okay get with me and you'll be fantasized beyond your wildest dreams. "He says while leaning against my desk.

"Get lost Calvert." I growl leaning back and crossing my arms over my chest.

"Oh don't get your panties in a twist Bargade. Unless I can untwist them that is." He winks and I push him away before rising.

"Mr. Charleston how many others are in this class?" I ask making a sweet smile while silently chocking out Ashton with my imagination.

"Well Violet. In this class it appears to be just you and Ashton. All the other class periods were full." I stand looking at him with wide eyes. Oh you can not be serious. "And since you two were the only seniors to only take this class all year you must show up at ten o'clock everyday." I groan inwardly.

"Hear that Vi!? Me and you together for a whole year and a half." He said snickering while he kicked his feet up.

"If you keep calling me Vi, so help me God, I will slit your throat." I growl throwing a glare at him.

"Aw come on star." He says throwing his old nick name at me as if it would make me okay with him.

"You can't call me that anymore." I say low while walking back to my desk.

"Why not? You used to love it." He say grinning.

"Key word is used to sweetheart." I say giving him the most possible fake smile.

"Sweetheart? That is too cute do we have pet names now?" He says holding a hand to his heart.

"Go to hell." I say rolling my eyes.

"Only if I can meet you there." He says smiling. Then we were finally cut off by the bell.

"Okay you two. You already know the time you must be here so really this class shouldn't take too long. I hope." He says sighing as he pulls some sheet on the projector. He hands us a white paper with a list of what we needed.

"Our first trip is on Wednesday, but I expect you both to be packed by tomorrow. Here is a packet of what we will be doing. Our first career course is following my good friends in the red woods and watching the wild life." He says for some reason he was overly excited.

"Wait how long are we going to be there? And are we going to have to sleep in tents?" Ashton says and I snicker.

"Oh what's wrong pretty boy afraid of the outside life? No WiFi, no cell service." I ask in my whining voice.

"There's no service!?" He yells jumping from his seat.

"Nope the little fuckboy cant send his nudes." I tease singing it out.

"For your information I don't send nudes Vi, I receive them." He said grinning and I rolled my eyes. "But maybe for you I'd make a excuse." He said winking.

"In your dreams Calvert. God you're a perv." I scoff glaring at him.

"This class is going to be joyful I can tell." Mr.Charleston sighed. "We are going to be there for a week. Then when we get back we we will make presentations, with you partner, then the week after we will be leaving again." I take time thinking about what he said before blurting out the first questing that came to my head.

"Partners?" He laughed as he nodded.

"Yes Violet partners. I knew you'd ask. You and Mr. Calvert will be partners through out this course. Which means you will be permanent rooming partners as well.

Oh you have got to be shitting me.

"No Violet I am not, uh, shitting you." Mr. Charleston said. Oh god did I say that aloud. "Well class is dismissed, I expect your bags to be packed tonight." I grumble slinging my bag on my shoulder and walk out the room. With in seconds Ashton was falling into step with me casually his bag on one side of him. I let out a humph and walked a little faster not really making him change his pace due to his long strides.

"This will be exciting yeah? Just like old times." He says a smile tugging at his lips.

"This will not be just like old times." I say getting in my Honda Civic. He leans against the door stopping me from closing it.

"Come on Vi, don't be like that." He said still smiling. I pushed the door at him making him stumble back. I finally close it and start the car speeding out of the parking lot.

I drive to a Walmart and purchase some shorts. As Im shifting through the racks a face comes out startling me. Ashton smiles and crawls out. I clutch my heart staring at him in disbelief.

"Why would you do that!" I yell finally able to breath normally.

"Fancy seeing you here." He says twirling his key chain around his finger with his obnoxious grin.

"Are you stalking me around Calvert?" I ask glaring at him and set the many athletic bottoms and tops into my cart.

"Stalking is such a harsh term. I'd refer to use the term keeping a watchful eye." He says, I walk away not wanting to continue this conversation. I begin to check out and the scanner swipes a bag of peanut M&Ms and sets them in the bag. I scowl removing them and tossing them behind me knowing Ashton would catch them. I pay quickly and walk out Ashton right next to me.

"You owe me." I say unlocking my car.

"Definitely my dear." He says with a wink." See you tomorrow!" He yells as he walks away. Cocky bastard.

"Looking forward to it." I say with false enthusiasm. Not.
