Chapter 6

Cathy's POV:

I saw Ashton note things into his book, we were both currently in psychology class that was about to end. It was the last class of the day. I looked at Ashton who was still nothing down the homework, his blondish-brown locks were perfectly curled, his eyes moved and now looked at me

"What're you looking at?" He asked

"Nothing just your notes" I said trying not to act suspicious

"I know you were staring at all the levels of gorgeous here" he said with an smirk on his face

"Where I'm looking for the gorgeous" I said in a taunting tone

"Funny" he said ironically

"It's where I shine" I said as the bell rung which meant it was time to leave

I put my books in my bag and so did Ashton, walking to my car I saw Luke and as anyone would predict Ashton and Luke started talking, as they were talking I felt a little invisible but everyone has felt that way before, no matter how popular anyone was.

"Hey Cathy" Luke said to me

"Hey" I said

After a while of talking to Luke, we finally walked to my car and got in, the car ride from school to my house was silent, not in an uncomfortable way though, it was good silent.

Ashton beside me on my couch.

"So how do u think we should start?" He asked

"I'm not sure, this assignment is a lot bigger than the last one" I stated

"I know, we have to research attitudes" he sighed

"How do we even do that?" I asked

"Well my first hope would be to scan your brain but that's not happening" he said jokingly

"Haha. Now being realistic, we could just google it and then read essays and papers and take valid points from multiple papers? So technically it's not plagiarism" I said

"That's a good idea" he said

"I can think of more than snarky comebacks in this mind" I stated with a smirk on my face

"Alright alright let's get to work!" he told me

After we finished the assignment we sat back and began talking, we spoke for a while till Kaylee came home from football practice

"Ok I had the worst day ever so first my shoe gets untied in the middle of practice and-" she stopped talking when she realized that I had company

"Heyyy Ashton right?" She asked

"Yeah, you must be Kaylee?" he asked

"Yeah I am, Cathy I didn't know you had company over today" she asked

"We were just doing an assignment" I said shrugging her off, I knew she thought something was going on between Ashton and I but it's nothing

"Anyways Ashton and I are heading out" I said

"We are?" He asked

"Yeah we are" I said

"So you have the place to yourself till I come home" I said as Ashton and I walked out now of my house

"Geese I didn't know she'd be back so soon" I said to Ash

"It's fine though, she seemed nice maybe you should try it" he said to me

"She is anything but nice, trust me" I said as we walked pout of the gate

"Where are we goin?" He asked

"We could go to this lake, I spend a lot of time there" I said to him

"We don't need to drive there?" He asked

"Not really its walking distance" I said as we walked

"I present to you my lake, well not mine but no one really comes here soo" I said as I showed him the place I liked to spend most of my time in, I had not been here in a couple of days, not quiet sure why though

"Woah, this place is cool" he said as we sat on the wooden planks that lead to the water

We dipped out feet in the warm water of the lake

"So how'd you find this place?" He asked

"I think I was 10 and playing with the neighborhood kids and we lost the ball we were playing with. Since I was the one who kicked it I went looking for it, while I didn't find the ball I did find this place" I told him, this has always been my favorite place ever since

"Thats so cool"

"I know right" I agreed

"Ashton?" I asked

"Yeah?"

"Why do you care about me?" I wanted to know why he's always been trying to be close to me, why did someone care about someone who was a total jerk to them? It always confused me, why did he do all of this when I was such a jerk?

"You wanna know the truth?" He asked looking deep into my brown eyes

"Of course I do" I said to him curiously

"I like you and truth be told I have since I moved here and when you tried to push me away it made me like you a bit more" his hazel eyes looked into mine as I couldn't believe his words

I inched closer to him and so did he then finally our lips met, I kissed him as I felt the newfound butterflies come alive again, I had never felt this way, the feeling of genuinely liking someone. It felt good. We slowly pulled away from the kiss

"What did just happen?" I asked him

"I'm not sure but I liked it"

"So did I" I said agreeing

I looked into his eyes for a brief moment and he looked right into mine, I felt a little bit of my head getting wet, it was about to rain

"Seems like it's going to rain" he said looking away

"If we don't leave we might get drenched" I said

"I've always wanted to kiss someone in the rain" I added

"I've wanted to kiss you, so it's a win win right" he said suggestively as I felt his soft lips over mine again, the rain wet my my body but all I could care about was Ashton, we got more into the kiss as I tugged on his now wet dirty blond hair

I pulled away breathlessly

"We need to go or we might catch a cold" I said as I stood up

"Fuck we gotta run home" he said

"You can dry up at my place and I'll drive you home" I said as we ran toward my house

"Thank you" he said

We finally got to my place, I opened the door to the living room to find my sister watching TV

"Kaylee could you just get us 2 towels?" I asked, her attention was now on us instead of the TV, she burst out laughing as she saw us drenched in cold water, she walked away and came back with the two towels, I handed one to Ash as we both wiped our hair.

"Let's go to my room, I need to blow dry my hair" I said as we walked up and into my room

Ashton looked around my room as I went into the bathroom to shower.

As I walked out of the shower I changed and then walked into my room, to find a cold Ashton

"If you want you could change the shirt" I told him

"Unless you have a shirt of my size I'm not sure much can be done"

"I have one of Noah's T-shirts" I said suggestively

"I'm only saying yes to this because it's the only option" he said as I handed him the black t-shirt, Ashton's pants didn't get as wet as his shirt and most of it was now dry

After Ashton put on the T-shirt I drove him home.

I lay in bed thinking about what would happen next, maybe it's the uncertainty that made this fun
