Blooming Friendships or Booming Hardships? (Post 8)
Zoie’s dyedpink hair was parted in curly pig tails revealing blond roots grown in, black kohl coated violet eyes sparkled as she laughed with her friends. She popped another fry with extra salt, the only thing she ever ate for lunch, into her mouth.
One of her friends, the one with short cropped brown hair and dull eyes squealed excitedly.
“What are you squealing about Ashley?” Rondell, another friend asked covering one ear.
“It’s HIM” Ashley pointed.
The whole table turned to fallow her finger to see a short messy haired boy with geeky glasses. Everyone stared at Ashley as if she had gone crazy.
“Not HIM, the one sitting down.”
Again the whole table turned to find the person she was squealing over. And there he was sitting at a table behind the guy with glasses, the boy Ashley had been obsessing over since that morning. They had found out his name was Edmond after a little detective work for her.
Maranda nudged Ashley “Go over and talk to him!” Ashley blushed and shook her head no.
“How could I? He’s so hot, and I’m so….not.” Zoie started to nod at this when Rondell kicked her under the table.
“You’re totally hot Ashley, you should go and ask if you can eat with him.” Zoie managed to say half cringing and rubbing her leg.
Ashley blushed harder, “O..ok I’ll go ask him.”
“Really?!” Zoie blurted out earning her another kick to the shin.
Ashley Picked up her tots and walked over to Edmond. Zoie and the rest of the girls watching her in amazement.
That’s when Zoie noticed a person who was sitting behind her loudly talking about ‘Sycamore Hypothesis’ a local band.
“ASHER!” Zoie jumped up and hugged Asher from behind. “I didn’t think you where going to make it to the first day of school!”
Asher stopped mid rant and strained his neck to see who was hanging on him.
“Zoie! Of course I made it to school, I even got her by 3rd period.”
Zoie giggled and sat down next to Asher already forgetting Ashley’s plight “I finally get to be in school with you again, it feels good to be a high schooler.” Zoie smiled and flicked her head in Fai’s direction “Who’s your new friend?”
Asher smiled at her “This is …uh….OH DUDE you never told me your name!”
Zoie giggled, “That’s just like you Asher,” she glanced over at the other boy “I’m Zoie nice to meet you, it’s good to see Asher can make friends.”
