Try Hard

Chapter Don't Stop (Ashton's P.O.V.)

When we got back to the house, Michael ran up the stairs immediately. To hide Ally's phone number, I guess. But I found it anyway.

It was in one of the drawers. It was a really bad hiding place. He must have been desperate to hide it, and was planning on moving it to somewhere else later. But I got to it before him.

I locked myself in the bathroom and called Ally. She picked up almost straight away. "Hello?" Even her voice was pretty. It was so sweet and high. "Um, hi, is this Ally?" I stuttered. "Uh huh!" she replied. "Is this Michael?" "No, I'm Ashton," I told her. "One of the boys that Michael was with in the café." "Oh, okay!" she said. "So, what can I do for you, Ashton?" "Well, I just thought that you were really hot, and um..." I heard Ally laugh. "People say that a lot," she giggled. "I don't even know why!" "You are really pretty though," I told her. She laughed again. "Thank you! Anyway, is there something you want?" "I was just wondering if...if you want to maybe meet up with me sometime?" "Sure!" she replied enthusiastically. "When and where?" I didn't want to seem to eager, Ally might think I was weird. And that's probably the last thing I wanted to happen.
"How about in the Cherry Blossom Café on...Sunday?" That was two days away. "That suits me!" Ally said. "I could be there at three o'clock!" "Great!" I told her. "See you then!" "Wait, Ashton!" she said quickly. "What?" "Which one of the boys that were there are you?" Ally asked. "So I'll recognise you," she added. "The one with the red bandana," I informed her. "Oh!" she said. "You're hot!" I blushed. "Um, thanks. See you on Sunday." "Bye!"
I hung up, and copied Ally's number into my phone before setting it down. I had a date with Ally.
