i haven't talked to amelia since we were at her house a couple days ago, i assume she just got in trouble or something.

i hope it isn't because i brought ashtray with me.

—————————

as me, fezco, and ashtray all walked out of the the house, going to the car because we were going to open the store. i smiled, "fez, can i drive?"

almost immediately, "no." both of them said.

"ashtray can though? pleaseeeee." i put my hands together, standing next to fezco.

"mal-." fez started, only to be cut off by ashtray. "no."

"you can't say yes or no." i rolled my eyes, turning back to fez.

he didn't say anything for a minute, before glancing at ashtray and sighing. "fine."

"what?!" ashtray exclaimed, stopping him once he tried handing me the keys.

fez chuckled, handing me the keys, and with that i sarcastically smiled at ashtray, opening the driver door and sitting down before he could stop me.

"fez, she's gonna crash." ashtray tried getting him to change his answer, but fezco was already sitting in the passenger seat, leaving him to sit in the backseat.

"oh my god." he shook his head, opening the back door and sitting down.

i smiled, rubbing my hands together and putting the key in the ignition, before putting on my seatbelt.

"okay." i mumbled, turning on the car, before pausing.

"uh.." i turned to fez, seeing him looking confused.

"i can't back out." i finally said, laughing a little.

"jesus." i heard ashtray mumble behind me, leaning back in his seat as fezco shook his head with a chuckle, opening the door and us switching places.

once he was backed out, we changed seats again.

"alrighty!" i put my hands on the steering wheel, starting to go a little, only to feel a hand on my shoulder.

for a second i paused, knowing it was ashtray and getting nervous at his touch. but the second i remembered fez was next to me, i kept going.

"do not go fast." ashtray said, keeping his grip on my shoulder.

i rolled my eyes, only going a little faster so i didn't seem like some grandma driving, even if i wasn't supposed to be driving at all.

the store was only around the corner, so once it was in view i sighed in relief, "i did good!"

and with that ashtray took his hand off my shoulder, "you did okay."

i smiled at his response, even if i knew he was being stubborn and wouldn't just say i drove good.

i turned to fez again, realizing i can't park either.
"uh-."

"yeah, i know." fez shook his head, laughing and getting out.

i sat back in the passenger seat, satisfied with myself.

—————————

"fez i'm bored!"

sitting in the store for two hours straight, has me about to loose my mind.

"go do something then." he shrugged, getting tired of me telling him i'm bored every five minutes.

"by myself?" i raised an eyebrow, raising my head up.

he looked at me, before turning towards the freezers and pointing.

"oh yeah!" i smiled, getting up and walking to the freezer.

"ashhhh." i dragged out, his head shooting up at my entrance.

"i'm bored, let's go do something." i rocked back and forth in me feet as i always do when he's just staring at me.

"no." he quickly replied, making me huff in annoyance.

"please!" i tried further, only for him to shake his head in response.

"oh my god. you're boring." i told him, turning on my heels about to walk out.

but once i felt something graze my arm, i turned around to see him standing closely behind me.

"we gonna go or just stand here?" he asked, furrowing his eyebrows.

i nodded, opening the door and walking out.
"bye fez!" i waved at him, stepping outside the store.

"okay, what should we do?" i asked ash.

he shrugged, crossing his arms as he waited to me to decide.

"we can just walk around?" i suggested, starting to walk.

he didn't respond, so that's just what we're gonna do.

after awhile of walking, talking about random things and me stopping once i saw something pretty or interesting, we stopped at a little park since i wanted to go on the swings, although ashtray just stood there.

"quit being boring and swing." i told him, pointing the the swing next to me.

he rolled his eyes, sitting down on it but now swinging. good enough for me.

i turned away for him, seeing the sun was going down so the sky was pretty. for awhile i kept my eyes on the sky, before glancing over at ashtray to see he was looking at me.

"what?" i asked, fully turning in his direction.

"nothing." he shrugged, turning to the sky.

i stared at him for a second, you know, he is really good looking. i think even bring about him suits him, his eyebrow slit, his face tattoos.

funny how a couple years ago i made fun of him for them, before summer hit and he had a glow up. but it was only now i realized my crush on him.

i turned back straight, wondering how i should ask him what we are. or i should even ask him at all.

things like this made me nervous, so usually i wouldn't ask at all. but i wanted to know, i mean.. we can't be just friends. but what if he seems me as just a friend?

"ash?" fuck it.

"what?" he turned back to me.

i felt myself get nervous, embarrassed even.
"um.. what- okay." i stuttered, sighing.

he raised his eyebrows, making me groan. why couldn't he just read my mind or something.
"what are we?"

he didn't say anything, which only made things worse.

"like.. are we just friends or.." i added on.

"i don't know, do you think we're friends?" he asked, a small smirk appearing on his face. i know exactly what he's doing. he wants me to say it.

i rolled my eyes, "do you?"

"no." he said blankly, making me surprised he could just say that without being nervous like i was.

i slowly nodded, "okay."

"why?" he asked once i thought that conversation was over.

"i don't know, i was just wondering, i guess." i shrugged.

in all honesty i was waiting for the moment he asked me to be his girlfriend, i wanted nothing more.

"do you want to be my girlfriend?" as if on cue, he asked.

i didn't know if he was actually, officially asking. so i turned, "well-." only to stop once i saw the cocky look on his face.

"shut up." i groaned, standing up and starting to walk.

i heard him laugh behind me, before he grabbed my arm to stop me.

"seriously." he started.

"do you?" he finally let out after he seemed nervous to say the full sentence.

but as pay back, i smirked. "do i what?"

he rolled his eyes, "do you want to be my girlfriend, malani?"

i felt my cheeks warm up, and myself get butterflies.
but i kept the same smirk, "be your girlfriend, ew."

he let go of my arm, shaking his head. i only laughed at this, this time grabbing arm to stop him before connecting our lips.

once we pulled away, "i mean, i guessss." i smiled.

———————————

i didn't even care that about the whole fezco thing right now, me and ashtray were walking back to the store, hand in hand. and i was officially his girlfriend.

but all the happiness quickly turned into confusion once i saw someone walk out of the store.

i squinted my eyes to get a better look.....

amelia?
