Procrastination had always been one of her biggest problems, and she’d be the first to admit it. She would set all important matters to the side until the last possible minute.  This was especially the situation Ashley found herself in now. Yet, this was a different matter and procrastination was happening for a whole bunch of different reasons. Ashley was trying to avoid the situation, avoid the inevitable confrontation, avoid the yelling, avoid the loss, but most of all avoid the pain. The pain that she knew she would cause, and also the pain she knew she would feel. So procrastination was quickly becoming a friend rather than a foe. 

However, the bad thing about trying to push some things aside is that sometimes that something goes to school with you and is under the impression that he’s your boy friend. It gets harder to avoid someone that’s holding your books and walking you to class.

Aiden was once again going on about something or other that Ashley couldn’t have cared less about. She was in her own little world where she was happy to remain. In this world there was no drama and everything was as it was months ago.  It was as if she was going through the motions of her day without realizing it. She wasn’t paying attention to much and that included the guy walking next to her.

“…and than me and the rest of the girls had a crazy orgy” finished Aiden as he stopped walking and stood in front of Ashley a little annoyed.

“That’s cool Aid. I’m glad you had fun” replied Ashley as if on impulse. She forced a smile and looked up at the boy in front of her.

“That’s cool? Ash, where are you? Were you even listening to me?” asked Aiden, his voice full of frustration.

“Of course I was listening Aiden. I’m always listening. Can you please just drop it, I don’t wanna have this conversation. I’m not in the mood, especially to have it here.” Stated Ashley with her own frustration evident on her face.

“No! I’m sick of you avoiding everything Ash! You can’t keep me in the dark whenever you find it necessary…”

“Can you keep your voice down, the whole school can here you” Whispered Ashley as she cut Aiden off.
