Ashley’s pov
I was seated at the edge of the bed when I heard a soft knock. Throu-ghout today, I haven’t set my eyes on Josh after he had left without a word last night.
It felt peaceful at first but then it became annoying. Honestly, having Josh around was always fun for me.
I slapped myself mentally. Get hold of yourself, Ashley. You and Josh have nothing, absolutely nothing in common. I said to myself.
I pulled myself out of the bed and placed the novel I have being reading since morning on the bed. Yeah, my novel. My luggage was delivered to me just this morning, thankfully, mom packed all my favorite outfits and of course my novel.
I opened the door and found myself staring at Jason. He was smiling at me.
“Hey, Jessie.” He greeted warmly.
I smiled. “Hi Jason. What’s up?”
“Um, can you come downstairs for a while?” He asked.
“For a while?” I raised an eyebrow at him. He chuckled softly and nodded his head yes. I shrugged. “Okay.”
“But,” he paused. “Grab yourself a blanket before coming down.” As soon as he said that, he left.
A blanket? For what? Wait, I hope they are not planning to do anything stupid from that stupid rules of theirs.
Anyway, I did as I was told to. I grabbed a blue blanket from the wardrobe and left the room.
When I got down, I saw the guys seated in front of the TV. I looked around but could not find Josh anywhere. Why am I even bothered about him? My main focus should be what is going on right now.
They all turned to me. “Come.” Jayden said to me.
I smiled and walked over to them. I sat down beside Jason.
“What is going on?” I asked him in a whisper.
“It’s movie night, Princess.” I heard from behind, I almost shrieked in fear. Josh chuckled. “Hey, Jason, move. I will like to sit with my girlfriend.”
Girlfriend? This guy is so annoying. We are not couples. And he knows that so why was he referring me as his girlfriend?
Jason scowled at him before taking another seat with Jayden. Josh smiled and sank down beside me. I was tempted to kick his bu-tt out of the seat but held myself from doing so.
He handed a cup of popcorn to me. I hesitated before collecting it.
“That ours.” He said. Ours? Does he mean the both of us? I look at the others, each set had a cup of popcorn at the middle aside from Joshua who was sitting alone and had no partner, so he gets to eat the popcorn alone. I wish we could both switch places after realizing that I was really going to share a cup of popcorn with this jerk by my side.
“Whatever.” I said.
He smiled. “We are having a movie night. We always do this every Friday night, it is part of the rules.” He sighed. “That means, you’ve successful cross past two rules.”
“Well, tonight isn’t yet a success. We haven’t even started the movie yet.” I said.
“Ya right. But trust me, it’s gonna be a success.” He winked at me.
I rolled my eyes at him. I was willing to ask him what he has been up to since morning, so I decided to follow my thoughts.
“Um, where have you been?”
“Why? Have you being looking for me? Did you miss me?”
Does everything look like a joke to this guy. “You know what? Never mind. And mind you, I didn’t look for you, I mean, why should I even look for you. And, I didn’t miss you as well. So don’t give yourself hope.” It felt like I was overreacting with the whole situation. I could feel my face heat up.
“Ouch! That hurts.” He joked. “But why is your face colored, Princess?” He smir-ked.
No. He noticed it.
“The movie is about to begin. So you all should keep quiet.” Jeffrey said turning off the lights.
Everywhere became dark but it wasn’t really dark because of the light from the television.
Jason played the movie. I was going to ask what kind of movie we were going to watch. If it was Romance? Mystery? Or something aside from horror. Because trust me, I hate watching horrors it always give me nightmares. But then I saw something which gave me a hint of the what we were going to watch. It was horror.
“Horror?” I whispered. Josh chuckled, seems like he heard what I said. Due to the warning from Jeffrey I decided not to say anything.
The movie just started and the first scene playing was a girl running. She looked so tense and scared as she kept on running. Her body were covered in blood and bruises.
She made her way to a dark room. She trying to look for the switch and her hand caught a torchlight as soon as she flic-ked it on. An ugly face appeared. I shrieked in fear.
Josh laughed softly but I ignored him. Like I mean, who isn’t scared? That woman was freaking ugly. She had white hair, her face were so wrinkled, her teeth were not complete but black.
We kept on watching in silence. The woman dragged the girl’s hair and threw her to the other side of the room. I was shaking. I felt so scared for the girl. The woman was going closer to the girl who was struggling to get up. Even step the woman takes, my heart beat increases.
I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder. “Arrrrgh!!!!” I screamed pulling myself from the chair.
The guys started laughing including Josh. Oh my God. Josh is nothing but a jerk. He did that intentional. I glared at him. I’m so gonna revenge.
After the movie. I got up. I was still scared. I’m very certain that I was going to have a nightmare on the movie.
As I took a step towards the stairs, Jeffrey caught my wrist.
“Where are you going to, Jessie?” He asked.
Jessie? That name still sound so new and absurd to me. I smiled. “To my room of course. I think we are done with the movie night, right?”
He smiled and pulled me to the others whose gazes were resting on me.
“Yeah, the movie night is over but the sleepover night has just begun, Princess.” Josh smir-ked.
Sleepover? With six guys? They’ve got to be kidding me.

Subtitle :?The sleepover?
Ashley’s pov
After all the argument here I am lying in between Josh and Joshua. We all lay on our back staring at the white ceilings.
I have never slept with a boy in my life aside from Kyle and Jeremy. Though I might be a tomboy but I still know that a lady’s privacy is very important. But this guys don’t know that.
“Jessie?” Jeffrey called out.
“Yes?” I answered.
“It’s time for confession.” He said.
What? Confession? What kind of confession? Is it the sins I’ve done in my past? Well, I’ve done a lot of things. Like, taking Kyle’s baseball and planting it in Jeremy’s room. Oh my God. That day was so intense. Kyle was so mad at Jeremy while Jeremy was trying to prove his innocence but no one believed him. While I just sat there, eating popcorn and watching the drama display.
“What kind of confession?” I asked.
“Don’t mind him,” that voice sounds like Jason’s voice. I was hoping to lie between him and Jayden but ended up between this two guys: Josh and Joshua. “He meant, getting to know each other very well.”
Oh, that means my secret was still save with me.
“Okay?”
“Tell us something about yourself.” Jayden said.
“Well, there is nothing really interesting about my life. Trust me, it is so boring.” That was true. I only have two friends. I hate keeping friends. If Tiffany and Jasmine hadn’t approached me then I wouldn’t have had anybody to call a friend.
Honestly, I had a friend. A best friend, Summer. Summer and I were so close and fond of each other. We grew up in each other care and und-erstanding. I trusted her and she…she trusted me, maybe.
But during our birthdays, I was given a very special present. A present that I never seem to forget even though I try to forget. A present that turned me into a tomboy and made me hate anything about relationships or whatsoever because I was afraid of heartbreak.
?Flashback?
I walked into Evan’s house. Evan was my ex- boyfriend. We were just thirteen years old. His parents were not around. They are not the type of parents who had time for their child, they were always traveling round the world, going to parties and so on. I couldn’t find Evan in the sitting room so I asked Lara, one of his maids. She told me that he was in his bedroom. I thanked her and went over to his birthday. I couldn’t believe he forgot about my birthday even my best friend, Summer. When I went to Summer’s house her parents told me that she had gone out with a friend. I don’t know whose friend it was or where they had gone to, or why she didn’t call me.
I had even called her to wish her but her phone had being turned off. As I got to where Evan room was, I slowly pushed the door open and peeked throu-gh.
“Evan?” I called out. I walked into the room and was in for a big shock. Evan and my so called best friend were both ki-ssing. Like I mean ki-ssing. They were just twelve…okay, no, only Summer and I were twelve years while Evan was thirteen.
“Evan?! SUMMER!” I screamed. They pulled from each other. At first I saw guilt in Summer’s eyes but it slowly fade into confidence.
She crossed her arms across her ch-est and stare at me for a while. “What?”
“What? Did you just ask me what?”
“Yeah. So? Look Ash, I am tired, okay? Why do you have to be the only one who have the good things and I have nothing? Huh?” Wait, was she jealous? Has she being jealous of me?
“What?”
“I love Evan, okay? And he loves me too.” That felt like a huge blow to me. I almost fell down but I grasp onto the knob of the door and steady myself.
I turned to Evan, he was staring at the ground. He was the first guy I ever loved. Yeah, it was young love but it was true love as well. He was the first guy who have seen me dressed as a girl before. He was my first ki-ss. I can’t believe he would do this to me.
“Say something.” That sounded as an order but I didn’t care. I was mad. Mad at him, mad at that bitc-h, mad at myself. I should have noticed. No, I noticed but I decided to play dumb. I played dumbed because I was scared that Evan might leave me.
“Um…Ash…Summer is right.”
?Flashback ends?
What a jerk. Summer was right? He loves Summer? Then how about me? What does he feel for me? I was going to ask but I left. I left them in the room, alone.
But I never forgave them. I hate them for making a fool out of me.
I didn’t realize that the guys were all staring at me. Josh flic-ked his fingers in my face.
“Princess, are you dead?”
“You wish.” I scowled at him. He smiled and fell back on his back to stare at the ceilings. The other guys did the same.
“Everyone has a boring life but yours doesn’t look boring.” Jackson said.
How does he know that? Or was it written on my forehead or something?
“Maybe. I mean, I have two lousy best friends. A handsome big brother, a little devil who does nothing but torment me, two parents who always find a way to tease me. Yeah, and now I am surrounded by six guys. Of course my life is very interesting.” I said sarcastically.
Josh chuckled. “I will like to see that little devil in person…” He smir-ked. “He is my kind of person.” He winked.
Gosh. Why wouldn’t he? When you both are just the same.
“Interesting.” Joshua mumbled. I hardly heard him talk. “Um, have a friend ever betrayed you with your boyfriend before?”
Wait, what? How does he know? Did he by chance read my mind or something? I opened my mouth to talk but someone beat me to it.
“Are you gonna bring that up again?” That person sounds like Josh. No, it was Josh.
“Why? Are you scared that your fake girlfriend might get to know your story and then hate you?” Joshua spat.
“What? Are you gonna tell her? Go on, tell her and see if I care. Jessie chose me over you, so why are you feeling so bad about it?”
Jessie? Who is Jessie? Where they talking about me? No, no, I didn’t choose Josh over anybody. Or are they talking about another girl I might not know about?
“She was with me before you came along.” Joshua fired back. I was just looking between the both of them.
“Listen, she told you that she doesn’t love you but want me instead, I didn’t for-ce her to be with me. I know, every girl wants to be with me…so why are you so jealous about it?”
I think I am getting this whole thing. Did…Josh have an affair with Joshua’s girlfriend? No way.
“Guys!!! Can you guys stop all this sh*t! Jessie is here…”
“Just shut up!” Josh and Joshua said together.
Awkward! I had chosen to be called Jessie not knowing the effect the name had in the house. Fu-ck me.
“You think every girl is gonna choose you over me?”
“Of course.” Josh said with confidence.
Joshua stare at me and smir-ked. “Just watch and see, I am going to take the girl you cherish from you. That’s a promise.”
TBC.
