I was on my way to the basement when my phone started ringing. "Hey," I answered it without checking  who it was. Ha-ha, i  know you all might be thinking "who does that!" well!me.

"Hey girl, its Ally,get ready coming pick you up at twelve,girls day out."

"What!" 

"I am not taking no for an answer,love you,bye,"she quickly replied and ended the call.

Knowing I had more than enough time to  get ready I went to the basement A.K.A. my personal gym. It had everything a gym should have and that's why it was my favourite place  in the whole house. I started with some stretching then made my way to the corner and did some pull-ups and after  some time, I fell down on the mat tired with  sweat all over my body.

"Hey sis," Jake shouted, " still doing those exercises I see. How many did you do this time?"he asked.

"Pull-ups?"

"Yeah,"

"Forty."

"Wow! that's good. I remember last time all you could do was ten."

*****************

"So Anna, Ally started, "mind  telling us what's going on between you and Nathan?"

"Nathan!" Who is that?I don't know any Nathan,"I told them with a confused face

"Ha-Ha,I see someone is in denial,"Ashley joked.

They all started laughing making me more curious of this Nathan guy. I  wonder who he is?Their laughs were starting to irritate me as I didn't see any reason to so I cut them off."Hey guys,seriously I don't know who this Nathan guy is."

"Seriously!"They all uttered.

"Yeah,and the only guy I spoke to who wasn't  in our group was Ash,"I replied. They all stared at me as if I had grown a second head.

"Guys!stop it. Did I say anything wrong?why are you all staring at me like that,it's creepy."

"Adrianna, Ash is Nathan,and no one calls him Ash."

"What?"I asked surprised.

"Calling him Ash is like asking for your own death,"Ashley finished.

I couldn't believe what they were telling me as Ash himself told me that name in the letter. "You're kidding right?"I asked them.

"Nope,there are rumours saying that he put a boy in the hospital just for calling him that name  by mistake,"Ashley whispered  to me.

"OMG!"I  silently whispered. I could feel my heart beating so fast.

"Hey,it's alright. You are safe as long as you don't call him that name.

"if what you are saying is true then how comes I didn't feel so when I was talking to him and instead I felt like no one could harm me."

"What!"Hannah who was quiet the whole time shouted.

"Hannah,lower your voice. What if someone hears us,"I told her.

"Sorry but you talked to him? Hannah asked surprised, "When?"

I started panicking in my mind wondering what to tell them knowing I couldn't tell them about that day. I didn't know what to tell them so I said the first thing that came into my head.

"I said talking ha-ha sorry I meant I wanted to but didn't have the chance,"

They all stared at me suspiciously and asked me, "if so then why did you say you felt safe with him?"

I could feel the sweat coming out  on my forehead. It  always comes out whenever I panic. I didn't know what to say to get me out of the situation I put myself in. "

"Guys you woke me up  early in the morning. I always sleep throughout the day on Saturday till two and now it's still  one. My mind is still asleep,how do you expect me to be?Don't take whatever I tell you seriously guys,it's not the first time  this happened,"

'So what you are saying is that you haven't spoke to Nathan ever? Ally asked.

yeah,"I  replied.

"Then how do you know him by Ash,"

"Rumours,"I told them hopping they would believe me and end the matter. The same time my phone rang so I quickly picked it hoping it was my brother or parents calling me home.

"Hello,"I spoke.

"Hey honey,"my mom spoke.

"Hey mom,"I replied to her.

"Adrianna can you come home please I need to talk to you,"my mom told me.

Hearing that, I was so happy instead of worrying why she was calling  me like I would normally be. So I  quickly replied yes and cut the call."Guys sorry but my mom called. She told me to go home she wants to talk to me, I  got to go bye," I told them and picked up my shopping bags  making my way out of the mall heading home. Immediately I reached outside the mall I breathed a sigh of relief silently thanking my mom for calling at the right time.

My home was not that far from the mall so in ten minutes I was standing right outside my house door. That's when it kicked in that  my mom wanted to talk to me and I started panicking, afraid, praying I wasn't  in trouble. After collecting myself together I opened the door and entered the house heading to the kitchen to where my mom was.

"Hey mom,"I greeted her hesitatingly.

"Hey honey,"

I stood beside her shaking a bit waiting for her to tell me what I did wrong like usual. Don't mistake me,my mom is the best mom ever and I  love her but she gets so scary and serious when I have done something wrong so don't call me a coward for shaking. I waited for like five minutes but nothing,so I decided to ask her.

"Mom?"

"Yes?"

"You phoned telling me to come home  you needed to talk to me_"

"Oh yeah honey its nothing,"my mom replied like it was nothing serious.

What!I asked, "Nothing_,"I asked her   not believing her

Haha,"my mom laughed, "honey I was just missing you," she said "and that was  the only way I could think of to make you come home,"my mum finished  laughing. Haha, now you see why my mom is the best. Who wouldn't want a mom like mine?

Hey guys,

Sorry for the late update and I really hope you enjoy it.

Anyways what do you think of  Adrianna's mom?To die for or...?

Am thinking of writing the next chapter in Ash's POV  to know him a little more.

Don't forget Ash is Nathan

Bye
