Ash and I find a table off to the side and talk about everything we can think of; hobbies, where we are going after high school, which is Clemson University for both of us. He is going on a football scholarship, and I tell him about the science award I received that is going to pay for a full ride. We talk about past relationships that didn't work out. How I know Tyler and Dan, which had an underhand of awkward tension given his apparent jealousy that I know them so much already. We talked about what we want out of life and, most importantly, if I want to continue to get to know him. Of course, my answer is yes. Who wouldn't? He's funny and surprisingly witty. He seems to care a lot for his father. He makes me laugh harder than I have in my whole life. I feel so free with Ash. Everythi
