We’ll binge it.Not,you need to watch it. We, like Ashton plans to stick around for at least seven seasons.
This time, I can’t stop my stomach from flip-flopping. It even throws in a few cartwheels at the thought of Ashton staying.
With me.

Ashton
MILO: Who’s the girl?
ME: What girl?
RUPE: The one keeping you in Laandia.
LAVINIA: I saw pics of Basher with the group so he’s not your reason for being there this time. And Fen says she’s super busy.
MILO: I ask again—who’s the girl?
ME: There’s no girl!
FENELLA: What do you call Sophie then?
MILO: Aha!
I like that I share my friend group with my sister, but there are times like this that I wish I could leave her out of the group chat.
RUPE: Whois she?
FENELLA: Sophie Laz. He spent all week with her
LAVINIA: isn’t that who you ran over with Fen’s car?
ME: I didn’t run over her
LAVINIA: Did she hit her head? Because she should hate you, not hang out with you
FENELLA: she definitely doesn’t hate him
Damn Fenella. What am I supposed to say now? Contradict Fenella, or ask to know more?
Does Sophie like me?
Stupid question. A blind man would be able to see the way she looks at me when she doesn’t think I see. And now that Fenella has seen…
I send a text to Fenella privately.
ME: stop telling them things
FEN: Maybe they can help me figure out why you’re being such an arse
ME: I’m not an arse, I’m a nice person. At least I’m trying to be.
FEN: You’re trying to lead Sophie on, and that makes you an arse. I know you’re doing what Dad said, but you need to stop. She likes you.
I like her.
But I don’t text that.
