August 12- It's been a month. A month ago, on July 12, around 1:13 in the morning, Danny messaged me on Facebook. The first message that started everything. I came back from vacation today (the 12), so I went to the festival. (St. Rocco's) there was like no one there and we knew it was gonna be super boring so we went down to the plaza. At first we were near the YMCA parking lot and it was Helena, Steph, Cass, Zac, Joey, Joe, Matt, Danny (different Danny), and just a ton of other kids. So that Danny kid walked away and Helena went to get him and a few of us got into Zac's car and drove over there and we were driving around and stuff and it was really fun and then we went over to the side of Dunkin. My friend called me right when we were walking there and she told me to meet her in front of Dunkin and so I did and I was talking to them and I looked over to see if Helena was still over there and there he was. I walked away from them to nudge Helena and he looked at me and Scotty walked over (she's been in love with him for 7 years) and she goes "Right back atcha" and I went over to my friend (the one who called me) and Danny walked up to me and while he was walking over she goes "Heads up" and I didn't look at him and he stands next to me and puts his hand out and says "Hi" and so I put my hand on his (I thought he wanted a high five or something, I don't fucking know) and he wrapped his fingers around my hand and when I did the same he squeezed my hand and I looked up at him (I was looking at our hands) and we locked eyes and with that he walked off.
August 14- I went back behind Dunkin and he was there... Nothing was happening at all at first but then he had a water bottle (full of some vodka mix) and Helena thought it was water. So she was like "give me a sip!" and she started flipping out because it burned her mouth so she spit it out. So I said "you really thought it was water?" and I laughed. He came REALLY close to me and was like "you want a sip?" and so I backed up (against a car) and he came close (our bodies were almost touching..) and he uncapped it and was like "do you?" and I said "no.." so he backed away.
Then a while later he came into Giovanni's and he was sitting at another table with Zac but he kept looking at me..
Then when we were leaving we were saying bye to people and he had his arms around her waist and they kissed and it was a long kiss and it broke my heart into nine million pieces and I wanted that to be me, so bad.
August 19- I went down to the plaza for the night (when don't I). Morgan Piv and I sat at a table and he was the first to come over and sit with us and we started talking about The Woman In Black because Piv just watched it at Olivia's house and by then Morgan W and Emily came over and sat with us and we were talking about how messed up it was and I was like "I don't even know, I started watching it halfway through.." and he was like "I saw it three times." and Emily was like "I watched it when I was high so I have no clue what's going on" and Danny was like "I was once it was hilarious" and I was like "Why'd you go three times?" and he was like "It was with different people but it was all in the theaters" and I was like "Oh." and then we all went up to Sherwood and the girls were on the merry-go-round and Danny, Zac, Andrew and a bunch of other boys were on the swings and then girls were playing Never Have I Ever and the guys walked over and we were like "Ohi?" and they grabbed onto the poles and started spinning us and all the girls were flipping out and I was like "Why're you flipping?" and we laughed and they walked away and then at one point they did it again but it wasn't as bad. Then they started talking about stuff I didn't care about and so I walked over to the swings and Lexi was over there at first but she walked away. So it was Zac, Danny, Andrew and I and the guys were on the swings but I was standing and Zac was like "Hi Ashley! I'm honored to be your profile picture on Facebook! HIGHFIVE?!" and I was like "Yeah, haha" and he hit my wrist the first time (he was swinging so it wasn't that easy) and then I was like "Oh wow that sucked" and he was like "Again!" and we highfived again and he was like "Can I wear your sweatshirt?" and I was like "Why?" and I laughed and he was like "Because. What does it say?" and I read it (something about my dance studio and he was like "Oh never mind." then Danny got off the swing and walked over to me and was like "Hi. Can I hold your satchel?" I was like "Sure. Why'd you call it a satchel though?" and he was like "That's what its called.." and he put it on the wrong way and was like "Is this how it goes?" and I was like "No, its not." and he was like "Oh well." and started swinging it around and then he took it off and walked over to the swing with my purse and I so I was like "Can I have that?" and he was like "No, its mine." and hugged it and I was like "Oh." but he gave it back like five minutes later.
