You Put The Sun To Shame
She Had It All Figured Out
"Ash!" Garrett yelled as he ran offstage to me, sweat dripping from his hair.
"Hey, Gare! Great show!" I smiled as he picked me up and hugged me.
He looked down at me. "Why are you so short?"
I laughed and slapped his arm. "Garrett!"
He smiled and said "Well, you are!"
"I am not, you're just super tall!"
"Oh yeah, that's it," he mocked, grinning widely.
"Sooo," I heard Kennedy say from behind me and I turn around. "I hear tomorrow's someone's birthday."
"Oh, yeah I think I heard that, too," John commented, rubbing a towel through his hair.
"You know what's funny?" Gare asked. "Tomorrow's Ashlie's birthday!!
"And guess who we invited to your party?" Pat asked.
"Ryan Gosling?" I joked.
"No, silly! All Time Low!" he yelled.
"Who?" I wondered.
The whole band gasped theatrically. "You don't know All Time Low, Ash?" Jared stared at me with wide eyes.
"Three of them used to be in a band with me!" Kenny giggled.
"Well I guess I'm gonna have to meet them, then!" I smiled. Any friends of The Maine were friends of mine.

Garrett was throwing the party at his house, a tradition since freshman year. I was really excited; these partied never ceased to amaze me. Nearly ever year, the cops are called to break it up and someone usually gets taken into custody. God, I love my friends.
I could hear the music thumping a block away from Garrett's house.
I parked a ways away from his house because of all the cars lining the road. I walked confidently up to his front door, took a deep breath, and pushed it open.
"ASHLIEEE!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" Garrett and Kennedy screamed right as I walked in the door.
"Thanks!' I smiled at them as they pulled me into a crowded kitchen.
"Okay, you are going to meet All Time Low. They are really good friends of ours," Kenny told me.
"Okay....?" I said nervously.
"JACK, YOU FUCKER, GET OVER HERE," Garrett yelled.
"What the fuck, Garrett?" The boy said, and then he saw me. "Oh, hey! You're Ashlie, right?"
"Yep," I replied.
"Jack. Nice to meet you." He opened his arms for a hug, which I gladly accepted.
I smiled. "You, too."
"Now I'm gonna go chase down Alex; that fucker never stays where he should," he told me.
I laughed as Jack dragged a handsome boy away from a girl and towards me.
"This is Alex. Alex, this is Ashlie."
"Hey." I waved at him and smiled as he did the same.
"Can I go bang that chick over there now?" he asked Jack and I giggled.
"Sure," Jack said, and Alex started flirting with that girl again.
Kennedy pulled me toward two boys talking together.
"Ash, this is Zack and Rian," he informed.
"Hey, guys," I chuckled.
Rian stuck his hand out towards me. "Hey, I'm Rian." He seemed really friendly. He grinned warmly at me.
"Ashlie," I replied.
"I'm Zack," the other boy said. "How are you?"
"I'm good, thanks. And you?" I said.
"I'm great." He smiled shyly.
"Well." I coughed and said, "Let's get drunk, bitches!"
Everyone cheered and I smiled. Those boys made me so happy.
