Chapter 7
Damned Angel"I can’t believe you have a date with Daniel", Ash said. “It’s not a date”, I said. “When a boy asks if you have plans because he wants to take you out, it’s a date”, Lala said making me blush. “I’ve never been this nervous before”, I said. “Oh my god”, Ash said looking outside the window. “What?”, I asked. “Your hottie on a shining motorcycle has arrived”, Ash said.
