"I don't know. I forget quickly. I don't think so." Lilly replied. "Alright, that's fine. Thanks anyways." Ashley said. "Ok, see ya Ashley. I'm gonna get a present. If it's chocolates, I will save you a few unless they're too good." Lilly said, joking around. Ashley laughed. "'Kay then, bye." Ashley said. "See ya." Lilly left the dorm. Ashley was alone now. She decided to open the box she had received from her father. Inside, she saw another box and an envalope. She decided to open the envalope first. Inside it was a letter, and a check for $24,000. Ashley nearly dropped everything. "Oh my gosh! This is amazing!" Ashley said. Ashley opened up the box inside the box to reveal a new purple Apple laptop with sparkles on it. Ashley's mouth dropped. She then noticed one other thing in the envalope. In the envalope there was also a letter. It read:
"Dear my lovely Ashley,
I figured you needed a little 'starter kit' since you were going off to college. I realized I have sometimes forgotten to pay you back for the chores you did when you were home. I decided to repay you, and also add a little bonus for your troubles. The money is for a 2012 Mazda MX-5 Miata Convertible. And I hope you like your laptob as well. Don't forget to write back. Love you.
Your loving father,
Dad."
Ashley was so excited. She didn't know what to do first. "Wait, a Mazda MX-5 Miata Convertible only costs $23,000... What will I do with the extra money? I guess I'll put it in the bank. I better get a job..." Ashley thought. Ashley figured that she should look at her text. It was from Joey. It read:
Ash, sorry about just disappearing like that. After Tyrant came in and destroyed his stuff I kind of lost it a little bit. I'm not sure what that guys problem is, but I figured it would be best to just disappear and let him cool off... Anyways, I'll see you in the morning? Hey, how about this, come down to my room and I'll cook you some crepes. After all, I know you're a little bad at cooking them yourself. :P Kidding, of course. But I was serious about my offer. Heck, you could even invite your friends too... If you wanted... See ya in the morning! Joey. :)
Ashley texted him back.
"That's okay. I did too, but honestly, I think Tyrant's just a little lonely. Anyways, I would be delighted to accept your humble offer. Lol. See you in the morning! P.S. Loved the movie tonight :)
~Ashley~"
Ashley fired her text off to Joey. Now she only had one thing left to do: contact William about Ashley's plan. "What was his dorm number again...? Oh yeah, 713." Ashley thought. Ashley tidied up her side of the room and left. She finally arived at room 713. Ashley knocked on the door. "Hey, Will. Could I talk to you in private for a sec'?" Ashley asked.
