~Ashley~
The bell for first class immediately rang interrupting Adrian.
I looked at Adrian. “Can i go now?”.
“What subject do you have now?”.
“History”.
“I’ll text Audrey, she has history too”.
I frowned. “I don’t need anyone watching over me”. I walked off annoyed.
Why is he doing that?
I can take care of myself.
Or is it because of what Xander told me? He said Axel was still gonna come after me.
I shrugged it off.
“Hey Sugar”.
I looked sideways to see a boy grinning lewdly at me. His face is familiar but i can’t point it out.
“Hi”. I said lowly.
He stretched out his hand. “I’m Luke. Can we be friends?”.
I eyed his hand. “I have a class right now”. I said walking faster.
“What subject?”. He asked walking alongside with me.
“History”. I replied reluctantly.
“I can walk you there”.
I gritted my teeth. “No thanks”.
He grabbed my hands. “Chill, sweetheart, just need to talk”.
“Let go off me”. I pulled my hands away.
“Just a little__”.
“Cargill”. I turned to see Adrian.
Luke looked behind. “Uhh, Adrian, I was just, umm, you know”. He said nervously.
Was he afraid of Adrian?
Why?
“You were hitting on my little sister”. Ian said calmly.
I moved close to Adrian. “Ian, just let go, i’m sure you have a class right now”.
“Stay out of this”. Ian warned.
He grabs Luke by the collar slamming him against a locker.
I gasped. “Adrian”. I half-yell.
He lets go off Luke pushing him to the floor. “If i see any of you fcking a$$h0les near my sister again, i’ll cut those balls off”.
Luke stood up hurriedly running away. I had expected him to at least fight before he back off but he didn’t.
“What the h*ell was that?”. I shouted.
He clasps his palm over my moith. “Classes are going on right now”.
I bite his palm and he yelps in pain.
“Ouch, what was that for?”.
“Why was he afraid of you?”. I asked as he walked me to my class.
“Nothing okay”.
“Adri_”.
He cuts me off. “I’m the captain of the football team and also the star quaterback so if he or other boys piss me off, they are off the team”.
“What if the coach needs them?”. I ask curiously.
“If the coach takes them back then i’ll leave”. He simply stated.
I gasp. “But you are Z quaterback, you are absolutely needed”.
He grins. “That’s the point”.
“But what if_”.
He pointed to the history class. “That’s your class over there, Sis, any other questions will be answered lunch time”.
“But we don’t eat lunch together”.
“We do now”. He place a kss on my forehead. “See ya later”.
“Wait. Ian”.
He groans. “What now?”.
“Please don’t go fighting with anyone because of me”. I say softly.
“Sure”. He said turning back heading to his class.
I sighed before opening the door to the history class. I entered and immediately all eyes were on me.
I clung to my backpack nervously.
“Miss Ashley. Why are you late?”. The teacher, Mr. Harvey turns to me.
“She’s just few minutes late, get on with your teaching, would ya”. Someone shouted at the back.
I turned and saw Audrey sharing a high-five with Lily.
“Can i go sit?”. I ask dryly.
“Yes”. He says and continues with his teaching.
I glanced around the class and see few empty spaces but they are all unfamiliar faces.
Except ..
Jessamyn.
I smiled sitting with her. “Hey Jessy”.
No response.
“Jessy”. I tapped her.
“Can you not disturb me right now?”. She says harshly.
I was taken aback.
This is so unlike of her.
I faced my attention to the trachings but i wasn’t focused.
I face Jessy. “If its all about the ‘Axel’ thing, i’m sorry”. I apologized.
She raises an eyebrow. “And?”.
“I will never choose someone over you again”. I say.
“And?”.
“I will believe and trust you”. I said warmly.
“And?”.
I tapped her playfully. “What other there is?”.
She sighed. “You must not let any stupid Motherfucker trick you ever”.
I smiled. “Absolutely besides Adrian is working on that”.
Her lips quivered into laughter. “And how is that working out for you”.
I pout. “I don’t think i’m gonna have a boy-friend not even in college”.
She chuckled softly. “Heck, yeah. I miss you. I didn’t see you yesterday so i kinda thought something bad happened”.
“I came to school but … I had to leave”.
She smiled. “I’m always here for you if you need me and not like that two-faced btch Kathryn”.
I made a face. “Yuck. I don’t even wanna hear her name”.
“Few weeks ago, she was your best-friend”.
I shrugged. “People change”.
Jessy gave my arm a little squeeze. “But you can go through these”.
“What are you now? A motivational speaker?”. I teased her.
She laughed. “Spare me that. So fill me up”.
I was confused. “On what?”.
“Rumors speculated in the grade 12 group chat about you and Xander, apparently someone saw you both yesterday”.
“You know we are in a class right?”. I tod her.
“Just spill it. No one is focusing on us”.
I shrugged. “He stayed over at my house for the night”.
She squealed. “What happened? Oh Em Gee!! Please tell me something happened”.
I nodded.
She gasped. “You saw him shirtless, n@ked? Or you guys made out? Kss?”.
I smiled when she said kss and she caught me.
“You guys kssed”. She giggled.
I grinned. “Twice”.
“And it was more captivating”.
“You have a lot to __”.
The bell rang interrupting our little conversation.
The teacher sighed heading out of class.
I stood up and so the everyone. Students beagan to troop out of class.
I held my bag walking out with Jessy as we headed to our lockers.
Audrey cane over smirking. “Whats up”.
I searched around. “Where’s Lily?”.
“Dunking class”. She replied.
“Do you need to tell me something?”.
“Nope”. She said walking away.
She stops and turned back. “I’ll inform Xander that you liked the kss”. She walks off.
My cheeks heat up as a result of what she said.
“Someone’s blushing for Handsome Xander”.
I rolled my eyes playfully. “What subject do you have now?”.
“Arts”. She said simply. “What about you?”.
“English”. I pouted. “I’m all alone”.
She hugged me. “Good-luck”.
I nodded walking off to English class. I walk in notice two very annoying people.
Kathryn Newman.
Axel DaSilva.
As soon as they saw me, they both kssed while Kathryn smirked.
I scoffed inwardly.
If she’s trying to make me jealous, she is doing a very bad job at it.
I walked to a an empty seat sitting down quietly not wanting to associate with anyone.
The English teacher soon arrived. Mrs. Haley. She immediately wrote on the board in capital letters- My ESSAY-.
I instantly remembered the project.
Sh!t!
Miguel and I were supposed to work on it over the weekend.
She heads over to students table collecting their Essay Project.
“Alexander, Where exactly is your project?”. I heard her say.
I turned towards her direction. She was at Xander desk. I didn’t know Xander was here. Maybe he had just come and I didn’t noticed due to some annoying people.
“Who were you paired up with?”. Mrs. Haley asks.
Xander frowned. “Kelly”.
A girl with a long flowing auburn hair ran over to Xander seat blushing seriously.
I hate her already!
Kelly or whatever her name was.
Look at the way she’s throwing herself at him despite a teacher is present.
Xander should just .. Just push her.
“Kelly seems like a nice girl, why couldn’t you work with her?”. Mrs. Haley asks.
“Do I have detention or not?”. Xander asks boredly.
“Yes. You do. Detention after school”.
Xander rolls his eyes and falls back on his seat. Our eyes met immediately and i quickly faced my front. I glanced again and he winked at me, i blushed facing the front.
“Ms. Ashley! Where is your essay?”.
“I ..”. I didn’t know where to look.
I searched around and Miguel wasn’t in class.
Did he skip on purpose?
“I haven’t had it .. Mrs. Haley .. I got the dates wrong”.
Mrs. Haley looked at me over her glasses. “And did your partner forget it too? He seems to have even forgotten English class today”.
I heard some people commenting. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
“Well, Ms. Ashley, thats bad news for you, you both get an F”.
“No!!”. I panicked. “No. Mrs. Haley, please you can’t”.
“I can’t?”. She looked angry. “Its your choice then. An F or you deliver an essay tomorrow morning at my desk. That or detention”.
“What?”. Thats unbelievable. “What have I done to deserve detention?”.
“You choose”.
I couldn’t choose.
Working over it this night means a lot of work and effort. And the remaining options; An F or detention … Both are bad.
A thought popped into my mind.
Xander is serving detention.
We can do it together.
“Detention”.
She adjusts her glasses. “Hun .. You choose detention, just like your brother”. She muttered going to the front of the class.
I payed no attention to whatever she said .. I was busy stealing glances at Xander.
The way he chews his pen slightly.
The bored but charming expression his face.
The way his hair falls slightly over his face.
The bell rings immediately signaling next period. I sling my bag over my shoulder walking out of class.
I was surprised to see Jessy at the entrance. “How did you get here so fast?”. I ask.
She shrugs. “How was class?”.
“Detention”. I say simply.
She squeals. “I have detention too”.
I raised eyebrows. “For what? You are a straight A student”.
“I was caught sleeping in Mr. Bradford class”.
I laughed. “Typical Jessy”.
“Ashley”. That irritating voice Kathryn.
I turn to see her with Axel.
What do they want now?
“What?”. I ask boredly.
Kathryn giggles kssing Axel. “Nothing”.
I rolled mmy eyes. “You can have Axel. I don’t go for cheap things”.
She growls storming off with Axel.
“Way to put them off”. Jessy said.
“I can’t believe i actually thought Kathryn was a good friend”.
“I warned you”.
I face Jessy. “How did you find out Axel was cheating on me?”.
“Well__”.
