♡ LILY’S POV ♡ I ignored them and went back to my doodling. I almost zoned out when I felt Shelly's hand roughly grab my face and forced me to look at her. " Didn't you hear I was talking to you bitch?" She yelled and her veins in her neck looked ready to burst. "Oh I heard, I just don't give sluts attention." I shrugged. She looked at me shocked before scowling. " Where's all that sudden bravery coming from?" She asked. " Like I said I don't like talking to people who aren't worth it." I respond. She must have not liked my response because the next thing I know her face was inches from mine while her finger gripped my face roughly. "Listen here you little brat! I can easily break you so I don't think getting on my last nerves is good for you." She screamed saliva getting on my face. I cringed inwardly. "Shelly don't you think you have made your point already no need to get all up in her face." I heard Asher say. His face looking forward, not sparing us a glance. I don't know if to be happy or disappointed? Did he just save me from Shelly's wrath? She looked at him straightening herself and pushed Sonia to a side. " Oh Asher baby I didn't see you there." She muttered embarrassingly. Asher was about to respond but the teacher interrupted when she entered the classroom,making everyone keep quiet. "Take a seat you two." Mrs Loathe said. Sonia and Shelly looked at her annoyed before huffing and turned around to have a seat. But before Sonia went I stopped her in her tracks. " Nice jacket Sonia I'm so happy to know that with my bad taste in fashion , you still have the nerve to take my jacket without my permission." I said, giving her the best sweetest smile I could muster. "I I-” She stuttered. Shelly looked at her disgusted and muttered an eww making everyone laugh except Asher and I.When they finally took a seat the teacher went ahead to start the lesson. I was distracted all through class because Asher would wink at me discreetly and would send kissy faces at me without anyone seeing. When class was over I took my time to gather my stuff because I didn't want Shelly or Sonia to gang up on me right now. I was even considering skipping lunch today so I could not be in their sights for the rest of the day. Who knows what they will do to me as my stupid mouth decided to retort back at them. " Wow you're taking your sweet time there." Asher teased making me jump. "Oh shit!" I screamed not expecting him to be there. I looked around and was shocked to see we were the only ones in the classroom. What time did everyone go? Shit I must have zoned out again. " You've been really jumpy lately." He mumbled, staring at me from head to toe. "Umm thanks for stopping Shelly earlier." I said trying to distract him from the topic. "Oh that's nothing, we are friends now aren't we?" He asked hesitantly. "I guess." I said uncertainly. I was really uncomfortable with the question. I don't really know what to call us, it was still weird talking to him friendly and not having him look at me like I disgust him. He must have felt the awkward atmosphere because he scratched the back of his head and looked at me flustered. " Well I'll see you later?" He asked hopefully looking like a lost puppy. "Later?" Where the fuck is he expecting to see me? " Yes for the project. " He answered. Oh.. I totally forgot about that project. Shit does that mean it will only be Asher and I in that house again. The last time that happened things heated up. "Oh yes the project." I responded, hitting my forehead with my palm. He chuckled, giving me an awkward smile before leaving the classroom. Damn that was really embarrassing and awkward. I left the classroom and went outdoors far from the students. There was a huge tree that was by the field where the football players would practice. It was deserted and looked peaceful out there. I decided to go there and maybe study for that exam that was coming up next week. I sat cross legged underneath the tree and got out my books. I was a few minutes into my studying when I heard loud shouting coming nearer. There were a bunch of guys coming my way, well on the field and I'm guessing to practice because some had the balls in their hands. I could spot Asher among them and I let out a groan.Great just what I needed. He must have seen me too because he gave me a small smile before one of his friends tackled him to the ground. I rolled my eyes at their playfulness and got back to my studying. What a bunch of idiots. I was disturbed when one of the balls landed on my bag that was settled at my feet. I looked up at the culprit and saw one of the football players who always teased me. " Hey fat bitch send that ball back would you?" He yelled, some of the guys laughed except Asher who was glaring at the dude like he would murder him. " Sure." I said back a little too sweetly. I got up and held the ball in my hands. Mustering all my strength I flew it with force at him and it hit him straight on the dick. The guys let out a ohh with some blocking their mouths with their hands. His face scrunched up with pain before kneeling down holding his crotch and started cursing me. "Whoops my bad!" I yelled sarcastically. That's what you get asshole. Asher looked at me with a proud expression smiling. I returned the smile and laughed at the guy. He was rolling on the grass crying his ass out while everyone on the field laughed at him.
