chapter fourteen.
[ 14 ] "S-L-U-T"

I walked into school as events of last night kept replaying in the back of my head. Johnny, Jenna, Asher. Surprisingly, I had forgotten about the whole situation for a bit because of the little moment with Johnny.

What even happened?
What's going on between us?

Are we even friends?
Of course we are- right?

We've always been friends..just in a weird way.
Right??

What even are we??
Didn't we almost kiss?

Is that normal??

I was all caught up in my head well, that was until I saw a whole crowd standing by my locker. Phones flashing and people murmuring.

Huh?

I rushed there, pushing through the crowd. My face soon fell as I saw the indecent choice of words painted on in big black letters. S-L-U-T being the most prominent.

Great.
Note the sarcasm.

I felt a hand on my shoulder, I turned around to see Jenna. Of course, I should've known.

She smiled tightly, "Happy early birthday."

Does she even know how much she angers me?
Surprised she remembered my birthday though.

I gave her a slight glare, "You're insane." I mumbled under my breath.

She tilted her head, pouting a little, "And what are you gonna? Ask Johnny to hit me?" She questioned before booming with laughter, her minions along side her doing the same which got everyone around to laugh too.

I cursed under my breath.
I hate high school.
I hate her.

"Next time tell your little boy toy to stay away from Asher and I got it?" She raised a brow, crossing her arms over her chest.

I bit my lip to stop the urge of slapping her. As If I could ever even try to do that. I let out a short breath looking around everyones eyes on me, "Can everyone leave?" When no one moved an inch I sighed, "Can everyone leave!?" I repeated a little louder.

"I'm sure you heard her." A familiar voice spoke getting the murmurs of the crowd grow louder too.
My god. If this couldn't get worse.

Jenna rolled her eyes, "What do you mean? She's deserves it for letting her boyfriend hit you."

Boyfriend???

She tried to kiss him but he dodged it before sighing, "Tell them to leave Jenna." Asher instructed and she rolled her eyes again before doing so.

"You're no fun." She huffed before stomping away as the rest of the crowd dispersed.

If only I could make it that easy.

Asher's eyes locked with mine as I stood there silent. He looked at me with a hint of pity, Hey Annie," He let out, giving me a sad smile. "I'm sorry about he-"

I shook my head, opening my locker in his face which got him to shut up. "Thanks, I guess," I said, my voice just above a whisper.

"Annie yesterday.." He trailed off.

"I don't want to talk about it Asher." I let out a breath.

"You know I didn't mean it right?"

I shrugged, "I'm one to believe that drunk words are sober thoughts actually,"

"But you know I wouldn't say that about you."

I turned to look at him, "Do I Asher? Do I really?"
