REMINISCENCE

CHAPTER 9

ASHER

"Run faster Asher, with this pace we won't be able to win today's game" the coach yelled at me. Today is one of the biggest matches our school has ever had and for that the coach thought it might be a good idea to make us practice at 6. I KNOW! It's around 7.30 so we have another 15 minutes of practice before school starts

It's English now and my eyes are giving up. I want to sleep. "Mr. Parker, if you want to sleep please get out" the devil yells making my eyes wide open. I glance at Scar who is too involved with her phone. She always listens to class and why does she look so tense?. "Mr. Parker is finished staring at Ms. Jones?" she asks, which made the whole class laugh. Scar looks least bothered about it because she is only bothered about whatever is going on her phone.

SCARLETT

I am in class listening to Ms. Cecily, and suddenly a notification pops up.

Unknown: hello scarlett

Scarlett: sorry , who is this ?

Unknown: ouch, as of now i am your worst nightmare.

Scarlett: what do you want?

Unknown: come to the football match or else i will tell your "secret" to everyone.

Scarlett: how do you know about that?!

Unknown: better come to the match or else...

I quickly switch off my phone and a million thoughts are running through my head. Who is that person and how does he know about my secret?! I can see from the corner of my eyes that Asher is staring at me. Mrs.Cecily calls him out for staring at me for a long time and the whole class laughs at that. My phone vibrates and I look down, panicking at the thought that it might be from the mysterious person but it's not, it's Ryder.

Ryder: scar i need to go back to california as i have a few things to take care of.

Scarlett: okayy....when will you be back?

Ryder: i will be back in a few weeks for good, don't worry!

Scarlett: i will hold you to that! Ly!

Ryder: love you too scar!

Guess what? I am sitting with Charlotte , Olivia , Noah and Asher in the cafeteria. Charlotte forced me too. Ugh

"So how is practice going on guys?" Charlotte asked Noah and Asher.

"Pretty good" naoh says with a nod "Well we have Asher so we are definitely gonna win!" he says with a smirk. Yep i remember , Ash would do anything for football. I never used to miss any of his games because the view was perfect.

Omg SHUT UP BRAIN!

FLASHBACK

The crowd cheered as Asher made the winning goal making our school football team. Everyone cheered and went towards the field to congratulate everyone. I run down the steps and run towards Asher jumping into his arms.

"You did it!" I exclaimed laughing as he spun me around and finally put me on the ground, the grin on his face as wide as ever.

"I surely did," he chuckles. "Now, I believe I was promised a kiss" he says while wiggling his eyebrows. I sigh, of course he has nor forgotten about that.

"Close your eyes," I told him. He closes it and I lean towards him and give him a soft kiss on his cheeks. He opens his eyes and his grin only gets bigger somehow.

"Well that was definitely worth it" he tells me, making me blush hard. Before anything happens, his teammates call him over to celebrate. He gives me an apologetic smile and walks towards them. What is this guy doing to me?

PRESENT:

"Scarlett! Are you even listening?!" someone shakes me making me snap out of my thoughts. "What?" I ask, unaware of what was happening. Why did I think of that day?

"What has gotten into you?" Noah asks with a concerned look. "Im fine, just lost in thoughts that's all" i reassure him. Those days were nice when me and Asher were actually friends and not hating each other's guts.

AN:

Who do you think “unknown” is?
