Promises

Chapter 2

Soon school ended and I headed home. I usually walked because it was faster and it was safe either way. I never really had to deal with people following me, plus my parents usually get home with my sister as soon as i reach the door. They work night shift so it's only me and my sister Rose at night.

I got home and first thing I hear when I open the house door is my step-mom, Amy yelling at me. "Why is your room such a mess!? You just cleaned that yesterday!" She continued yelling even though I just walked past and went up stairs. "Are you even listening to me!?" She yelled. Well I had enough and yelled back, "Well maybe if your stupid ankle biting dog would stay out of my room, it wouldn't be a mess all the time!"

As soon as I walked in my room I sat on my bed and chuckled to my self. "Damn, Mr.popular asked me to go with the skate rink with him. I better get ready" I jumped up and put on some black jeans with a white shirt tucked in, and a black leather belt, with two metal belt holes side by side all the way around it.

It hit 5pm pretty quick in my opinion and I quickly left and headed to the ice skateing rink. As soon as I got there I was greeted by the tall black haired male. "Well hello there karma. Good to see you again!" He smiles and takes my hand as we walk into the place.

"Two pears of skates please", Asher said to the guy giving the skates. Me on the other hand, I was staring at asher hand who was holding mine. I ended up blushing a little but then snapped out of it when Asher handed me my skates.

We got the skates on and headed onto the ice. "Um, karma?" Asher said looking around almost embarrassed. "What?" I turn and look at him while I'm standing on the ice. Asher mumbles, "I can't ice skate. I don't know how to". I chuckles at his comment and take his hand pulling him onto the ice. He panics a minute but than relaxes as I lead him around holding his hand.

After a while if skating we walked together to my house, since we decided to stay at my place while we was at the skate rink. I opened the door and my parents left as soon as I walked in. "Karma! Karma! Karma!" My sister Rose yelled as she ran up and hugged me. My sister was only 10 and pretty short for her age. "Is this your boyfriend?" She asked while looking at Asher.

"Well, no. He's not gay rose", I said while blushing. "Ok!" Rose heads up to her own room and heads to bed. It was already 10pm and it was the weekend, but my sister loved her sleep. I walked up to my room with Asher and shut the door and walked to my bed to sit down by Asher. "Hey um, karma?" Asher said while looking straight at me. "What is it?" I looked at him with confusion. "Can i...try something real quick?" He sounded a little hesitant.

"Yeah, I dont-" I was cut off by him kissing me. I went into shock but kissed back after a moment. This continued for a minute until I pulled away trying to catch my breath. I looked down blushing badly and fell back onto my bed with a small sqeal of flusteredness.
"W-what was that for!?" I said looking at him still blushing. He only chuckled. "Don't think I didn't see you blushing at me holding your hand at the rink, because believe me, i did".

I stayed laying down covering my face, "s-so does this m-mean were boyfriends?" I ask with a shakey tone. He nods and lays down on the bed the right way so I move where I'm laying on him with my head on his chest.

"Can we not tell anyone about it though?" He asked while looking away.
"Um. Yeah, sure. Whatever makes you more comfortable", I said with a little worry in my voice. I was usually never worried, but after what happened with my ex, I started to worry. My ex put me through hell in back with his shit, but I'm not gonna get in detail with that.

"So, does a movie sound good?" Asher said while wrapping an arm around me. "I- um- sure. That sounds good to me", I blew it. My flusteredness got the best of me. Asher just chuckled and turned on a horror movie. It was the conjuring. Of all movie. I absolutely hated that movie, I could never find interest in it.

After the movie started I fell asleep about 10 minutes in. I was pretty comfortable until I got woken up by Asher on the phone. I decided to keep my eyes close and fake sleep. "Hey, did he believe it?" I heard a man's voice say over the phone. Oh God. It sounded like my ex...conner..."hell yeah he believed it! I swear he thinks I'm actually gay. He has got to be stupid to think I really like him!" Asher says laughing.

I should have know...this is exactly why I gave up on dating..but what am I gonna do? I can't just confront him like 'oh I heard your conversation', that would just be embarrassing! "So you and that Chesley girl still getting it on, if ya know what I mean", I heard my ex say as he giggled over the phone.

"Hell yeah we are. I get that shit like every night!" Asher says in a confident voice. Chesley...I hate that bitch. She's one of the people that helped out me to the school. I never wanted outed but it was forced. I forever hate that bitch, and nothing will change that. I ended up falling back asleep after I decided I heard enough.
