Her Five Brothers

Chapter 16 - lunch

Aspen: TW

Let me tell you, i am so grateful to have Axel directing me through the corridors on the way to lunch. The younger years are all screeching, sprinting towards their canteen like a herd of animals while the older years were shoving by, pushing the kids to the ground.

Because i'm quite small for my age, Axel held tightly to my hand to ensure I don't get lost in the crowd. That many people in such a small space made my heart race and Axel made sure to speed up his pace, dragging me into the middle table in the canteen.

Asher and Lorenzo were already sat around the table, chatting with some of their friends. Personally, i didn't want to meet them but if the boys are friends with them then they've got to be decent.

Right?

"Hey, love." Asher greets me, pushing some food in front of me as i take my seat beside him.

"Hiya." I greet, my British accent more prominent.

"Oh my god, you're British." A blonde boy announces, his blue eyes wide. He looks to be around the twins age and is sat on the other side of Axel.

Axel laughs. "Aspen, this is my best friend Cameron. He's 19. Cameron, this is my little sister, she's 15."

"Hi." I greet with a small wave, feeling a little awkward.

"It's nice to meet you." His smile immediately calms my nerves.  He gives me golden retriever sort of vibes. The complete opposite of Axel's first interaction.

"Likewise."

"This is Quinton," Asher begins, "he's 19 as well." The boy he points to has light ginger hair with freckles doted across his face. His eye lashes are beautiful and a tint of jealousy hits me as i stare at his green eyes.

"Please, call me Quinn." He nods to me, his glasses falling slightly off his face. Something tells me he's quieter than the rest.

"Okay." I nod back, a small smile on my face to make him believe i'm nice. Which i am. I just don't want him to assume i'm a judgemental bitch because i didn't smile at him.

"Last but certainly not least," Lorenzo stands up dramatically, kneeling before the last boy, "this is Ace, 17, and my very best friend."

My eyes immediately flick to the boy in question and he is drop dead gorgeous. Like literal perfection. His black hair in a messy style but still neat without any product. A clearly built body however still slightly lean. Bright green eyes that stare into my soul and i feel like i might pass out.

"Hello, gorgeous." His deep voice vibrates through the air and a deep blush spreads against my cheeks.

"Hi." I reply timidly, bitting back a smile. Ace smirks cockily at me, showing off his dimples.

"HEY!" Lorenzo whacks Ace hard on the back of the head, who groans in annoyance. "Off-limits, she deserves so much better than the way you fuck girls off."

My eyes widen at his words. Of course Ace is a playboy, he could pull anyone he'd like.

Ace goes to defend himself but the loud clacking of heals stops him in his tracks. He glares at somebody behind me and i turn to see a girl around 19. I smile sweetly at her, hoping that I could possibly make a girl friend.

She looks me up and down in disgust. "So this is your new slut?" She directs her question towards Axel.

"My little slut"

"I'll make you feel so good, Penny."

My breathing hitches and I get up to leave the table, the memories of Adam continuing to spread across my mind. My brothers gaze all focus on me as their friends defend me.
