Knowing Asher

Chapter|8|

I gave a slight nod, and that was what it took for them to start squealing.

Thank God everyone has left except us. They would have thought we were crazy or something.

I mean the girls, the guys just smiled smugly like they knew I was going to say yes. They don't know the reason I wasn't going to agree, and I would like to keep it that way.

Amanda hugged me so tight I couldn't breathe. "I am so happy you said yes " she cracked a bit, and I hugged her back tight.

They would have been so heartbroken if I couldn't go. I was happy I don't have to pay a penny and still have the opportunity to go on this trip. "Now we have got so much to plan. We need to go shopping, spa_" Angela started.

I zoned out, not wanting to listen to the rest of the conversation.

Shopping means spending money, which I don't have. I don't need new clothes, the clothes I have will just have to work.

At this rate, we will not get lunch, and I was starving. My stomach growled loudly, catching their attention, and I groaned.

That's so embarrassing.

"Woah! Let's get that stomach fed," Amanda said smugly, and my cheeks heat up.

Way to go, Stephanie!

We headed to the cafeteria and settled in an empty seat after getting our food.

"Hey guys," a voice said, which belongs to Mike, who was staring at Lily intently.
This just got interesting.

I waved a little and concentrated back on my food. "Guys, I have going to head out with Mike," Lily said shyly after a while, and I smiled at them.

"No problem, have fun," I replied, smirking. She blushed a little, understanding the last part.

She waved at us and headed out of the cafeteria.

Angela kept talking about the trip, and I was starting to get a headache. She's so happy about the trip and I couldn't match her energy. The bad part was that I would have to endure her for a week.

The bell rang, and I have never been so happy to hear the sound.

I said my goodbye quickly and sprinted out. All that talks really got on my nerves so bad I wanted to snap at her to shut up. I walked into my math class.
I settled down in my usual seat, waiting for the other students to come in so that the class could get started.

I focused my attention on the math textbook in front of me, trying to understand the topic that is going to be taught today. I have already studied the topic before today, but it doesn't hurt to look one more time. It helps me to understand the topic more when the teacher explains.

"Hello guys, we are going to be learning geometry today. After the class, I will hand out your test script to you. Some of you did well as usual." He paused, and I smirked, knowing he was referring to me.

Not only you dumbass.

Please, I was the best student here. I can't wait to become valedictorian, and that reminds me that I need to work on my speech. It has to be perfect.

Hold your horse, that is months away. There is still winter and spring break.

Never heard of nothing is too early.
"And some need to work harder " he added gloomy, making me snap out of my thoughts.

The class started, the teacher explaining more about what I already knew.

"Any questions?" The teacher asked, looking around.
