Knowing Asher

Chapter|33|

Stephanie

Sleep tight - A.

Same - S.

I let out a sigh of relief. I was kinda scared to text him, not knowing what to expect. Having him over still feels like a dream. I nuzzled my nose into my dad's hoodie, which smells a lot like him now.
Sorry, dad, but you are never getting this back.

You are a creep.

I can be his creep.

Cheesy, I hate.

I don't care about what you like and don't like. Enough about boys!

I think it is just one boy.

Your problem.

I settled in my reading chair and proceeded to do my assignments.
I finished minutes later and decided to read for a while. I covered my mouth as I yawned.

Time to call it a day.

"You guys are doing great. Don't worry, we will wrap this up before lunchtime," I assured scanning through everyone's face.

We were busy practicing for the play, and I am glad everyone was taking it seriously.

'I do protest, I never injured thee, / But love thee better than thou canst devise'.

The part when a fight broke out between Mercutio and Tybalt comes up which ended with Mercutio being stabbed after Romeo gets in the way. While dying, Mercutio curses both houses of Capulet and Montague exclaiming 'A plaque o' both your houses! I am sped'. In revenge for his friend's death,Romeo seeks out Tybalt and kills him. When the prince arrives, he announces, 'And for that offence / Immediately we do exile him hence.'

"That was really nice, guys," I said, feeling proud of them.

The teacher entered into the hall. "This place looks good. I hope you all are getting the hang of it. The play is a week from now," the teacher said.

"Yes sir," I assured, and his lips twitched up a bit.

He walked out, and we concluded. Asher was talking to Sosa, and she was really blushing hard. I glared at the duo before sauntering off to the cafeteria.

I collected my food tray and headed to my friends. "How is the play going?" Amanda asked, and I managed to mumble 'good'.

"You okay?" Angela asked, and I nodded with a fake smile.

I should stop thinking about them. There was nothing going on between them. They are working together, so it was only nice that they started hanging out.

I forced myself to finish my food. I walked out as the bell rang.

Such a bad day!

The good part is that the play is going to be done soon, and then they won't need to see each other every day.

Acting like a jealous girlfriend doesn't suit you.

I know that I feel so dumb right now. It was all his fault. He made me like him so much.

He didn't do anything.

Stop pointing out the obvious and make me have this moment. It was Friday so I won't have to see their faces until Monday.

The rest of the day ended in a blur. I said my goodbyes and headed to the bus stop.

On getting home, I changed my clothes and then proceeded to cook dinner. Iate some and watch a movie. I read afterwards and fell asleep.
