Knowing Asher

Chapter|66|

"Why did you spend your whole day in the library yesterday?" Amanda asked, and I gestured for her to let me finish the food in my mouth.

Also, I took my time to think of an excuse because I didn't want them to worry about me. "Exam jittery," I replied, half honest. Yeah, I was having exam jitter because I was failing tests. How would I pass the exam?

I watched their reaction to see if they believed me or not.

"Ummmm," Amanda drawled out and gave me a quizzical look.

"You missed the hottest gist of the century," Angela squealed, definitely buying the excuse.

Asher squeezed my hand under the table, and I reciprocated his action smiling. He wasn't even looking at me, yet he knew I kinda needed that assurance. Things might not be going my way now, but I will find a way out of it.

"What happened?" I asked, turning to Angela, sipped my banana smoothie.

"Katrina and Mason, that's what happened," she replied, grinning, and I urged her to go on.

"Mason professed his love to her and asked her to be his girlfriend even after everything she has done to him. Like the guy is blind in love, she practically left and chased after Asher. Long story cut short, she agreed to be his girlfriend, and they made out. For about seven minutes and which made me wonder if they could breathe while sucking each other's face off," Angela paused and exhaled deeply as if proving her point.

"They were busying eye fucking each other before they headed out. It was obvious what they went out to do," Rose completed, making Angela pout.

"My story," she grumbled, and I giggled lightly. I glanced around to spot the newest couple, and they weren't that hard to find. Katrina was sitting on his lap playing with his hair while he was discussing with the members of his swimming team.

"That was unexpected. The guy really loves her so much, so I am hoping she would actually quit breaking his heart. She should be committed to him," I pouted, taking my eyes off them.

I have never had any conversation with the guy, but I could imagine how he feels each time she breaks his heart by sleeping with other guys. "I hope so too," Lily said, and Amanda nodded, agreeing with her.

"She will never stop being a bitch," Angela said and I second that.

Her behavior on Sunday proved that.
The bell rang, and we got up. I finished my smoothie quickly and disposed off my wraps.

"Okay, see you guys at practice," I heard Asher say before turning to me. I already said goodbye to my friends.

I smiled at him, and he just smiled back.

"English it is then," he said, and I nodded.

He tugged me along to the entrance, and we crossed paths with the newest couple in town. "Asher," Mason deadpanned.

"Mason," Asher replied in the same tone, and I glanced at Katrina, who glued to his chest.

"Congrats on whatever you guys have going on," Asher said, flashing them a small smile, and Mason scoffed.

"Please, you are jealous that I got her, and you got her," the Mason guy said, and I narrowed my eyes at him.

He said, what now?!

And his stupid girlfriend was just giggling by his side. "I rejected her remember and my cupcake put her in her place. It's useless explaining things to you," Asher said, smirking and pulled me out before they could think of a comeback.

"I don't get why that dude doesn't like me because I am the most likeable person," Asher grumbled, and I faked cough to annoy him. He glared at me, and I gave him an innocent look.
