A Promise We Made

7. The day we met II.

"YOU?? I mean- S-senior, hahaha, wha-what are you doing here? haha..." I stuttered as I spoke. "Uh- What are YOU guys doing...?" Asher asks looking up and down at the four of us. The position in which we were standing was rather...weird and embarrassing.
"Ahahaha, Kynlee, ahem you did not tell me you knew a senior" Elvie said as all of us stood up properly again, "Won't you introduce us? Hm, Kynlee??"
"OH- Yeah, of course, senior meet my friends, this is Elvie, Cascia and Melody. Guys, this is Asher our senior" I said as I gestured at them to say hello.
"Nice to meet you, Asher." Cascia said as she extended her hand towards him. Upon this my eye twitched.
"Huh? What was that just now?" I asked myself, "Whatever",  I shrugged the weird feeling away.
All of us continued walking on our path. "So, you didn't answer my question earlier" Asher said looking ahead. "Eh?" Asher giggled at my confused expression. "Earlier I asked you what you were doing here" He continued, "But it seems like you were ignoring me, you can't even remember something I said few minutes ago?" he said with a pout on his face.
"Ahhh, I just didn't hear it, I wasn't trying to ignore you senior ToT"
"Is that so?" he asked as I replied with a nod, "Then, stop calling me senior instead call me by my name"
"W-What? How can I? You are older than me, I should at least show you some respect" I declined his request.
"Look, we've reached," Melody said as she pointed at a crowd. The place where the crowd was seemed like some place for gathering. There were many people sitting on the blue stairs while some were standing. Suddenly a boy started walking towards me and my friends.
"Hey Asher, Never expected to see you here!!" A handsome tall boy with messy blond hair and shining emerald eyes was standing infront of them. "Oh, i know you both, you are in the japanese group" He said as he pointed at Cascia and Melody.
"Hi, you must be one of the seniors," Cascia asked upon which the blonde nodded, "I am Cascia and these are my friends Melody, Elvie and Kynlee."
"Hi, My name's Jason, Jason Andrews" he introduced himself, "Nice to meet you guys buttttt, i didn't knew you guys were close with THE Asher. You see he's a really quiet guy, he loves to stay home and barely comes to hangout" He poke Asher's cheek. On this, Asher slapped his hand away and wipes his cheek as though something gross as touched his skin. The four of us chuckled on their silly behaviour.
"Seems like someone hates physical touch" Melody teased.
"Oh tell me about it, he is always so grumpy, though he might act all nice and smiley towards you guys but let me warn you he's a total grump." Jason laughed.
"Well, atleast he was nice to us until now, but we'll definitely heed that warning, haha"
They continued to walk till they reached a particular group standing near the huge tree.
"Hey you guys, here are more of our juniors," Jason said while pointing at us, "This is Cascia, Melody, Elvie and er- what was your name again? I'm sorry, but i haven't seen you talk on the group so..."
"Ah, that's fine, hi I'm Kynlee Smith and yes i didn't talk on the group like the others"
"Uh-"
"Did she just-"
"Uh oh"
"That's awkward"
Everyone started muttering and whispering on what I said.
"Shit, did i say something wrong?" I thought to myself as my eyes widened,
"Iknewitishouldn'thavetalkedtomuchmoreoverishouldn'thaveevencome hereitsallamessnowwhydidieveragreetocomeherewhydidisaythatishouldhavebeencarefulnowtheywillhateme-"
Suddenly a hand came and held mine.
As I was about to look who's it was I heard a voice.
"Ahem, i think she meant she doesn't talk much, i feel like she was shy that's why she didn't talk to us on group.." A boy with jet-black hair and glasses spoke, "Maybe we can talk freely now, cause we are face to face with each other" He gave a soft smile to me.
"YESS, Now that we have come face to face, I hope we all will get along." Jason said with a bright smile on his face. Immediately a hand which was holding mine retreated. As I looked sideways to see whose it was, my cheeks started burning up. It was Asher. He knew I started overthinking so he tried to calm me down by assuring me that it was alright. A faint tint of red crawled on my cheeks and I started blushing.
"Oooo~~ i see, someone's in loveee~" A familiar voice started teasing me.
"STOP IT EL!!!" I shouted in embarrassment.
"Hahaha, okay okay, i'll stop now" Elvie spoke while brushing off the small tears which were falling from her eyes due to all the laughter.
"Okay you four, Meet the others, this is Alan, Jeremiah, Caine, Sophia, Rhea and Liana" Jason said pointing at each one of them. Judging from their looks they seemed like the other seniors.
"Jeremiah..." I mumbled while looking at the boy with glasses who previously spoke up for me.
"ANDDDD now, these are your classmates, i guess you guys might not have yet met each other because you don't seem to know everyone in your class" he continued, "Don't worry though, let me introduce them to you"
"Don't you think this blondie talks a lot" Melody whispered in my ear.
"Yeah...He's kind of...friendly"
"Kind of??? He's too friendly and don't forget the way he talks, he talks A LOT!!! With all that energy my god!!" Melody exclaimed with a little hint of annoyance.
"Don't you talk a lot with too much energy too, hmm??" Cascia teased Melody.
"Oh c'mon, i am not THAT talkative"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." the other three giggled.
"So, this is Thalia Carter, Solace Hart, Dallis ford, Maeve Pierce and Phoebe Stewart."
All of us introduced ourselves to each other. Immediately everyone started chatting with each other. It felt as if a spark had been sensed by each one of us. A bond was being formed between us. An unbreakable Bond.
"Looks like everyone's getting along, don't you think?" Jason asked Asher who was just standing there silently all this time.
"Mhm"
"Oh c'mon, i saw you being all talkative with that girl er- what was her name again?"
"Kynlee"
"YEAH, Kynlee- woah~~Look at you"
"What?" Asher gave a disgusting look at jason.
"Nothing~"
"Stop looking at me that way" Asher kept giving a side eye to Jason because he kept smiling like a weirdo.
The atmosphere was filled with laughter and warmth. Everyone seemed to enjoy their time.
Everything was going perfectly, until...

"SERIOUSLY?? You are leaving because of THAT one silly reason? God, i can't believe you"
