Amelia's pov
" Hey Lia" Asher begins and I know he's in need of a favour or else he won't look in my direction as he did the whole week and a week before that.
" What is it that I can help with?" I say and walk towards my locker . Suddenly I wish Rachel was here instead of him ... she's far better company than him now.
It's strange isn't it ? How one moment he was the person I thought would always be the brother and I could always talk to him but now I feel like turning away and never looking back.
I don't get what was the need to avoid me , to never look at me , to dodge every conversation I throw at him in the past weeks. I want to ask these questions to him and get my answers but at the same time my ego tells me to stop giving two fucks and leave.
I realised that I didn't hear whatever he replied to me and I opened my locker . He leaned against the locker beside mine ... looking at the floor.
" Do you have something to say?" I speak
" I want to talk to you about something but you're mad at me and I hate to say this but I am sorry for everything. I do realise I have done wrong with you. " He says
I shut my locker with a thud showing that I am not mad... I am furious.
" Okay Lia please hear me out I'll tell you everything. " He says
" I don't want to know everything but just why me? Why did you only do this to ME?" I say
" Umm... because you know me ." He says
Now I am confused
" What kind of lame excuse is that Asher?" I say
" Yeah that sounded lame....let me elaborate. You would've guessed something's going on and I am stressed about something and then gotten it out of me which I didn't want to happen. I wanted to think this through alone so I kind of avoided you to avoid that particular conversation." He says looking ashamed as he should.
Thats really immature. If he didn't want to have that conversation or if he needed to keep things to himself all he had to do was tell me about it clearly. I would have understood and left the topic alone for him to be ready.
" Grow up Asher." I say and start walking towards my class
" I know that was absurd but now I want to tell you what's been going on this whole time." He says
My first thought is to tell him to shove it up his ass and never look at my direction for help.
But he's my friend and I know that no matter what I would never turn my back on him or any of my friends if they're ever in need of me .
" Lets meet up at Rosie's. You and me after school . You're driving me. Bye , I have class. " I say and take off leaving him .
How much of a workload it is to have a group of friends...but I love them
I have biology now ... I enter the class and notice a familiar head of red hair. Maggie- no umm Marlin...no shit what was her name even?
Bloody red headed cherry it is for me
I take a seat beside her...no no not never willingly but she's the only person having an empty place beside her . If not for Asher being a pain I would have gotten to class early .
This is one of my favourite classes but the red cheery here is ruining it all by her mere presence .
We all begin taking notes . I am thankful for the red head beside me not trying to converse. My mind drifts to Asher. I don't know what we'll talk at Rosie's but I have to hear him out . He definitely seemed tensed.
I might have made a stressed face as I feel the red head's eyes on me
" What?" I say sharply turning towards her
" I didn't say anything did I? " She says
" Or maybe you're just desperately wanting to talk to me . Oh I know I am charming...you can't help but get allured to me . " She continues and I can clearly notice the playfulness within her tone.
" Shut up . You're anything but charming." I say
" Is there anything you'd like to share to the class Miss Amelia and Miss....."
" Mariana and No , we'd like to keep our matters private you can continue to teach ." She says and I can't help but like her attitude.
" Out you red head " Mrs Rose says and I interrupt
" We're leaving woman ...stop making a fuss " I say getting up from my seat
" I did not tell you to go Amelia. "
" I don't recall taking your permission mam." I say and walk out
" You didn't have to come out with me. You'll miss your lecture and notes . I know you're big on stu-"
Mariana says but I cut her
" Do you ever shut up?" I say .... can't help being the bitch I am
" Yeah sorry..." She says and we walk together
" Okay so... I am sorry I have been a bitch. I just don't do well with new people. " I say feeling the need to explain my behaviour. I don't know why do I even put up the tough act. I am a deep softie all together.
" Yeah Rachel warned me on that one. " She says
" Okay but we're friends okay. Just don't expect me to be all girly shit with you. I am fine mostly alone and I love company but don't include me much in conversations ... I'll jump in whenever I feel like." I tell her and we carry on to our lockers
" You're a good person altogether. Glad to be your friend. Byeee" she flees with this...
Weirdo!
I change my books for the next class and head towards the bleachers to spend rest of my left time studying.
