Her Muse

Chapter four

       "And that's how it went." I finished describing to Lori how the encounter with Cole went.

"My, my what a jerk. I mean he could have just told you nicely that he couldn't do it." Lori huffed, propping her head up on her arm as we laid in my bed.

"Beat me, I guess I'll just have to read a ton of romantic genres to understand them." I shrugged sitting upright on the bed.

"So putting that aside when are you going to tell Asher that you like him?" I asked wiggling my brows.

"Not this again probably never. It's just a crush according to my research it takes 6 months to go away so we just have to wait." Lori said picking her fingernails.

"Oh that means you've gone past crushing and now you really like him cause you have had a crush on him since we were freshmen... and now we're juniors" I said stressing the situation.

"Roxy, drop it please." She groaned and rolled to her back.

"Lori I've been dropping it since we were 15. It hurts every time I see you clenching your fists and gritting your teeth when you brings yet another girl over to our table. And then you try to make him jealous by dating countless guys which is futile every freaking time because he doesn't even spare you with glance. Either tell him or move on if he doesn't give you a chance, well at least it's better than waiting all your life for a person who doesn't feel the same." I finished hoping she would finally listen this time. She stayed silent for a long time and I was beginning to get worried until she came over to hug me.

"Thank you Roxanne I love that you care and it'll be so hard but I'll tell him. If he... If he doesn't reciprocate then I'm too good for him." She said letting me go and giving me a sad smile.

"Yeah and I'll break all the bones in his body. Though I suck at biology I'll make sure to name every one as I break them." I said and grinned. We both laughed and she sighed.

"I love you bestie." She said afterwards. I turned to her." Eww don't be cringe. But I love you, you pitiful girl." I said and gave her a wink. She shoved me and I laughed out loud.

"You guys have to come for my game this weekend." Asher begged as we walked to the cafeteria. "Especially you Lori. You'll be my good luck charm." He said facing her. She turned her face away and muttered a " yeah whatever." But I saw her blush which she tried to cover with her hair.

"Don't worry Asher we'll be there. Cheering from the front lines." I said bumping my shoulder in his. As we were about take a seat, someone grabbed my arm. I turned around and surprise, surprise; it was Cole.

"We need to talk." He said to me.

"Huh? Why?" I asked dumbly looking at the food I was sadly going to abandon.

"Well-" he began but Lori cut him off.

"Just go Roxy. Hear what he has to say." She said and practically pushed me to him. She's clearly enjoying this. Sneaky little chipmunk. I frowned.

"Yeah, go we'll take very good care of your food for you." Asher said grinning evilly.

"Wait, what? nooooo!!" I said dramatically while Cole literally dragged me away from the cafeteria.

"You sure are loud aren't ya? kids in China could've heard your screeching voice."  He said sarcastically once we got outside.

"Oh stop being dramatic. You basically separated me from food. I can almost hear Asher's villainous laugh all the way from there cause he's going to steal it." I pouted and folded my arms. I didn't give a damn if I looked immature right now.

"Quit fussing. I'll get you some new food." He said rolling his eyes.

"Really?" I asked perking up.

"Yeah whatever." He said turning his head away.

"So what do you want to talk about? Finally reconsidered?" I asked and raised a brow at him.

"As a matter of fact, yes I have. All I have to do is be myself and you'll flock around me like some reporter right?" He asked bored but I couldn't care less considering all I had to gain from this.

"Yeah, pretty much. So you're up for it?" I asked trying to hide my excitement but unfortunately, failing miserably.

"Only if you do something for me in return." He muttered like he was forced to say this.

" What?" I asked curiously.

"You have to-" He paused and sighed. "You have to let me use your hair." He finished, an evidence of a blush on his cheeks.

"Huh? You wanna cut my babies? Cause I have these big guns and I'm not afraid to use them." I said flexing my muscles and trying to appear tough. I think I ended up embarrassing myself because he looked amused.

"That's not it." He said nervous. "I wanna practice on your hair. I'm a stylist." He said finally. "Or at least I want to be." I can bet a million bucks that my reaction looked surprised as I said "What the...."
