Unexpected Lovers (On HOLD!)

Chapter 11: Earth to Iva

I was sitting on my bed with my legs folded, as I  fiddled with my bracelet.

Im still thinking about what happened with Ash. I felt bad for blowing up on him like that, and the fact that I told him not to talk to me made matters even worse.

I would be going to school tomorrow and I knew that I couldn't face him alone.

So I decided that I'd turn on my phone finally and text Nash.

As soon as I turn it on I have a missed call from a number that I didnt recognize and a cabillion texts from Nash.

Nash: IVA!
ARE YOU OKAY!!?!
I slapped her for you! Because what she did was fucked up.
Where are you!?
Where's Asher!?
Ivana answer me pleaase!

I was taken back by what I was reading.

She slapped Jacqueline?

Alright Nash! I felt myself mentally give her a pat on the back and soin after, decided that I would text her back.

Me: Nash! You slapped her!? Yaasss! But yea I was with Asher. Things started to get weird and now we're not speaking. But I'm kind of tired so I'll see you tomorrow at school.

***The Next Day***

I got ready for school pretty quickly today. Mostly because I didn't really put that much effort into my outfit.

I just threw on a pair of denim blue jeans and a mustard yellow varsity sweatshirt which I paired with my custom all yellow Adidas superstars.

Then I made my hair into a ponytail, grabbed my glasses, and left.

No one was really awake this morning so I was able to just spring out of the house.

That was when I saw him.

We didn't exchange words, smiles, or even waves. We just glared at each other and left in our vehicles.

Suprising enough, we got to school at about the same amount of time.

We didnt even acknowledge each others' existence. Just went into the building and began class.

First period I spent with Nash, and with glares at us from time to time coming from all corners of the room but we just ignored them.

We talked about what happened yesterday, but we were cut from our conversation by the ringing of the bell.

We waved and hugged. The next time I'd see her would be at lunch, but I dont think that I could survive for that long.

I leave class to transition to second period, and I see Asher, with some girl.

She was short, and had blonde hair, that she was twirling.

I automatically knew who it was. She was Alysson.

What was he doing with her? I mean I always knew she liked him, but I didn't know if he shared the same feelings. I guess he has a type. Dumb blondes with big boobs. Or at least that's what his last girls friends consisted of. The dumbest of them all though was Brooke Winkfeild.

Breaking my train of though, I focused my attention back to where Ash was, and I stood there observing them.

He was leaning against the locker, and she was coming closer to him as she began to press herself on him.

That was when his eyes looked up from her to meet my gaze.

Our eyes widened, but I quickly looked away, tucking a peice of hair behind my ear and began to walk into my second period class.

Through out the rest of the period leading up to lunch I couldn't stop thinking about how close she was to him. It made me sick inside, but I didn't know why.

I shouldn't care, and I didnt.

I didn't give two fucks.

If he wanted to be with Alysson, then let them be together.

What do I care?

During lunch, it consisted of my picking at my salad with my fork and listening to Nash go on about how unreasonable her parents were being by not getting her a new car.

I just looked down and played with my salad, as I pretended to listen.

That was when I realized that I was not even here. Nash had to snap her fingers to bring me back down to earth again.

"Hellooo.. Earth to Iva"

I quickly studder and shoot my eyes at her "hmm? What? What happened?"

"Iva are you okay?" She looked at me with eyes of worry, but I quickly let her know that there was nothing to worry about by giving her a forced smile and saying, "yea I'm good," when in reality I had no idea what was going on inside of that head of mines.

That was when they walked into the caf and my eyes immediately shot towards them.

Nash's eyes followed my gaze and I heard a gasp followed with an "oh god," underneath her breath. Ash and Alysson were walking side by side, with his arm slung around her shoulder and her arm wrapped around his waist.

I was annoyed at the fact that Asher didn't have any fucking standards anymore. I'd rather him be with Brooke than Alysson because Brooke hadn't slept with the whole football, soccer, and basketball team, including the debate club. Not to mention, she's slept with one of my brothers, but I guess Asher could be added to her list as well.

Nash immediately realizes that there was something going on when I scoffed at their presence, looked back down at my salad and continued to pick at it with my fork.

"Iva..?" She said dragging out the a.

"Hmm?"

"Are you upset about Asher and Alysson?"

I look at her like she's crazy.

"Me? Jealous about whatever the fuck that is?," I say pointing at them with my thumb, "No way Nash no motherfucking way.."

"I never said jealous Iva."

"Ugh whatever Nash. I don't care about whatever the fuck they have and I never will."

I get my bookbag and swing it over my shoulder hurriedly, and with out looking, I turn around to leave, but that was a collosle mistake.

I had no idea that they were standing behind us and I end up bumping into Alysson and knocking her down.

I hear Nash gasp and she immediately comes around to help me up saying "Iva."

I felt strong arms help me up. I knew it was Asher, but I quickly grab myself away from him, getting myself up off of the floor.

"Let go of me. I'm fine. Leave me alone. Go take care of your girlfriend. She's on the floor too you know."

He fixes his mouth to say something but I quickly cut him off by turning to Alysson and saying "I'm so sorry. I didn't know you were there."

I gestured for Nash to grab my hand so we could leave the caf, and get a head start on going to class before the lunch period finished.

As we were walking she teasingly asked, "Ivana..?"

I pulled her along, walking rather quickly, saying "I don't even want to talk about it."

With that we were off to the last period of the day.

I was dreading it because that was the one I had with Asher.

I couldn't sit next to him, not after everything that had happened, so I ask the teacher Mr.Batcher if I could switch seats with Alysson, and sit next to Nash and he promptly did so.

The pirks of being a good student are finally paying off.

When Asher walked into the classroom and saw me not sitting in my normal seat, but in Alysson's, his eyes turned dark.

He glared at me, clenching his jaw, and causing a shiver to run down my spine with those eyes of his. He was angry, but I didn't care.

He could be with Alysson now.

He should be happy, I did him a favor.
