Anxiety Chapter 5

Ashlynn's P.O.V.

I was looking at Hunter from my side of the Auditorium. He seemed to be looking at that girl from before...But why? Why would he be looking at her? Is there something going between them? Hmm..

It's been a while since this big speech has been going on. I looked back at Hunter. He was talking to her. What is going on over there? Is he possibly having a secret relationship with her?!This can't be! Hunter wouldn't cheat on me! Especially not with her. Maybe they are just talking because they're friends.. I'm probably just too paranoid to think straight; I'm overthinking this... The worst case scenario is that he might even end up with her! I have to find out who she is. She can't take my man from me!

   Headmaster Grimm's announcement thing has ended. We were being escorted to our classes. I was wondering where Hunter was until I heard someone calling me.

   "Hey Ashlynn! Wait for us, we're going to Apples locker!,"Briar shouted as she was running up to me.

   I spotted Hunter! Bingo! Wait a second... He is walking with her!! Why?! I thought he was going to wait for me to walk with him! No fair!

"Uhm Ashlynn?", Briar asked confused on what she was looking at,so she turned around just to turn back to me.

"What were you looking at over there, silly", she told me,"Cmon, let's go!". She grabbed my hand and started to walk towards the rest of our group.

"Girls, I found Ashlynn", Briar told them. I turned back to see if Hunter was still with her. They weren't there anymore. Sometimes I wish I could just know what's going on over there and for Briar to stop bugging me.

"Okay.. Here it is!", Apple told us enthusiastically showing us her locker. We were all amazed. Her locker was beautifully decorated and organized, as we would expect from our dear Apple White.

   I have to leave though. I can't stay with them right now.. I need to find those two, and fast! I managed to sneak out without them noticing. They must be that entertained with Apple's locker because you can easily hear my footsteps since my shoes as made out of glass.

I turned to see them just to make sure none of them actually noticed. Eye contact was made when I saw Apple glaring at me. My eyes widened. She turned around and acted as if nothing has ever happened. I think that means that she let me off the hook! I couldn't just let my chance slide! I was running down the halls of Ever After to find Hunter or that girl to talk to either one of them. In fact, now I am sprinting and trying to figure out what should tell either one of them.

   DING!!! DING!!! DING!!!

The bell rang. The tardy bell, to be specific.

That's when I remembered that I can't ever be late to class. I was slowing down panting, trying to find my class instead of trying to find them. My beautiful outfit started turning into old rags by the second, one by one. This is the sole reason why I should never be late.

Why did I get myself into this mess? I asked myself panting infront of the classroom door.

I peeked inside to only be finding Hunter sitting next to her or that girl.

             I nervously chuckled.

           Well isn't that ironic?
