Chapter 7 : A Friend Indeed (Asher's prov)  

 "Then she walked out" I finished on the phone with my best friend Hope.

"Well," Hope began I could see that he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Maybe, and this is just a suggestion, um, well maybe she doesn't like you the way you like her?" I rolled my eyes.

"Maybe, but Hope you can state your opinion. I won't be mad ya know."

"Yeah." He replied shakily. I shook my head.

"Why are you so shy?"

"And when has my best friend been so strict?" He answered back.

"I'm not that strict. But if anything blame it on hormones." I said. Clearing my throat I went on,

"I answered yours and now, as my best guy friend you must answer mine." Hope sighed,

"to be honest I don't know. I just freeze up when I'm around people and can't seem to struck up a decent conversation." He sounded very annoyed.

"Happy now?" He snapped. Oh man, don't want to get on his bad side.

"Yeah. By the way you should always try to get out your opinion who knows It might count." Asher said.  Hope growled.

"Don't you think I already freaking, tried?!  Idiot. I swear sometimes  your stupidity takes my breath away." He paused suddenly as if time had stopped. Then began again.

"Asher I am so sorry. That was absolutely rude of me to do I don't know what came over me and I apologize." I laughed. He was kidding right? 

"Dude! Your AWSOME when your mean you show people who's boss!"Hope laughed.

"Thanks, but I kinda only do that around the people I've known for a long time. I tend to be more comfortable and sometimes I get out of hand. So I'm sorry."

"Hope Inferno Henderson! If you apologize one more time I will have to jump through the phone and single-handedly  jump you. Be yourself! Who knows? the results might surprise you." I said.

"Thank you, Asher ill try to be. Now, enough about me let's talk about your boo!" I smiled at the way he extended the O.

"Riki's not my Bo Hope. She made it clear there was nothing between us so I'm not gonna bother. It won't be fair to Riki and I won't feel right doing something like that to her." 

"Uh huh." Just then a began to have a splitting headache. I groaned at the pain.

"Asher you ok man?"  I nodded.

"Just a headache."

"Well you sound horrible! Do you want me to come over and help you feel better?"  he asked

"Yeah, thanks."

"No problem, be right over." Then the line went dead. I tell you. What would I do without a friend like Hope to have around?
