-LARA'S PoV-

WELL AT LEAST THIS IS THE LAST DAY OF THE EXAMINATION WEEK. Thank goodness. I'm sick of all of this school shits. But, the good thing about the end-term examination week is that we are going to get one month break. Yes. Just how cool is that?

I stared at the exam paper in front of me and glance sideways to the clock at the opposite side of the room. It's 11. Finally! 15 more minutes and we're freed from all of this bullshit! We still have to be at school until 2 doe.

I glanced to the back and I spot my other half, Spencer (we'll get to him later. Don't worry). Oh look at him, he's sleeping peacefully. His head are rested in his hand in the table and he pulled his hoods up so no one can see him. Great job Spencer. It's a good thing you can still pull off those grades (he's really smart tbh. He's like a walking computer). I take a quick glance around the class. God. 90% of them are asleep. I still can't tell if some are already finished or they just simply give up.

I yawned and I rested my head in the table. I finished this chemistry shit 1 hour ago and I already had my nap once I finished this test. God. There's nothing that I can do right now. I can only doze off or start imagining things. That kind of sucks but for the last 10 minutes I think its ok. I stare at the class supervisor for today, Mr. Asher. Okay, he's 23 and he's super tall (around 6'7") and he had this beautiful sculptured face (dem jawline and cheekbones) and his body is very toned. Well, he's the most popular teacher at school. All the girls are dying to get his attention. The worse thing is, he happens to teach biology. THAT makes everything worse ok. All right I have to tell you guys this. I have been friends with Ash (I gave him that nickname) for 10 years or so. So, when he was only 13 I was only 8. I wasn't attracted to him at all (surprisingly) probably because I know him and I can read him like a fucking open book. So when girls are talking things like "I want to marry Mr. Asher! He's so fucking hot and he's really kind" well bitch, you have no idea who the fuck he is.

Ash stood up and he gave a small sigh. Well I guess he's tired facing all of us (especially me) every single day. He knocked the whiteboard a few times and almost everyone woke up.

"Alright everyone. I'm going to take your test paper now. And also don't leave the classroom until I finished taking ALL the test" he announced and he started walking around the class.

I guess everyone had the same feeling as I do. Most of them started to jump around the class or even screaming and yelling. Some of them started to walk around the class looking for their friends or comparing answers. I feel a light tap in my shoulder and I turned to see Spencer looking so sleepy and tired.

"Hey mate" I said to him.

Spencer gave a weak smile. It's very obvious that he's trying so hard to wake up.

"Hey mate" he replied.

Spencer sat down in the floor right next to me. He rested his head in his hand and he started dozing off again. I ruffled his messy dark brown hair and at the same time, Ash took away my test. I turned to him. He's staring at my answer sheet and he caught my gaze.

"if you got a score below 90 I'm putting you on a summer school by the end of term 4" he said.

I raised my eyebrows at him because I know he wouldn't dare to do It and there is no way (there is a way) I would get a score below 90. He gave me a smirk and he continue to the table behind me.

"Spen you ok? You look tired" he said.

I looked at Ash and he glared at me. Bwahahahahaaha. I'm a very bad friend I know (I always tease him whenever he talk to Spen because I don't know. I kinda ship them). Don't look at me that way. Spen looks up to him and smiled.

"I'm fine, I'm just tired" Spencer replied.

I could see a faint trace of worriedness in Ash face but it quickly disappear when he saw my evil smirking face. That's why don't be too close to me. I'm not going to spoil your secret but I'm going to tease you the whole time. Ash sighed once he finished, he went back to his seat at the front. Suddenly the class becomes quiet. This is what so amazing about Ash. He can make people do what he wants. For example, he can make my class, the noisiest and the worst yet the best class silent only by siting down.

Ash clears his throat.

"Alright people. You guys are allowed to do whatever the fuck you want. Just don't leave the class ok. And miss Lara Carter" he looks at me and the whole calss turn their attention to me.

"I have to talk to you. Meet me outside the class" he said and he left the room.

I sighed and well some of them asked me questions like "are you ok?" or "what did you do?" or even the preps at school (which are my friends) gave me a confused look (Ash only call someone out if they did something) . I only smiled at them and I could see Spencer raised his eyebrow as he chuckles. Knowing Ash, I know that he's not going to scold me instead he needs to talk to me.

I stood up and I left the room. Ash is sitting outside the class in a bench nearby and he gestured me to come to him. I walked to him and sit next to him. I pat him in the shoulder but he didn't turn to look at me., instead he kept looking to the floor. I sigh as I clear my throat.

"Soooo, it appears that someone is love struck and he needs an advice. I have to warn you though, I am not someone you should run for love advice". I said.

Ash looks at me and he gave me a smile.

"I do know that moron. But how did y-" he paused then he shook his head.

"Never mind" he added.

I chuckled " I can read you like an open book. We've been friends for 10 fucking years"

He didn't reply but he smiles. I could see from the depth of his eyes that he's in love (and struggling). But I frowned. Who on earth does he like? For this 10 years I still have no idea what is his sexuality (what a good friend I am. Wow). I am listing 100 names in my fucking head and I still have no idea who does he like. He let out a big sigh and he suddenly looks at me with an intense gaze. I flinch at his sudden movement.

"Lars" he said. He studied my face and he frown.

"Are you serious that you don't know? " he asked.

I frowned at his question "am I serious about what" I asked again.

He frowns "I know you're trying to guess who is the person that I like" he added.

I gave him a small nod and I put on my most innocent face. He looks disgusted. I laughed and I ruffled his hair. He grabbed my hand and he lace his fingers with mine. That is one thing that he always does every time he had a problem.

"You know who this person is" he said.

I only shook my head. Seriously Ash. Tell me now. Hints and clues won't help.

"Really Lars. You're just too dumb. God. What kind of a friend are you?" he said then he returned his gaze back to the floor.

"Well" I said.

"The only thing that I know is that you're struggling hard right now. What kind of girl is it? I mean, you never look this sad and stuff" I said.

He looked at me with a very surprised face then he chuckles.

"You're clueless aren't you?" he asked then he laugh.

I can only stare at him (yes, I am clueless) dumbfounded and confused.

"Uh"

"What. I don't get it" I said.

Ash shook his head and he stood up. He still didn't let go of my hand and that cause me to stand up too. Ash kissed my hand and he leans close to my ear and he whispers

"It's not a girl. It's a fucking guy"
