Bad Boys Can't Love

The New Couple

Great. Just freakin great. I sigh, marching through the hallways, Asher next to me. He tries to keep up with me, as he turns to me, his face filled with confusion.
I hear the gossip everywhere. About Adam and Kayla. It's not my business, I'm not hanging out with either of them anymore. Yet, I'm still pissed. Rumor has it that Adam was heartbroken and then he kissed Kayla. Just. Great.
A look of realization spreads across Asher's face when he catches what some girl is saying. He pulls me into a tight hug, calming me down a little. "I'm so pissed. Like why-" I begin to rant angrily, but I'm stopped by a tap on my shoulder, coming from behind me.
"Sorry." Adam says as I turn around. "Have a great day." I sarcastically say, giving him a super plastic smile. I march away from him, Asher now able to keep up.
"You shouldn't let him bother you." Asher tells me. "I know, I don't even have a clue why I'm mad. I just am." I sigh, slumping against a classroom door.
Adam is now running towards me. Can he not take a hint? "What the hell do you want?" I spit out angrily at Adam. "I want to apol-" he begins, but I cut him off. "Don't freakin bother, you can go over to Kayla now. She's looking for you." I say in an annoyed tone, gesturing to Kayla a few feet behind him.
   He rubs the back of his neck and strides towards Kayla. He looks angrily towards her, and seems to be saying something mean. He walks away from both her and me, leaving her upset. She runs after him.
   "That was harsh." Asher says quietly. I nod, sinking deeper into the door. Asher is sitting next to me, so I lean my head against his shoulder. He looks surprised, and a bit uncomfortable. "Sorry." I mumble as I pick up my head. He shrugs, standing up. He then helps me up, and begins to lead me somewhere.
   "Where are we going?" I ask as we walk towards the side exit. "We're ditching. You need ice cream." He explains, smirking slightly. "You know me too well." I chuckle, holding on to his hand.

After all this time, how can Asher still expect me to be like other girls? He expects me to order some gross low fat ice cream like all the other girls he knows do, but he's got another thing coming.
"I'll take the MayJay please." I grin. Yeah, that's right. The local ice cream place has ice creams for months, like the January Swirl, but they love me so much that they let me choose and name May. I go there all the time, so they always let me have discounts. "You got it, Jay." Peter ruffles my hair.
"Wait, you have your own ice cream?" Asher asks me, shocked. I nod casually, "It's my turn to for everything- stress, happiness, boredom. So basically all the time." I smile. The MayJay is embarrassing because of its size- eight scoops(chocolate, vanilla, pistachio, cookies n cream, peanut butter, chocolate chip, dark night coco, Butterfinger swirl, and coffee. Served in a cone dish, this comes with the toppings of hot fudge, whipped cream, and chocolate chips.
When Peter hands me my order, Asher's eyes widen. "Thanks, tell Spencer I said hi." I say simply as we sit down.
I hand Asher a spoon and we split the delectable order. Asher moans happily, "Amazing." He says finally. I nod in agreement, "I know have this like a million times a week." He smirks wildly, so I look up at him curiously.
"What?" I ask. "Nothing." He laughs. I push him more, until he finally gives in. "I don't get how your so skinny! I work out all the time to get this bod, and to be honest, if I skip I get fat." Asher pouts. I laugh. "Admit it, you love the bod." He gloats. Yes, I do. It's soooo hot and dreamy. He stares at me in shock. Oh, shit. Did I say that out loud? "Yes, you did." Asher smirks, "And I now know for sure that you love it." He plays off his blush, even though it's still dancing upon his toned face.

After we finish, Asher hold my hand in his and we go for a walk in the park.
The sun is shining and it's warm out, light rays reaching through the green trees. We play another game of questions.
"Favorite color?" He asks. "Blue." I answer, "You?" He laughs, "Honestly? Or what you expect me to say." I decide, "Honestly."
"Well, you probably think I'll say black, but really it's yellow." he says, looking embarrassed and blushing. "Why?" I ask curiously. "It reminds me of you." he says softly and cutely. I blush, "Why me?" He knows the answer immediately. "Because you're the light of my life."
I stop. Did he really just say that. Then, as his next words slip out, I realize he had one of my moments. "Dang, did I say that out loud?" Asher cringes, muttering swears under his breath. I nod, "Yeah but I don't mind."
I rest my head against his shoulder as we keep walking, "Anyway, you're the light of my life as well." I smile at him, looking into his deep, beautiful eyes. He blushes, but tries to play it off. He fails miserably, giving in to his Crimson blush.

The day continues, with millions of more questions. Favorite song to favorite flower, favorite subject to favorite type of kiss. Favorite animal to who we like-
"Who do you like?" Asher asks calmly and smoothly. "Like...like-like?" I ask like a foolish little girl in elementary school, as I blush so red I probably look like a tomato.
He nods quietly, waiting for a response. "Well... No one." I lie, "You?"
"I think my answer is the same as your real answer, at least I hope so." Asher begins. Wait, will he say something sweet and cheesy like 'They're standing in front of me?' I bite my lip and can't help but blush as I wait for his words to come. "I'm not too sure if I like this someone but I don't feel that I should tell you for both of our sakes." He says finally. I nod in agreement. Awkward.
   We go in with the game. "Dessert?" "Hobbie?" "Sport?"
   The game goes on forever until we both are exhausted. I glance down at my phone, to see that it's already 12. We've been playing for almost four hours- who knew such a simple game could keep us so occupied?
   We end up going back to my house to escape the heat. As we're sitting in my bedroom, my mind goes blank. Why didn't I go to school again? I think for a few minutes. Oh yeah, I ditched because of Adam and Kayla. It doesn't even bother me anymore, I completely had forgotten. Only the best people in your life can do that for you. Make you forget the bad by giving you the good.
