All The Love {Stud×Fem}

Chapter Twenty-Two

JADE

It was the last semester of our school lives. It was the season of SAT's. I haven't even started and I felt dreadful. As much as I disliked homework, I loathed exams even more, but it was for the betterment of the student, the betterment of me.

The whole class was in revision mode. Asia and I saw each other lesser and less due to this, she was a workaholic and more determined than I was. I wished her all the best, she was number one in our class when it came to work. I saw her during class, at lunch, and on our walks home. That was it, no dates, no house visits, nada.

Asia didn't want me distracting her too much. I understood, but it was still hard to resist. I mean, fuck, look at her. I let her have alone time and took some as well. We both studied for hours and hours. It was brain-draining.

During each lunchtime, Asia and I snuck off to have make-out sessions beneath the field bleachers. We were never saw or disturbed. These small minutes to ourselves made us feel like we were the last two humans on earth. I cherished moments like these.

When the time came, we sat our exams. I was nervous for all of them. I couldn't cease thinking that I'd fail. Whenever I circled an answer to a choice I was unsure about, I believed it was incorrect. It made me feel sad thinking I'd fail and when the results were released, I saw otherwise.

I attained an overall score of 1020. The bar was set at 1600 and 400 was the lowest. Asia scored 1250, Desirae scored 1080, and Makena scored 910. Those tests busted the hell out of our brains.

And now that those were over, we could look forward to our school dance. I've never been to one, was never interested, but it was our last and I wanted to take Asia.

There were a ton of students shooting their shots in the most insane methods. I wanted mine to be a sweet cakewalk. I didn't want to do all that extra shit. At least, it didn't seem extra to me.

At school, when it was lunchtime, I left first and went to the auditorium with Makena. Desirae came and distracted Asia.

We reached the auditorium and traversed to the bottom of the stairs. Makena rolled a drum set out from behind the curtains.

Makena handed me an item. The room went dark and Asia walked in. Marcus was in the control booth. He was a theatre kid.

The room illuminated. I stood there with blue roses in hand, the item. I hid them earlier. Blue was Asia's favorite color.

Makena started beating the drums. Asia beamed in awe. Makena sounded her favorite tune. Solange - Cranes in the Sky.

"Hello, beautiful." I said with a smile. "Hi, bae." Asia said. "You can come down." I said, calling her over. Asia walked down to me. "I know what this is and I'm excited."

"I am, too." I held Asia's hand. Her beam ceased to vanish. I held the roses out. "Asia Wilson, will-"

"Yes!" Asia shouted, embracing me. I couldn't even finish. Girl was excited for real.

"I'd love to." Asia added.

I returned the embrace and kissed Asia's hand. Now, we'll all be at the dance. Desirae and Makena were looking forward to it.
