The next day, Asher didn't ride the bus. I listen to my iPod, confused about where he was.

The bus pulls up to the school, and I wrap up my iPod, and walk to my locker. Once I grab my stuff, I go to Math class early cuz I don't have anyone to talk to.

I slowly make my way in the room, and see Dante, Asher's shirt collar in his hand, and Kayto looking pale against the wall by the smart board.

"Who the hell do you think you are?!?!" Dante yells through his gritted teeth, clenching his fist behind his back. Asher puts his hands up, also turning pale.

"Bro, I'm really sorry, I swear I'm sorry!" Asher yells back.

"Fuck. Off." Dante whisper yells, letting go of his collar. "Maya. Take care of your goddamned boyfriend." He turns to me, and Asher just seems to notice me and smiles at me.

"Maya!" He runs up to me and tries to hug me. I put my hands up and push him back.

"What the fuck happened??" I ask, more to Kayto and Dante than Asher, pushing my way around him.

"Your lover boy made a move on Kayto." Dante answers, holding a still quiet Kayto.

"What?" I feel my face go pale ad I snap my head to Asher who was looking worried again.

"No, no! Now, Maya, let's alllll just talk this out." He stutters. But all I see is red. Then I feel my open palm meeting his cheek and the resounding sound of my slap. I smirk and run to Kayto, asking what happened. She glares at Asher, who is still holding his face across the room.

"He was going to...to...." She trails off and a few tears fall. That was all I needed. I hug her quickly and get her a tissue before making my way back to Asher.

"How could you." I whisper.

"Maya, I...-"

"HOW COULD YOU?!?" I yell in his face.

"Maya, I swear I wasn't really going to force her, I love youuuu not Kayto, I swear!" He grabs my hands and I shake them off.

"My best friend. You were going to- to.... You piece of shit!" A ruler goes flying and hits him in the stomach. "Get out."

"No, please, Maya..."

"Get. Out."I heard a new kind of hatred in my tone as Asher nods and stalks out the door. I glance at the clock. The teacher will be here soon.

"Maya, I'm so sorry, I..." Kayto starts, looking at me with tear streaked eyes.

"No, this was not your fault. No. It wasn't. I swear. It's all his." I hug her and we get ready for class, as now the teacher is here and the students will be here soon.

'Today is going to be a looong day.' I think to myself.
