Broken Together

Chapter 5

"Oh wow!" Asher said with so much sarcasm in his voice that is was cringy, as he grabbed at his heart whaling.

"Oh my gosh so brutal!!" He added on as he wiped a fake tear.

I sighed as I just started at this hopeless fool.

Why is that he showed so much interest in me. I mean I am not that special. Although I did reject the dude and I probably was the first person to ever reject him honestly. That's probably what it is, to be honest.

"What do you want?" I said sighing knowing this is another one of his attempts to ask me out again. It wasn't gonna work though.

"What I want is..." He said trailing off looking at the floor before looking back up at me.

"What I want is you to go on a date with me."

Here we go again.

"No."

"But here's the thing sweetheart...I know something about you. Something....bad," He said smirking at me starting me dead hard in the eyes.

What could he possibly know that's bad.

I'm a good girl. (A/n: Good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught!! Sorry I had to do that and if you excuse me I am going to go listen to that song...)

"Would you like to tell me why you cheated on the math test?"

My eyes immediately widened out of shock.

"What do you mean?" I said trying to play it cool. (A/n: Baby I like the way the you be moving round the place and when your dancing in my face oh I just play it cool!! Sorry just saw them in concert, if you know that song/group. I love you)

Basically trying to pretend like I didn't hear what he just said.

"What I meant is miss goody two shoes over here cheated on the math test."

There was no point hiding it anymore.

"And...so what?"

"I could just you know....tell the teacher about all this."

"Oh my gosh!! Please no!" I yelled my eyes widened in shock.

I can't let him do this I think. If he does this I am done for. Not only will I get a zero on the test. My mom would kill. On top of the fact that this test counted a lot on my grade. Which meant if I got a zero on this test I was done for. I would never graduate and I would have to retake the entire grade just for math. Just all for this one test.

So you could say I was pretty desperate.

"What do you want?"

"A date."

"I told you already I am not going on a date with you."

"Then I guess I will just tell the teacher how you were cheating..."

"Ok! OK!!...I'll go on a date with you," I said giving into Asher.

"Finally," He said smirking before walking out of the janitor's closet.

Leaving me to think one thought.

I was literally just blackmailed.

***

"Could you believe the nerve!!" I said yelling.

"I mean hey at least you have a date with Asher," Charlotte said to me.

"Charlotte! To me, this is a bad thing ok!" I said getting frustrated.

"Well ok fine be like that..." Charlotte said sourly from the other side of the phone.

"You know what Charlotte I can't right now," I said hanging up not really caring what she had to say.

Although I would probably get an earful of it tomorrow.

Might as well get ready for bed I think as I look at the time

10:32 pm.

Yeah, I need to get to bed.

I quickly get everything together for the night. Like plugging up my computer to charge. Turning on my alarm. Also then finally turning on some music, because I don't know about you but I can't sleep in silence.

I finally lay down on my bed pulling up my covers and going to plug up my phone to charge when I saw a rather interesting notification on my screen.

Unknown:

Hey, this is Asher :) I was just gonna tell you are date is tomorrow at 7:30 pm.

Lala:

Wait how did you get my number?

Asher:

I have my ways...but that's not important.

Date tomorrow at 7:30 pm.

Lala:

That's sounds good.

Asher:

I wasn't asking.

Oh, my goodness gracious I think. Could this guy be any more of a jerk?

Well, at least tomorrow is a Friday...

Another day...another crazy day.

***

I was walking down the hallway of the school like any normal day.

Walking to my last period after getting the stuff from my locker that I needed from it when...

Asher literally came out of nowhere and flung his arm around my shoulders pulling me close to him causing my entire body to halt in its place. All I noticed where the many eyes on me and him and all I questioned was. Why?

I mean it's not like they haven't seen this before. Asher had been with millions of other girls before what made me any different.

"Ugh!" Asher let out of frustration with my unmoving self.

"Fine! If that's how you're gonna be."

Before I could really think of what was happening Asher leaned in close to my ear and whispered.

"Don't forget about tonight."

I could practically hear the smirk in his voice as he quickly pecked my ear and walked away leaving me behind.

To say I was shocked was an understatement. The many feelings and thoughts running through my head like crazy.

One thought was that I truly had forgotten about tonight. Are date.

And one of the feelings being that. That simple kiss on the ear...

I kinda liked it.

A/n: Anywho guys I truly hope you guys are liking this book because honestly, it is so much better than its original. Maybe one day I could show it to your guys so you can see how much it's improved. Honestly, I love Lala's character now because before she was so soft and I didn't like it. Now she is much tougher and harder to get. Whereas before she was so easy to get and like so naive. Plus back then I had no idea how to write romance and now I know how to do it more. Another thing is the chapters are way longer so that's good. Anyway, I will stop talking so you can go off and read...

From your least favorite author,
