Chapter 21

Afia P.O.V.

It had been two weeks since Ben and I had sex and since we made it official. I was dating Benjamin Waters, if you would have told me six months ago, that I would be dating him, I would have laughed in your face and said 'How is that possible he is too busy fucking his ex.' And if you would have told me eight months ago, I would have said, 'Yeah right, he barely notices me.' 

I stopped by my locker not caring if I was late to class or not. I opened my locker and took my wallet out and took out a dollar for a Sprite, I needed caffeine and even though it is not coffee it was just going to have to do, I have been more then tired lately, before I could manage it but now I could barely open my eyes.

"So, is it true?" Ryan voice said, he sounded pissed.

"What are you talking about?" I said stifling a yawn.

"About you and Ben, so tell me did you leave me for a guy who is still in love with his ex." He said clenching his fist.

"Everyone knew Ryan it is not that much of a secret." I said doing my best to focus on him.

"So was that your plan the whole time, to use me to make him jealous." He said clenching his jaw.

"I have never used you Ryan now if you would excuse me I have to get a drink and head to class we are pretty late." I said attempting to move around him but he held my arm.

"I am not done talking." He hissed.

"Yes, you are." I hissed back and snatched my arm from his grasp.

"This is not over." He said from behind me. I walked to the vending machines and pushed for Sprite and I grabbed my drink and headed to class.

"See there you go dozing off again." Ben said pointing out. I picked my head up from his shoulder and opened my eyes.

"Sorry I have just been so tired lately." I said yawning.

"Have you not been sleeping?" He said pushing one of my curls out of my face.

"Yes, but it doesn't feel like enough though." I said pushing away my tray.

"Yea-"

"Are we interrupting the lovebirds." Ashley grinned sitting her tray down Omar and Donte following her.

"You're so funny." I said fake laughing.

"I know." She stuck her tongue out.

"Hey Afia I just wanted to apologize-" Donte started but I cut him off,

"I forgot about that a long time ago." I said rubbing my eyes and smiling at him.

"So, are we cool?" He said holding out his fist.

"Yes, we are cool." I said bumping his fist with mine.

"Now moving on, Afia you look like were hit by a truck." Ashley said frowning.

"I am fine." I said yawning for the fifth time since I arrived at lunch.

"Says a liar." She laughed.

"Why don't you eat something." Ben said pushing the tray closer to me.

I stared at the tray and looked at him and said, "I guess so."

I took a bite of the pizza and swallowed and looked at Ben.

"Happy?" I said looking at him.

"Very." He said kissing my temple.
