A Dream, A Destiny

Love triangle

No POV

The next day in school at precisely 12:30pm as the clock was ticking away.

We now set over in the busy canteen where students were walking around with trays in hand, looking for a place to sit while most were in a long qued line, waiting to get their own lunch. Then sat down with their group of friends around table, placing the tray on it and start to eat.

The place was crowded with full of students, even some teachers sitting at the back row with company around the table.

In the middle row, there were three main students having a conversation between each other...

Ash POV

"I'm sorry, I don't know what you're saying."

I looked up from my barely touched lunch, locking eyes with a vindictive looking Misty sitting on the opposite side.

"What?" I asked. I had just finished explaining the abbreviated version of my altercation with my dad and Misty was showing no sympathy.

She smirked and slowly lowered her head to the side, resting it on Calem's free shoulder as he stuffed a handful of pretzels in his mouth, chomping it down. "We're all being forced to go to this stupid gala, what makes you think you're special enough not to go?"

The fact that I had a swelling in my brain that was currently making me see two Misty's? But I couldn't tell her that. She already thought I was being a baby by complaining about going to the gala. If she knew about the aneurysm, she'd probably label me a freak.

"Dude. I'm gonna have to wear horns at some point during that night," Calem said in a glum tone, spraying crumbs on the table as he continues talking. "You're lucky the most you'll have to deal with is a stupid tux."

I grinned at them.

"I wish I could see my sweetie in horns," Misty cooed, kissing Calem's cheek.

"Visit him at midnight in suite 666," I joked, pushing spaghetti around in my plate with a sharp fork in my hand. "You'll be amazed."

Calem flipped me off. "Prick," he grinned. He turned to Misty and nuzzled her neck making her let out a laugh. "The only reason he knows about that is coz he's my assistant."

We all burst out laughing. It felt pretty good, just kicking back and not worrying about anything for the moment. Perfect way to spend Monday lunch.

In a cloud of strong perfume, Miette sat next to me, snaking an arm around my waist as she looked up at me. "What's going on?" she asked curiously.

Making a face at me, Misty replied, "Baby Ash here's crying coz he's being forced to go to the gala and he needs to find a date."

Rolling her eyes, Miette nodded. "Me too." She rubbed her head on my free shoulder, her blue fluffed short hair felt good against my z-mark cheek. "You should just take me."

I looked down at her as a grin crawled up on my tanned face. "Last time I checked, you had a boyfriend," I said.

"Last time I checked, you didn't care," Miette retorted.

Calem snorted with laughter. "Oh, snap!"

Tossing her head, Miette said, "I don't think he would mind if you took me."

I chuckled. "Yeah, he wouldn't mind coz he'd kill me!"

Being part of a love triangle was something I wasn't up for.
