A High School Love Story[Discontinued]

Chapter Two

* * *

I entered the lunchroom and scoped out my friends. They were off in the middle right side of the lunchroom.

"Hey Cassandra, over here" Grace called out to me. I swiftly moved towards the table and sat down.

"So what's going on with you and Asher?" Natasha questioned.

"What do you mean? There isn't anything going on between us."

"Please, we saw you two in class together, you kept blushing at everything he said. So tell us what happened."

" well technically nothing happened, we just exchanged phone numbers and he's coming over to my house tomorrow." I said the the last part really quickly.

"Do you mean to say that thee Asher Moretti is coming over to your house tomorrow!" Jonathan exclaimed

"Yes, what's the big deal. Lets just eat our lunch and forget about what happened in class." I said before digging into my slice of pizza. I wish the bell would just ring already.

After school, I walked home and went straight to my room. I decided to do my homework now to pass some time before dinner. When I had finished my homework and picked up the closest novel Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and started reading it. Buzz, Buzz I looked over at my phone to see a text message from an unknown Number

Hey cutie, still on for tomorrow. -A. Of course, Asher just had to text me and disrupt me from my only escape from reality.

I guess so, but we are just working on the project. -C

Aww don't be like that, if you want I can come over earlier. -A

Nope I'm good, come at four tomorrow after school. -C

Time for another day at school. Thank God for block scheduling, or else I would have to face Asher again. I went to my locker and grabbed my books. As I opened the locker, I discovered a little Hershey kiss placed atop my books. Hmm...I wonder how that got there. I grabbed my books and closed my locker before heading to find my group of friends.

"Hey Cassandra!" Jonathan shouted to me.

"Hey Jon, what's up guys?"

"Nothing much, but I think Daniel Withersons has a crush on me." Grace informed us giddily. Daniel Withersons is the captain of our schools rugby team and is quite attractive.
"Well that's interesting. Do you think he'll ask you on a date" I asked Grace
"Gosh, I hope so. He is just, ugh it's like he's not even human he's that perfect" Grace gushed.
Rinnngggg
"Well, see you guys at lunch." I said to them, as I started to go to my first class. I sat in math class, but my mind started to drift off. My mind went to Asher and how he is coming over to my house later today.

* * *

The bell just rang, signaling dismissal. I rush to my locker to grab my bag and any books that I need to bring home. As I'm packing my bag, I feel a presence next to me. Low and behold, Asher Moretti himself is leaned up against the neighboring locker.

"Hey cutie, excited to hang out with me later?" Asher says.

" Hey yourself and we are just working on the project."

" Come don't be such a buzzkill Cassandra." Asher complained

" I'm not a buzzkill but, I'll see you at four Asher. Bye."  I said as I retreated from my locker to leave school. Once I reached home, I ran up to my room and did my homework. After that it was a quarter to four. I decided to get some snacks ready for when Asher arrives. I put out some snack bowls, one with Doritos, the other with some popcorn. I placed them on the coffee table. Just then,  the doorbell rang. I checked myself out in the mirror before opening the door. Opening the door, I come face-to-face with Asher.

"Hey Asher, come in."

"Hey Cassandra" asher greets. There is this awkward aura that surrounds us. Is he nervous, if so why?

ASHER'S POV

I am actually going to Cassandra's house. It seems unreal. I know I sound so gay right now, but I have had a crush on her since the seventh grade. We used to be close but then puberty happened and I got popular. Lots of girls would just throw themselves at me, but Cassandra is the only girl I want and I will get her no matter what.

I walk up to her door at exactly four o'clock.When the door opens, there is Cassandra standing like a goddess. She might not know it but she is truly beautiful.

"Hey Asher, come in." she greets me, pulling me out of my thoughts..

"Hey Cassandra" I greeted her. I just hope I don't do something stupid that will repel her, but what if I do. Gosh i'm so nervous. I think she can sense my nervousness.

" So, um," Cassandra says while rubbing her hands on her jeans before she continued, " I put some snacks on the coffee table. You're welcomed to have some. I'm just gonna go get my laptop and then we can start." Cassandra informed me. I watched as she gracefully ran up the stairs and out of view.  I looked at the bowl of popcorn that was placed on the table and decided to have few. I glanced up at the fireplace that had a few pictures placed atop it. I got up and headed towards the fireplace to get a closer look at the photographs. One was of her parents, another was just of  her, the next is of she and her parents, but the last one surprised me. It was a photo of myself with my arm around Cassandra at our eighth graduation. 

" Good times, weren't they" Cassandra crept up behind me.

" They were great times. I've missed you, us, our friendship." I told her, It was the truth I missed all of the times that we spent together when we were younger. 

CASSANDRA'S POV

" They were great times. I've missed you, us, our friendship." Asher said. Did he mean that?  Asher came closer to me. I could feel his breathe against my lips. If either of us stepped even a smidgen of a centimeter, our lips would be touching. 

"You know I would be fine standing this close to you for the rest of my life, but kissing you would be better." asher commented.

" well what's stopping you." I replied. Asher moved closer till our lips were finally touching. Fireworks erupted inside of me. I thought that this kind of kiss was only found in books, apparently not. Our lips moved together in sync as our kiss went from soft to a deeper kiss that was full of need and want, while my arms wrapped around his neck and his arms around my waist. We finally pulled apart after what felt like hours. " wow!" I said breathlessly.

"wow. He said equally out of breath. " You know, Cassandra, I have had a crush on you for long time."

" really." Oh my gosh. Am I alive right now. Did I hear  him correctly?  

"yes you heard me correctly."

"Did I really say that out loud" I said. Asher chuckled and then took my hand in his interlocking our fingers. I looked up at him.

" Do you, um, w-wanna go out with m-me Friday night?" Asher struggled to get out.

" Yes, absolutely!" I said ecstatically and then gave him a quick peck on the lips.

"Good, good, now lets go work on that project." Asher said with a smile.
