Friends At First Sight √

5.

Picture of Xavier and Alia above.

Alessia POV

I am angry. Actually it is an understatement. I am furious. Last night Asher texted me.  A part of me is fangirling inside and the other is angry on the person who gave my number to him.

Flashback

I get ready to go to bed. I plug in my mobile phone to the charger and was about to hit the pillow. When suddenly my phone bings. I unlock my phone to see an unknown number.

Unknown number : Hey, sweet cheeks hope you  dream about me 😘

Me: What the hell?  Who is this?

Unknown number : oh I'm hurt princess, you did not recognize me .Well I'm Prince Charming of your dreams,  one and only Asher.

WTF..  Asher... Texting... Me..
I didn't know what to text back.  My mind was a jumbled mess. I couldn't think straight. But I somehow managed to reply back.

Me: where did you get my  number from ??

Asher: I have my ways cupcake😉

Ugh.  What's with him and giving me nick names. . I decide not to reply him back. And try to go to sleep.  Keyword: try. All I could think was about Asher. Finally after struggling for a while I fell asleep.

PRESENT

I have cornered most of the students who I have a suspicion on to ask if they have given my number to anyone or not. Well they just shook their head no in fear.

Then it strikes me that the traitor is Alia herself.  I mean she is Asher's sister so he can get the number without a single effort. Just then I see Alia coming towards her locker where currently I am standing waiting for her. As she sees me her eyes widen in fear and she begins to turn around to walk in the opposite direction but I run after her.

"Hey Alia. Wait. "
" Good morning Alessia. Didn't see you there.  " she says in an extra sweet voice. I narrow my eyes at her " Why the hell did you give my number to your brother? "

Before she could reply. There was a sudden silence in the hallway and the crowd parts it's way. Last time it was  when Asher and Alia made their grand entry.

Just then 3 extremely good looking guys walk in through the hall doors. Damn.  What's with Likesville High getting new hot students !! As they pass us I see the guy in the center, one with tattoos winking  towards Alia's direction to which Alia scrowls. As they turn right from the the end of the hallway the students get back to doing whatever the hell they were doing.( eye roll)

"Don't tell me you know them"  I say to Alia giving her a suspicious look to which she just groans and pulls me by my arm towards our first class homeroom promising she will explain everything including that number thing.

"Class,  so these are your new classmates Xavier Lacuna,  Christian Jones , and Derek Stone. " If looks would kill we would be dead by now. Their faces showed like they wanted to be anywhere but here.

"You guys can take your seats " as we see them pass by us we straightened. Alia kept her gaze down pretending to be reading her maths textbook. Wait what?  Maths.  Seriously Alia.  That gave her away because the tattooted guy I mean Xavier was staring at her with an amused look on his face. As we are sitting in the second last row they sit exactly behind us in the last row benches.

Finally Alia told me about the little incident yesterday with Asher. I couldn't help but laugh at that.  Poor Alia. I though. Finally after what felt like hours the class ends and we part our ways to go to our respective classes.

I reach the class and see that the teacher has not yet arrived so I take my usual seat besides the window and scroll through my instagram.  I hear the sound of chair or chairs being pulled. I look to my left to see..... Asher? I give him a curious look. I look behind us to see Noah flirting with some girl. I just roll my eyes.

I focus my attention back to Asher who is watching me intently.  Feeling
self conscious I look down and start doodling in my notebook as if it is the most interesting thing in the world. I didn't realise I was blushing until "you look really cute blushing " this made me blush harder , if my face wasn't a tomato already now it is. I look into his eyes to see an unknown emotion swirl through them . We stayed  there looking at each other for some time " even I want to play this staring game. I'm bored here" we look behind to see Noah pouting looking at us.  Asher just glares at him and I couldn't help but chuckle a little.  Just then the teacher entered the room and start teaching.

After few more classes it was lunch time. " This is seriously the only time I like at school" Noah says setting his food tray down and sitting. Asher comes and sits besides me. So it's me,  Scarlett, Olivia,  Mia, Alia,  Asher,   Noah,  Armaan and Raymond sitting around our table eating and chatting.

I could feel Asher's eyes on me. Suddenly the whole cafeteria goes dead silent and enters the three musketeers- Xavier,  Derek and Christian.  Everyone in the cafeteria were watching them as they walk towards the food counter. 

While passing us Xavier looked at our table but this time he didn't see Alia but his eyes were on Asher.  I turned my head to see Asher too looking at him or more like glaring at him. They were looking at each other as if they want to kill each other in the most painful way possible . Maybe they know each other?  But Alia said she has never seen this ' hot stuff ' her words not mine, before. Then how could Asher know him.

I didn't realised I was zoned out until Noah takes one of my chicken nugget and pops it into his mouth.  I look at him in shock. "What the hell?  That was mine. "  "Technically yes but actually no,  since it was destinated to go into my stomach" he says patting his stomach.  Oh he is gonna pay for this.

The rest of the lunch we just eat,  chat and laugh. Day by day I'm growing to like these guys more.

I reach home and decide to do some homework since my volleyball practices starts from tomorrow so I won't be having much time. I change into an oversized T-shirt which reaches my mid thigh and tight my hair in a bun.

I completed my homework and was about to make my way towards the kitchen when the doorbell rang. Who could be so late at this hour?

I grab a baseball bat from behind the door...... Just in case,   what? you never know. I open the door and was about to swing the bat on whoever was there but stopped to see... Asher?

" what  are you doing here, so late ?" I ask.  " You actually left your notebook in the class" " you should have returned it at school" I say stating the matter of fact. ," Umm... I forgot? " saying it more like questioning. I take the book from his hand , thanking him. " So..... Goodnight"he says expectantly. Suddenly out of nowhere I ask " Would you like to come in" . I face palm myself mentally.  Now he will think I'm a creepy despo. "Sure,  I would love to" he says giving me a genuine smile. Oh my gosh, his smile can actually light up a room. I opened the door a little more so he can pass through. I close the door and place the baseball where it belongs. I see him looking around the house. " You stay alone? "
" Nope,  I stay with my dad and my younger brother , they are currently in India for a few months for dad's business tour. Would you like something to eat? "
"Nope" he says staring at me.

I settle on the adjacent couch from him. We sit there for sometime without anyone of us speaking. It wasn't a awkward silence but was a comfortable one.  After sometime Asher leaves. I go to bed with a smile still on my face.
