The Fat Girl and The Bet

Chapter 25

Ashlyn's pov:

"Why isn't it Chubbs?" fake shock mixed with his regular attitude rang through my ears making me close my locker.

"Oh, c'mon. Don't be like that." I heard a deep voice breath in my ear making me suck in a heavy breath. Some students gave me dirty looks, one included was Katie. Oh, shoot. Just my luck.

Why was Aspen so eager to talk to me all of a sudden, it's been almost a month, a month!

"Aspen," Katie sets a charming smirk against her cherry lips, her finger wrapped a strand of her hair around it, her eyes melted in pleasure at the look of him.

"Oh brother." I mutter under my breath as I stare at the floor, annoyed that Katie was being swooned by Aspen already. That a little pathetic, since she was just with Cameron a couple weeks ago.

"Uh, Chubbs." Aspen suddenly says sounding uneasy.

Couldn't he just leave me alone?

"What?" I snap, already feeling fed up with his presence. Aspen's friend went "OOOO!" making him roll his eyes and grab my wrist, pulling me up to his chest which made me gasp.

"Playing hard to get?" he chuckled like it was the most funniest thing in the right now.

"At least I'm not like her." I say and glance at Katie who was still twirling her hair and in dream land.

"Oo, feisty I see?" Aspen smirked, leaning closer to me, his nose nearly touching mine, but he had to look down because I was shorter then him.

"What's wrong Aspen? Can't take rejection?"

"Rejected? That doesn't happen to me. Im irresistable." He chuckled darkly, leaning in which made me lean back. I did not want a repeat of our last kiss at all.

"I guess I'll see you around." He lightly kissed my cheek and pulls away from me. "Just because I'm leaving doesn't mean I give up. Don't ever let that cross your mind Chubbs." He whispered darkly to me so no one else could hear him, then he turned around and strolled away with his group feeling right behind him.

I sigh deeply and turn around, quietly placing my head against my locker.

I just wished someone would realized my life is already a mess and they're making it worse.

Katie.

Aspen.

My parents.

Cameron...

----------

I fall into a deep sleep but only to be awoken with shouting,my eyes fluttered open.

"Well, it's not my fault!" A shout from downstairs and soon came a slam of a door, startling me.

I pulled off my blankets, slipping on my slippers as I quietly tip-toe through the dim hallway.

"I was being friendly!" My mother scoffed into the phone.

"Being friendly isn't winking at someone when you're married and it isn't your husband!" My dad screamed back through the phone. "You're bored of me aren't you?" My dad mumbled as I hear shuffling in the background. They probably went on a date or something and my dad was too pissed off to come home, again.

"I never said that.." she whispered, passing her hand over face. "Things aren't working out, Steven." My mother had tucked a strand of loose hair behind her ear. I shut my eyes tightly, trying to not let the tears escape. I quietly made my way further down the stairs, trying hard not to be seen by my mother as I hear the scene unfold.
