A Deal With The Idol

Chapter XII

Lyra's P.O.V
Ash had sent me home after the whole fiasco that happened at his tree house. I glanced down at my phone, laughing at the picture of Ash and pressed the button save.

Holy shit, I don't know how many times I'm gonna laugh every time he calls me without his ridiculous face popping up on my screen.

I plugged the charger into my phone, then decided to lie down on my bed. Ash's face immediately came into my mind and I gulped, remembering the moments at the studio. The way how his hands held my waist, always leaving a burning sensation on the spot. Not that it was still effective now though.

 Before my mind could think anymore about today's moments,there was a knock on my door before,  Liam came into my room holding a tray of cookies and milk.

"You hungry lil sis?"

My eyes gleamed with excitement as I shot up and patted the seat beside me on my bed, gesturing for Liam to come in. He closed my door and settled the tray down on my nightstand while I quickly stole one cookie, popping into my mouth. He gave me a small glare but replaced it with a small smile.

"Why you're so happy for? It's weird." I looked at him weirdly, eating another cookie.

"Guess what?" He scooted closer to me, his eyes twinkling with excitement.

"Okay this is getting weird. You're not sick aren't you?" I was grossed out, slapping my hand on his forehead to check his temperature.

"Never mind that, I have something to tell you." He excitedly said, clutching my arm.

"You have STDs?" I raised my eyebrows, snickering.

"What the fuck Lyra? No!"

"Then?"

"I have a girlfriend."

The cookie in my hand dropped, and I widened my eyes.

"What?"

"I have a girlfriend." He admitted, waiting for my reaction.

"That's- THAT'S AMAZING!" I squealed, throwing my arms around him, as both of us fell back onto the bed.

"Oh my god! Who is she? What's her name? How did you guys meet?" I questioned him, clutching his arms.

"God slow down, I'll introduce you to her when she comes over for dinner sometime this week okay? And I'll answer all your questions." He added on the last part, after seeing me looking at him suspiciously.

"Deal. But I can't believe it! Your first girlfriend." I mocked him, smirking.

"Oh shut up. It's not like you have one now." He rolled his eyes, clearly annoyed.

"But you still love me anyways." I stuck my tongue at him, and he rolled his eyes again.

"Exactly." He ruffled my hair, smiling.

"I'm gonna get dinner ready now. You want anything?" He asked, getting up from the bed.

"Pasta." I grinned, knowing that it's his specialty.

"Pasta it is." He agreed, closing the door.

******************************************

You know what I hate about mornings? The fact you have to rush every time you're late for school all because you stayed up all night watching teen wolf.

I hurriedly wore my shoes, before heading out of the door.

"Stay safe monkey!" I heard Liam shouted from the kitchen but I was already out of the door by then. I glanced down to my watch, realizing that I only had 10 more minutes to get to school. I fasten my pace, sprinting down the road until a huge billboard caught my eye.

I stopped, my eyes widening as it traveled to the billboard where yesterday's photo in it. No way. No fucking way.

I was standing with Ash, his hand wrapped securely around my waist as the other cupped my cheek. My hands were placed onto his chest, my head tilted up just enough to meet his eyes. The both of us looked so different, that it even scared me that I could make a face like that. I looked so in love with Ash, and he looked so in love with me.

All of a sudden I snapped out of it, and returned back to reality, realizing I only had a few more minutes before the school gates closed.

I ran like hell, arriving at school in time before the bell rang. I hurriedly went in the school, finding my locker but a huge crowd of girls was already waiting for me there.

"There! There she is!" I heard someone shout, and the whole crowd turned to me, marching towards me like angry bulls.

I backed up, but realized I was at a dead end. The huge crowd of girls started surrounding me, questioning me and I never felt so suffocated in a crowd before.

"How? Is that really you with Ace?!" I heard a girl shouted over the crowd, but I didn't see her, not when I couldn't even see my own feet below me.

"Is that you?"

"How did you get a photoshoot with Ace?"

"Are you his girlfriend?"

There were so many questions, and all I wanted to do was to hide away in a hole, away from this mess. The smell of perfume, and makeup was making me nauseous.To top it all of there were so many girls, pushing me, suffocating me and I had trouble breathing when I heard someone shouted.

"Move guys! Coming through!"

I felt myself being pulled up, away from the crowd and before I could even register what was happening I was already in an empty hallway with Cole.

"Hey Lyra. You okay?" He came down to my level, gripping my shoulders.

I took deep breaths,nodding.

"Yea. Thanks for that."

"No prob."

There was a moment of silence, my heavy breathing disrupting the silence.

"So, a photoshoot with Ace? That's kinda cool." Cole smiled, raising an eyebrow.

"Oh that. I can explain-"

"Shh. It's fine. I'll keep it a secret."

"What?"

"You're a model aren't you? Or his girlfriend?" He concluded, but I stood there speechless.

"I'm neither-"

"It's fine, I get it. You can count on me." He winked, shutting me off completely.

"But-"

"Well the bell just rang, and I gotta go before Mr Clark kills me." He dragged his thumb across his neck, giving me a dead look.

"Wait-"

"Catch you later!" He shouted over his footsteps, leaving me in the empty corridor.

Great, my crush thinks I'm Ace's girlfriend now. And what does Ash thinks he's doing? Posting the picture so openly in the public? Does he not care if I'm gonna get killed by his crazy fan girls?

That freaking-

You know what, Ash Williams? Game. on.
