Chapter-5

You could break my heart in two
But when it heals, it beats for you
I know it's forward, but it's true
-Selena Gomez, Back to you

I look away from Asher to find him casually leaning against wall, with his stupid smirk playing on his lips and the same bright green-blue eyes that illuminate the other day on my steps in the moon light.

I hope he doesn't start bullying as well.

It's been frequent for years now. Every year when a new student came they starts to bully me with Asher and his friends.

But the only person I'm anxious of is Asher. Asher used to be my neighbor, because of some events occurred in past which can't seem to get over him, to get over us.

Someone's clutched my shoulder and snapped me from my thoughts.

I looked up to find him still leaning against the wall. When he saw me staring he quirk his eyebrow and tilt his head in amusement, I guess that how I am still daydreaming when I am basically getting physically abused.

He started strolling towards us and he casually flung his hand on Asher's shoulder.

"What's happening mate?" He asked with a heavy accent.

God damnit. The accent!!!

"She's someone special..................to me."

I glared at Asher with his hands still on my shoulder to look at his figure smiling at me. I look away from Asher to find him grimace at his comment.

I smiled in triumphant.

"Are you really smiling while we are plotting next move on you" Asher's best friend John smiling at me. I faked smiled at him and showed middle finger in his face.

I don't know what came into me today, but I'm pretty stunned of my behavior.

"So what's your name?" Asher asked.

"Noah, Noah Carter" he replied, still scowling I may add.

"Welcome to school buddy" he removed one hand away from my shoulder for a hand shake but Noah refused with a nod.

Once again I smiled in triumphant.

"So, Noah what do you think we should do with this situation"

Please no please no please no.

"Nothing leave her" he said frowning.

"What?"

He removed both of his hands away from my shoulder and let Noah hand dropped from his shoulder and turned to confront him.

"But what's the point of even bullying her"

Noah straighten his shoulders and face Asher with a scowl in his face.

He loves scowling.

"You don't know what she did in the past with me, with us"

I closed my eyes to prevent the tears pooling in my eyes. The past events images stuck in my head. I took a deep breath to calm myself.

"What did she even do in the past that makes you bully her all those years." Noah asked with a confusion portray on his face.

"She-"

Tringggg!!

I sighed, the bell saved me. I ducked from Asher's hands and the crowds surrounding us without anyone noticing me.

That was hard.

Closing the door of washroon behind me. I let the tears fall from my eyes.

I let the tears fall for him.

I let the tears fall for her.
