Ashelyonna's Pov
Walking along the school corridors, my mind was miles away, and I wasn't thinking straight.
It was just a kiss—nothing special.
I tried to convince myself...
I need to talk to Jessica.
Are you crazy?!
The voice in my head fought back.
She's my best friend. She'll understand.
I reasoned with myself.
I said no, or maybe not right now.
This time, I decided to listen and wait.
It was lunchtime, and I was bored, hungry, and to be honest, I wanted some attention.
What? You really think after what happened a few days ago I wouldn't want more?
Well, yeah, I do.
I headed to the canteen to get my food. As I looked around, I spotted Jessica already in line. Walking over to her, she noticed me and turned her attention to me.
"What do you want?" she asked as I handed her my money.
"Fries, yogurt, and water," I shrugged. She gave me a look and shook her head.
As she got the food, I went to find an empty table for us to talk and eat as usual.
.
."I can't believe graduation is in five months," Jessica muffled as she shoved two sticks of fries into her mouth.
"Better believe it, Jess," I said, stretching over to her plate and snagging some of her vegetables.
"Do you know how many memories we've made here?" she said dramatically.
"Puh-lease, you know what my favorite memory of this place is going to be," I said with a straight face.
Jessica shook her head, waiting for me to elaborate.
Leaning in closer, I looked her dead in the eyes and replied, "Leaving it."
Jessica immediately burst into laughter.
Chuckling at my own joke, I nearly choked on my fries when I saw Stefan walk in and look directly at me.
"Are you okay, Ash?" Jessica asked, noticing the sudden change in my mood.
"Umm, it's nothing," I lied, trying to keep my composure.
I watched as he walked over to us, and I quickly dug into my yogurt.
"Ashelyonna, are you forgetting you had something to do during the lunch period?" He had a stern expression, but I sensed he was hiding something.
"Umm, no sir," I replied.
"I told you to come by my department at lunch so we could discuss something," he continued.
"Oh shit, I totally forgot," I said, grabbing my things and shooting up from the table.
When it finally registered, I knew what he was talking about, but I wasn't sure if he was serious.
He rolled his eyes and walked off, and I hurried to follow him.
"Sorry, Jess," I said, giving her an apologetic look and shrugging.
"Umm, excuse me, Mr. Tate, I was wondering if you could help me with my Literature work. You see, I'm trying to be more of a writer, you know?" Chloe addressed Mr. Tate as if he were just another guy in school she flirted with.
