Mine Then, Mine Now

Asher ate a piece of pizza, he wore a pink shirt, black Adidas pants and balenciaga's.

Yes, the ones that look like socks.

"Sup." He said with a mouthful of pizza.
I looked at Monse, she shrugged as if to say; I didn't invite him.

"Who invited you?" I asked.
"Nobody, I texted you a few minutes ago, you didn't reply." He said.

I checked my phone, he was right.

Asher☆: hey wanna go get ice cream?

What is up with this kid and ice cream?
"Well...Caleb is down stairs." I said.

"I came here to see you, not caleb." He said with a small grin planted on his face.

Monse raised an eyebrow at both of us, I gave her the:I'll explain later, look.

To add on to the stress building up inside me, Gabriella returned.

When she saw Asher her eyes brightened, in the cruel and cold way.

"Asher!" She exclaimed and tried to wrap her arms around him, he gently pushed her away.

"Hey, Gabe, uh I mean Gabriella." He stammered, Gabe was one of Asher's friends.

Monse snickered and I couldn't help but slightly laugh, Gabriella shot me a glare, a smirk suddenly planted on her face.

"Asher, have you met Jackie's boyfriend?" She asked.

And it was at this moment I knew... I fucked up.

"B-Boyfriend!?" He stuttered with his eyebrows furrowed.

Gabriella nodded, the color fully drained from my face.

"Oh! What a coincidence you came the same day her boyfriend decided to visit!" She exclaimed in a high pitch voice.

He furrowed his eyebrows and looked at me curiously.

Monse was confused and I felt so anxious, what was I gonna do?

If Asher confronted Jay...Jay was clueless though, but Asher knew we had a bet.

"Can I talk to Jackie...alone?" Asher asked them.

Gabriella stopped smiling, "okay...?"
Monse shrugged and left the kitchen, she grabbed Gabriella by the shirt and pulled her with her.

I looked at Asher, His blue eyes were dark again, "Boyfriend? You said you would give me a chance." He said.

"I had to lie to her, I don't actually have a boyfriend, and I never promised you a chance, I said you could try to get me to fall for you, but impossible." I said.

He ran his hand through his messy brown hair, "Nothing's impossible, bub."

"If you say so," I shrugged, "Look, Jay is here, don't cause a scene..okay?"

He nodded, "Okay."
I walked towards the living room, Monse was there, Gabriella no where to be seen.

To my surprise, Jay and Asher were 'bros'.

They gave each other that bro handshake hug thing and sat down.

Jay began to talk about tryouts, He was scared to not make it to the team, Asher reassured him he would make it.

Me and Monse talked about how she should cut her hair, everything was fine until Gabriella came back.

She sat next to Asher, almost on his lap, Asher scooted over.
