Don't Let Me Go

Two Secrets

Asa's POV: 

It has been a week since Emily has talked to me. I can't visit her, I can't talk to her, I can't go one day without thinking about her.

It was a Wednesday morning. It feels like the week is going by so slow. I walked into my first class, Maths, in hope that I'd see Emily there sitting at her desk smiling at me, but she wasn't. I walked in looking dissapointed. I went over to my desk, laid all my stuff down on the table and then sat down. My teacher walked in with a huge smile on his face and said "Aren't you guys excited that it is Wednesday?" he said sarcastically. Wednesday is pop quiz day. The whole grade takes these hour pop quizzes for Maths, which I don't consider quizzes. Our teacher passed out all the papers and looked at me straight in the eye and said "Good luck". He said it in a way that the whole class could hear, but was really threatening me. He knows that I am in the smartest in the class, so this quiz must be hard. I looked down at my paper and my thoughts and mind went crazy. What is wrong with Emily?, Why isn't she talking to me? Is she mad? About 15 minutes pass and I only answered 10 questions out of the 120 questions on the quiz. I let out a loud sigh, ran my fingers througt my hair, and then got back to the quiz. 

Maths was finally over. I got up and ran out the door and headed to my next class, science. I also hated science. Emily told me once about her friend Makenzie, she is in my science. She sits a couple desks next to me. Every once in a while, I would look over and she would be staring at me. At first I thought it was creepy and now, i'm kind of used to it. She is pretty but doesn't compare to Emily. 

We were learning astronomy, my worst subject. We had to do an in-school project about the solar system and you have to do it with one other person. Right when the teacher announced that we needed partners, everyone immediately got out of there seats and hunted for another person. I got up and was about to head over to my friend Chase, but he was already with Michael, so guess who I had to get paired up with? Makenzie. I liked the idea because it gives me a chance to meet Emily's best friend. 

Makenzie's POV:

Asa is walking over to me!! "Hey Makenzie, do you want to be partners?" Asa said. Asa Butterfield wants to be MY partner? Keep it together Kenzie. "Sure" I said in a happy tone. We sat next to each other and started talking about the project and then I broke the school related conversation. "Asa, I know who you really are," I said. Asa looked at me like I had three heads, but he's good at acting like he doesn't know what I am talking about. "What do you mean?" He asked, "Asa, dont play dumb, you are an actor" I said in a wisper voice. Asa's eyes grew big. "Does Emily know?" Asa asked. Should I lie and say that she does, to break them up or should I tell the truth? "No she doesn't know, she knows who you are, but she doesn't know that you are the person she knows." I said. "Huh?" Asa asked. "Emily and I used to be your biggest asanators. We saw you in The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and instantly became your fans. Since you haven't done anything in a while, its hard to reconize you." Asa looked down at the floor. " Didn't you just finish filming Ender's Game? You are going to have to tell her sometime." Asa looked angry. "Lets worry about the project," he said. I didn't mean to upset him, I just needed him to know that I know about him and still accept him the way he is.

( I know that Enders Game already came out, again, just trying to change things up )

"If you are not finished with your projects, take them home, and work on them there. Meet up with your partner and get it done by tomorrow. Have a nice day," my teacher said. Oh trust me, I will. 

Asa's POV:

After Makenzie said she knew about me, I didn't even want to go to her house, but I had no choice. After school was over, I pulled the number she wrote on a piece of paper before class ended and called her. She informed me where her house was, I realized it was only 5 minutes away, so I started walking. Walking alone sucks. I rememeber when me and Em walked to Starbucks or even to the park with Loxie. While I was walking I look down at my phone in hopes to see a text from Emily, I didn't. So I kept walking.
