It all started with a sticky note// Ashannie

Asher's P.O.V.

"Okay, kids, you gotta get to bed after this round." I said as Avi and London we're still playing foozball down in our basement.

"Why, it's only midnight 30. Mom won't be home for at least another hour." Avi shrugged as he scored another point.

Midnight 30?

"Yeah, but I told her I'd get you two into bed in a reasonable time. And that passed like 2 to 3 hours ago." I said and put my hands on my waist.

"You sound like mom." London said rolling her eyes.

"Whatever, just hurry up. I don't wanna get in trouble because of being a bad babysitter to you two little kids." I said changing my position to have my arms crossed.

"Who are you calling little kids?" Avi asked glaring up at me.

"Both of you, now up stairs or I'll tell mom." I commanded.

"Yeah yeah, don't let the cat out of the bag." London muttered as her and Avi stomped upstairs.

What does the expression mean? Don't let the cat out of the bag? What cat and why is it in a bag in the first place. I went up stairs still having that question spinning through my head.

I grabbed my phone from my desk and clicked over Dork's contact and pressed my phone to my ear.

"What?" I heard her mumble and I smiled a little.

"I've got a question for you." I said and walked around my room.

"Okay, get on with it." She said and she sounded pretty tired.

"So what does the expression 'don't let the cat out of the bag' mean?" I asked and I could tell that it annoyed her a little

"Is the seriously the most important question you need to ask at this time?" She asked and ended with a yawn.

"Yes, and what do you mean 'at this time'? We've talked later then now?" I wondered because it was true.

"Yeah, but I was playing uno until just a few minutes ago and do you know how stressful that game is when you're playing against an 11 year old genius." She said making me smirk.

Who plays uno nowadays?

"Okay, you got some problems." I said chuckling.

"And you're just now figuring that out? I thought you were smarter then that." She said making me smile a little more.

She thinks I'm smart?

"Really? You did?" I asked kinda happily.

"Nope, just wanted to make you feel better about yourself but you just had to go and ruin it." She mumbled and I couldn't help but chuckle.

God, what is this chick doing to me?

"Do you really think I need to feel better about myself?" I asked all confident and shit.

"With that attitude I'm gonna said no." She giggled.

"That's correct, so you are smart." I smiled

"Yes, but are you is the real question." She wondered.

"I think so." I said.

"Then why ask questions about expressions that you don't really need to wonder about?" Dork asked.

"Because where is that cat and the bag. And why is it in a bag?" I asked starting to get annoyed.

"Why the fuck is that a question you need an answer to anyway?" She asked and sounded pretty tired.

"Because, I have a lot of curiosity. Which also brings me to wondering who you are." I said.

"Mm-hmm." She said.

"So you ever gonna let me see you?" I asked because I really wanna meet her because she is someone totally different then other girls who've walked to me.

She doesn't give a shit about being her self around me which I like a lot.

"I don't know about that." She said and sounded a bit nervous.

"Come on, how about tomorrow after lunch at the end of the science hallway?" I pressed.

"You can't be serious." She groaned.

"What's the harm?" I questioned

"I guess nothing." She mumbled.

I was so happy I just said, "Great!" And immediately hung up.

"Fuck yes!" I yelled smiling and jumped up and down a few times.

I immediately called Carson and when he answered he mumbled, "Dude, why the fuck are you calling me in the middle of the night?"

"She said yes man, she said fucking yes." I said excitedly.

"Who said what?" He mumbled clearly still half asleep.

"Dork! She agreed to meet me tomorrow after lunch." I said unable to stop my smile or even control my smile in the smallest way.

"Bro, that's great. Seriously. I'm happy for you." Carson said and even though he was pretty out of it I know that he was being sincere.

Carson and Will both know how much this girl means to me even though I haven't met her yet. Sure, I some times as like an asshole or like a player but still.

She talks to me like a real person and not like Asher Angel, popular guy, captain of the basketball team.

Granted that she doesn't know who I am and it could change if she does know who I am but still. I can't get her voice out of my head.

Or her witty come backs.

Or her laugh.

God, I would do anything to be able to hear her laugh all day.

And I'd do even more to see her beautiful face and perfect smile.

No matter what she looks like I know that I will find her attractive just from her personality and how she talks to me over the past few weeks.

Aww, after a month Asher finally realized how amazing Annie is without even knowing what she looks like. And hers being really sweet about it.

That's true love if you asked me, but no one did but I answered.

Love you all💜🦔🌻
