Ashanti's singing as I sit down at the lunch table. I send her a weird look, which I then share with Adonis.
She stops, staring at me unblinkingly. "Is there a problem?"
"Why are you serenading us with that painful nonsense?"
She recoils back dramatically, "How dare you! It's a masterpiece."
I roll my eyes but can't fight the smile igniting my face, I turn to the Walkers. "In Year 8, Ashanti tried to tell us that she signed up for and got into the auditions of this singing competition on TV. So we watched every episode waiting for her to be on just for her to admit that she hadn't passed the first stage."
"Well technically I wasn't lying." Ashanti huffs, "I did go on it."
"And you didn't get through." I deadpan, "Not surprising really, you sounded worse than you do n-"
"Pig. Tramp." Due to my discussion with Ashanti, I hadn't noticed Julian come over until he spoke. He nods to both me and Adonis, leering as he stops by the table. "Babysitting issues? I noticed an absence in one of your little friends."
"Fuck off, Parks." Morgan snaps, moving to stand up but Ashanti puts her hand over his and he stays sat.
"There's something weird about that Wildgust kid. I don't like the way he looks at you." Julian directs his words at me, "Nevermind what he's been saying about you. Disrespect seems to know no bounds."
"Leave it, Julian."
"Can't say I didn't warn you about that scum, ay Blackwood?" He smirks, rubbing his hand down my arm for emphasis.
I froze, tensing as he touches me. I know what he's talking about though. All through our relationship, he hated my friendship with Logan. Said he wasn't normal, wasn't good enough for me.
I never believed him or listened; I still don't believe him now.
"Not the first time someone I care about started to switch up, is it?" I look him dead in the eye. His stare flickers.
"He needs to back off you, kid's obsessed." Julian's grip on my arm tightens. I think it's going to bruise. "He needs to realise that you're not his."
Truth be told, Julian, I was never yours either.
"I got this, boo." Ashanti whispers before narrowing her eyes at my ex. "What a fucking mirale! Wow. What a true icon. Being spineless hasn't hindered your ability to stand up straight at all, has it? Legendary behaviour that, Parks."
