Not a toy but love to play

Chapter 5

It was the Monday after the party and I was driving the kids to school and daycare. "Wow good job girls!" I said as they finished counting to thirty without making any mistakes. "I'm so proud of you two." I said as I parked the car. I picked Elija up and handed the twins their backpacks.

We walked into school and got loads of stares as usual, from parents who think I'm the mother. I got used to it eventually.

"Good morning girls!" Julia said with a big smile on her face. "Good morning mrs. Julia." the twins said in unison. They turned to me and embraced me in a hug. "I'll see you guys later. Behave and have fun. Bye Julia." I said as I walked out.

"Let's get you to daycare, handsome." I said to Elija as I put him down in his baby seat. After I dropped Elija off at daycare I drove to school. I was fifteen minutes early which was a miracle in my case. I walked into class which was completely empty and sat down at the window seat.

After five minutes another person walked in and sat down beside me. When I looked up I was greeted with a grinning Ashton. "Hey princess." he winked at me. I rolled my eyes and focused on the view outside. "If you think I'm going to swoon for you like half of the school, you're wrong I'm not like the other girls. That's where you made your first mistake." I simply explained.

"Meh, I like a good challenge." he simply stated before looking back at me. I scoffed. "You don't get it do you? Well, honey get this through that thick skull of yours; I'm not a toy. I'm not some yo-yo you push away and drag back whenever you want." I said angrily.

"Oh, I know. But I'm not here to play, I'm here to win." he said with a smirk. I eyed him up and down with a nasty look on my face before getting up and leaving. I still had 7 minutes before class started so I decided to walk around and look for my friends.

I walked around for a few minutes but I didn't find anyone. I figured they were in class already. Class, shit. I had four more minutes before class started. I rushed through the halls but got pushed into a janitor's closet before I could enter the classroom.

I looked up and saw this random guy grinning at me, licking his lips. He lowered his head and just when I was about to punch him he got ripped away. I didn't see his face but his voice was enough to be certain about my suspicions.

Ashton Carter was beating the guy up who tried making out with me. What in the world...

"I was perfectly fine. I had it under control." I said to Ashton as we walked to class. "A simple thank you would be nice." he said rolling his eyes. "Thank you." I said sarcastically. The bell rang just as we entered the classroom. I went to sit next to Maddox instead of going back to the window seat.

Class had been going on for about 15 minutes when someone threw a wad of paper at me. I pretended I hadn't seen it but after the third time I picked up the wad.

I opened it as subtly as possible.

"Sorry :'( " was written on it in sloppy handwriting.

I turned around and saw Ashton looking at me with a pleading face. I just ignored it and focused back on the teacher.

About a minute later another wad landed on my desk. I turned around but saw Ashton pretending he was focussing on the teacher. I opened the wad; "I really mean it." I crumbled it back up and threw it in the trash can.

I thought he was finished throwing wad's at me but then another one landed on my desk. I was getting really irritated, so I just ripped it open and looked at what it said.

"What can I do to make it up to you?" now this was interesting. I thought a good minute before scribbling a response and throwing it back at him.

I grinned as his eyes scanned the paper. He looked up and nodded, I shook my head, he won't do it, I thought. Well boy was I wrong.
