Not a toy but love to play

Chapter 7

"Bye Elija. See you tonight." I said as I waved Elija goodbye. I hopped into my car and drove to school. I wasn't ready for this day but I was going to make the best out of it.

I was wearing some black high waisted shorts, a see through polka dot blouse and some black ankle strap heels. My hair was in a messy bun with a hair wrap around and some loose strands on the front.

I wasn't going to drop my siblings off looking like this so I quickly put on a long black coat before hopping in the car. It's been years since I've dressed this revealing. I'm not that comfortable with short clothes, I often have bruises all over my body and I didn't want any attention. So looking like this was unusual for me. But I made a bet and I wasn't going to be difficult.

I arrived at school and I felt loads of stares. "Hey princess. That's cheating you know." I turned around and saw Ashton running at me. He was wearing some sneakers, boys shorts that stopped above his knee and a very tight shirt.

"Well I don't think your outfit is right either. So guess that makes us even." I said before turning around. "Oh, you're talking about the revealing part right? Let's fix that quickly." he said. I turned around and before I could ask what he meant he was pulling off his shirt.

I scoffed, "Predictable." I muttered. "Come on princess, now it's your turn. Just show us your outfit." he called. I noticed there was a small crowd forming. He tried grabbing my hand, but my fingers were still broken which led to the coat slipping out of my grip.

"Damn, didn't know she's this hot."

"If I knew..."

"She's not even that pretty."

"Yeah, what are you talking about."

"She's hot and you know it."

I looked down at my feet as I tried to ignore the comments. I felt gentle fingers pull my chin up. I slowly opened my eyes and looked in his eyes. They were beautiful, his pink lips swollen and I could count his freckles.

"Don't worry. You look beautiful." he told me quietly. I swallowed and looked away. "Yeah, whatever." I said before picking up my coat and leaving for class.

I looked at my reflection and saw a small blush on my cheeks. "Stupid hormones." I murmured as I entered the classroom. I had biology which meant class with Ashton. I turned my head as he walked in. I tried focussing on something else but when I felt him sit down next to me I turned around.

He winked at me as the teacher entered the classroom. "Good morning class. Today we're going to examine frogs. The person next to you will be your partner for this project. I groaned, of course it had to be him.

The teacher started handing out dead frogs for us to examine. "You can begin." she said holding her hands up.

Turns out Ash and I make a pretty good team. We finished our project in 20 minutes and were playing twenty questions to kill some time.

"Favorite food?" I asked, twirling my pencil between my fingers.

"Easy, pizza. You?" he asked with a grin.

"Hmmm, one hundred procent soup." I answered with a smile.

"Soup?" he asked in disbelief. "What? It's delicious." I said truthfully.

"Okay. Do you have any siblings?" he asked me. My face dropped, "Uhmm, no. You?" I asked. "Yup, a sister. She's eleven." He answered with a small smile. Before he could continue the bell rang. We stood up and took our bags.

"See you later?" he asked.

"Yeah, sure." I said before walking to my next class.
