chapter four.
[4] "WHAT ABOUT IT?"

    It was the last period and thankfully it was free. I'd usually go to the library but Asher had a free period too, —I knew he had football practice so I decided to sit by the bleachers.

Stop judging me.
I know you are.

I walked upto the bleachers as my eyes wandered around the field, surprisingly, no one was here yet.

I made myself comfortable and in just a few minutes I found myself writing away, my surroundings disappearing before I heard a faint voice call out to me.

I slapped my notebook shut, my head snapping up to see a sweaty Asher. His hair was slightly wet because of it.

"What're you doing here?" He asked as I bit my lip nervously. "Isn't the library usually your place?" He laughed slightly sitting down next to me, chugging down a bottle of water.

Am I supposed to take offence to that??

I glanced around to see a bunch of guys on the field. My eyes didn't fail to spot Johnny, he was laughing at something along with a couple of his friends around him.

A small part of his dirty blonde hair fell onto his face. I watched as he ran his hands through it before his eyes caught mine. He waved, giving me a smug grin to which I looked away, heat rushing to my cheeks.

I looked back at him for split second again before I reluctantly broke my stare, How the hell did I miss practice? What time is it??

I sighed mentally. Pro tip to future self, don't start writing sappy shit while on the bleachers.

I looked over, realising that Asher was still here. "I think I should be asking you what're your doing here talking to me,"

He shrugged, "I can't talk to a friend?" He looked at me, giving a smile. "And I thought..if you want I could help you with you know..school," He spoke, trying his best to not come off rude.

Wait wait

Did I really just need to act dumb to get his attention??

I looked away then back at him, letting out a short breath, "I would like that." I answered with a smile.

"Okay, coo-"

"But," I started sort of cutting him off, "Johnny's already tutoring me.." I trailed off.

Look, as much as I'd love to bail on Johnny. I'm not as much of a jerk as he is. If I act the same way he did, what's the difference between him and I?

"Oh." He let out and then nodded. "Okay um,
If you need anything you can ask me, alright?"

I nodded. This is the most I've talked to him the entire past two years of high school but of course, it just had to be interrupted by the one and only, Jenna.

"Ash mind grabbing my bag from my locker?" She smiled wide. As much as I hate her, I have to admit that she did genuinely like Asher and well, she has him.

Good for her I guess.

He glanced between the both of us, "Uh, yeah, yeah sure." He stood up, giving me a faint smile.
