“Are we going” she asks me, looking very excited about the idea of us being invited to a party,“Are we going” she asks me, looking very excited about the idea of us being invited to a party,“Of course not” I deadpan.“Why?” she asks me, grabbing my hands and pouting trying to act cute.“No matter how you much you try to act cute, I am still not going, I have a lot of assignments to do, and books to read” I tell her, shaking her hands off me.“Maybe that is why you don’t even know how to socialize, and maybe that is why you don’t have friends” she tells me, looking at another direction.“Don’t talk like you have thousands of friends” I sass her.“I do have” she tells me, glaring at me like what I said hurt her feelings.“I am your only friend, so don’t try to feed me that crap” I tell her, shaking my head at her antics.“It doesn’t matter, and again don’t change the subject, you are going to that party” she tells me, trying to use a commanding tone with me.Not with that her tiny voi
Going through my lunch time routine with Katya, since our lunch has always been and will always be at the same time, we are suddenly disrupted with one of the ‘beauties’ saying she has an announcement to make.“Hey guys, Damian’s brother is inviting us to his party” Minnie Moe announces, which has everyone’s attention with the announcement.“But you are not invited” she says, pointing at me.I continue eating my lunch completely ignoring what she said. This triggers her, ‘cause she hates being ignored.“You hear me” she barks.“Uhn hn” I murmur.“She thinks she is all that” Katya whispers to me.Since she has a loud voice and she can hardly whisper silently, her statement catches their attention causing one of the jocks with the bit*hes to scoff at us.“And what did you just say bit*h” she shrieks out.“None of you goddamn business” I say, banging me hand on the tableI really want to cause trouble with these bit*hes today, they’ve been getting on my nerves all this while, not that I
After hours of me studying and completely forgetting about the party and Katya not bringing it up, she suddenly tells me she really has a one of a type favour to do for me.“Do you know the comic book you told me you will really like, like really really will like to read?” she suddenly asks me“Yeah” I mumble, trying to finish up my Statistics assignment.“I have it” she states.And now she knows she has my attention.“You are lying” I tell her, looking at her disbelievingly, because if she has it, why won’t she have said anything ‘til now.“Nope I’m not” she says, looking very smug.“And before you say anything, I knew it would come in handy one day, that’s why I didn’t mention it” she says, looking at me like she is very proud of herself for not telling me about it earlier.“So will you give me?” I ask her, excited with the fact that I will be able to read the book.I’ve been searching for the book, since it is an old comic, a lot of comic shops and bookshops don’t have it, sadly.“
Oliver’s POVWhen Dec told me about a party by a senior, I wanted to decline, but not with the puppy looks he was giving me, I could not.It is not like I hate parties, I go to a lot, but not just feeling this one, not like I have really been in mood for a lot of things.And coming to parties mean being alone unless someone is bold enough to come to me.Being a well known bully chases people from you, not like I really had a lot of friends before, but no one wants to get close ‘cause no one wants to do or say something and be afraid of whether they will face your wrath or not.Not like I have anybody’s fucking time.Sipping my first glass of alcohol since the party started, I notice the girl who bumped into me on her first day, Ashley I think, talking to Damian.Damian and I are not really friends, but we greet each other when we see, he is only somehow close with Dec.Seeing her looking disinterested in whatever Damian is saying reminds me the first time I saw her.She was at the sch
Ashley’s POVCarrying Katya back home, she is so drunk that she keeps babbling nonsense.“I-rrrr-po---nne” she slurs out“What are you saying” I say, trying to pick out her words“Ph----onnee” she slurs again, giggling.“You forgot your phone” I ask her, trying to be sure I hear her perfectly well.“Yeshhhhh” she slurs.“Let’s go back to get it” I say, walking back towards the house to get her phone.I know asking her to tell me where her phone is will be a futile effort, it would be better to go there first and ask around or check out.Entering back into the house after dropping Katya on the patio’s chair, I walk into a bit of commotion at the door.Trying to know what the hell is going on, I discover that they are drunk females trying to get to Oliver.He looks very disgruntled with them hovering over him.“Hello bit*hes back off” I ordered, putting my arms around him and giving them one of my coldest glare.Seeing the look I am giving them, they all went away after about some secon
I leave Katya’s house without telling her how she was almost harassed at the party.She is a sensitive girl and I wouldn’t want to do anything that might set her off or traumatized her, and again she doesn’t seem to remember.And people will always say, what you don’t know won’t hurt you.On getting home, I greet my dad at the kitchen after which I immediately rush to my room to read the comic book I worked for.And seriously it is worth every pain I had to go through yesterday for it.My dad didn’t ask where I was coming from when he saw me, which confirms it that he knows about the party.Or maybe he is part of the set up who knows, even if he is, I am still happy I am able to get the comic book I have been searching for.Starting the book, I lost track of time.“Ash, won’t you have dinner” my dad asks me, knocking on my door.“Dinner?” I ask, confused.Checking the time on my phone I see that it is already some minutes after six.I am not actually surprised with the fact that I hav
Waking up from the bed, I look through my phone to check if I have any message, I see that Katya has texted me of going to school with her sister, because of something that happened.Well, guess I will be going to school alone today.Going through my routine, I leave the house after mumbling a greeting to my Dad.We’ve not been on the best term since Saturday, and all about him trying to know the reason Cassy and I are not on the best term.I only picked up the sandwich and money he left on the table, if there is an agreement between two people, I don’t think it is ideal to involve a third party.In this case, it is money and food.Walking alone to school, with my thought, I suddenly feel like someone is looking at me, or more like glaring, only for me to look back and see Oliver and his friends.Only nodding as a greeting to Duncan and ignoring the rest of them, I continue my walk.Which I think angered Declan.“Seems like you and I are invisible since it is only Dee that was seen an
“I heard it is a girl” another person says.I look up to see the person, only to see that it is Mira or is it the other one.“You see, I told you” Katya whispers top me, with her look of ‘I told you so’.“How can someone kill her classmate?” another jock says“And she got away with” Minnie Moe adds.I don’t know how someone will suddenly wake up in the morning to spread such nonsense.“Who knows maybe it’s the new girl” someone says.Like get a life, I have been here for more than a month.I think that means I’m not the person they are talking about.“Ash, are you sure you don’t know about the person we are talking about” Minnie Moe suddenly asks me, smirking at me.I continue eating my food ignoring her.“Her silence means yes” a jock suddenly says, chuckling.How ridiculous can you possibly be?“Maybe you’ve not heard that silence is the best answer for a fool also” Katya barks at him.Everyone starts hooing at what she said, which of course it is true.“Hey bitch I was not talking
Ashley's POV"Are you seriously holding my hand?" I ask Oliver calmly. He immediately lets go like a hot potato and apologizes. "Why do you hate me?" he asks, curious."Why do you want to behave like a typical high school bully?" I retort."You see, kiddo, there's more to things than behaving like a cringe-y kid, like a cringe-y movie you want to sleep through," he says, trying to be profound."And you talk like an old lady," he scoffs."And you wonder why I don't want to have anything to do with you," I answer dully. Conversing with someone who makes my IQ duller is both dampening and stressful.Done with the conversation, I pull Katya along with me, who was outside the room listening in."You just like messing with fire," Katya says, still in awe of the interaction."Does it look like I'm messing with fire?" I ask her, shrugging."Does it not look like it to you?" she asks, looking at me in disbelief."Look," she starts, holding my arm to stop me from walking. "I love that you're b
“What the fuck, you should have given me a fucking notice before you yell like that” she retorts“Well you should have given us a little bit of a warning before you dropped that bomb on us” I snap back at her.“Weren’t you the one that asked about what happened?” she rhetorically question.“Were you guys talking about me?” someone suddenly ask.Looking only to discover that it is of course the one and only Declan, the guy is too self-absorbed for Christ’s sake.“And of course there is someone that thinks everything is about him” I whisper in a loud tone for him to hear.“Hey midget, watch your tone with me” he warns me, and of course I can’t go down without a fight.“Hey, vacuous, whose thinking is much lower than that of a chicken” I retort back.“What did you just say to me?” he asks angrily.“Although I do not even expect you to know the meaning of vacuous, you are to dumb to know that, right?” I reply him“Now he is not only an idiot, but also deaf, what can cure this” I reply him
Getting home, I immediately rush to my bathroom to take a very long much needed shower. I’m not the type to stay long in the showers, but being in a stranger’s house, for that number of hours make me itchy most times, especially now.Getting out of the shower feeling quite refreshed, I get into a very comfortable clothing which is basically grey in color. This makes me feel like I live in a fucking grey area. Fuck shit!Bringing out my AP Biology textbook, I start reading before I am interrupted by a slam on the front door.“I’m home” my Dad yells out.Which makes me think of different reasons why he should fucking yell, like the house is not that big, and with that fucking slam of the door, then I should be able to know that he is back, not minding the fact that I locked the door with the key and apart from me, he is the only person that has the key to the front door.“Hey, I said I’m home” my dad says, suddenly opening my door.“Okay” I mumble.“Young lady, that is no fucking way to
Oliver’s POV “She seems to be by the main door already” Declan states. “I can see that, where is Duncan?” I ask him, since he seems to be nowhere in sight. “He is coming, he went back to get something from the library” he tells me “Oh, okay” “Hope you didn’t have to wait for so long” I ask Ash, on getting to her side. “Nope” “But you will still going to wait more, we have to wait for my brother” Declan tells her. Looking at her side view as she waits silently, her pose attracts more attention than someone who throws herself around to get validation. She seems to have softened my heart, without much conversation with her, she has affected me. Maybe it is because of our first encounter, how arrogant she spoke and behaved, maybe that was what drew me in. Or maybe it was because of what I heard from Damien when we talked at the party of how she answered him. Or what I’ve heard about her, which of course is not much apart from the rumors of her old school, which no one had been
Oliver’s POVWhen I heard the teacher call her name as part of the group, I was actually surprised, but again, she said, she might not even pair us with our friends.Although I am a little bit happy she is in our group and also disappointed that we won’t really get close even though we are in the same group.After appreciating me for what I did in the cafeteria, which was unexpected by the way, I returned into scrolling through Twitter, to become close to her is really difficult.With her I-don’t-give-a-fuck look aura she carries.A bubble appears on my phone to indicate I have received a message.Opening it to see it was Dec who messaged.‘What do you think she is doing?’ it says, I look at Dec, he shrugs, then look at Ashley to point out how she is looking around.‘No idea’ I message back.‘Maybe you should ask her, since you seem so interested in her affairs’ I send to him.‘Fuck you’ he sends with the middle finger emoticon.“Ash, should we start the project today or another day?”
Ashley’s POV Walking back to my class together with Katya and Jun, ‘cause coincidentally we all have the same subject together. “Was there any home work given to us last class” Katya asks me, taking the seat beside mine, and Jun bringing a seat to seat beside her. “Nope” I tell her. “I didn’t have the time to check if the Art teacher gave us assignment or not, I was busy with house chores yesterday” she complains. Knowing her, it might have been her washing the dishes. She is too lazy to do most of her homework, and most times does it in school. Some minutes later, Oliver and his friends come in, but of course not without Declan glaring at me before being pushed forward by his brother. A fucking child, like who the fuck gets angry all the time. Immediately after the end of lunch, the teacher comes in. “I know I didn’t give you assignment the last time we had class, therefore I am giving you two assignments to be submitted in the next class” she says, bringing out her books.
Ashley’s POVGetting out of my last class before lunch, I get to my locker successfully without bumping into anyone.“Hey”“Hey”Both Katya and Jun greets me.Seeing both of them together causes me look at Katya then at Jun with a frown.“I met her here, and it seems we have most of our classes together” Jun quickly explains, seeing my look.Nodding my head, I open my locker to drop my notes and take some needed ones with me, surprisingly, Katya seems to be in a quiet mood now, but I’m sure it won’t last.After taking the books needed, I close my locker, then look at Katya, with a look of ‘are you okay’ which she replies with a shrug.I don’t know what seems to be the problem, considering the fact that her ‘hottie’ is beside her, and she is doing nothing.Going inside the cafeteria, everything has gone back to normal, or so I thought.Since the three dummies and their partners are back to their seat, everyone will think everything has gone to rest.But few minutes later, as I am on th
Leaving the house early in the morning the next day, I am able to avoid bumping into my father. With how he is doing things now, we might soon have a strained relationship, first on Saturday, now yesterday. I do not wish for that. And for me to successfully avoid my father, that means he is also avoiding me. Getting outside I plug my earphones to my phone, scrolling through my music to pick the one that will fit the mood I am in at the moment. I hear someone calling me. “Neighbour, neighbour” the person shouts. Turning back, I see the person getting out of the house that has just been moved into. Confused as to why he would be calling me, I squint my eyes which I’m sure clearly shows the confusion I am feeling now. “Good morning, my mom came to yours yesterday” he says at once, pointing his thumb towards his house. For someone who is Asian he is sure good looking, from what I’ve heard, most are good looking though. “Hey my name is Kim Jun” Looking at him with indifference, I
“I heard it is a girl” another person says.I look up to see the person, only to see that it is Mira or is it the other one.“You see, I told you” Katya whispers top me, with her look of ‘I told you so’.“How can someone kill her classmate?” another jock says“And she got away with” Minnie Moe adds.I don’t know how someone will suddenly wake up in the morning to spread such nonsense.“Who knows maybe it’s the new girl” someone says.Like get a life, I have been here for more than a month.I think that means I’m not the person they are talking about.“Ash, are you sure you don’t know about the person we are talking about” Minnie Moe suddenly asks me, smirking at me.I continue eating my food ignoring her.“Her silence means yes” a jock suddenly says, chuckling.How ridiculous can you possibly be?“Maybe you’ve not heard that silence is the best answer for a fool also” Katya barks at him.Everyone starts hooing at what she said, which of course it is true.“Hey bitch I was not talking
