Chapter 2

Ash/annie pov

So, when we got to the cafeteria, those dramatic girls started making a fuss again. They acted like they'd never seen a handsome guy before. Ugh, those leech-like guys were flirting with them, too. It's so stressful, jeez.

We immediately looked for a place to sit, and the two couples went to order. We found an empty spot that Cyrus and his group usually hang out at, so I got an idea.

"Ash, don't sit there. What if we could be in trouble? It's their spot, right?" Brandon asked, worried. Well, it's true, but it's not literally their spot. They just claim it.

"Trust me, it'll be fun," I said with a smirk. I knew he understood what I meant.

So, even though they were hesitant, they sat down. I could feel eyes on us. They were probably wondering why we chose to sit there. This table is in the center, so it really attracts attention.

"What do you guys want?" Blue asked us.

"Anything for me." Jomar and Eddy answered together, then Blue turned to me, as if asking, "What about you?"

"Just a burger for me, with hot sauce." I said. He left to get our food.

It didn't take long for them to come back. While we were eating, the others were talking about different things. I didn't listen and just focused on my food.

Then, suddenly, I was startled by the loud noise in the cafeteria. Damn, it's so loud, it hurts my ears. It's even louder than when those leeches came in earlier. I want to shut their mouths, those dramatic girls. They think they're going to get any attention from those guys. Tsss. And there they are, those arrogant lice, with their king.

He took off his shades, thinking he looked hot. Tsk!

"Oh my god, Warren is so hot."

"Fafa Lim, please be mine."

"Baby Warren, kiss me please."

"Hubbyyyy Daniel."

"Kyaaaahhhhhh Cyrus be mine."

Damn. Are the girls here even sane? They're practically stripping right here. They think those lice are so handsome. You're all just animals!

My liver is about to explode. Calm down, one more scream and I'll make you all pay. When the girls finally stopped screaming, I was surprised when their group approached our table. The leader of the lice said, with a cold stare and a sharp look at us,

"That's our table. Leave!" He looked at me with such hatred, as if I was to blame for something. I'd like to shove your lice-infested face into the ground sometimes.

"We were here first, so we're staying." I said, not looking at him, just talking and eating while leaning back in my chair.

"Well, I want this seat. What are you going to do about it?" He said rudely. I want to punch him so he'll learn. My friends seemed reluctant to confront him.

"Why did she answer Papa Cy?"

"Well, we don't want to, what are you going to do about it?" I mocked him, and he was clearly annoyed by what I did.

"You'll see." He flipped our table. What does he want? A fight or a brawl? Just say it, and I'll give it to him. My friends stood up. Lisa clung to Blue's arm, and Trisha hid behind Brandon. The two leeches clenched their fists. I signaled them to back off while I stayed seated. I could hear whispers about how arrogant I was. Tsss, it's inborn, lol.

"What, you're not going to get up?" One of his friends said. You're so tough, huh? You're just a sidekick. You're too full of yourself. He thinks I don't recognize him. Hmm, you want a fight, huh? Fine, let's do this.

"What, miss insensitive, you're not going to get up?" Another louse said. Whatever. Go ahead and freeze. My mom didn't give birth to me so I could be ordered around by lice like you, okay.

"Ash, let's just move to another table." Lisa said to me. She even tried to convince Brandon and the others to pull me away, but they didn't want to budge.

"I.will.not.get.up!" I said firmly, sitting up straight. Eddy tried to pull me, but I wouldn't move. I hate it when I'm eating, talking, or being disturbed.

"Oh, you don't want to." He kicked my chair, and it flew back because I was still pretending to be sitting on it. But since my legs were getting numb, I stood up and faced him.

I glared at him with such intensity that it felt like I was killing him with my stare.

"What I hate most is people who don't know basic manners," I said, then turned and punched him in the face, surprising everyone.

He fell, and because of the force of my punch, he passed out. I could hear whispers from everyone around. The guy I punched was popular.

"Oh, what are you all staring at? Carry your boss, or I'll put you to sleep too." I shouted at them, then walked away. Brandon and the others followed me, laughing as they walked.

"Damn, Tombs, your punch is still strong, huh?" Jomar said laughing, giving Eddy a high five. They're such idiots, always laughing.

"That was a killer punch, Ash. Cyrus is out cold." Blue commented, laughing hysterically.

"You're going to get in trouble with your mom, Ashhy," Lisa said, threatening me. She's right, I'm ready for my statement if Mom finds out what happened.

"Well, he started it. What was I supposed to do?" I said bored, walking quickly. I went home. I'm not in the mood for this crap. We've been at odds since elementary school, that louse.

Well, things have changed. There are things that happen that you don't expect. Maybe this is the result of the unpleasant things that happened in the past. If I could go back in time, I wouldn't let all of this happen again.

I don't want to get hurt by love that I don't know if it's meant for me.

Sometimes I wish I never met the person who wouldn't last in my life. Because when you get used to something, and then it suddenly disappears or breaks, it hurts so much.
