"Heyyy calm down lover boy, I'll tell you what I know." Ashton replied still smiling.
Romeo let go of his collar and sat back impatiently waiting for him to spill whatever he knew. "She is at the hospital." Ashton stated, calmly. "What happened? What did you do to her!?" He yelled grabbing his collars again. Ashton pushed his hands away angrily. "Stop this nonsense bro. If you cared about her why didn't you check on her before you left school yesterday!?" Ashton yelled. At this point, students were already gathered around them. "If it weren't for me she would have almost died yesterday!" Romeo felt a pang of guilt inside of him, he knew Ashton was right and didn't want to argue with him any longer. He glared at him and picked up his bag before stomping out. Ashton sighed and smoothened"Snap out of it bro." Romeo said, grumpily standing behind him and pointing at Dream who was looking through the glass wall. Ashton swivelled around to look at him, raising his eyebrows. What was he talking about? "She is mine." He seethed and Ashton glared at him. "What do you mean she is yours?" He asked. "You'll find —" he tried to say. "What are y'all doing there!? Let's order something, I'm hungry!" Dream whined, interrupting him. "Oh yeah go ahead we would join you soon," Ashton replied with a faux smile on his face. Dream nodded and skipped away. "Be very careful, don't try to fall for her. Stick to your babes." Romeo smirked, patting Ashton's shoulder. Ashton glared at him as anger surged through him. Why the hell was he trying to provoke him? He would
He patted her hair as he silently made a promise to himself. He was going to protect her from today. * * * Samantha watched Dream and Ashton with a smile on her face and tears stinging her eyes. She had been watching them since Dream started crying. When she saw him hug her when she broke into tears, the way he held her made her feel at peace a little bit. He has finally decided to accept her offer. She wiped her face and made to walk to where they were sitting but she changed her mind. She wanted to leave them to have some time together. She turned to leave but she collided with what seemed like a wall, but it wasn't. It was a a muscled chest covered with a white T shirt. Who was that?
Dream's cheeks burnt red as she glanced at the jacket she was wearing feeling really embarrassed. Why must she always disgrace herself? "I—" he stalked her frame making her to stop talking and take a step backwards. "You should keep it. It suits you well." He smirked, arranging the jacket properly. Dream's hand gripped her books tightly as she stared at him bewildered. Many thoughts were running through her mind. Why the hell was he doing this? What was he trying to do? Did he know that he was causing troubles for her? "Its really Ashton's jacket!" One of the students exclaimed, bringing out her phone. "Are you kidding me!? Do you know if he is just joking around?" Another student countered. "Oh please just shut it! Can't you see he wore it yesterday?" "Jeez! Zara needs to see this!"
"Dream do you like him?" he resounded, his pitch going higher. Why was he sounding like he was angry? Dream couldn't understand what the problem was. Why was he suddenly getting angry and asking such questions? "I really don't understand what you're talking about!" It was her turn to raise her voice. "What part of "do you like him" do you not understand!? stop acting dumb Dream!" He half yelled, genuflecting with his hands. Dream scoffed and looked away before standing up. "I really didn't expect you'll do something like this Romeo." she muttered and walked away. She walked slowly, expecting Romeo to call her back but he never did, making her anger intensify. "What the hell!" she groaned kicking the trashcan close to her. Everyone was just too annoying. Ashton angrily walked back to
She slammed the door of her locker shut and arranged the books in her arms properly before lowering her head, as she always does. "Yes that's her, she is so shameless," She heard one of the female students tell another. "What did she do this time? Seems like I'm always lost when drama is happening in this school," The male student replied and she adjusted her glasses on the bridge of her nose, they were always talking bad about her. "Thats true, did you know that she still had the guts to flirt with Zara, of the NASTIES' crush!" "Eish! That's so shameless!", exclaimed the male student. She cringed and walked briskly from were they stood. She lived like a "known ghost" in the school, people talked about her but avoids her like some plague. Just as she was about to take the flight of stairs that led to the library, the bell rang signifying the start of c
"Hey let me help you," She heard someone volunteered. Dream raised her head, looking at the mirror. The image of the junior student who had brought in the cart of strawberry was reflected on it. "Uhh—Who are you?," She asked. She was scared, many thoughts were running through her mind. "My name is Erica," The girl introduced herself and walked towards Dream. As Erica drew nearer to Dream, she took a step back till her back hit the strong brick wall. Erica couldn't help but chuckle on how scared she was, they must have really been tormenting the poor girl. "Don't be scared senior, no one sent me I just want to help," explained Erica. Dream sighed and gave her the small handkerchief and Erica started wiping her skirt. "Senior Dre—," "It's Dream, just Dream," corrected Dream.
Dream smiled, she was in a garden giggling happily as the butterflies danced around her. She couldn't remember the last time she was this happy and smiling this broad. She picked a flower and pushed it into her hair, she inhaled it's fragrance and smiled again. "Dream! Dream baby!" She heard her mother called out. The sharp pain she felt in her neck as she stirred, made her realise that her happiness was a dream. She sighed and raised her head, realising that she had slept of on the steering wheel, no wonder her neck hurts so bad. "Dream! Are you sleeping!?" Her mother asked, knocking on the window. Dream sucked in a deep breath before glancing at the time in her car. She wanted to know if she really needed to get down from the car, it was 5:30am. "Time to prepare for school," She muttered and opened the car.
"Why are you running?" she heard a girly but masculine voice asked and she turned to see who it was. He was sitting on the bench, her favorite spot precisely, his head was up high glued to to the beautiful and colourful butterflies dancing around the flowers. His fairly lengthy blonde hair was styled perfectly covering his forehead, his hands were deeper into the pockets of his trousers, the bench was not long enough to contain his tall but lean body. "Who are you?" She questioned taken aback by his presence. 'No one, rather too many people don't know this place but how come did this stranger find here?' she thought, observing him. "Hmm who am I? I really don't know," He said, nonchalantly not even darting his eyes away from the butterflies he was watching. "How did you find this place?" She asked again, not minding
"Dream do you like him?" he resounded, his pitch going higher. Why was he sounding like he was angry? Dream couldn't understand what the problem was. Why was he suddenly getting angry and asking such questions? "I really don't understand what you're talking about!" It was her turn to raise her voice.

Dream cringed hearing her mother's voice. How the hell was she going to get rid of the both of them? * * * Samantha got to her daughter's bed and reached out to her, inspecting her body and asking her numerous questions. "Why are you at the hospital? What happened to you? Why are you holding your head? Why is there paint on your beautiful hair and sweet body?" She paused, remembering she had seen a guy's figure when she entered. She raised her head and glanced at him before asking a cringey last question. "Who is he?" Dream scoffed, her mother was overreacting but she didn't want to act rude in front of a stranger. Well not necessarily rude but she didn't want to disgra
"Here!" Ashton waved at Zeke to pass him the ball. Zeke did and Ashton hit the ball on the ground, bouncing it while running swiftly towards the opponent's basket. "Yes!" Ashton ran to their side of the court and jumped, punching the air. That was his own way jubilating for victory. His team members joined him in jubilating. It was just a friendly match-pratice thing but they took it seriously. They didn't want to loose to grade 11, they will become an object of mockery among younger students. "Good job Baxter." The coach patted his shoulder before handing him a bottle of water. Ashton opened the cap of the bottle and chugged down half of It's content. He raised the bottle to drink from it but a sound which seemed like someone sobbing stopped him. 'Why was that person crying?' he thought, cleaning his body, re
"Why is this place boring!?" Someone asked sitting on the last chair on the table and everyone turned to look at him in shock. Oh no!... Dream panicked as she watched him sit down close to her. She was now in between Romeo and Ashton with Sean glaring at her from across the table. Dream sighed and face palmed herself, what the hell is going on in her life?. She sucked in a deep breath and opened another pack of juice, sipping slowly from it. Romeo and Sean's eyes were also glued to their food, as they kept scooping little amounts of their mouth and chewing slowly. "Okay!" Romeo hit his hand on the table, so loud that the aftermath made the students look at their table. "Oops." Dream muttered, feeling eyes boring holes into her skin. "Wow classic." One of the students close to their t
"He is back," She heard a voice mumble behind her, she knew it's owner but she wanted to see the shy boy. "Who?" She questioned. "Ashton, Ashton Baxter," he muttered, his voice quivering as memories of Ashton bullying him played in his head. Dream looked up at him and saw fear visible in his eyes which was covered by his glasses. Was the damage that bad?. "Sean let's go get lemonade from the vending machine, you'll be okay." She smiled at him and he nodded. She led him to where the vending machine was standing just very close to exit door of the hallway. "I have few coins with me," She told him, putting her hands into her huge sweater and bringing out five coins. She made to grab the pad but Sean halted her, "I've really love this game since I was y
