Chapter Forty-Two
Alex's POV
At lunch today, the air was different, it was a little tense between Cole and Chris but it's been like that for a while, that wasn't the issue, the problem was Asher and Emma sitting with us, well Asher sat her and Emma followed, after their kiss on Monday, there've been rumors that they're dating and that he came back for her, but he came back for me... what the hell was that? I sounded... jealous.
"Are you good?" Cole asked as he sat next to me.
"I'm fine." I replied with a smile.
He pulled me close and kissed me on the cheek before he began to eat, Chris scowled at him the entire time he was acting lovey-dovey with me.
"What's wrong babe?" Zoe asked as she played with his hair.
"Nothing," he replied, still not taking his eyes off of Cole, "I just remembered a talk I had with someone is all."
Cole's eyes immediately darted towards him and it instantly turned into a staredown, I wonder what

Alex's POV It was one of those clubs that had dimlly lit neon lights, the music was loud and booming, at first it made my ears hurt but as the night progressed, all I wanted to do was dance. I was afraid that they would see that our IDs were fake but they barely even looked at it before serving us our drinks. Zoe went on the dance floor after just a tiny sip, she said that the music was calling to her, I followed and danced along with her. I felt awkward at first but with the flashing neon lights, and beats that made me want to move my body some type of way, it wasn't long before I actually began to enjoy myself. We danced with a bunch of girls, grinding, twerking, and some even kissing on each other, it began to feel crowded and suffocating. We made my way out of the crowd to get another drink. The dj changed the song and Zoe suddenly perked up, "Oh. My. God. This is my fucking jam." she downed her drink and darted back to the dance floor. I was rushing to g

Alex's POVAfter that night, Asher began acting distant but in class, every time our eyes met I was reminded of his words, I was able to keep my mind off of him with Cole, like he invited me over today, putting past the fact that his room smells like Victoria's secret seduction perfume, nothing really seemed out of place, there weren't clothes on the floor that should be in the closet, the bed was perfectly made and... woah, why is he taking his shirt off?"Um... Cole?" he whipped around to look at me and I swear I could see his abs glistening, but I shook the thought from my head, we were here to study, right? "I thought you invited me to study for the test tomorrow?""Yeah, but come on Alex," he said and began taking his pants off, revealing a very impressing bulge, "even you had to have known that it was just to get you over, I thought that's why you followed me.""Don't get me wrong Cole but I just thought we were gonna study, like you told me." I sta

Asher's POVThis party sucks, I can't believe that Emma talked me into this."Come on Asher, at least look like you're enjoying this." she pouted, she looked like an angry squirrel every time she did that, "Or would you rather be here with Alex?" she asked with her arms crossed."What?" I question, taken aback by her sudden question."I know that you're in love with her," she rolled her eyes, "only a blind person wouldn't be able to see the way you look at her.""How do I look at her?" I asked, confused."Ugh," she groaned, "you look at her like the male love interest looks at the female love interest in telenovelas." she said, emphasizing the word 'telenovelas' and pronouncing it expertly, "What? You've never heard of telenovelas, pinche gringo.""I just- you speak spanish?" I was even more confused now.She slapped her hand to her forehead, "That's what my last name's for?" her eyes scanned my face and she noted my visible pe

Asher's POV It's merely minutes before we have to go to the dance, Zoe and Chris came over a few hours ago, to get dressed, well I gave Chris the okay because why not? but they're a package deal and now Zoe's pacing up and down my room like she owns the damn place, might as well give her the deed. "I can't believe she didn't tell me, why didn't she tell me? Why the hell did I have to find out from him and fucking minutes before we go to the dance? I'm gonna kill him," she said as she paced up and down my room in her navy blue dress, "I'm gonna take a baseball bat to his knees, he'll regret ever hurting her." I was starting to get annoyed, her pacing was making me anxious. I grabbed her by her shoulders and stopped her, "What the hell are you taking about? Who hurt who?" "And most especially," Chris walked in with a plate full of cupcakes?! Cupcakes of all things, "Who's kneecaps are we destroying with a baseball?" I furrowed my brows, "Why's t

Beg her to come to the dance with me and then break up with her after?" I yelled.A hand came on the seat next to mine and pulled it out, "Sorry, is this seat taken?" I looked up to see that smug bastard's face, and standing next to him... Alex?!He pulled out the other seat next to Zoe for Alex then sat next to me. Amanda didn't like it but Zoe looked freaking ecsatic, "Asher, where's your jacket?" she asked.Alex chuckled and he smiled like it was some kind of inside joke between them. I couldn'

Alex's POV It's been a week since the prom, after Asher took me home that night, he fixed the door and didn't leave till the next day, said he didn't want me to be alone. Since then we'd been having nightly rendezvous, sometimes I'd get ambiguous messages with just a place and sometimes he'd come pick me up, I also figured out that the number that texted me wanting to talk (refer to chapter forty-five) was his. He later told me that he had found out about Cole cheating and wanted to tell me but I never got back to him, and literally thirty minutes later, I found out. I felt my eyelids getting heavier and heavier as I tried to blink back my fatigue, suddenly, my phone vibrated on the cupboard next to my bed and the tiredness disappeared. I swiped my phone off the table and my entire body filled with excitement as the screen lit up with Asher's name, it vibrated again and my smile faded. What does he want? Cole: I don't know if you're awake right now but I just

I told him that I'd be his girlfriend but he acted like he didn't say anything and now things were weird between us, I mean we still talk and everything but we haven't gone on the date he promised and after that day, the nightly visits stopped. My phone vibrated on the couch and for once, I was actually reluctant to check who it was, I grabbed my phone and turned it on, all I saw was a notification from one of the games saying that my energy had been restored and the message from Cole that I still hadn't answered in the past two weeks. I sighed and tapped on the game notification, it was a merge game and it helped me pass the time until my phone dinged and Asher's name popped up at the top of the screen. Asher: will you go on a date with me? right now. I stared at the message for what felt like hours before final

After I'd gotten home last night I'd gotten a text from a random number which I'd later found out to be Amy, the girl on the beach. We talked for a while and she was really cool, we had the same interests, horror movies, dislike for the entire romance genre, so I decided to invite her to the party. Amy: yeah I'd love to come.
