"Megan! Wait," I heard someone was calling my name, and I walked even faster because it was getting late and I need to walk going to the cafe where I worked part-time as a barista and sometimes as a cashier.And I almost screamed when I felt a strong hand captured my wrist and spun me around, and I was meet with the most compelling eyes of Ashton Pritzgold, the campus football prodigy, the handsome and hot quarterback of our school football team.I can feel my heart is racing, and I have been dreaming this day since I was in seventh grade. He has been my only crush, but it was only a secret because I am way out of his league, and only my best friend knew about it, and I felt so happy right now that, at last, he noticed me."How do you know my name?" I asked him, and I hate myself that I couldn't take away my eyes from his face, and his proximity is killing me. He smells so good, and I have to be honest that I have never been this close to a guy before, and this is so much for me becau
I couldn't believe the hot quarterback of our school will be drinking coffee inside the café that I am working at, and this is the first time that I have seen him here. I couldn't stop myself from being conscious because of how many times I caught him staring at me, and I am just glad that there are many customers at the moment, and I am busy preparing their order, or else I will spend my entire time blushing in front of him and his friend. And I hate to think that they took the table near the counter. And I notice a lot of girls from our school are looking in his direction."Wow, I couldn't believe that the football prodigy will be here at this hour. And I think when Ashton told you he doesn't take no for an answer, it only means he was breaking his own rule for not asking a girl twice." Alice whispered in my ear, and I gave her my sweetest smile."Stop your Illusion, Alice, and help your best friend here to avoid the filthy rich student of our school," I replied in a low voice since
"Come again, Ashton? You mean Megan Corteza?" Zach asked me for the third time."What is wrong with you, Zach? Do you have some problems with your ears? Do I need to tell you ten times that yes, I will be late for practice today because I need to talk with Megan?" I declared, and he eyed me for a long time."What do you need from Megan, Bro?" He asked me."It is none of your business, Zach," I replied."It is my business, Ashton, because you are my best friend, and we to talk about it if it regards with the girls we have to share. And why do you change your preference for girls? He asked, and I can feel his irritation."And why do you look so scared if I am going to ask Megan out?" I said to him, and his eyes widened."What???? Are you going to ask her out? Are you out of your mind? Would you please do not do that to her, Ashton? I know that Megan is way out of your league, but she is different from all the girls on campus. If I can only go in there and ask her out, I will do it in a
"Would you please stop staring at Megan like that, Ashton, because you are scaring me? Actually, I am bothered right now because I couldn't believe you will be acting this way. I have never seen you so smitten by a girl before, and right now, I am backing out. I will no longer compete with you. At first, I thought you weren't serious at all. That is why I was begging you to stop bothering her. But now that I have seen you look at her that way, I could tell you got it bad, buddy." Zach said as he looked at me, gazing at Megan the entire time while I was sipping my coffee. And yes, what my best friend had said was all true because this is the first time I chased a girl. I usually hide from them, but this girl intrigued me, and she is like a magnet that I find so hard to stay away from, and I am determined to spend time with her and know her."Of course, I will never allow you to court her, Zach." I declared."Don't be so confident, bro; she already turned you down." He responded, and I
I don't know how I feel at the moment; at the age of eighteen, I have zero experience with dating, and I don't have any idea about going out with boys since I am so busy with school and with my extracurricular activities, and with my part-time job.I hate to say that I am good with an oral recitation in our class every time our teacher asked questions. I could quickly raise my hand in the air, but this time I couldn't even make a single word as I get myself inside his brand new sports car, and I hate to admit that his car smells so good, just like Ashton.But the moment I settled myself inside his sports car, I realized I couldn't be with him. He makes my pulse racing, and I felt so shy. Most of all, I know it was a mistake that I gave him a chance to know me because I know he is trouble, and once I get involved with him, I know those cheerleaders who circled him during practice will make my life hell, and all I want is to graduate my high school without any complications, so I need t
Ashton's POVI couldn't believe that Megan would run off just like that after we shared a hot kiss, and I realized Zachary was right when he told me that Megan has never been kissed. And I couldn't believe my luck, and now that I have tasted her lips, I couldn't stop thinking about it, and this is the first time that a girl has run away from me after sharing a sweet kiss. All the girls that I have kiss will always stick around and cling into my arms and would be asking for more. Most of the time, the girls I dated will kiss me again after sharing a sweet kiss on our first date.But I am aware that for Megan, it wasn't our first date because she kept pushing me away. After all, she was very doubtful about my intention towards her, but I couldn't blame her, and she has all the right to feel that way since she was right. I had have never given her a second glance every time we cross paths before, even if we have been classmates for a long time.I must admit I have stolen Megan's first ki
Megan's POVThe moment I wake up, I can feel the heaviness of my eyes, and I am having back pain, and I realize I don't have enough sleep because of one person named Ashton, and this is the first time that I feel this way, and I hate to admit that I am so affected by his kiss. I never thought that what they have said in the movies and even in books that your first kiss will keep you awake at night was right. Now that it is happening to me, I realize that my first kiss was fantastic, and I can even feel butterflies in my stomach as I remember our kiss. And even now that I am standing inside my room looking at my face in the mirror, I can still feel Ashton's soft lips on my mouth, and I hate that I am going crazy because of just one kiss. Still, I will never let Ashton Priztgold ruined my senior year because I have already planned everything."Are you all right, honey?" My mom asked me while she was looking at my face. My mom is tall and very beautiful, and she is working at the nearest
Megan's POVI get inside the library after I said goodbye to Ashton, and I can't stop myself from feeling so happy as I walked to my favorite spot, and after I sat down, I started answering my exercises. I know I have to study in advance because I am going to work after class, and I don't have time to review after I got home because I need to answer all my assignments. I know it is tiring, but I don't have a choice. I want to proceed with my studies and graduate from college to make my dreams come true. Besides, I want to help my mom because someday, I want them to stop working. After all, by the time my parents became old, it would be my time to help them.I adjusted my headset since I was listening to some music on my phone while answering my notes, and I didn't notice someone sat across from me, and when I raised my head, I couldn't help myself but smile at my best friend, Alice. We didn't talk as we continue answering our notes and reading our books because we both know that we ne
