Ashton's POV"Ashton, what is wrong with you today? You were late this morning, and now you are late again. I am sorry, buddy, you should set a good example to your teammates since you are their quarterback, and I don't have a choice but make you run for at least five laps." Coach Davis said, and he didn't give me time to react, and I go to the field immediately and run my heart out. After my punishment, I join my teammates, and I know this is the first time I experienced a punishment because I have never been late for practice before."Hello, mom!" I answered my phone the moment it rings after my football practice."Ashton, you need to come home right now, after your practice. We are having dinner with your dad. You know he is always busy with his work, and this is only the time he asked you personally to join us. You have been avoiding your father for how many days now, son. He is your father, for heaven's sake." My mom said on the other line."Mom, I need to go somewhere after my p
Megan's POVI know I have never dated anyone before, and the feelings that I feel right now are all new to me. Still, I have watched romantic movies and read romance books, so I have an idea how it feels, and now that I am experiencing it for the first time, it feels nice to be with someone that I like for so long now. Ashton doesn't know that I like him even before he asked me to go out with him. I know I tried to push him away, but right now, I can tell that I wanted to have a date with him even though it means I need to face his fans, and even if I felt scared about what would be their next move, I want to meet them with my head high to be with Ashton.He turned on his car stereo, and I smiled as I listened to his mellow music again, and I find him so adorable as he sang along with the artist. I know almost every girl in our school liked him, and I felt so lucky to be seated beside him in his car, even if I know the possible outcome of all this. I need to prepare myself for whateve
Megan's POVI am so thankful that when we arrived in our classroom for our first period, Ashton is not yet around. And I am not sure how I am going to deal with Ashton as of now after what happened with me on the ground near the library. I hate Lauren for doing something like that to me, but I know, and I am aware that she is jealous of me. I am not yet Ashton's girlfriend, yet it seems like we have been dating already because of what is happening to me. I feel so glad that our teacher gets inside while Ashton and some of his teammates are following behind him, and they are just on time before our teacher will have his roll call.I didn't dare to turn my head because I don't want to see Ashton, and I don't like him to know that something is going on with me again. I am scared if he will think I have multiple personalities since when he picked me up from our house, I was sweet with him, and I know he might wonder why I become suddenly agitated by him. I concentrated on my assignment, a
Ashton's POVEver since I started liking Megan, I always want our football practice to be over earlier than usual since I want to spend some time with her before our first period, but it seems like our coach knew I am beginning to like someone. And I can feel that he intentionally dismissed us with so little time to spare that we are running to our first period. I can't deny I like to attend my first class in the morning since it is one of the subjects that I have with Megan, and I felt so happy that we are classmates in literature, and I want to be inspired by the entire day."Hey, have you heard that your ex was harassing Megan?" Zach said as he walked with me going to our literature class while some of our teammates are walking behind us."What? How did you know about that? I haven't talked with her for the past few days, and I thought she was busy with her cheerleading practice." I replied."Oh, I see. My reliable source told me Lauren was busy hurting Megan. If you are not going
Megan's POV"Thank you, Ashton, but you don't need to do that. I can take care of myself." I said as he walked me out from the cafeteria while Oscar and Alice are walking behind us."Oh, by running away from them? Megan, they can't just do something like that to you. And please, tell me next time if they will bother you again. I know Lauren was harassing you lately, and it was because of me. And I am sorry, Meg, I wasn't there to protect you during those times. But I am telling you, I will make them pay for what they have done to you." Ashton declared, and I felt so guilty that after Lauren tore my literature assignment this morning, I planned on pushing him away."Ashton, you must understand that I should remain silent because I am not like you," I replied."What do you mean by that, Megan?" He asked me, and he stopped in his tracks, and he faced me. And I can see the concern written all over his face."Lauren belonged to your society, she is beautiful and rich, and I am aware her da
Ashton's POVI hate that Megan lost her self-confidence because she thought she doesn't have the right to fight back with Lauren and her friends. After all, she doesn't belong to our society. But even if Megan is not the daughter of a millionaire or billionaire, Meg has a right to be treated equally by those girls, and I hate that they do this to her. Megan is intelligent and a bright student, but she was so afraid of them because she thought he is just a scholar of our school. And I can tell that my girl is so afraid to lose her scholarship if she talks back with them or tells them to back off. I already speak with Lauren, and I couldn't believe that she will do this to Megan again.I know one of the sponsors of the scholarship in our Academy is Lauren's parents, and of course, my parents too, and many more from our society. And I can tell that is also one of the reasons why she doesn't want to date me because I am Gregory Pritzgold's son. And it is known to everyone that my family o
Megan's POVI can't deny that I feel so happy that Ashton was sitting beside me during my first period in the afternoon. And I wonder why he changed his schedule, and I hate myself for thinking that it was all because of me. And I felt so happy that I am wearing his varsity jacket right now. And never in my wildest dream did I imagine myself having this moment because it would be impossible to be with him. But the way Ashton stared at me the entire time during our teacher's discussion, I couldn't stop myself from feeling so overwhelmed with happiness, but I know this feeling that I have with him comes with a price. And I am sure those girls who were looking daggers at me will come to me later. I know no matter how Ashton wanted to protect me, they are still going to hurt me.Ashton sends me to my next class, and I can tell the girls are still flirting with him by calling his name even if we are holding hands while walking in the hallway. Alice was still walking behind us no matter how
Megan's POVThe tiredness that I felt was gone the moment I saw Ashton's beautiful smile that always makes my heart melt, and I can't control the rapid beating of my heart as he walked closer to me. As usual, he looked so adorable and handsome, and even until now, I still can't believe he became interested in me. Ashton strides towards me with confidence. He was wearing cargo shorts and a plain gray t-shirt. Even if he was wearing simple clothes, he still looked like a hot celebrity that I couldn't stop myself from gaping at his handsome face. His beautiful smile broadened when he caught me staring at his lips, and I can feel my face flushed, and I felt shy thinking he realized I was hoping he would kiss me again.He never kisses me again, and how I wish I didn't run away from him that night. But I was shocked that time since we are still strangers to each other, unlike now that we talk each other lately."Hey!" He greeted me the moment we faced each other, and I can feel the tremblin
