Ashton's POV

Ever 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.

    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

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 never in my wildest dream did I imagine myself having this moment because it would be impossible to be with him.

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

Still, I felt shy to tell Zach about it, since he was also one of the rich kids and one of the best football players in our school, but among the players, he was the most friendly since I had heard him say hi to me many times before Ashton showed interest to date me."Yeah, I am just worried about him, and I hope that he was fine," I said as I look outside the window, and I realized I promised to spend time with him after my work today. But I couldn't believe he had a minor injury, and I think it was a sign that Ashton is not the guy for me. Still, as I think about it, I can't stop myself from feeling sad because deep in my heart, I know I was looking forward to our date, and I hated myself that I was trying hard to get, but I can't blame myself.

I sprain my ankle, and it swelled immediately, and I find it hard to move. Coach has no choice but to allow me to be out from practice and asked Zachary to take me home. He advised me to put some ice on it and elevate my ankle. "Are you okay?" Zach asked the moment he gets inside the driver's seat of my car after he helped me settled on my seat."No, I am not okay because I can't pick up Megan. I hate that this is happening to me right now when I have my chance to be with Meg because this is the only time she allowed me to take her on a date because of her busy schedule." I replied, and I saw Zach shaking his head."What?" I asked why he shook his head."I was asking about your ankle and not how you feel in your heart." He said as he drove away from t

I looked at him in the eyes, and he was looking at me with bitterness on his face.I didn't let them see my tears because when they trickled down on my face, I looked down and wiped them right away with my fingers, I was already hurt, and I didn't want Ashton, especially Lauren, to see me in tears. What I have left is my self-respect. Ashton injured my heart, and I promised to forget him starting today. "Yes, you are right, Meg. I am having the best time of my life, now that you are no longer part of it. And please leave." He said, and my entire body shook, and I wanted to slap him.

I need to tell Ashton about something, and the guards won't let us in, and you are the only one who can help me." I said, and for the first time after we got inside his gigantic house, he turned to look at me in the eyes, and I was shocked to see his swollen eyes, and I wondered what had happened to him."Look, Meg, I don't want to be in trouble, I already talked with Ashton, and this is what I've got." He said as he pointed to his black eye, and my eyes widened in disbelief that Ashton hit him, and I realized my boyfriend didn't want to see me anymore."Zach, I need Ashton now, there is

And now I wonder what made you decide to see Ashton, and I can tell you looked so bad, Meg." Alice added as she looked at me sideways."I will tell you everything after I see Ashton, Alice," I said as I tried to control myself."Do you know I am hurt? You used to tell me everything first, but ever since Ashton came into your life, everything changed, but I understand because I know you became so in love with your boyfriend." Alice declared, and I could feel the bitterness in her voice."Ex-boyfriend," I said in a stern voice, and I heard my best friend chuckle, and I could tell she was mocking me."Why are you like that, Al?"
