Megan's POV

The 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

    Megan's POV"Are you alright, Megan?" Zach asked as he drove me home, and I want to see Ashton. 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 am just afraid if I will get hurt if I get involved with him."Do you want to come with me and see him?" Zach asked, and I get confused since I

Coach Davis yelled at me after I stumbled on the ground hard after passing the ball to the wide receiver of our team, and I wonder why there is a big stone on the playground that we overlooked. 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

Does something happen again?" Alice said the moment I told her over the phone that I accepted Ashton as my boyfriend, and I can feel her excitement when she screamed, and I couldn't contain my smile as I heard my best friend shrieked even if I can feel the pain in my heart as I remembered Dexter's words.I know I need to decide soon, but I want to be happy even for a while. I hated why Dex needs to tell me those discouraging words about Ashton's dad, but I am glad he informed me about my mom's sickness, and I felt so guilty that I didn't know about it, and I felt hurt that they kept it a secret from me.

And then Lennon got out of his car, and he walked towards the backseat and opened the door for us."Good morning, Megan.

He said, and I couldn't stop my heart from beating so fast, and I am just glad my brother left earlier than us, or I will be in big trouble again."I hope it would be all right if I would be your driver for the day." He added, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw my sister blushed when she found Cole staring at her, and I want to scream no, it is enough that I am being attracted to Ashton, and I can't let my sister fall for Cole, too, it would be a total disaster for the four of us."You don't need to pick us up, Lennon.

And this is the first time I see you like this. Are you okay?" Ava asked me after she got out of the shower."I don't know what to wear," I said as my sister laughs at me."Are you kidding me? When did you turn out like this? It bothers me that you don't care about what you were wearing before. Does it mean Ashton is going to pick us up this morning?" She asked, and when I looked at her, her face fell."And why do you look like that?" I asked her in return."Are you disappointed that Lennon and Cole will not come and get us?"
