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
Megan's POVNever in my entire life, I think that my dreams will come in reality because I have been dreaming about it and wishing that Ashton would be sitting beside me during class and will be looking at my face the whole time, and now that it is happening, I can feel the sweat on my palms. I can hear the pounding of my heart against my chest, and I realized how those cheerleaders looked so cool every time they linked arms with Ashton walking on the hallways with beautiful smiles on their faces when right now I think I am going to have a heart attack.The moment our teacher dismissed our class, I get my bag and hold my books on my chest, and I ran outside our classroom. I heard Alice and Oscar following behind me while they are calling my name, and I didn't take a second look until I reach our classroom for the next period, which I am so glad I don't share with Ashton. I know what I did was irrational and ridiculous, but I felt so delighted that he didn't run after me. I need to sta
Megan's POVWe walked faster in going to the locker before our first period in the afternoon will start. I stopped in my tracks to find Ashton and Zach in front of my locker, and I realized they tried to erase the paint on my locker room. And I saw the girls, primarily cheerleading squad members, lingered around the locker room, and Oscar had nudged me. In contrast, I saw Alice grinned as she watched them cleaned the paint on my locker, and when Ashton noticed us, he stopped what he was doing. He walked closer to me, and I can feel my heart is pounding against my chest, and I want to run away from him because my mind is telling me to stay away from Ashton to keep my heart safe, but my own heart betrayed me as I remained footed on the ground.He caressed my face, and I felt so excited, and I tried my best to stop my body from shaking. And I hate myself for hoping he will kiss me again, but instead, he takes some strand of my light brown hair that covered my face and put it at the back
Ashton's POVThe moment I arrived at Megan's driveway, I felt so restless because I am so excited to see her today, but the moment she got out of her house, I can see that she is not happy to see me, and I realize Cole was right there is always a first time of everything. And I admit this is the first time I have seen a girl so angry to see me, and it seems like she doesn't want to see me at all.I can tell that Megan wanted me to leave right away when she told me to go because she is busy and they are in a hurry, and I am just glad that her sister insisted on riding in my car, so she has no option but to ride with me. I kept silent the entire ride in going to the school. After all, I am so afraid I will say something that will upset her more because I am so confused about what to do with her because I want to know her, but it seems more complicated than I thought. Last night I was very confident that I can easily win her over, but I was wrong.I can tell Megan tensed up when we arriv
Megan's POV "Thank you, Ashton, and you don't need to take me here because the café is very near to our school. I know you have practice and you should not be late because I know your coach is very strict about your training. And I don't blame him because your football team brings fame to our school." I said. "You are welcome, Meg. I hope next time you will still allow me to send you here and to your house. As much as I want to stay and watch you during your entire shift, but I know I should go back to the school grounds right now since I know the coach will get mad at me again because I was late this morning." He said, and I felt guilty since he walked with me to the library early this morning. "Bye, Megan, and see you later." He said, and my heart is beating so fast. "Goodbye, Ashton, and I think you must hurry now," I said as I smiled at him. He waved his hand before he closed the window of his pick-up truck and drove away from me, going back to the school, and I couldn't stop m
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
