Megan's POV"Are you sure about this, Megan?" Alice asked me, and I nodded my head as I tried to compose myself, and even if I was having the hardest time of my life."Well, I have been telling you that we should go to Astikoz hills and see your boyfriend, but you were so sure of yourself that you didn't want to go. 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?" I asked Alice, and she was shaking her head."I
Megan's POV"Meg, Alice, long time no see!" Zachary said, avoiding my eyes, and I knew right away he was guilty of not answering my text messages and calls."Yeah, because the people I know in Astikoz hills were trying to ignore me, and I didn't expect you will also do the same to me, Zach, but I know your loyalty will always be with your best friend, and I get that, but I came here to ask your help. 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
Megan's POV"Ashton, I came here because I have a very important thing to tell you, but it seems you are having a good time, and I was such a fool for thinking that your father was the reason you stopped communicating with me, but now everything is clear to me," I said. 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. Still, Zachary beat me to it by punching Ashton on his face with force, and I wonder why Ashton didn't fight back, he received Zach's blo
"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
