“That was amazing,” I praised Callie dramatically after she finished the last scene. “Bravo!”

She laughed and took some gigantic gulps of water. “That was a lot of talking.”

I laughed and that woke up Ashton. He groaned and sat up as the final bell rang.

“I fell asleep?” he asked. I didn’t know why, but his tired voice sounded so nice..

“You were as snug as a bug in a rug,” I joked.

Callie jumped up. “I'm starting rehearsals for the school play today,” she said excitedly. “I should go. Bye babe,” she said, blowing me a kiss. “Bye Ashton,” she waved as she went off in the direction of the classrooms.

Ashton turned to me with a small yawn.

“Are you getting enough sleep?”

He just nodded. I glared at him, letting him know that I wasn’t convinced.

“Let’s go,” he said, standing up. “Kristof’s soulmate is on her way to his house.”

I got up lazily and he laughed. We were walking along the stone paths when realization suddenly dawned on me. My heart crashed down to the ground and I stopped mid-walk. Ashton looked at me confused. I instinctively reached up to my neck, but it was empty.

“My necklace…” I gasped as my mind flashed back to the cafeteria where Nicole had taken it.

I didn’t get a chance to take it back and with everything that happened after that, it had slipped my mind.

He realized what I was missing and glared at me. “That’s strike two.”

“Nicole has it,” I groaned. “I need to find her.”

She probably had cheerleading practice now, which meant she was either in the gym or on the field.

I decided to check the field first, since it was the closest to the parking lot and I wanted to put my bag in Ashton’s car. Luckily, they were there.

Nicole was closer to us than I thought, because as Ashton put my bag in his car, she stormed into the parking lot. When she saw me with Ashton her face immediately became angrier than it was before. My anger quickly rose too, when I saw my necklace around her neck. Ashton growled lowly beside me.

“I’m going to need that back.” I glared at her with my palms outstretched.

She ignored me and came closer so that she was standing directly in front of Ashton.

“So you really are dating her?” she asked venomously.

“That’s none of your business,” he stated nonchalantly. “That necklace doesn’t suit you. Take it off.”

She scoffed and glared in my direction. If looks could kill, I would have died and been buried by now.

“Did she place some kind of spell on you?” Nicole spat. “Or are you into nerds now?”

“If anyone’s placing spells, then it would be you.” I spat back.

I didn’t want to start an argument, but she had already done that. Besides, I couldn’t resist saying it back after she’d called Callie a witch at lunch.

“You think you’re so smart,” Nicole retorted.

“My achievements also say that."

I never bragged, but it was like Nicole just knew how to rile me up. I just couldn’t resist talking back to her now, especially since I never did before. Looking back, she always had the last word. That was going to change, and today was the day.
