Knowing Asher

Chapter|29|

I ducked my head just in time to see a basketball fly over my head. It lands a few feet away from me.

What the hell was that?

I looked in front of me to see Katrina fuming and Asher standing in front of her. Did she just throw that ball at me and did he just save my head?
He remembers my name.

That is what you are focusing on.

A few people have gathered to watch the show. "Why the fuck would you do that?" Asher's voice boomed through the hall.

"You kept staring at her and I was annoyed" she replied matching his tone.
He was staring at me.

Oh my God!

He ignored you for a month,let's remember that.

"That is not enough reason to try to hurt her" he sneered and my heart fluttered.
He didn't deny the fact that he was staring at me.

Why does his words still affect me so much after he hurt me so much?

She was about to reply but he held a hand up silencing her. "Don't you ever do that to anyone again" he said in a sinister voice and she cowered in fear.

He started walking towards me and I fiddled with my fingers nervous.

"You didn't get hurt right?" he asked scanning my body.

"No, thank you" I said quickly and sauntered to my class.

I am proud.

It took a lot of willpower to walk away from him. He shouldn't expect a warm welcome after ignoring me for a month.

"We are going to talk about _" I couldn't focus on the teacher's remaining words because my thoughts were jumbled.

Why was he staring at me?
He defended me in front of everyone.

Actually he defended all the people Katrina bullied. Remember his words : 'don't you ever do that to anyone''.

You always love messing with my mood.

I love helping you come back to reality.

"That is all for the class" the teacher said and my eyes widened.
Didn't the class just start now?

Quit dreaming babe, the class started minutes ago. How had you know when you were busying reading much meanings into his words again? You haven't learn a lesson from the last time.

I can't help it. Everything he does is always etched to my brain and I can get rid of it.
Why do you keep messing with me Asher?

You wanna be scolded because you are already running late for the next class.

With that, I packed my things quickly and rushed to the my next class.
Mrs Molly, why on earth would I be late to her class?

"So that is how_" Mrs Molly's voice trailed off as I opened the door slowly. All eyes turned to look at me. "Miss Walker, would you mind explaining why you are coming to my class late?" she scowled out and I winced internally.

Should I just go with my normal line? 'The teacher asked me to wait behind to discuss things'.

I have a feeling that wouldn't work together so don't bother.

"I left the previous class late because I was explaining some things to a fellow classmate" I lied through my teeth fiddling with my fingers. I hope she buys it. "Next time, do that at a free period. I am pardoning you because this is your first time. Go take a seat" she said and I breathed a sigh of relief.
