Ashton's POV
The mont I arrived at gan's driveway, I felt so restless because I am so excited to see her today, but the mont she got out of her house, I can see that she is not happy to see , and I realize Cole was right there is always a first ti of everything. And I admit this is the first ti I have seen a girl so angry to see , and it seems like she doesn't want to see at all.
I can tell that gan wanted to leave right away when she told 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 . I kept silent the entire ride in going to the school. After all, I am so afraid I will say sothing 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 gan tensed up when we arrived at the school grounds, especially the mont her sister got out of my car. And I understand that she doesn't like to be the center of attention. Still, once she dates , she will always be the center of attention because I am not bragging. Still, I see many girls are always waiting for in the hallways giving gifts, and so of them are giving love letters even though cheerleaders are throwing themselves at .
I don't want to hurt anyone. That is why I tried my best to avoid girls, and I always decline since I don't want to use them because I have an elder sister. I don't want her to be a victim of so love ga. That is why I don't want to play gas with girls. There are monts I can't say no, like what happened between Lauren and , and I am just glad we remain friends.
I know from the very beginning that we should not be romantically involved, but she begged . I wouldn't say I liked it when she cried in front of , and since Lauren is beautiful, hot, I couldn't say no, but I realized I don't feel sothing towards her, like how I felt towards gan. That is why I broke up with her telling her I'm not too fond of commitnt, and since then, everyone always believes that we are a couple. Still, we only dated a month.
I tried dating again, but the sa things happened, so I chose to stick with Lauren, no commitnt because I want the girls to stay away from . They always see with Lauren, but we are only friends. Still, I allow her sotis to kiss in public to tell the girls to back off because I don't want to hurt them anymore, but even so, I keep receiving love letters in my locker room and love ssages on my phone from an unknown number.
There are tis during practice a girl will approach and ask to talk to even for a while. Then when I spoke with her, I realized she only wants to confess her feelings for , and it is not cool to turn down a girl, and it took a lot of my willpower to say no because I don't want to hurt anyone. But I can't make anyone, just my girlfriend, because I need soone who will make my heart flutters against my chest, and I couldn't believe that for the first ti I feel this way, and when this is happening, I couldn't believe she is saying no to .
And for the first ti, I experienced a sleepless night because I kept thinking of one simple girl. gan Corteza made wide awake at night, and now that we are walking going to the library. I want to make it right, and I only waved my hand to my teammates even though I know they have been waiting for , and I only texted Zach that I would go after them; I need to send gan to the library. I know she felt shy, but I am just glad she allowed to walk with her, and for the first ti, I felt excited and worried at the sa ti if she will push away again like what happened this morning in the driveway of their house.
I sprinted to the school's ground for practice, and I know I am so late. And the coach gave a warning, but I know he will let it slide since I have never been late before; I have always been a dedicated athlete. During the entire practice, I couldn't stop thinking about gan, and I felt happy and more inspired to play football.
"Ashton, are you dating gan Corteza?" Drake asked after our practice; he is one of my close friends, and we always spend ti together after our training exercises because we are also neighbors, and I could tell a lot of my neighbors are studying here because our academy is the most expensive school in the entire country. Most of the students here are sons and daughters of prominent families all around the country. We have classmates that ca from different cities, who are children of millionaires and billionaires.
"That is my plan, and why?" I asked him, but I am grinning at him.
"Well, I am not saying you don't look good together because I know gan has her beauty, but she always hides her body by covering it with long dresses and pants. I haven't seen her wearing shorts or miniskirts, and they said maybe she was hiding sothing awful behind those long dresses. Still, I am not saying this to discourage you, Ashton. I am just shocked that you want to date soone like her, and I could tell the way you looked at gan is different from the way you looked at the girls you dated before, and I think you are serious with her." Drake said as we walk fast to our locker while Zachary remained silent as he walked beside .
"Thanks for your concern, Drake, and yes, I am serious with gan. She is different, and please tell the entire team no one is allowed to date, gan." I said, and he laughed.
"Of course, Ashton, we respect you, man," Drake said, and I patted his shoulder.
We ran going to our first class, and I am excited to see gan; and I know right away that sothing was wrong because she avoided and ignored , and when I asked her why she was upset, she snarled at and told to leave her in peace.
"What?" I am shocked when Zach told what happened to gan's locker.
"Yeah, that is why she was upset with you. I already told you once you will show interest in gan, her life will never be the sa again, your fans will bring her down, and worst, they will make gan lost her scholarship." Zach said, and I suddenly felt cold.
"I will make sure that it will never happen again because I will do everything to protect her, and once she will beco my girlfriend. I know they will back off because they respect , and those girls will respect her as well." I replied, and he shook his head.
"I don't think so, Ashton. You know those girls are crazy, and they will do everything or anything to make gan hate you." He answered.
"Whatever, Zach, what is important right now is to help her remove the paint," I said. We didn't go to the cafeteria during lunch since we only eat sandwiches and walk to the maintenance departnt and talked with the head. And I explained what happened, and I asked so lacquer thinner to remove the vandalism on gan's locker. And I hate whoever did it, and the mont I saw the bold letters BITCH on her locker, I realized she has all the right to be upset, and I felt guilty.
"What should I do, Zach?" I asked my best friend as I wiped the paint away.
"Well, for , it is better you leave gan alone." He honestly said to , and I couldn't stop my heart from feeling sad.
"Do you think that is the best solution for all this?" I asked again.
"If you want gan to have a peaceful senior life, then you should stay away from her," Zach replied.
"But I don't want to, Zach," I responded.
"Then, you should protect her the mont she will beco your girlfriend, Ashton. She is vulnerable because of her scholarship, gan needs to maintain her grades so she will beco our class valedictorian, and most of all, so she can proceed with her studies. She wanted to beco a chemist in the future, Ashton." He responded, and I couldn't believe Zach will know about gan's dream of becoming a chemist soday, and I gave him a hard stare.
"Co on, Ashton, I already told you I am gan's secret admirer. That is why I am asking you to please don't date her if you will only break her heart in the end." Zach said.
"I am sorry, Zachary, but I am serious with gan, and you don't need to worry because I promise you I will never hurt her," I said as I continue cleaning the ss. He fell silent, and I feel guilty that I asked my best friend not to court gan. And I know I am selfish, but this is the first ti I felt sothing like this, and I think I am falling for her.. I can't stop the rapid beating of my heart when I saw gan standing not so far away from us, and I realized she took my breath away, and I couldn't stop myself from walking towards her, and what happens in her locker today only made realized that I want to date her more.
