gan's POV
I can't deny that I feel so happy that Ashton was sitting beside during my first period in the afternoon. And I wonder why he changed his schedule, and I hate myself for thinking that it was all because of . And I felt so happy that I am wearing his varsity jacket right now. And never in my wildest dream did I imagine myself having this mont because it would be impossible to be with him. But the way Ashton stared at the entire ti during our teacher's discussion, I couldn't stop myself from feeling so overwheld with happiness, but I know this feeling that I have with him cos with a price. And I am sure those girls who were looking daggers at will co to later. I know no matter how Ashton wanted to protect , they are still going to hurt .
Ashton sends to my next class, and I can tell the girls are still flirting with him by calling his na even if we are holding hands while walking in the hallway. Alice was still walking behind us no matter how many tis I signaled her to walk beside . And the boys are looking at my legs as we continue to walk.
"See you later, g," Ashton said the mont we arrived in my classroom.
"Okay, " I replied in more than a whisper since I felt so nervous, and he turned to face , and he removed strands of my hair from my face and tucked them at the back of my ear before he kissed my forehead, and then He turned his heels, and I smiled when I saw him sprinted in going to his next class.
"Hi, g!" I heard the boys greeted as I get inside, and I felt so happy that my best friend walked beside . Since I don't know how to deal with them since this is the first ti I get this kind of attention. I don't know if it was because I was wearing a sexy skirt or because they realized Ashton Pritzgold is so crazy about , and I raised my head and smiled at them, but I quickly averted their gaze as I realized for the first ti they looked at with admiration on their faces.
"Bitch!" I heard Lauren said as she looked at , but I ignore her comnt since I don't want to get involved in a fight because I know I am going to lose my scholarship right away the mont I will get myself into trouble.
"Yes! The most pathetic bitch at all tis!" Alisa seconded, and I am just glad Alice is with .
"Don't mind them, gan. Just read your books so you can't hear them. Besides, they only want you to get hurt to avoid Ashton, but I am now sure Ashton is serious with you. And I couldn't believe he will let you borrow his varsity jacket." Alice said, and I can tell the excitent In her voice, and even if I felt hurt right now, I can't stop myself from smiling at my best friend.
"You are right, Alice, but I can't stop myself from getting affected by their hurtful words," I replied.
"I know how you feel, gan because you are my best friend, and I feel the sa way too. And I hate them for hurting your feelings even if you have done nothing wrong with them, and I want to tweak their hair right now." Alice said, and I stifled a laugh since I couldn't believe what she said.
"If I were you, you need to focus on how the boys looked at you, see? I have told you before; you need to change your outfit preference so all the boys will be drooling over you." She said as I shook my head.
"I only like one boy, Alice, and so far, he loves my outfit, and I can tell my choice of clothing doesn't bother him at all," I replied, and before Alice could reply, our teacher arrived. The entire classroom fell silent the mont our teacher started discussing our lesson for the day.
Countless tis I answered our teacher's questions, and it feels like we are attending a quiz ball since Lauren, and I keep turn on answering the questions of our teacher. I felt delighted that I study in advance even if I find it hard to concentrate since I can't stop myself from thinking about Ashton every night, and even during the day, he still occupies my mind and the feelings I have for him.
I felt so glad my last period was over without complications from the cheerleaders, but when I go to my locker room with my two close friends, I found Lauren and Alisa in front of my locker, and I don't know what they did to my assigned locker this ti. And when they saw us coming, they remained standing in front of my locker as they looked at with anger.
"For how many tis do I need to warn you, gan? I already told you to stay away from Ashton, but you never listen, and right now, you are doing it again. And it beca worse. How could you Ask Ashton to defend you? Aren't you ashad of what you are doing? I know your kind, gan. You are a user. I know that your family is not well off. That is why you seduce Ashton, hoping he can help you with your financial problems, and this is your last chance. Stay away from him, or you will suffer the consequences." Lauren said, and the girls nodded in agreent.
"Lauren, I will never use Ashton; I never seduce him because I still have my pride. He ca to and asked to date him." I replied.
"Ha! Do not make laugh, gan because I know you, and I will never believe in you since no one in this entire Academy can explain why Ashton would date soone like you. Stop dreaming bitch!" Lauren said, and she turned around and walked away from the locker room. And all her supporters followed behind her, and I released a sigh of relief when I could no longer see them. And I tried my best to follow Alice's advice, but I can't stop my tears from falling, but I wanted to stop them right away since I don't want our fellow students to see crying.
I opened my locker and got my things. Oscar walked with us to the cafe while they both remained silent since I know they saw cry again. I felt so glad that many ca to our coffee shop today, and I realized most of them are our fellow students, and so are Lauren's friends, and they pretended to have so order, but I can tell they are here to spy on .
"The best thing you can do, g, is to relax, and take a deep breath, and take their orders as possible, and I followed Alice's words, but the mont I served them with their latte, they all complained I mixed up their orders, but I know I didn't make any mistake, and they are doing all this to punish , and I can tell they looked so triumphant now that my boss ca to the front and try to talk with them. And no matter how many tis my boss explained to them, it was impossible that I got their order wrong since it is one of our internal protocols to repeat the order of every guest.
"We want a refund since I can tell she also put sothing on my Caral latte." One of them said.
" too." And the rest of her companion insisted on having a refund instead of serving them
another latte.
"Okay, you will all be refunded." My boss said, and the mont they were gone.
"I am sorry, gan, I have to deduct their orders from your salary." My boss said, and I nodded my head, and the mont he gets back to his office, I sat on the floor and bent my knees, and I felt glad we don't have custors at the mont.
"I am sure those girls are also Lauren's followers, and they ca here as per her instructions, and can you imagine they have ten orders? And it is impossible if you got it all mixed up since I also helped you, and I am sure they did it on purpose," Alice said. I can see the anger on her face.
"It is okay, Alice," I replied.
"It is not okay, gan. Maybe you were right when you told you better stay away from Ashton. But I hate to think that it would be unfair on his part since he has not done sothing wrong to you. He was always sweet, and I can tell he is falling for you." She said, and I know Alice has a point, and I felt sad.
"You better get up now, g. Soone is coming." Alice said, and I fixed myself to look presentable in front of our next custor, and I smiled when I saw Zachary in front of the counter.
"Hi, g. I ca since I need to pay for those ten cups of latte that my friends insisted on having refunds." He said, and I wonder how he knew about it, and before I can talk, Alice beat to it, and she motioned for Zach to go to her side, and I want to ask Zachary why he was paying for their order.
"Wow, it seems you have a savior, gan," Alice said after Zachary left, and I am still wondering how did he found out about it. My shift ended, and I said goodbye to Alice with a heavy heart because even if Zach paid the returned order, I still felt so down as I get out of the cafe.. I am walking at a slow pace, and I felt so confused at the mont, but my eyes widened when I saw Ashton leaning on his car with a beautiful smile on his face, and I suddenly feel the heaviness of my heart was gone the mont he gave his sweetest smile.
