Alex's POV When I woke up, Asher had already left. I stood up and went to brush and take a bath, it's been so long since I took a relaxing bath. While I was dressing up, I saw my phone light up at the corner of my eyes, I went to get it, thinking it was from Cole and I noticed a piece of paper under it with Asher's name scribbled across it. "I guess he wrote me a note before he left." I whispered. I opened the note and it read: I think we should end this. The first sentence hit me like a train, I assumed that I'd be the one doing the breaking up so I didn't prepare myself for the possibility that he might do it. It's not about the cheating, it's just that I always had hope, you know, that you'd eventually fall for me but after last night, I realized that it was all just in my head... and I know you told me that this was only for fun, I knew that but I just wanted you and honestly, I didn't care how I got you and that was s

I was so shocked that I yelled his name. When his eyes met Cole's, he had an angry look plastered across his usually expressionless face. I glanced over at Cole to see if he was as surprised as I was but instead he had a devilish grin on his face. He knew, he knew that Asher worked here, that's why he brought me here. I should've known something was wrong when he suggested we dined at a fancy restaurant like this. My blood began to boil as I realized that this wasn't a 'date' date, this was a 'make Asher jealous by going out with Alex to his workplace' date."Let's move to a table outside." I said, not meeting his eyes because he would surely convince me to stay, and I would give in."But Alex I-""I'll have a table ready for you in a minute." Asher said before leaving."Hey." He called, but I didn't answer. "Alex." I wish he'd get that I was angry.I heard indistinctive whispers coming from outside the door then someone other than Asher came in an

Alex's POV It's winter break now and we resume school next year January 3rd. It's been 3 week since Asher kissed me, I haven't told Cole about it yet because he gets riled up over nothing these days, he saw some of Asher's clothes in my locker and almost burnt them all. He kept asking me why I still had it but he wasn't here anymore and I couldn't give it back to him. Cole walked into my room without knocking, "Hey." he said. "Hi." I replied, not taking my eyes off my phone. "I found out his address, let's go return his clothes." He said and walked to the front of my closet. "What the fuck?" I yelled, surprised. "I don't like seeing his clothes here... please." he begged. I stood up and started ransacking my closet, only to realize that I had less of his clothes than I thought; The hoodie and black sweatpants from the first party of our junior year (referring to ch. 1 or 2, idk, could be 3), the shirt and white sweatpants from

Asher's POV After that, Tamron started bringing different boys over everyday, I knew this was her way at getting over me so I gave her space, I avoided her durin breakfast, lunch and dinner. I avoided her practically every hour of the day, I didn't realize how lonely I was without our conversations and her flirty yet hurtful comebacks to everything. I soon started to miss her. I was walking in a different hallway, the path that strayed from the normal ones that everybody uses and I bumped into her. "Sorry." I said and turned to leave. "Asher," she called then shook her head, "nevermind." She walked past me. That was the last time we talked till the new semester was about to begin. The week before my first day in the new school, Richard ordered me to come down for breakfast. I walked into the dining hall and sat next to Ben. "Why aren't you eating?" Michael asked. "I'm not hungry." I said, staring at the table instead of

Asher's POVMy fifth first day of school, you'd think I would've gotten used to it by now. I stood infront of the full body mirror, knotting my tie, when Ben and Tamron walked in. They still hadn't talked since last time."It's time to go." they said in unison but you could tell it wasn't planned by the shocked looks on their faces.Ben rolled his eyes and walked out, followed by Tamron. I picked my bag and trailed behind them. I did the same when we got to school, I was the talk of the whole junior building, rumors started going around since before I even started at the school because of Ben and Tamron's friends. Apparently, there were assigned classes and Ben and Tamron had different classes than mine, I could just imagine Ben scowling, having to sit next to her.As soon as I walked into my class, silence took over and everyone's attentions were on me. Their eyes followed me as I went to the front of the class to introduce myself and when I was walking
