Chapter18

#Chapter18

I COULDN'T SEEM to shake off what Brianna and Jenna said to me. Did I really like Nick and I didn't even know it myself? Or were they just trying to gauge a reaction from me? These were the questions that kept running through my head as I aimlessly walked in the school hallways the next day.

I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I didn't notice Asher approaching until he slung his hand over my shoulder and pulled me into his side.

/"You scared me,/" I shrieked.

/"Where was your mind at?/" Ash asked as he led me to my first class, Civic Ed.

/"I was just thinking,/" I replied. /"Can I ask you something?/" I asked.

Asher stopped walking and so did I. He turned me so I was fully facing him. /"Sure, what's it? Does it have to do with what's bothering you?/" he asked looking concerned.
