He Doesn't Remember Me

Chapter Twenty-Two

"The problem is...I don't know how to, you know..... Ask him out." She said with an uncomfortable, shy smile.

Awww, she's blushing again.

"You know, say hi, talk to him for a while about some random stuff and then bam...ask him if he's free this weekend," Zack replied with a shrug like it's the easiest solution.

Boys!

"No dummy, she can't just ask him out like that. First, she has to confirm his feelings." I tilt my head to the side to roll my eyes at him.

He pouted.

Damn! He bloody well knows I can't control myself when he pouts.

"I swear if you don't stop making googly eyes at each other, I'll scratch your face with my recently sharpened nails." Kate gave us a threatening look and claw the blackboard with her nails to demonstrate their effect.

"You should just make him jealous," Jina proposed after thinking for a while.

"I tried it a few days back but it didn't work. Asking you guys is my last option." Kate said with a deflated sigh.

How long has she been trying to woo him?

"Why didn't you tell us before?" I asked her with a pointed look.

"Have you met yourself?" She threw her hands in exaggeration. "You all would be haunting me with your never-ending puns by now, then." She huffed and plopped on the teacher's desk.

Ok, that's true.

"You know, you should try seducing," I told her seriously while rubbing my chin.

"Ashley, I'm not going to invite him inside the closet for 12 minutes in heaven." She glared at me with a red face and I know from just her expression that she's thinking about being with Tyler inside a closet.

"No, no....not that." I waved my hand to brush off her statement. "I mean; holding his hand, hugging him tightly or even a kiss on the cheek will give you enough information," I explained everything slowly and told her that if he blushes but didn't pull away, it means he's enjoying it too.

I shared all the things I learned from Google when I was in the same situation with Zack.

"And you are sure it'll work?" She asked nervously.

"Oh, it'll definitely work." Zack piped in and gave me a fake glare.

Uh-oh.

He realised what I did back then. He should really punish me with a little spanking.

Control yourself, Ashley.

Oh, I would, if I could.

"But how do I approach him?" Kate asked and start pacing around the class.

"What do you mean?" Jina asked with a confused expression.

"I mean, I can't just barge into his personal space uninvited to start some irrelevant conversation. I need some excuse so I can talk to him." Kate explained with a frown and then start to pace again.

"Hmmm, point," I replied with a sigh and then bobbed my head in agreement.

"Leave it to me," Derik said with a proud look and strolled towards the blackboard with a chalk in his hand.

Derik explained his full proof plan to us for the next fifteen minutes.

"That was.....actually good." My voice was barely audible because I didn't expect this plan to spill out of Derik's mouth.
