Part 6- By My Side

Ya Allah! Do we really need to deal with him so early in the morning?!

Ayla looked mad but ended up going in the back and sitting beside Miran. Well, what a coincidence.

I wanted both of us to be together before we get separated once on site as we would follow our respective teams but this jerk ruined it for me. I glared at him and then turned my head towards the window. Why does he have to sit beside me?

"You'd better stay by my side during this whole trip" he suddenly said.

"What?!" I asked not believing what he just said.

Who does he think he is?!

"You heard me right," he said.

"You do know that we are a team right? And, the food will be given to us so I don't get why I should stay stuck to you?" I said frustrated.

"Shut up" he replied.

UGH!!!

Whatever, this was expected. He's going to ruin this whole trip for me by being a pain in the ass and there's nothing that I can do about it because it's always his way no matter what.

I played games on my phone for a while and soon fell asleep.

I suddenly woke up when I felt someone poking my head. I turned my head on my side and saw Aslan looking on the other side.

It can't be him right? Who was poking me just now? Was it in my dream?

I pushed those thoughts away and stood up to grab my backpack. I'm hungry now as I didn't have breakfast so early in the morning but I did think of bringing snacks with me.

"Can you move a bit? I just need to get my bag" I asked Aslan.

He stood up instead and grabbed my bag for me but just as I was about to grab it from him, the bus passed over a bump on the road which led me to fall back on my chair with Aslan on top of me. His arms were on both sides of me caging me. I gasped as my eyes got wide and my face red like a tomato. He stared at me for a while before moving away and taking his seat.

My face is burning. Why am I reacting this way?

I opened my bag and took out a bag of chips.

"Is it good?" he asked me.

"Yeah," I avoided eye contact after what just happened. All of a sudden, he snatched the bag from me and began eating my chips.

"What are you doing?!" I can't believe this guy!

"It's pretty good" he commented.

"Give it back, I'm hungry," I said.

"Oh come on, you eat enough look at you" Asshole!

"I'm still hungry so give it back" I demanded.

He ignored me and kept eating my food. I hate him so much—I just want to throw him off this bus for once and for all so he can leave me alone!

The rest of the ride, he kept annoying me by making mean comments about the games that I was playing on my phone. Calling me childish and foolish and not letting me take another nap. Like I predicted, a pain in the ass.

When we finally reached the site, everyone got off the bus. When I stepped out, I noticed Ayla and was going to join her when Aslan grabbed onto my arm stopping me from leaving.

"What is it now?" I asked him pissed.

"I told you to stay with me" he reminded.

"I'm not staying with you at all," I said jerking his hand away from my arm and joining Ayla.
