*on the previous chapter*

"L-Listen Ari, leave me alone. You're always in my way. Jesus, so annoying" he said

"How could you say that?! I can't believe you right now. You've practically become an alcoholic ever since she left the school!"

"Ari, I don't have time for your complaining. Just leave me alone ok. Now please get out of my way before I get mad." He says as he walks by me lightly bumping his shoulder with mine

Why does this happen to me?

ASHLEY'S POV:
It has almost been around 25 minutes since I got to class and Ari still hasn't arrived. I wonder what's wrong...

I suddenly hear someone knock the the classroom's door. I hope it's her.

"Come in" says our teacher

"Teacher, I'm so sorry for being late, please excuse me" she says in a shy tone

"Hm.. you've always been a good student, Ariana. I'm gonna let this one slide but next time you're late, you're getting a late slip" replied the teacher

"I understand. Thank you so much."

"Ariiii, where were you?" I ask with curiosity

"I-I was in the bathroom. I told you" she replied

"Oh um.. okkkk? Are you ok? Do you feel bad?" I ask her in a worried tone

"Yes I'm totally fine, don't worry about me. What about you? Are you feeling any better?" She asked

"Y-Yea.. I mean.. I guess so."

"Listen, you know you can count with me no matter what, Ash."

"I know... thank you"

I'm feeling a bit more calm now that the time has passed. But I'm still scared. Every time I go outside I just have the fear that he might pop up out of nowhere

The rest of the day was pretty normal. I took all of my classes and now it's time to leave

"I believe you're gonna let me take you home this time, right?" Said Ari

"Umm actuallyyyy not really haha" I tell her

"Ugh what do you mean?" She replies

"Johann is gonna pick me up."

"Johann?"

"Yea, Johann. My friend that I was talking to you about."

"Um...."

"That he used to be my neighbor.... nothing?"

"Oh yeaaa Johann. Wait you live with him?"

"Y-Yes... but no! It's not what you think."

"Right"

"My aunt didn't want me to stay home alone for all these months that she would be gone and he offered me to stay at his house in the mean time." I explain to her
