I slipped on a flannel that had 'idiot' printed on the back of it. I went over to where my jewelry and accessories were and grabbed two chokers and an earring that had a clip that would clip around my cartilage, a chain following it till it reaches the feather earring. I put on the plastic choker on first, then the rope choker that had a single silver charm on it. I put on the earring and lastly slipped on my black ray ban's JA-JO sunglasses on.

I walked over to my sock drawer and pulled out a pair of black ankle socks, slipping into them, then slipping into my black boots. I grabbed my stuff and bounding down the stairs, seeing Eli washing his bowl in the sink. "Hey, you gonna eat breakfast?" He asked me. I shook my head, looking down at my phone seeing we only had 20 minutes left. "Come on." I told him. He nodded, grabbing his bag and phone, leaving the house after me, making sure he locked the door before heading towards his car while I went towards my bike.

Since Eli was on the football team alongside with the boys, he would have to stay after school for practices and I couldn't stay behind since I usually take my after school time to go train. "See ya there." I told him, winking at him from behind my sunglasses. He got into his car, which reminded me I had to pay the bills that were piling up on my desk in my room. I sighed, rubbing my forehead but pulled out of the driveway after Eli was already halfway down the street.

When I pulled up into a parking lot I got off, shutting the engine and bending down to unstrap my bag from the bike. When I stood right side up I felt two warm arms wrap around my waist and a chin resting on my shoulder. I rolled my eyes, dropping my backpack on the ground so I grab his hands that were clinging to each other around my bare stomach. "Hey, baby." He whispered in my ear, giving me a kiss on my cheek. I turned around in his arms so I could wrap my arms around his neck. I stepped on my tippy toes and gave him a chaste kiss on the lips.

He pecked my lips a few more times with a smile each time he removed his lips from mine. He groaned after the last kiss, looking down at me. "I missed you so much yesterday baby. You know how horrible it is to not be able to hold your girlfriend or kiss her?!" He asked dramatically which made me chuckle and smack his chest playfully. "Mm, I'm so sorry babe, I didn't feel like coming to school so I skipped out on it." I told him which made him roll his eyes.

"You should have told me, I would have come by and we could've hung out." He said pouting. I softly bit his bottom lip that was out and pulled it, before my teeth released it. "I'm sowwy baby." I said, fluttering my eyelashes and sticking out my bottom lip which made him bite down on his bottom lip groaning. "I could never stay mad at you babe." He said which made me nod. "Good, now let's go. I got friends to inform about me appearing at school today." I told him, my left hand clasping his right hand while my right hand was bringing my backpack up, the strap landing my shoulder.

I tucked my right hand in my pocket, trying to hide my arm from him. Thankfully the gauze was sticking out since I had the sleeves rolled down and buttoned. I dragged him to the spot where my friends and I would usually meet and everyone's conversation came to a halt the second I arrived with my hand clasping Jordan's. "Ashley... Who's this?" Eli asked, raising his eyebrow at me, his arms crossed over his chest, trying to play the intimidating older brother, even though he wasn't that much older than me. He was actually only 15 minutes older. "Eli, this is Jordan, my boyfriend. Jordan, baby, this is my brother Elijah, and these are the guys I love like my brothers. That's Nathan, Sammy, and Luke. My friends Cindy, Chloe, Tiffany, and Samantha. Lastly, this is the girl who I grew up with since birth, my best friend and basically my sister Jenny." I pointed to each of them.

"Guys, like I said to Eli, this is my boyfriend Jordan." I said to them. I could see the mixtures of emotions here. I saw the overprotectiveness and hatred coming from Nathan, Eli, and Jenny. Luke was obviously protective but not as much as them. Happiness and excitement came from Chloe, Tiffany, and Samantha. Lastly, Cindy and Sammy radiated curiosity. Jordan smiled and extended his hands to the Samantha first, making her smile and shake his hand. Next was Chloe and she did the same as Samantha and so did Tiffany.

When Jordan's hand went towards Cindy, she stared at it for a bit, before hesitantly shaking it. Jordan extended his hand towards Jenny and the first thing she did was slap it away from her. Her eyes narrowed in on him and her eyes grew dark.

"Listen baka, I don't trust you and I don't like you. Deal with it. You hurt my best friend, and I swear this on my love for V, I will most DEFINITELY kill you, but not before torturing you slowly, and trust me, it won't be just me. You see these people, this is only a small amount of people that care and love about Ashley, so expect a big ass group on your tail if you hurt her." Jenny threatened which made me sigh and rub my forehead. (Baka means idiot, stupid, or fool in Japanese and no, Jenny isn't Japanese if you're curious. Don't know if I stated it earlier but Jenny is actually Mexican)
