Chapter 3

• ♡ LILY’S POV ♡
• I glared at him " I'm done with you. I don't have to stay and listen to you,"
• I got ready to leave as I sidestepped him but got pulled back by a furious Asher. His grip wasn't bruising but it was firm enough to not let me escape easily.
• "And who said, I was done with you?" Asher asked fuming. By now there was a crowd forming around us, some already had their phones out ready to record us.
• "I don't care if you don't want to stay and listen, you will! "
• My back stiffened as my eyes scanned the many eyes who looked at us in interest. It disgusted me that none of them would stop him from bullying me.
• Yes, Asher's parents were the wealthiest in the country making him be praised daily without having to lift a single finger. And no matter how many rules he broke, he never got into trouble. It must be nice for him to be such a praised little shit.
• My attention was brought back to Asher and I looked at his hand that was wrapped around my wrist securely.
• "Let me go, or are you going to start physically abusing me now?" I asked him sarcastically. Asher had never physically abused me and I knew he wouldn't start now. I just wanted to rile him up and by the look on his face, it was working.
• He withdrew his hands as if I had just burnt him. His eyes softened a little before he covered it up with hatred. He was about to retort when the ringing of the bell cut him off.
• He smirked, " The bell just saved you little mouse." He reached out his hand to playfully tug softly on a strand of my hair in a mocking manner.
• I stepped away from him and without another word walked to class. I was the first one in class other than Mrs. Ramroch who I refer to as cockroach in my head. It was just a nickname I had come up with because of her surname.
• Her plump figure was slumped on her desk as she waited for the rest of the students. It was a wonder her temper hadn't risen as yet when she hadn't seen Asher enter. She was the only teacher who had a dislike for the pompous fool.
• But I must've talked too soon because he sauntered in, hands in his pockets as he chewed on a toothpick. Mrs. Ramroch's face morphed into anger as she scowled at him.
• "Nice of you to finally join us Grey." She vocalized. But Asher only rolled his eyes at her in annoyance before plopping himself down on a chair at the far back.
• She let out an angry sigh before hosting her glasses back on her nose. Her eyes scanned everyone before she got up to walk towards the front of the class.
• "Everyone I'm going to be pairing you up for this term project and yes I'm choosing your partner." Mrs. Ramroch announced. Well fuck my life.
• I waited with anticipation for the teacher to announce my name and my partner's. My hands became clammy as I feared of being partnered up with my worst nightmare.
• Really Mrs. Ramroch do we really need a partner for that stupid project? God, please don't make cockroach (Mrs. Ramroch) partner up Asher and I, that would be hell, and I had enough of it.
• Mrs. Ramroch started calling out the names, taking her time as the names rolled off her tongue.
• "Daphne and Connor," " Liz and Joe," Brad and Ellis" "Asher and Lily."
• I was doomed.
• But it couldn't be any more cliche than that.
