Claws And Flaws

~Chapter 16

HARLEY

We both chuckle at his lame joke as we climb off his car.

He rest his arm on my shoulder as we walk in school. "How are you feeling today?" He asks.

"Much better." I said.

"Good. I notice that." He says and I just widen my smile. We walked in and he followed me to my locker. "Luckily our first class is together."

"You mean English?" I asked letting out a little laugh.

"I prefer you call it our together class." He said before winking. The fool in me looks away and begins to blush.

I then nodded as I take out my book. None of them came to greet us not even Jax. I smiled at that thought. I felt like I could breathe when they are not around.

They needed to know their place.

I shut my locker and turn to Asher who is typing on his phone. We then moved to his locker. He took his book, even though he doesn't use it. I wonder how he would do in the exams when he doesn't seem serious about it.

The bell finally rings signaling the beginning of first period. We started heading to class.

***

It was finally the last class of the day. Surprisingly I didn't see Klein the whole day. Oh yeah, he was suspended. Also the rest of them did not bother me again. They don't even cross my path. Can my day get any better? Thanks to Asher over here.

We don't even sit on their tables anymore. Asher suggested we move back to where we used to seat. He still seemed mad at them.

I honestly do feel bad and felt like I am the one that cause a fight between two siblings. I felt like I'm the virus in this two siblings. They were cool with each other before I came. Now they fought all because I happen to be the problem.

I felt my eyes doing its waterworks. I never thought about it till now. It's not my fault right?

I thought as I wash my hands in the toilet sink. I then went over to the hand dryer. The toilet door opens and guess who got in...

Janine. Alone.

She walks straight up to me. I didn't fear her when she's alone because I could deal with her ass but when she's with her two minions of friends. I was on my own. I couldn't beat three when I'm only one obviously.

"Hi b***h!" She grins at me weirdly. I rest my hands on my waist as I stare at her.

"What do you want....slut?" I asked calling her the name she  so loved to call me.

"You cunning b-" She was about to slap me but of course I got hold of her wrist on the air before it could reach me. She looked at me a bit shocked then harshly took her hands off mine.

"All because of you Klein is suspended for a week. Thanks so much." She says angrily. I stare at her back angrily.

"It isn't my fault, you know you guys started it." I said.

She smirks at me. "You know this isn't over right?" She says then turns around leaving the toilet. Her last words made me speechless as I just stare at her, blankly. Don't let her get to you Harley.

She really just came to the toilet to talk to me? What a b***h.

***

I got home and sigh. My mum is not at home. No more screaming I'm back. I wonder how she's even coping at work. Luckily for her she's with Dad. She can spend more time with the love of her life. I smiled at the thought of that. They must be happy seeing each other every time now. I then let out a sigh as I slowly went up the stairs.

Few minutes later I came back downstairs and went to the kitchen to do myself some popcorn and busy myself with one of my favourite series.

***

"You haven't tell me about your parents." I said to Asher.

We are currently in my house. I decided to invite him over as I was getting bored and tired of being home alone.

So we are at the living room looking for something to watch in Netflix.

"Oh my parents." Asher says before moving forward to pick up the bowl filled with popcorn.

"Yeah, your parents." I repeated keeping my eyes on the T.V screen.

"Well they stay in Italy."

"You are an Italian?" I asked surprised.

"I am half Italian. My mum is an American while my Dad is Italian. So I'm also half American." He concluded as he nods.

"Wow that's cool. So both your parents are staying in Italy?"

"Yes, for years now." He nods.

"Then why are you in America?"

"My mum suggested I should also get to know more about her country too. So she concluded I should do my senior year in America."

"So this is your first time in America?"

"Nope. I come sometimes to visit my aunt and her family."

"Wow nice. How is it there in Italy?"

"It's sweet just as you are Harley. Now stop asking too much questions sweet cake and move closer." Asher says as he takes off his sky blue jean jacket and relax on the couch gesturing me over. I smiled moving closer to him from my seat.

He puts his arm on my shoulder as he pulls me more closer then lands a kiss on my temple. I couldn't take the smile off my face. His scent was so captivating, I didn't want to leave. 

I just noticed he actually does have a bit Italian accent. I noticed his accent was odd but I really didn't take real notice. But he has more of Italian than American for sure.

"Okay, I'm sorry." I said putting my hands up in surrender. We both chuckle.

What is this feeling that keeps growing inside me for him? I'm scared this feeling gets stronger. He obviously wants us to remain as friends.

I usually see in movies that the girl always has a friend to talk to and express how she feels about a guy and her friend advises her in return. I had no one to talk to and make me understand. No friends other than Asher. That would be weird asking him for advise about the strange feelings I have for him right? Yep, definitely.
