OUR JINXED SOUL

ASHER.

7:10am

Asher woke up with a massive headache but he just ignored it since he had gotten used to it, he knows that what he's doing is unhealthy but he couldn't careless, he's the type of person who doesn't study but is always on-top of his class, magic? no one knows. He's also the type of person ho absolutely despite coffee, he just couldn't get why people obsess over something so bitter, he doesn't have any friend other than June, she was the one who gave him the fake ID for a birthday party in the club, they met when they were in middle school ,Asher looked 'cute' back then with his rectangular glasses, atleast that's how June describes him.

He has always been alone and isolated from the other kids, one reason is that he's half Filipino, he doesn't get it either, they say they don't like how brown his skin color is yet there are other kids who's darker than him, he was sad because he really wanted to make friends in high-school, he lived in America all his life and only visited the Philippines for Christmas and New-years, he got bullied in high-school just because of who he is, he was young and innocent, he got depressed when his dad died and never got therapy because of their financial problems, the only property they own is their house and some thousands left from his dad's bank account, his mother have to work 2 jobs to provide him college, he's also an only child, because his dad died when his mom was a few months pregnant, she chose to abort te child because of their financial issues, it was had for the both of them to move on, Asher always wanted to have a younger sister but he just respected and supported his mother's decision, maybe that's why his social skills sucks

He met June when she 'confessed' that he liked him, he didn't know what to do so he straight up rejected him by saying "I'm sorry i don't like you", he was so confused when June just laughed and told him that he really didn't like him, he just wanted to be his friend, because she noticed how smart and isolated he was.

"Ash! It's time to wake up na anak!" His mom shouted from downstairs,( anak means kid or their child) "i'm already awake!" he shouted back, he quickly got up realizing it's already late based on his room's natural lighting from the sun outside.

"s**t!" he exclaimed he looked at the clock and it's already 7:10am, he snoozed through the alarm he set for 6am" he quickly put on clothes that he picked up from the floor sniffing them checking if they smell, he ran downstairs with his bag still opened and quickly putting on his shoes on the doorstep, "you're not gonna eat anak?" his mother shouted from the kitchen, "Im late, do you have a sandwich?" he says as his mom drops the sandwich wrapped in foil in his open bag closing it after, "stay safe" she sayid, Asher kissed her in the cheeks and ran trhough the streets hoping he can catch the last bus that arrives at 7:20am.
