The weekend was boring. Saturday went sulking around since we were all hungover. and on Sunday Mom and Dad were home, so we had a game night. I was laying in bed, trying to get some sleep.

My door opened to see a shirtless Kyle. I rolled my eyes. "What do you want?" I asked. "I don't know, I am bored and can't sleep," He said as he lay beside me. "I know right," I sighed. "So why didn't you call Elina?" I asked. "She is asleep," he said. I nodded. "You love her don't you?" I asked. "With all my heart," he said. That made me smile.

"So when are you guys going to get married?" I asked playfully. He just rolled his eyes. We just talked about random things after that and my eyes felt heavy. I looked at Kyle to see him starting to fall asleep as well. I grabbed the blanket and pulled it over us going to sleep.

"See half the time they sleep in the same room and yet they fought to have different rooms," said a voice. I pulled the blanket over my head. But it was immediately pulled to the other side. I opened my eyes to see Kyle pulling it. I kicked his leg off me. "You big horse get off my bed!" I said trying to sleep. He purposely put his hand on my face. "Kyle!" I screamed. I kicked him off the bed but he pulled me down with him.

I groaned as my back hit the floor. "You kids are you going to be late," Mom said as she stood there and Dad beside her recording us.

Kyle groaned as he got up and offered me his hand. "You are forbidden from coming into my room," I said, getting up, and he left my hand making me fall again. He laughed as he started to walk, but I stuck out my leg, making him lose his balance and fall himself. And now it was my turn to laugh.

"Kids enough! Now get ready!" Mom shouted as she dragged Dad outside. I rushed to the bathroom to get ready.

"Do you have the same assignment as us?" Elina asked. "Yeah, and you know how much I hate the book!" I said, throwing my hands in the air. She gave me a small smile. "See you in Lunch Kiara!" she said as she walked the other way. I sighed. I didn't want to go to English!

I sighed as I entered the classroom, sat down at my desk and started to work on my paper. The seat next to me was pulled and a guy that I hadn't seen sat down. He smiled at me and I smiled back before going back to work. That's when I realized something that wants his seat!

"I am sorry, but this isn't your seat, right?" I asked. "Oh yeah, but I saw you sitting alone, so I thought why not," He smiled. "That's sweet of you but this seat is taken," I said. "I don't see someone sitting here," he said. "Are you new here?" I asked. "Yeah, I am Noah," he said smiling.

"Oh Hi I am-," "Kiara, Everyone knows who you are," he said. I laughed. "Right," I said. We heard a clearing of a throat and I looked up to see Asher. I smiled. But God he did not look happy. "See I told you this seat was taken. This is Asher," I said. Asher just glared at him with death written all over his face. While Noah was least bothered. "Sorry I thought you wouldn't show up just like before," he said looking at Asher. What is he talking about?

"Sorry I replaced you," Noah said as he smirked and got up. "See you around, Kiara," he said looking at me as he lightly kissed my hand and sat down in the other corner. What the -

Asher looked pissed he was about to walk away when I stopped him. "You are here today at least attend the class," I said as I grabbed his hand. He immediately took it away as if I burnt him but sat down nonetheless. The teacher walked in and started teaching Romeo and Juliet. Great!

As soon as the class finished, I got up, ready to leave when Noah walked towards me. "Hey, let me walk you to class," he said. I was about to deny the offer when Asher stood up and pulled me with him. "Sorry we have to be somewhere," I said as we left. We reached the hallway and took my hand out of his.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I asked. He just glared at me and walked away. He seemed to do that a lot lately. I sighed as I started to walk to my next class.

I was surprised to see Asher sitting at our table for lunch. I smiled as I got there. "Hey, the queen is here," Blake announced and everyone smiled at me. Well everyone except Asher.

"So what did I miss?" I asked as I sat down. "Where is your lunch?" Asher asked. "Ohh you don't know? She is on a strict diet where she doesn't eat. At all!" Kyle snapped at me. I sighed as I took out a sandwich that I made this morning.

I started eating it. They all got busy in a conversation about god knows what when I got a text.

Mommy Dearest: Going on a business trip again. See you in 2 days, darling Take care.

I looked up at Kyle as he looked at me, and we smiled. Party! He smirked. No, not the party that we went just a small get-together kind of thing. I nodded at him and he smiled. Elina looked at us. "Let me guess, Becca and Marcus are out of town?" she said. We nodded our heads. She laughed.

The bell rang. I kept my leftover sandwich in the box and was about to get up when Asher pulled me back down. "You aren't going anywhere unless you finish that," he deadpanned.

"And I should listen to you because?" I asked, raising my eyebrows. He looked at me for a moment. "You know what, I don't care, do whatever the fuck you do," he said, getting up and leaving. That's what I thought.

I waited at my locker going through my Instagram as I waited for Allisa. "So you want to invite them to the sleepover?" Kyle asked popping beside me. "I mean it's on you, I am not feeling like having a party," I sighed.

"Well they are cool we can invite them," He said. I nodded. Blake and Christian made their way towards us and Kyle called them over. "You guys want to come over to our house for a small get-together?" Kyle asked. Christain and Blake gave each other a look. "We would have to see if we have work. I will text you," Christian said as they all exchanged numbers.

Allisa ran towards me. "Today, we have cheer practice. Let's go!" she said as she pulled me with her. Great!

My body ached as I lay down on my bed. I need to take a shower, I thought as the smell of sweat hit me. I sighed as I walked over to the bathroom. I took my own sweet time as I washed my hair. I put on some cotton shorts and a black tank top.

I took out the hairdryer and started blow-drying my hair when I heard a knock on the door. Why would Kyle want to knock on the door? I sighed as I walked out of my room, and when I opened the door I was shocked to see Allisa. I squealed as I hugged her.

"Hey!" I said. She hugged me back. "Hi!" she laughed. "Elina said you guys were having a sleepover!" she said. I opened the door wider to let her in.

"Wow your room is awesome!" she said. I looked around. My room was what peopled called Instagram-ready. Beside the door that let me enter Kyle's room, I had this vanity where I kept clothes and a dressing table to the wall adjacent to it with two mirrors and baby pink and grey wallpaper.

I had my bed which was queen-sized. Opposite the bed was my study table which was adjacent to the main door of my room.

"Well, what can I say," I laughed. "Where does this door lead to?" she asked. I grinned as I opened the door which led to Kyle's room. There was no one inside, which I am glad because I didn't want her to meet a half-naked Kyle.

She peeked in, and after that, I closed the door. "Wow, you guys are so lucky! This is amazing!" she said. I just laughed. "Well, at least you have company. I have no siblings around my brother is in college!" she said. "Make yourself at home, I will just blow out this half," I laughed. She nodded as she sat down on the bed.

I quickly ran to the bathroom and low-dried the rest of my hair. My phone buzzed as I put everything back in place.

Loverboy Christian: See you at 6

I smiled.

Me: Ooh, by the way, Allisa is here ;)

Loverboy Christian: And I should care because?

I rolled my eyes.

Me: Ohh so you don't like her?

Loverboy Christian: No...

Me: Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Loverboy Christian: Anyways, Ash is not coming.

Me: I don't remember inviting him

Loverboy Christian: Whatever helps you sleep at night

I left him on reading and went back outside.

"So Christain and Blake are also coming..." I said, trailing off.

She smiled. "Wow, no blushing today?" I asked. She just chuckled.

"Wait a minute, Is Asher not coming?" she asked. I just shook my head as I started to look for a movie on Netflix. "Wow, and you don't care?" she asked. "Why should I? I mean he is not my friend. He has made that clear," I said as I clicked on High School Musical. "Well you are the only girl he talks to...." she trailed off.

"What do you mean he also talks to you and El-" I stopped. She just smirked as she increased the volume. I sighed now I was confused.

Twenty minutes into the movie Eline walked in and sat down with us. We sang along to the songs and there were very audible awws.

The doorbell rang, and I got up. I walked downstairs to see Kyle playing video games and shouting at the screen. I rolled my eyes. I opened the door to be met with green eyes. I just stared at him. Just when I was about to ask him something I noticed the cut on his arm. I pulled him in and into the kitchen, and Kyle was too busy to notice.

"What the heck happened?" I asked. He just looked at me as he sat down on the barstool. I quickly took the medical box out. "Take off your jacket," I demanded. He looked at me and I just glared at him. I helped him take it off when I realized too much blood had flown.

My eyes widened. As I grabbed cotton and alcohol to clean the cut. What was surprising was that he didn't even flinch. "Asher, the cut is deep I think you should go to the hospital," I said as I grabbed another cotton ball. "It's fine," he muttered. "Can you for once please listen to me?" I asked.

I threw away the cotton. "Do you have the equipment to stitch it up?" He asked. I looked at him with wide eyes. "No, you are not!" I whisper-shouted at him. He just grabbed the box. Oh, My God! I turned around as soon as the needle touched his skin.

"Let him be okay. Let him be okay," I whispered to myself. After a minute or two I felt him standing behind me a white patch on the area. I looked at him wide-eyed.

"You aren't going to tell, are you?" I asked. "You are a smart girl, Angel," he said. I just glared at him and walked out. The doorbell rang again and Christian and Blake stood there with pizza boxes in hand. I smiled at them letting them in.

"I thought you said he wasn't coming!" I hissed at Christian. "Well, you want to throw him out, your highness?" Blake asked. I just ignored them as I called the girls down. There was rushing down the stairs and Kyle looked up from his video games. He walked up and did the bro hug thing with the guys.

We all sat down on the couches. As I grabbed some other snacks from the kitchen. "It was just a small car accident," Asher said telling Kyle. Yeah sure. Kyle nodded completely believing his utter nonsense.

"So what do you guys want to do?" I asked sitting down. "Let's go to the game room," Elia suggested. "You also have a game room?" Allisa asked. "I'll give you a house tour later," I said laughing. "Let's just go there we just installed a huge screen so we can watch a movie," I said as I picked up the snacks. Kyle grabbed his PS5 and Elina grabbed the blankets and pillows. We walked down the stairs to what Mom liked to call 'Batcave' I laughed remembering it. It was so dark and messy in there.

Blake put his hand over the shoulder. "You saw Ash's arm?" He whispered. "Yeah, car accident," I said rolling my eyes. "What do you think it was?" He asked. "Why does it matter, if he doesn't want to tell me then I will stay out of it," I said as we reached the last step.

"This is so fucking cool!" Christian said. "Just like ours," Blake nodded in agreement.

I placed the snacks on the table and as soon as Kyle pugged in the PS5 I grabbed the controller. "Girls vs Boys," I said. They looked at me laughing. Kyle just smirked. He was the one who taught me. "You know what Blake since you snorted and find it funny, try and beat me," I said sitting down. Elina and Allisa cheered.

"What will get if I win?" he asked. "Whatever you want," I replied. "Okay, easy af. If I win I get a kiss and if I lose I will buy you your favourite food for a week," he said. I smiled happily. He grabbed a controller and sat down. He chooses a game, and I looked at him in agreement.

The girls stood beside me and started cheering for me. I looked at Asher who was looking at me. " Do not lose," he mouthed. I smirked. Oh, he would wish I lost.

It was a car racing game. Little did he know how good I was at it. At the start, I was in the lead and soon he took over me but then I smirked just as we were 200 m away from the finishing line I increased my speed using my boost and crossed him easily winning.

There was a lot of shouting as El and Allisa came and hugged me. "So Blake Caramel Frappuccino every morning and Ice-cream after school," I smirked. "You knew you are a pro in that game," he said sulking. "It's okay pretty boy. Just remember my Starbucks order," I said grabbing a Coke bottle.

I sat down and we decided to watch a movie. Everyone settled on Transformers. Quater way through the movie I looked up from my pillow to see Allisa slowly falling asleep on Christian, Elina, and Kyle cuddling. Asher is texting on his phone, and Blake hogging the pizza.

I quietly stood up and walked out of the basement with the blanket still wrapped around me. I walked outside towards the pool and sat down placing my legs slowly inside the pool. I looked up at the moon. It was so peaceful.

I felt someone behind me. "Hi Ash," I said without looking. "What are you doing up here?" He asked as he sat down beside me but didn't put his legs in as he had black jeans on.

I pulled the blanket closer. "I don't know, I feel nice here. I feel at peace looking at the sky," I said. He looked at the sky. "What are you so guarded about Asher?" I asked. "It's non-" he started. "I know it's none of my business. But look at yourself you look like you just killed someone or you want to kill someone," I said glancing at him. He just hardened his glare at the sky his hand forming a fist.

"Asher I don't know you that much and I know I don't have the right to judge you. But please listen to what I have to say and in the end, you decide to make. I know you think that you are this mean big bad alpha or something. And you might be. But what I have observed is that you don't want people to be in your life or be a part of it either. Look I don't know what has happened or what has made you like this but you deserve to be happy. You deserve to have people around you who care for you.

I mean look at Blake and Christian they care for and you know that. I don't know anything about you guys but I can see that they would give their life for you. You just need to give people a chance," I said. There was silence and I looked at him staring up at the sky and for the first time, I saw only peace in his eyes. No anger and No rage. But in seconds it was gone. He looked at me.

"For someone who says she doesn't have the right to judge me. You do judge me a lot. You seem to say that I am not happy. I am satisfied with whatever I do. I do not feel the need to show or express it to anyone and especially you. Blake and Christian are my family and they will always be. But I do not fu*king want anyone else in my life. I don't care if I deserve it or not.

People need to stay away from me because I do not care for anyone," he said looking at me angrily.

I placed my hand gently on his. "I do not know about you Ash but looks to me that you think people don't deserve you. They decide to make whether or not to keep you in their life. I know this is a worthless argument to have with you since you want to be this lonely soul. I just want to help you and be friends with you. I am not asking you to marry me," I said as I took my legs out of the water.

"I told you I do not want anyone in my life. Get that through your thick head. Friendship isn't for me," he said getting up and walking away. I heard the main door open and close with a bang. I sighed as stared at the sky. I just want him to come out of whatever past he is living in and be friends with me.

"You should just try to act normal with him. If he wants, he will let you know about his past," said a voice. I turned around to see Blake standing there. "How long have you been here?" I asked. "Long enough to know you want to marry my best friend," he said laughing. I rolled my eyes.

"But if he doesn't open up about it. How will he get out of it?" I asked. "Kiara he is not one of your charity children from the organization. He is a tough one to crack and if you want him to be friends with you you need to start over yourself. Be nice to him and stop giving him this philosophical shit. Cause he will give you more of that on his end. All I have to say is that he will be your best friend only if you let him in too," he said as he started to walk away.

"Wait! How did you know about the organization?" I asked. "I did some background research on you little girl. I do not want my best friend's wife to be some stalker," he said as he walked inside the house leaving me in my thoughts.
