Chapter One

Chapter 1

Asher.

     Everyone was trying to get me as theirs. They don’t know my secrets, They don’t know who my heart is reserved for. They wish they could have me. But I want Jae. I don’t care who says, “That’s a sin, you f****t.” They can all go to hell. I don't care if I’m a popular guy, I’m f****n’ gay. I can’t be open about it, though.

     I love him so f*****g much, but I say I like girls and I don’t like guys. I like only one guy, actually, and that's Jae. But no way in f*****g hell will I ever tell him. I have to bully him, or else I'm not “normal”. Whatever that means. 

     The clock reads 05:56 AM. I have a half hour before I actually have to get ready, but I don’t give a s**t. I wanna get out of my s****y house with my f*****g prostitute mom and abusive drunkard dad. I quickly change into my uniform and add a few quirks to it to make it more unique. I slip on my buckled boots and silently leave my household with a bagel in hand. 

     I light a cigarette when I get to school, waiting for my friends. 

     “Ash. Hey.” Jasper yells, running to me and stumbling over his overly large shoes, hand-me-downs from his brother. I crush the cigarette and ruffle his hair.

     “Heyo, dorkus” He’s the only popular kid who’s also a nerd.. How did a nerd get popular you may think? He’s my best friend. I’ve known this dumbass since pre-school, when your social status or how much money your parents made didn’t matter. I know all his secrets, and he knows all mine, even about Jae.  The bell rings, and we go to school. 

     Despite breaking almost all the rules in school, I’m rarely late to class and always have top grades so my retard parents don’t suspect anything. Drunkards and prostitutes care about grades apparently. I go to my seat, second in class as always. Jae is first, no matter what. I sneak a few glances at him while I finish up my homework. Kids start flooding into the classroom, talking loudly. I put away my work, waiting for the teacher to start giving directions. My teacher is Mrs. Katze. She’s a fairly young teacher, she’s fun, kind, and she’s really pretty. She’s around 23, no older than 25. 

     “Settle down, class. We’re doing partner projects for this unit assessment,” Mrs. Katze said. Instantly, the room erupts into excited chatter and people pointing at others.  “Okay, guys. We already have partner assignments, since last project you guys proved to me that you cannot handle picking your own partners,” she sighed and started saying partner names. 

      “Henry and Amy, Jasper and Holland,” Jasper instantly looked so happy, since Holland is his girlfriend. I was glad for him, but my chances of getting someone I know and genuinely like is low, since my whole class is mainly incompetent geeks.

     “Ash and Jae.” I panic. I can’t be in the same classroom with him without hurting him mentally or physically, let alone in the same room in a close proximity without being a b***h towards him, and now I find out we’re going to have to do the project together.
