BXBX NOVEL Chapter 62 - Latest Gossip
Megan\'s POV
"Hey, can you tell me about the adventure that you had with your prince charming yesterday? You didn\'t even answer all my text messages. I understand you were busy with your date." Alice said the moment we met at the entrance of the Academy. I still feel lightheaded because of the date I had with Ashton yesterday, and last night I found it so hard to sleep because I couldn\'t stop thinking about him. And the things we did together, and I was touching my lips almost the entire night because I can still feel the heart kisses that we have shared.
"Hey, lower your voice," I said as we walked on the school grounds and made our way to the library.
"Hey, it is okay, and you need to relax. I didn\'t mention any name, so you are still safe." My best friend said, and then she giggled.
"It was perfect, and we had fun together," I said.
"And I know there is more, I can see how your eyes twinkle, and you need to tell me everything, Megan." She said, and I blushed.
"You did it?" She asked, and my eyes widened at her.
"No, not yet," I said as I tried to lower my voice, and I couldn\'t stop myself from thinking how it felt when Ashton touched me.
"He said he can wait, and when I am ready," I added, and Alice\'s face softened.
"Oh, Megan, Ashton is such a gentleman, and I think I am falling for him as well." She said, and I laughed with her words.
"Kidding aside, you are so lucky to have him, Megan, and if before I didn\'t love the idea that you will
date him, now that I know about it, I realized he is different from the other guys here in the academy, you know what I mean." She said, and I nodded my head at her since I understood what she meant.
The moment we got inside, Oscar was already waiting for us, and by the way he looked at us, I could tell right away he had some fresh gossip for us, and I couldn\'t stop myself from feeling so thrilled about the latest news around campus.
"Hello, girls!" He greeted us excitedly, but I know he kept his voice down as possible.
"I have news. Have you seen Ashton\'s posts on his social media account?" He asked, and I shook my head immediately since I didn\'t follow him; besides, I don\'t have time browsing my phone to look at my social media account. I haven\'t opened it recently; besides, I only have few followers like members of my family and my two friends.
"Me too. I was busy last night." Alice answered, and then Oscar looked at me.
"What?" I asked, and I suddenly felt so worried, but I am sure Ashton will never post our pictures together on his posts, and I can feel my hands and legs trembling.
"I am afraid if I show his post to you, you will break down, but I am telling you, you don\'t need to worry, Megan, because there was no picture of the girl. He just said I am in love with my girl!" He said, and everyone in school got so crazy, and they are so excited to know who is this girl?" Oscar declared, and I couldn\'t stop myself from smiling, and he got it right away. Oscar covered his mouth.
"So, you are the girl?" He asked, and I nodded my head.
"We had a wonderful date yesterday," I said, and I showed them our pictures together at the lake.
"Oh, girl, I am so envious of you, now he is professing his love for you on his social media account, and someone asked him why he didn\'t post the picture of his girlfriend, Ashton replied on the comment, "when she is ready.", I couldn\'t believe you, Megan, why do you want to keep your relationship with him a secret?" Oscar asked, and I looked at him in his eyes.
"Oscar, you have seen how much I suffered the last time we showed everyone that we are a couple, my locker had been vandalized, I lost my job, and I had to swim in a swimming pool wearing the maid\'s uniform. I am proud of my work, Oscar, I am not ashamed if I have to work as Lauren\'s maid, but she humiliated me in front of our classmates and schoolmates. I can\'t retake the same
path." I replied, and his face softened.
"Of course, I understand you, Meg." He said.
"But you must know Lauren and her friends commented." He said, and I looked at him, and he smiled at me.
"And that is for later because it is almost time, and we need to go, or else we will be late for our first period," Oscar said, and we all stood up and walked fast to the door. We ran to our classroom, and I was panting when we got inside our room. I wanted to look around to see Ashton, but I was nervous to see him after I learned about his post, and I am so excited about it. And I have heard him say he loves me, but I never expected him to put it on his social media account.
I couldn\'t stop feeling uneasy because whether I liked it or not, I had to face him. After all, he is my partner. We needed to present it together in front our the class, and when our teacher told us to move and looked for our partner before I could even move my head, I felt Ashton beside me, and I couldn\'t control the trembling of my hands as I remember the sweet moments we had. The way his hands touched the sensitive parts of my body that drove me nuts. And I hate myself that I couldn\'t stop myself from thinking about it, and I love to relive that moment, and I wished we could do something like that soon.
"Hi, Megan!" He greeted me, and his voice made me raise my head, and when I looked at him, he was smiling at me, and his perfect white teeth reminded me of how perfect, he is in my eyes. I couldn\'t stop myself from smiling back at Ashton.
"Hello, Ashton, are you ready for our report?" I softly asked the moment he sat beside me.
"Yes, and I am very excited." He said, and he got his notebook, and he scribbled something, and he let me read it, and I smiled at what I had seen on his notes.
"I missed you, Meg, so much." He said through his writing on his notebook, and I couldn\'t stop myself from feeling excited as I wrote back, and if our classmates look at us, they will think we are writing about our project.
"I missed you too, Ashton," I replied to his note, and he smiled when he read my answer, and then my boyfriend wrote again, and this time he put his notebook in front of me.
"I want to see you tonight. Can I come and pick you up at the fish shop?" He wrote, and I wrote back immediately.
"Me too, I want to see you, and I want to taste your red lips," I said, and he grunted as he read
my reply and I am trying my best to keep myself from giggling.
"Yeah, I want to kiss you, Megan, all of you." He wrote back, and I can feel my entire body turned so hot, and I know we are now teasing each other, and I can feel the excitement all over my body. The moment our teacher called our name, Ashton stood up right away, and I still felt dizzy about our conversation in his notebook.
And as expected, we nailed it, and we got the highest score, and I can\'t stop myself from feeling so happy that we did it. And I know Ashton wanted to hug me, but he refrained from doing because we agreed to keep our relationship secret as of the moment. And how I wish I had the freedom to show him that I care for him. And I felt so guilty because he was doing this for my sake. He ignored me totally as if we didn\'t know each other, he only spoke with me regarding our report, and I can tell the girls are so happy that Ashton didn\'t give me extra attention.
I felt so glad our class was over, I heard the girls called Ashton\'s name, and I didn\'t raise my head because I didn\'t want to feel affected; besides, he would see me later after my work.
"What???? I asked in disbelief as Oscar continued to tell us about the challenge; those girls commented on Ashton\'s wall as we ate our lunch under the big tree, which is our favorite spot.
"Yeah, they were all asking if Ashton\'s girl is real. They commented she should be proud of him and not hide him as if he is not the most popular guy in our Academy. They challenge his girlfriend to watch his game this coming Saturday if she feels the same way towards him." Oscar replied, and my eyes got so big.
"Now, if you are real Megan, and if you are proud of him, I think it is about time you should come to Ashton\'s game and wear his jersey." He said, and my mouth hung open. How can I watch his game? I was shaking my head as I looked at my friends, horrified. I have never watched a football game before.
"I think Oscar has a point, Megan, you should be proud of him, and I think this time you can read it, open your social media account once in a while, Meg, so you should know what is going on with the world," Alice added.. I hate that she is with Oscar this time, and I couldn\'t help but pout my lips as I played with my fork, and I know at the back of my head I want to do it to make Ashton knows I really care about him.
