Young Lies

54 ❥ the redo date

"You're crushing me fatty!" I groan while trying to shove off the giant on top of me.

"Not my fault you're so tiny." Asher laughs before finally rolling off of me.

"Fuck you." I laugh.

We're currently trying to watch a movie in his room but he keeps doing stupid shit to distract me.

Like laying on top of me.

I've been trying to cheer him up after everything that happened with his sister.

He told me everything about her dad and how he didn't tell her.

And as much as Asher is to blame, I think he never meant to hurt her, he just wanted to keep her safe.

No one else in our group has really talked to him-

Well, actually our group has been really weird recently.

Arya and Xander are still not talking.

Xander is mainly hanging out with Jess and Cam.

Arya hangs out with Oliver and sometimes she talks to Ryan and me.

Ryan hangs out with Madison and Lili.

And that just leaves Asher and me.

"Hey, isn't your birthday coming up?" He asks.

"Yep, in a week."

"What are you doing?"

"My dad and I usually spend it together."

"How about we throw you a party."

"I don't know..."

"Come on Lina! It'll be fun!"

"Let me think about it."

"Okay. Wanna go get food then?"

"Yes!"

"Let me get changed and I'll meet you downstairs." He says.

I nod before making my way downstairs.

"You must be Catalina?" I hear a deep voice ask from behind me.

I let out a small shriek before turning around to face him.

He has an unsettling smirk on his face.

"Sorry Mr.Phoenix, you scared me." I laugh.

"You are truly beautiful. I can see why my son talks about you so much."

He does?

"Oh uh thank you," I whisper.

"What are your intentions with my son?"

What?

"Excuse me?"

"I know about you. You received a full ride to Las Flores. So, what do you want from Asher, his money?"

"No! I genuinely like your son." I try to reassure him but he looks like he doesn't believe me.
