Asher's POV

I was surprised to find Brandon already gone when I woke up this morning, but then remembered that he has early morning training with the wrestling team every day. I was even more taken aback when he sat down next to me in my last morning class with a cautious smile. Once class was over, I invited him to join me for lunch, hoping that we could actually become friends. He accepted and followed me to the cafeteria.

Before I grabbed a tray, I glanced around hoping to see Ivy. I had intended on texting her, but didn't realize until I got to my first class that I had forgotten my phone in my room. Catching sight of her red hair outside on the patio, I tell Brandon I will be right back before making my way towards her. About 5 feet from the table, I suddenly hear a very loud burp. I bark out a laugh, surprised that such a sound could come from a girl.

She turns, looking embarrassed when she sees me. I make a joke about it, wanting to ease her discomfort and tell her that I invited Brandon. She seems shocked but doesn't protest so I head back inside to find Brandon and get some lunch. After grabbing a hamburger, french fries, and a bottle of water from the food line, I lead us out to the patio. I sit next to Ivy, with Brandon across from us. I notice that he looks very uncomfortable when I introduce them, but I ignore it.

I've just stuffed my last few fries in my mouth when I feel Ivy stiffen beside me before quickly looking around. She relaxes after a moment, and I follow her gaze to a huge, buff guy coming towards us. He is enormous. Like, maybe 6'6 and his muscles bulge as he stalks to our table.

^^Brock, AKA 'Huge Buff Guy'

I'm confused when Ivy stands, even more so after he says something I don't catch and Ivy rushes towards him. She walks right up to him and starts pushing him back until they are no longer in hearing range. I feel an intense rush of jealousy as I watch her touching him. He is what most girls drool over, and I know I have no hope of competing against him. The jealous thoughts don't last, however, as I notice that he isn't looking at her. He is staring straight at Brandon.
