LILY’S POV
He was distracted by peering at my reddened face and I took that as an opportunity to pry my bag from his loosened grip.
“I’m not blushing!” I stuttered out quickly. I placed my bag on my right shoulder and tucked away some of my tresses behind my ear.
“Sure you aren’t.” He said sarcastically while rolling his eyes,

My tucked hair left my bruised cheek to be exposed to his scrutiny. His big warm hand tenderly touched the sore spot. I squirmed uncomfortably as he glared at the bruised spot, then settled his hard glare on mine. They softened when he saw the nervous look I gave off. He then sighed before retracting his hand from my heated face.
I took that time to back away from him, that action didn’t go unnoticed by him because his face settled in indifference before he cleared his throat awkwardly.
“Uh I’m just gonna go.” I pointed at the door. He just nodded, keeping his gaze on my skittish frame.
“See you tomorrow!” I rushed out while quickly walking towards the door like my ass is on fire.
“Hey nerd.” Asher said, stopping me in my tracks. I turned around to face him, his head was slanted, making his dark loose curly hair sweep to the side. His blue eyes peered at me with a heated gaze making my stomach clench with an unfamiliar feeling. “See you tomorrow.” He said with a little smirk before sucking in his bottom lip between his teeth. That action had my heart racing and heat pooled at the bottom of my belly.
The atmosphere felt hot and tense as we stared at each other. I broke the heated moment when my eyes widened in realization. I’m aroused by just looking at Asher, and I could tell by the present moist feeling on my panties. Without saying another word, I stumbled my way out of the door. Closing the door with a soft thud I could hear Asher silent chuckling. He must be laughing at how ridiculous I looked just now.
Sighing, I made my way out of the building. The cool air softly smacked against my heated cheeks cooling it down. I looked at the sunset that gave a beautiful golden glow to the crowded streets, night time was quickly approaching. It wasn’t a long walk, maybe about ten minutes to my dorm, but I was feeling lazy to walk today. With a muttered curse, I stomped my foot childishly as I got on my way.
As I reached my dorm room, I could hear laughter inside, Sonia must have company. With an annoyed sigh, I opened the door fully expecting what I was going to witness.
Her copper colored hair bounced around as she swiftly turned around to face me. Her emerald eyes settled on my face, squinting to make sure it was me.
The bitch must be high.
“Woah, what happened to your face!” She said cackling with the edgy looking guy that was beneath her. I removed my shoes, ignoring them. Thank god they were clothed.
His shoulder length disheveled dark hair sprawled on the flowered pillow under his head. His black, beady eyes stared at me with a hidden sinister gleam. Tattoos ran up his skinny arms and stopped underneath his neck. His aura screamed “dangerous,” and I wondered what Sonia was doing with a guy like that.
“Never thought you could get uglier than you already were.” Her words didn’t surprise me, they were a continuous routine. I ignored her and walked towards the tiny fridge in the far left corner. I opened it, already expecting that the stuff I bought was already eaten.
It was always like this, I bought food and necessities but that was only to Sonia’s benefit since she’s the one who eats everything and leaves nothing in return for the owner, who was me. I could hear her softly whisper to the guy as I looked at the only apple I was left with. I grabbed it and took a huge bite, savoring the sweet juicy taste of the red fruit. I closed the fridge door roughly, causing it to rattle.
I didn’t spare a glance at the couple as I walked towards my bed and settled myself in an upright position and continued to chew on the apple. I felt their stares on me but I refused to acknowledge them. When I was done eating the apple 1 threw the core into the small bin that was at the end of the room.
Score!
I laid back onto my soft comfortable bed and pulled the covers over my body. My thoughts got occupied by Asher as I stared blankly at the dark varnished wooden ceiling. His face was the last thing in my mind before I drifted off to sleep.

Chapter 244
I woke up some time later to the room door being opened and the light being switched on. Whoever it was, stumbled in. Opening my eyes tiredly, I lift up my head to get a better look at the person. It was Sonia, maybe coming back from a party or god knows where. Her once silky hair was now frizzy in a disheveled mess. Her dress barely reached her thighs, leaving little to the imagination and she really smelt of weed and alcohol.
Her feet tripped over one another as she knocked down one of her breakable ornaments when she tried to balance herself. With a silent curse, she tried to clean it up but later gave up. Letting out a groan, I got up to help her. Not like she would do the same for me, I thought sarcastically. I put her arm on my shoulders and guided her heavy weight to her messy bed.
She fell on the bed with a loud thud and rolled her eyes at me. Was I the one who told you to get drunk? I rolled my eyes back at her and left her alone to clean up the broken ornament.
When I was done, I went to turn off the lights and went back to bed, my head hit my pillows softly. Yawning out because of exhaustion my eyes fluttered closed. I was almost lost in a peaceful slumber when I heard her get off the bed and vomit on the floor. I cringed at the sound and pungent smell of barf. Damn, I might have to clean that up tomorrow, I’m too exhausted to do it now.
With that thought in mind, I drifted off to sleep.
