Chapter 273
LILY’S POV
I felt the air leave my lungs as his eyes stared directly at me. Shifting in my seat uncomfortably, I reverted my eyes to stare at the teacher sh scowling at the interruption. Niall, who must’ve seen our exchange, chuckled in amusement.
I bit my lip when I saw Asher walking towards us in angry strides. As soon as he was near, he dropped his bag down on Miall’s desk.
“You’re in my seat.” He seethed, gaining the attention of everyone including me.
“Didn’t know this chair had an owner.” Niall said sarcastically. It seemed to agitate Asher more as he balled his hands into fists
“Get the fuck off my chair!” Asher all but growled out. The veins in his neck are ready to pop out. When i felt that he was taking things too far, I decided to step in.
“Asher please, just get another seat, you’re being a little dramatic.” I whispered to him. I must have been a little bit louder since I heard gasps around Clearly everyone was surprised at my response to Asher. Not sparing me a glance, he took his bag and roughly walked away and sat next to Snelly, who was smiling in satisfaction.
“What crawled up his ass and died?” Niall grumbled, making my focus avert on him. His hands were folded as he glared at nothing in particular.
“He’s just having a bad day, I guess.” I shrugged, trying to seem nonchalant. I guess it didn’t work because Niall turned towards me with a raised eyebrow. He searched my eyes before smirking.
“Sounds like you know him.” He teased.
“Uh, well, we were friends.” I whispered for his ears only. Yeah, friends don’t make love to each other, Lily. My conscience reminded me.
“Looks like you guys were more than friends.” Niall snorted out before giving the teacher his full attention. The statement made me blush and I tried discreetly to look back at Asher..
I was met with the glaring eyes of Asher, who stared angrily at Niall and I. Noticing my stares, Shelly touched Asher’s arm and seductively traced his hands. Seeing her do this while smirking at me made my blood boil and I wanted nothing more than to rip her hair out. Asher didn’t remove her hands which made me more furious. Gosh jealousy doesn’t feel good.
Taking my eyes away from them I focused on the teacher who was already explaining something I didn’t know. The remainder of the class, I tried to focus on the teacher but that was proving difficult since I could only hear Shelly’s flirty giggles. My skin prickled as I tried hard to not turn around to see what they were doing. Her giggles made me think of bad scenarios where Asher is flirting back, and then they would get back together and have a happy family… Stop Lily, you’re making things worse for yourself! My subconscious reminds me.
When class was over, I was the first one to leave. My heart rate quickened when I heard swift footsteps following me, making me believe it was Asher. Almost jogging now, I turned the corner when the person put their hands on my shoulder making me stop.
I turned around to see Niall, who was breathing hard. I was a little disappointed when it wasn’t Asher and scowled at myself for even thinking that.
“Damn, for someone who’s short, you really walk fast!” Niall jokes, trying to catch his breath.
“Did you forget that you have to show me around? You can’t escape me that easily. ” He told me, making me smile sheepishly.
“Oh, I didn’t forget I just was rushing to the bathroom, I really needed to pee.” I lied.
“Oh really? Then I think you were going the wrong way because I saw a door with ‘bathroom‘ written on it right beside the classroom you just came out of.” He teased with raised eyebrows. Well fuck there goes my excuse. “You don’t have to tell me who you were running from.” He told me when he saw the look on my face. I really didn’t want to tell a guy I just met about Asher and I, even though he seemed cool. With a smile, I told him to follow me as
showed him around.
I successfully avoided Asher for the rest of the day and was surprised when he didn’t make much of an effort to find me. Maybe he doesn’t want you anymore, I thought sadly. I know I was the one who walked away from him, but I just wanted him to fight for us and make me feel like I was worth it.

Chapter 273
but I guess I wasn’t.
I was on my way to my dorm room when my phone rang. Thinking it was Asher, my heart leaped and I picked it up quickly but was disappottina to li Rose’s voice and not Asher’s husky one.
“Why haven’t you called or come over?” Rose screeched through the phone. It was unusual for me to not speak to her for more than a day, but what was i supposed to do? I was grieving a lost relationship.
“I was a little bit busy.” I spoke through the phone, feeling guilty for not telling her what happened. Yeah, crying over a guy who you thought loved you
“Yeah, with Asher.” Rose teased, but didn’t know the effect of those words. Hearing Asher’s name from het mouth made me finally realize I lost him, and that thought scared me. I must have stayed quiet for a while, because Rose spoke softly. “What happened?” She asked.
“I don’t want to talk about it.” I sighed.
“You better come over in ten minutes.” She argued.
“Rose.” I whined. I didn’t want to go through this again. It was already embarrassing enough that this happened to me.
“Now, Lily!” She said, leaving no room to argue.
“Okay, fine.” I sighed and turned around to walk to her apartment. When I reached there, the first thing she did when she saw my face was pull me in a tight hug. I couldn’t help but sob as I remembered what happened.
“That little fucker will pay for whatever he did to you.” Rose promised as she rubbed my back.
