Alpha Asher

*5 years ago*

"You do know that the secondary graders are coming with us to this field trip right ?" Kelly asked .

I shooked my head .

"Really ? I thought it was only for us " i say .

"Well ...they are " she said .

Walking in the botanical gardern we walked through several herbs and i saw someone looking at me .

I look back to see a boy with brown hair and grey eyes looking at me .

Grey eyes ...so beautiful.

I smiled at him and he smiled back .

"Who is he ?" Kelly asked .

"I ...i don't know , he must be one of the second graders " i said .

She nodded .

I then saw him walking towards me .

I tensed up .

He smiled .

"Hi " he said .

"Hello " i talk back blushing.

"I am Asher King ..." he said holding out his hand for me .

"L-Lia Summers " i spoke shaking his hands .

"Shall we be friends? " he asked .

I smiled and nodded .

"Hey little nuts ...enjoying Mr.Asher's company? " i saw a guy come from behind and keep his hand on Asher's shoulder.

Asher's body tensed up and he lowered his head .

"I don't think you should talk to this dork , he is a loser " that guy said .

"The only loser here is you " Kelly spoke up .

"Really ? ..ok , how about we show them who is the loser here Asher ? Hmm ?" The guy said .

Asher kept his head down .

"Leave him alone " i spoke .

But that guy ignored me and spoke .

"This nut here , is a good for nothing loser , stupid head .." the guy said hitting his head .

I took a step forward worried that Asher might get hurt while he stood there tensed the whole time .

"Leave . Him . Alone , i'll call Miss Pearl if you hurt him " i said .

That guy looks at me and smirks .

He then turned around and walked away .

"You ok ?" I asked .

He nodded .

"I-I am sorry ...bye " he said and walked away as well .

While me and Kelly stood then still confused and worried that that guy will hurt him .

But for some odd reason, i felt like we could be good friends.

I don't really get attracted to shy boys ...but he seemed exceptional.

.

.

.

.

"Hey dork !! ...come here and pick this shit up " Ken said .

I look over to see they were troubling Asher again .

I stood up amd walked over .

Picking up is pen i slam it on Ken's table .

"There you go " i said and took Asher's hand pulling him out of the class .

"You didn't had to do that " he stated .

I smiled .

"Friends help each other ...and besides Ken is a jerk " i stated .

He chuckled and kissed my cheeks making me blushed like a beet root .

"Thank you Lia " he said

Did he ...he just kiss me ?

Oh my god !!

I hate to admit it , but this timid boy got my cheeks red .

He wasn't a exact definition of strong but i still like him .

"Did your mom shout at you again ?" Asher asked .

I nodded wiping my tears .

He sat besides me and kept his hand on my shoulder .

"Don't worry ..she is only caring for you " he said

Little did he know that i was being abused by both my father and mother .

But i stayed silent .

I didn't want it to get between us .

He was with me ...that was all i needed

I shut my locker and chuckled as Kelly huffed .

"What ?" She asked .

"You look dead " i taunted .

"Well duhhh ...i couldn't sleep because i kept searching dresses online for prom "

I nodded and laughed ..

Prom ..

Suddenly i felt a tap on my shoulder and i look back .

Only to be met with my half crush .

Asher King .

"Hi " he spoke .

Even though he was timid , shy and sometimes a victim of pranks ...i still liked him .

He had sliver grey eyes making me look at them untill night .

I bet they would shine in darkness .

Oh how i wish he was just bold enough to stand beside me and ask me out

But he just won't do it .

"Yes ?" I asked .

"Umm , i was just ....will ...will you go to prom ? ...with me ? " he asked .

My eyes went wide .

Yes ...of course! !

Before i could sat something and reply with a yes Asher received a harsh bump on his head .

"Hahahah ...you ..you actually dared to ask her out ? ...you are such a dork " Ken said .

I frowned .

Why is he always targeting him ?

"Leave me alone " Asher spoke .

"Oh ...ok ...i will , not before .." Ken stopped and punched him .

I gasp and immediately held Asher's elbow to support him .

"What is your problem! !? Leave us alone ! You know very well Ken what Kelly and I can do " i threatened him .

He runs his hand through his hair and walked away .

He once slapped a girl when Kelly and i decided to take action.

He ended getting suspended for a week .

Since then he hates me and doesn't look at me .

But he never bothered me as well .

"Are you ok ? ..oh on ..you are bleeding. ..lets go and take some medication " i said and helped Asher up .

"Come with me Kelly " i said and she walked with us .

"Its ok , i can do it on my own .." Asher said but i ignored him and continued patting his nose with cotton.

"And about the question, yes ..i will go to prom with you " i replied.

He look up and smiled .

"You don't have to , i don't think your friends will like you going with a boy like me " he stated.

I smiled .

"I don't care what my friends think , and you are something more than those idiots, you are sweet ...i like it " i said and stood up .

"Uh ...uh t-thanks " he said blushing.

I smiled .

"Ok ...see you tomorrow " i said and walked out .

I walked out to the front door to see him dressed in suit .

His tie complimented my red dress .

"Hi " he said .

"Hi " i reply back blushing a bit .

He look handsome .

"My sister is taking us there by car .." he said walking to a black car with me

It looked expensive.

Oh ya ...it will be since his family was rich .

Don't ask me how i know that invisible people

We sat back and his sister chirped a hello before driving off .

"Umm ...here " Asher handed me a box .

"Whats this ?" I asked .

"For you " he said rubbing his neck .

I open it to see a pendant with small diamond blue orchid on it .

"Wow " i exclaimed.

"I know you like orchids ...so " he explained.

"Thank you " i said and wore it .

His sister dropped us and we walk in to be greeted by my friends.

"So ...the dork is finally here " Ken said .

I glared at him and hold Asher's hand pulling him to my friends.

"Guys ..this is Asher " i introduce him .

Before they could speak anything a bucket was thrown at Asher full with red water .

I gasp at he coughed .

"Asher ...oh my god ..STOP IT KEN " i yelled at him .

But he just laughed .

I take the juice from the table and throw it on his face .

I glared at him and took a step back .

I turned my head to see Asher walking out .

I walked out with him on the road .

"Asher stop !!" I shout and ran behind him

"Asher !!" I called again but he kept walking

I ran and catched up with him .

I rested my hand on his back but he gently pushed me off

"I guess you should leave me alone , no girl wants to be with a guy like me , i can't even defend myself " he said .

"Doesn't matter " i said .

"Its does Lia " he spoke loudly and gritted his teeth.

"I can't stand for myself ...where in the world will i stand for you when you are in trouble. ... i can't speak up ...i am just too scared to ..leave me alone " he said .

I shooked my head and rested my hand on his shoulder.

"You are strong...but your strength so big , that its yet to come out " i said .

"You should go.." he said .

Ignoring him i speak again .

"Nobody is perfect Asher ...not ever will be ...and if people don't acknowledge your true personality, they aren't your type ...ignore them ..be yourself. ..i like you that why" i said blushing

"If you think i will be impressed by those idiots then no i am not , i am impressed by you ..your kind attitude towards others " i confessed .

He lowered his gaze .

"Thank you " he said .

I smiled and nodded .

"Lia " he called and i look at him .

" i am moving away ..."i frowned .

"Don't be sad , i have with my family , but promise me you will always keep this with you and never forget me " he said pointing at the pendant.

I took in in my fingers and nodded .

"I will come for you ...and show you how strong i can be ..thank you for encouraging me .." he said .

I smiled more .

He leaned in and kissed my cheek nervously.

I blushed with him .

"Promise? ...promise you will come back ? ..at least to see me ?" I asked .

He smiled and nodded .

"I will " he said .

My cheeks kept burning untill i reached home .

Prom wasn't what i expected to be .

But his touch sure made a circus in my body .

I wanted to see him again ..

But the next day , he was gone .

And he never came back .
