The Wallflower and the Alphas
Chapter 16 "Ashely is my hero"

Avery P.O.V.

After what happened in the hallway by my lockers. Where Jayson and Eli were teasing and picking on Ashely and Natalie. That was what happened before the first bell rang.

I walked in with Ashely. She had a faraway look on her face. She was probably still upset with Jayson Woods for how an ass he is. But I knew my friend had a big crush on him.

Oh, I could bounce on that one there. I thought with a giggle under my breath. I saw Ashely turn her head at me. “Don’t think about it Ave,” she said, staring at me with a serious look. I put my hands up.

“Hey, I didn’t say anything Ash,” I told her with an innocent expression on my face. But really, I was laughing inside. She gave me a look saying shut up.

So, I changed the subject. “So, Ash?” I asked her. “Yeah”, she said back at me. She wasn’t looking at me now. But she started walking into the back of the classroom. I followed her.

Not even five minutes sitting down in our seats. Natalie came walking through the door. She was holding her chest like someone ripped out her heart.

I also saw the pain in her eyes. I wondered what that’s all about. Then Ashely and I looked at each chatter. “What do you think happened?” She asked me. That was my thought too. I wondered what happened.

“I don’t know Ash, But I hope she is okay, “I told her. I was in my own thoughts when I saw Natalie’s side on my left side and Ashely on my right. She looked like she was crying. So, I didn’t want to remind her about whatever made her cry earlier.

“Hey, Nat. Everything okay.? “I asked her. And I gave her a smile. She gave me a tiny smile. Yep, that is what I Inspected. She was crying about something or someone.

Then she started talking like nothing happened. “So, what do you think Miss.Weber gives us extra homework tonight?” She asked us. We just played along with her.

So, I said. “Yeah, I know right. I hope not,” I said with a small giggle under my hand. Then Ashely spoke her answer.

“Yeah, I like her, but sometimes that lady needs to light up, maybe she needs a man. That will help get laid. She won’t be uptight anymore.” She said with a grin on her face.

“Ashely!” I said with belief in my voice but a smile behind my lips. She stared at me and Natalie with an innocent look on her face.

But you could see her smile behind her dirty mouth. She had always been the more outspoken friend. “What?” She said with her shoulders up. It’s like she didn’t say anything. It’s like someone else did.

“Anyway,” she said, and she started talking again. “Now, Now, girls,” she started saying with a cock grin on her face.

“Little ole me would say that out of my sweet innocent mouth,” she told us. We all started laughing and chatting before first-period class started. We were talking and having a good commutation before they came in through the door.

We all stopped and stared at the front of the room where the door was. We all drop our smiles and stop talking. I heard a growl come out of somewhere.

That was when I realized it was me that growled. Because I saw Elijah Woods had his arms around a little tart blonde. She’s friends with Emilia Stone.

Right, now she was all over Emilia, man. That tart name was Sebrina Hotelmen. She was the second snobby bitch in this school.

I was staring at them with heat and anger in my eyes. “Man, she is brave. I know Emilia is going to kill her.” A girl in my class was rude but not as mean as Emilia and Sebrina and their followers.

“Damn, he had the two hottest girls in the same friendzone.” A guy said. “Yeah, man what a lucky bastard.” I heard a guy say and laugh with his friends.

“Woods! You’re the man! ″ I heard a dumbass say in the background. I turned around and I saw his stupid football jock teammates cheering him on.

I wanted to throw up because they make me sick. Why do people cheer him on and show him, and why do they like him? Why? Like the way all the girls want him, and the guys want to be his friends. It’s sickening.

I can hear people talking around me and Ashely, Natalie. Praising him like he’s a God. Oh, my God! I couldn’t believe these people were idling and worshiping him. When he started walking in the classroom like the boss.

He was looking around and his eyes were casing the room. When his eyes stop on something or someone he was looking for. Yep, you guessed it right, little ole me. I thought with an annoying attitude.

God, he started walking towards me with his cocky smirk on his sexy and handsome- I mean ugly face. I needed to stop thinking about him. God, I wanted to smack that cocky smile off his face. I wanted to put my middle finger up at him.

Ahh, I wanted to scream at him, and I wanted to flip him off. But I was not brave enough like Ashely. So, that was what she did. “Oh, fuck off man-whores!” She flipped them off. I and Natalie started laughing at what Ashely did.

She was laughing with her head back. But something happened. We heard a growl and Ashely’s neck was inside Jayson’s hand. “You have a very dirty mouth kitten.” He told her with a snarl and a growl. “You keep it up, I am going to give you something to shut you up,” he said, bringing her face closer towards his.

He started gripping her neck harder. But she just gave him a big grin. “Oh, I am so scared big boy!″ She mocked him. “You, the one going to stuff my mouth!” She chuckled and had a smug look on her face.

He stared at her with shock and confusion. He probably wondered why she did not back down. Well, he was up against Ashely Williams the badass strong, beautiful she-wolf. “Yeah, you should be afraid of me,” he told her with his lips on hers. “Why’s that huh,” she said with a grin on her face.

He didn’t say anything because he was speechless. But then she did something that was brave to do. She came closer. Her lips on right on his. It looked like they were going to kiss. But everyone could see they were not. Damn, I wished I were like my cousin and best friend.

She was an outspoken badass. She didn’t take anyone’s shit. That was when she winked at him and kissed him. She got out and held her around her neck. She grabbed his shirt and pulled his lips down on hers.

She kissed him hard on the mouth. Before he acted. She let him go and she pulled away from him. He had an unbelievable look on his face. Like he couldn’t believe she just did that.

Well, he didn’t know anything about her very well then. She gave him another wink. “Mmm, cotton candy,” “Mmm, my favorite,” she said to him.

Then She licked her lips. Staring at him. She turned away from him. She had no idea she’s my hero now I thought with a laugh. Because the look on everyone’s face was priceless. I looked over at Ashely she still had the expression on her face. That said don’t fuck with me! I gasped and when someone grabbed me. I was staring in the eyes of...
