Do you think Asher will go after Dante after this?
ASHERMy eyes averted to the door when Dante walked in with a small smile on his face. What was with him being so neutral about everything? The Dante I knew would have run miles away from me after what happened last night.He put his bag down on the desk. “Are you hungry?” He asked, bringing out something like cup noodles. “I bought this from the store opposite the school. It's called ramyeon, but I'm sure you'd like it.”For some reason, that made me feel unsettled. I didn't like the way he was trying to warm up with me and things didn't seem to add up, especially not after seeing him and Mateo together.Only God knows what they were talking about. What if they were after me or something? Could they be working against me? Was that the reason for his switched-up attitude?“Here you go,” he said, handing me the cup noodles. I stared down at the cup noodles, and my eyes slowly making back its way to him.He stared at the noodles and suddenly let out a short laugh. “I forgot the seasoni
DANTE“Who the fuck does he thinks he is?” I scoffed, throwing my shoes under my bed. Asher was getting cocky and to think I thought we were getting along for a moment.I must be a fool.I disregarded any thoughts regarding him and changed into my pajamas, getting into bed. I tried sleeping, but Asher's words kept playing back and forth in my head.What did he mean by that? Why was my heart beating after he said that? I needed to get myself checked because there's no way I felt a spark between us.And it didn't help that I was worried about him. The creature was there, and he was still out there. What if he gets attacked and—Wait, why do I care about him?He could be torn into pieces for all I cared, and there was no need to care about him. I saw him fight the creature, and I'm sure that he would be able to do it again. But I was guilty, I should've stayed out of his business. I know he's involved in some mystical shits but if I wanted to stay clear of it then it's best not to have
DANTE“Fuck,” I groaned.I can't believe I was doing this and the question that plays in my mind was why I was doing this? Mateo needed some dirt on Asher and I wanted to get him off Asher's back. But it's not because I care about Asher or anything, but because I wanted Mateo to stay clear of Asher. Asher could do just anything to him and I wouldn't be able to help him.Once I was sure that Asher was far away in the woods, I started trailing after him. I acted like I was asleep, waiting for him to go on his usual journey. I followed the trail of his shoes making sure I was discreet.I stopped when I realized that he was talking to a hooded figure. I squinted my eyes, trying to get a glimpse of who he was talking too, but the person was farther away from me.They stopped talking for a bit and before I knew it, he threw something at me, but I was quick to dodge it. I was breathing heavily, praying to God that he didn't see me. I hid behind a tree, hoping he wouldn't catch me.After wa
MATEOI knew the library wasn't an ordinary incident. Everyone tried batting an eye, calling it some kind of prank, but with the way I saw it, I could tell it was a creature. A monstrous creature and my mind was on Asher.“Don't you think you're taking this thing a little too far?” Slyder inquired as we approached the surveillance room.I planned on sneaking in while Slyder just watched out for anyone that was coming in. She didn't want to, but I had my ways and by that, I threatened her until she had no choice but to agree.“You want to find out about the library incident? Okay, but do you really think this is the way? What if we don't find anything,” she blabbered on and on.I was already fed up with her constant whining. “Zip it for five minutes. I have to go to work,” I shut her up.She rolled his eyes. “The guards are in the room and we're not allowed there. What's your plan, huh?” she crossed her arms, a smirk on her face.But I had a plan already. I wasn't planning on coming h
DANTE “What the fuck man?” I backed away, making a safe distance between the both of us. “Why were you staring at me like some kind of creep? Were you trying to give me a heart attack or something?”It was dark but I could see his movements through the ray of moonlight that peeked through the window. “You didn't let me sleep, so I figured I had to do something at least,” he replied.I was confused. What does he mean by I didn't let him sleep when I was perfectly sound asleep and he was the one about to give me a heart attack? “You were having nightmares and talking in your sleep. I stayed by your side to watch over you and make sure you were okay,” he explained.My heart felt a warm and tingly feeling. I didn't want to care, but why did he suddenly care about me? It was so insane and touching at the same time.“Um…T...Thank you. But you didn't have to go through all those troubles. I'm fine now,” I assured him, trying to disregard the strange feelings inside me.He scoffed. “Like I
DANTEI sat on the chair, trying to avoid his lingering gaze on me. My breath quickened, getting heavier and heavier by the second. It's been almost two minutes– I was counting. It felt so awkward being in the same room with him. I wanted the ground to open up so bad and swallow me up, but for some odd reasons I liked his gaze on me.I had to caution myself, refrain myself from the thoughts that were starting to envelop me. “So, how are we going to do this?” I broke the silence between us.He looked up at me, I noticed his beautiful gray orbs and then it felt hard to breathe again. My body was becoming hot and my heart raced fast, why was he affecting me in this way?He cleared his throat. “You can take the bed. I'm fine sleeping on the couch?” He gestured to the gray cushion not too far from us.I felt a bit bad. I didn't want him to lay down on the floor, especially since I was going to be here for God knows how long. He was tall and for his body size, the couch would be so uncomfor
