First though, I needed to lay all my secrets to rest.
I needed to tell my friends the truth.
Mya
I didn’t see Asher all week. By the time Friday rolled round, I was beginning to think he’d given up on us.
On me.
Then I found it. A folded white note that fluttered out of my locker when I’d gone to collect some books I needed.

Mya
I thought long and hard about how to fix things between us… in the end I realized actions speak louder than words.
* * *
I love you more than words can say
And I know you love me too
So take a risk on me today
And let me show you the story of me and you
* * *
I glanced round, half-expecting Asher to leap out from somewhere and say, ‘gotcha’. But no one appeared. In fact, no one paid me any attention as I re-read the note, absorbing every detail. It made zero sense. Until my cell vibrated.
* * *
Asher: Your driver awaits outside.
* * *
He was serious, he really wanted me to cut class.
* * *
Me: You’ve lost your damn mind.
* * *
Asher: I’m crazy. Crazy for you. Now hurry or you’ll miss your ride.
* * *
He’d lost his goddamn mind. But I couldn’t deny a thrill shot through me at his boldness. My cell vibrated again, and I smiled when I read his words.
* * *
Asher: Time’s ticking, Hernandez.
* * *
Hernandez. God, it felt like forever since he’d called me that. Since things had been easy between us.
