“It’s not your fault. It just means he’s in even deeper with the crew now. I guess I’d hoped me leaving would…” I trailed off, spotting Asher and the guys across the hall.
“We’ll talk later.” She gave my hand a little squeeze, smiling as Jason stalked toward her.
“Hey.” He kissed her deeply, pressing her back against the lockers.
“Mya,” Cameron said. “How’s things?”
“Good thanks. You?”
“Can’t complain.”
“Asher,” I said, noticing he’d made no effort to say hello.
“Hey.” He barely looked at me.
Felicity and Jason finally broke away from one another and she shot me a ‘what’s all that about’ look. I shrugged.
“Felicity said you didn’t ride in with her again.” Jason looked at me.
“She did, did she?”
My friend’s gaze went wide, guilt swirling in her hazel eyes. “I… oops.”
“It’s no big deal.”
“The weather is getting bad out there. You can’t trust the school bus and I don’t like the idea of you walking all that way alone.”
“I… appreciate your concern.” This was too fucking weird. “But I’m a big girl, I can handle myself.”
“Oh, I don’t doubt it.” Jason chuckled. “But it’s worrying my girl, so do me a solid and either ride with her or find another ride.”
“Jason!” Felicity shrieked, mouthing a silent apology at me.
“Are we hanging at yours tonight?” Jason asked Asher.
“I guess,” he grumbled.
“What the fuck is wrong with you?”
“Nothing.” He pasted on an easy smile, but it didn’t reach his eyes.
“Schools almost out for the holidays and you’re acting like a little bitch.”
“You know what? Fuck you, Jase. I’m out of here.” Asher spun on his heel and stormed off down the hall.
“Nice, man, real nice.” Cameron side-eyed Jason who frowned.
“Am I missing something? Because I asked a simple question.”
“Jason,” Felicity pressed a hand against his chest. “Go easy on him. It’s been a rough few weeks and I think he was hurt we didn’t invite him the other night.”
“Hmm, you didn’t invite me either,” I spoke up.
“Well, yeah,” Felicity said. “We didn’t want you to think we were trying to push the two of you together.”
“I get it and honestly I really don’t care.” I did, a little bit. But I wouldn’t ever admit that to them. “But Asher cares. He’s gone from losing his two best friends and the girl he wanted, so yeah, cut him some slack.”
Jason growled while Felicity gasped. It was Cameron who spoke though. “You really think he’s upset?”
