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.
