Chapter 24

Werks passed by with Hayden and I hanging out almost every day. We have gotten to know each other more; we don’t really do anything apart from making out, we haven’t really been that intimate When we are among friends, we keep things cool between us, we talk to each other but ke it minimal so they won’t suspect anything.

After going through classes in the most robotic way, I’m waiting for the day when I’ll finally graduate and get out of this torture. I know pa us we’ll miss this time when we are older, but I seriously doubt that I would. I just want to hurry and get it over with.
“So, how are your studies going ”
My dad asked during dinner. I quickly chew on my meal to answer him, “Great. My grades are getting much better” I say to him.”
“They were never bad before Bree.” My dad pointed this out while my mom and Asher kept on eating. But it’s a good thing your grade keeps getting better that way you have a better chance at studying at Harvard.” I smile at the proud look on my dad’s face.
“So I assume your studying session with Hayden is going well. This time it was my mom who asked, and my dad looked at her confused. He had n idea about any of this and was probably wondering what my mom was talking about
“What studying session?” He asked with a raised brow. I sent a look to my mom, and she avoided my gaze.
“It’s for English; we are partnered to act as a part of an assigned book by the end of the school session” I answered, stuffing more food into my mouth.
“What book is that?” My dad asked.
“Rome and Juliet”
“If a nice book”
“Mhm” I stuffed food in my mouth so that I wouldn’t have to reply.
I can’t count the number of times I fell asleep reading that book and just couldn’t understand Romeo and Julier’s love.
“He is a nice boy. Have you been to any of his games before?” My dad asked, probably persistently, not to drop the topic of Hayden.
All because of my mom. I knew she was suspecting that something was going on between Hayden and me. There was a time Hayden came over and we were watching a movie, taking a rest from the book after reading each other’s reviews of it. We were cuddling in each other’s embrace when my mom walked in.
We tried pulling apart but knew it was too late, so I played it cool and just stayed there, like she didn’t just walk in on me resting on Hayden as his hands wrapped securely around my body.
I swallowed a big chunk of food down without chewing, setting off a fit of coughing. Drinking a glass full of water, I returned my gaze to my dad.
“Yes, I have but just once, a couple of weeks ago.” My dad nods in understanding and opens his mouth to talk, but mom beats him to it.
“Enough of the interrogation, and let Bree eat her dinner in peace.”
wasn’t interrogating her; I was just having a simple father–daughter conversation. My dad says I pout like a little kid.
That was the beginning of their barter, as the both of them argued over irrelevant things I shake my head at their chiklish behaviour, but am glad to have no questions thrown my way. I turned over to my side to see where Asher was sitting.
“Hey big man, how are things progressing with Cassic?”
“We are good” He answered in his baby voice. “She agreed to be my girlfriend.”
That caught the attention of my parents and me, and we all had a shock expression on our faces as we stared at Asher, who continued eating. bouncing a linde bit on his head like he hadn’t just said he had a girlfriend.
“Cassie is your girlfriend.” I asked just to clarify if he hail actually said those words,
A bluch stained his cute little face because of the attention he got from us. He let out a sheepish smile, looking from mne to mom and dadi.
“How did this hapura? I thought Cassie was seeing ather boy in your class.”
“Yeah, Heat I told her I liked her and I didn’t want her with Erhan, then asked her to be my girlfriend

Chapter 24
“Sweetie aren’t you too young to have a girlfriend?” My mom asked him worriedly.
“Yes, Asher, we don’t want her breaking your little heart.” I say, backing mom up.
“It’s okay; we are taking things slow.” He answers, shrugging his little shoulders. Hayden must be rubbing off on him. They spend time together whenever he comes around.
“Wow, you need to get dating tips from your brother Bree; maybe you might end up having a boyfriend by the end of the week. My mom exclaimed, and I huffed in response.
“Bree is too young for a boyfriend; she is not allowed to date until she’s twenty–five. My dad countered my mom’s statement, saying nothing abo Asher’s little girlfriend.
There was no way I was going to wait till twenty–five before I started dating–no way in hell.
“I have to wait till twenty–five while Asher is allowed to date at eight.” I was baffled.
“Well, Asher is a boy, and you are my little princess. I don’t want any boy messing with your heart and breaking it.”
“I’m not a little kid any more, I have got to get hurt to learn and grow.” I smiled at him. “Besides, like mom said, I don’t have a boyfriend yes, so yo don’t need to worry, for now,” whispered the last part.
Dinner continued with us grilling Asher about his girlfriend Cassie, and it was fun having dinner together like this. Since dad is not always around dinner time always consists of my mother, Asher, and me. Sometimes Hayden stays for dinner
After we finished dinner, dad, as usual, helped pur Asher to sleep while I helped my mom tidy the table. I did the dishes, drying them up, then placing them back on their rack.
I walked back upstairs to my room, showered, and changed into comfortable nightwear before plopping myself on the bed to get some sleep since tomorrow marked the beginning of another week
Ugh Monday.
