episode 2

Narration: I'm back! Not that you guys care, I'm just the narrator and all. Whats in store for our dear marshallow today? We shall find out.

As classes resumed, Melody got into her Physics Class ready for the test that was to be given.

Melody's POV

"You ready?" I jumped as Lewis suddenly whispered to me. "I-I g-got s-scared! Don't d-do that again." I stutter as I say those words. "Didn't you say you only s-stutter n-now when you're n-nervous? Are you," He leans in closer and grabs my chin, "Nervous now?" He smirked.

Narration: Damn, Lewis is gettin' a bit spicy there don't you think author?

Author's Note: Well, I mean a lil spice won't hurt anyone's soul.

Narration: Good point. Ok Lewis do your thing. You're doing great my dude.

"C-cut it o-out. I-I'm nervous about t-the test." I tell him. "Don't worry Mallow. You'll do perfectly fine. I believe in you." He said. Why is he saying these words? "I-I never thought you could say those words. Thank you." I said. "Now prepare yourself, I'm gonna have to use my top-tier cheating skills to get through this test. And you're gonna be my google.". I knew it. But I mean he did make me feel ok, props to him for that. Lending a helping hand won't do anyone harm. "Prepare to enter the warzone." I told him. "Now that's what I'm talkin' about!".

Asher's POV

"You have got to be kidding me. I have no time for this nonsense Apollo. Try being the captain of the team, the student council president, and the top student in the high school. Its not as easy as you think." I told Apollo. Why would he ask me such a thing?

"Aw, Mr. Pretty Eyes is scared of getting a bit of dirt on his name? Come on dude, you're no fun. Don't think I forgot you shitted your pants in pre-school." He said.

Narration: Hey! Author I was not informed that theres gonna be swearing! I did not sign up for this!

Author's note: Its not like you can do anything against it HAHAHA. Now, shush.

"Don't make me punch your face for the 4th time this week Apollo. Go to one of your sidechicks and hang out with them, stop annoying me."

I felt the tension rise when I said sidechicks, what makes him think I don't know. Almost everyone at that party knew he danced with 2 other girls that wasn't Rose. "Asher buddy, we're best friends right? Can you let this slide? You know how Rose is. She'll kill me if she found out I was out with those girls." he begged.

"Behind you." I told him.

"Wha- ROSE?!-" His voice rose.

"I mean if I look like your girlfriend to you, its me Rose." Alvaro and I laughed.

Narration: *Sips tea* Oh, you're here....... What are you doing? Read the story. Wait, are you captivated by the way I'm sipping my tea? Just kidding, I said go back to reading!

Seriously not a single day with these guys are boring. Try having twins as best friends. Its double the chaos everyday. We got going to the gym to practice for a match we with DHS, our biggest competitor. We've been head to head on the court for more than 4 years now, and each time, we brought home the bacon. It would be a shame if we let that 4 years go to waste.

"Ashy~. I knew you guys would come early here." Selene ran into my arms. I stare at her. "I missed you Ashy~" She said. "Are you guys practing now?" She asked. "Class starts in 12 minutes, shouldn't you be else where now? Also let go of me." I tell her. "Don't be silly, Ashy. I came by to practice! And watch you play." She winked.

"Can you just go? I don't need you watching me, I'm not a 5 year old anymore." I ask her right when I realize that she's wearing my jersey. "Oooh, is there something we need to know you two?" Apollo and Alvaro asked in unison. "Shut it slaves." I reply.

Narration: Haha, Apollo and Alvaro KING, slaves ha ha. Comedy gold Asher, thats so funny my asthma is acting up. Just kidding I don't have asthma and Asher doesn't have humor either.

"Well, I am a cheerleader. A bit of practice won't hurt. I get to watch you guys too! Wouldn't you love that?" She said.

"From what I know your practing hours are in 2 pm through 6 pm. And you guys never practice with the basketball team on the court." I reply. I know everything about the events at school, no one can lie to me. Much more if it we're my friend. "Oh come on. Why can't I just watch you play?" She said with her 'puppy eyes'.

"Sure Selene! Our bud Asher here would definitely not mind. Right Asher?" Alvaro said. "I mean you can't reject those beautiful green eyes." Alvaro added.

"As a matter of fact, I do mind. We won't be dealing with you if you're inconvenienced. You can leave whenever you want too. I will be warning you, we will go hard on the court so if you get hit-" I said right when she butts in and says "I truly appreciate your concern Ashy, I will be fine so you have nothing to worry about.". The last time you said that you got your nose hit by the basketball.

"Right." I tell her. "Let's go change boys." I added and right when I stepped forward Selene stopped me and said "Where do you think you're going?" She said. Did she not hear me or is she just dumb? I lean down to reach her face "I said. We're. gonna. go. change. Out of my way." I said. What a nuisance.

Narration: Well would you look at that. Asher's ice cold, god damn. Ok so a brief description of Asher. Asher Galanis, son of Henry Galanis and Konstantina Galanis. Known to be one of the richest in Toronto, owning 4 mansions, and for god knows how many cars. Commonly called by his friends, Apollo King and Alvaro King, Mr. Pretty Eyes, for his pretty pale blue eyes that would make any girls' heart melt. Pft. Oh please, golden eyes are more pretty in the daylight.

Author's note: Well well well.

Don't believe everything I say. Anyway, coming from a politically inclined family, having his dad as a senator and his mother as a governor, Asher grew quite a lot of resentment towards his parents because they, not once, made him feel that he was their son. "You will be follow the path we've paved for you whether you like it or not." is their line, or thats how I would put it at least. Wow, that became sad real quick

Phew that was a mouthful of words.

Previously mentioned by Melody. Selene Nyx comes from a family of businessmen. As the heiress of one of the biggest financial companies in England, she has assured her future in the hands of her parent's company. To say the least, she's famous in their school for having good looks and in terms of financial status, her and Asher Galanis are a perfect match. Making the 'Golden Couple of Zynea High'. But then again theres Melody, and Asher will sooner or later like her, then Selene's true colors will show and she'll try to make Melody's chances with Asher miserable but will unfortunately fail because thats the fate of second leads. Sorry to break it to you Selene.

Actually, how about to spice things up Author, you let the second leads share their thoughts you know. That would be a refreshing way to show the readers a different side to what the main characters portray them as in their thoughts.

Author's note: They're called second-lead characters for a reason. If anything, their thoughts are irrelevant in this story.

Narration: You know what. You were able to make me speak my thoughts, why can't you do that for Selene huh? Or are you that brutal and incompetent as a writer to not even let her characters have the right to express themselves just because they're the "second-lead characters"? Is that what you're trying to say?

Author's note: Well you don't have to hurt my feelings as a writer. All you needed to do was ask. That hit a spot though.

Narration: *happy narrator noises* Thank you Author-nim~

Author's note: Am I brutal now?

Narration: Oh, not at all. You're the best writer in the world!

Author's note: This sounds like a dialogue between main characters now, lets just finish this chapter with Selene's POV, thats what you want right?

Narration: Yes, lez go.

Selene's POV

While walking through the hall on the way to the gym, I can't help but to get excited, I mean who wouldn't be? I'm gonna go see my Asher! "Ahhhhh I'm going to see Ashy again~~" These thoughts kept running around my mind. Teehee.

Narration: You know maybe I made a mistake. But who knows maybe she's better than just someone with a major crush on Asher and is obsessed with the thought of him. I have faith in you, Selene. Don't let me down.

Once I went in the gym, they weren't there yet. I guess I am quite a punctual person my self. When they arrived, I stopped and couldn't help but stare at Asher with his perfect delicate muscular body while sniffing his jersey that he gave me. "He is so perfect for me." I mumbled to myself.

Narration: This is too much. MAKE IT STOPP.

Author's note: You got what you asked for, now deal with it.

I called out to him as I ran to him and went it for a hug. I can slowly smell his perfume, so intoxicating yet still so classy. UGH He's just perfect.

Narration: Intoxicating and classy do not belong in the same sentence what is she talking about. And to think she's a heiress of a company. Aight, I've lost hope in her.

"From what I know your practing hours are in 2 pm through 6 pm. And you guys never practice with the basketball team on the court." Every word he says is just so well thought and delivered. He is absolutely mesmerising.

Asher's eyes are examining my body. Would you look at that, he realized that I'm wearing his jersey and his friends getting the wrong idea. I mean I wouldn't mind, Asher is already mine anyway. Asher looks so hot even if he's angry and telling his friends to shut up.
