Bestfriends Shouldn’t Know How You Taste Chapter 18
In a swift move, I was out of the door before anyone else. My breathing was rough as I strutted to my
next *s. The bell had just rang and I needed to get out of ke’s sight.
I wasn’t ready to talk to him.
“Ley!” ke shouts a couple distance away from me. The air gets stuck in my lungs as my footsteps
have now turned into an almost sprint.
I brush past students that were very attentive to what was going on. Their gazes were focused on
ke and I. Ready for whatever show they were expecting.
Seeing the wooden door to the calculus *sroom has me breathing out a sigh of relief. It was just a
tiny bit of footsteps away.
“Ashley Grey!” ke yells. Oh crap, he’s mad. ke only uses my full name when he’s mad at me.
Deep down I knew I was a coward for running away from him but I couldn’t help it. I was scared of
getting hurt. It was only inevitable.
My fingers wrap around the cold metal knob and twist it open. Giving a forced awkward smile to Mr.
Gustavo, I walked in the *s. I was the first one there fortunately as I sat my bum on the wooden
chair.
Sighing in relief, I settle my bag on the graffiti wooden desk. A few secondster the door opens
roughly and ke enters the room. My heart leaps when he walks in with determination.
My heart pounds as his blue eyes locked into my own, burning me with a sudden heat. I was in
trouble. “Ashley-” He starts.
“Mr. Reed, you’re not in this s. I suggest you go to your asigned *s.” Mr. Gustavo deadpanned.
He was a very strict man, frightening when he was vexed.
Sighing in defeat ke nods. He turns to me, his eyes promising that he’d find a way for us to speak,
alone. “I’ll see you soon.” Was hisst word before leaving the *s.
I should’ve felt a sort of ease that he no longer was in the same room with me. But it only made me
feel a rapid wave of anxiety. I knew ke and I very much know that he’ll do anything to get his way.
And that is what I was most scared of.
The door opens again, this time Lucy and her friend enter. They were giggling at something they were
conversing about. They were both dressed in their cheer outfits, the skirt not lengthy enough to cover
their buns.
Lucy’s steeling eyes quickly snaps to mine as if sensing someone looking at her.Quickly tearing my
eyes away, I reach for my bag, ying with the zipper as a means to distract myself.

I hear the soft thud of their shoes on the tiled floor as they stride towards me. My back straightens as I
awaited whatever nonsense and insult they would throw my way.
“You have some nerveing to school today knowing what you did.” Lucy starts. I ignore
her,running a finger down the zipper of my bag as a distraction.
“Everyone knows you’re a slut now. I mean going after a guy who’s taken? Not so much of an
innocent girl now are you Ashley?” She taunted sliding into the seat on my right.
Her friend slides into the one on my left and I’m now sandwiched between the two. “You’re a whore,
sleeping with your so-called best friend knowing he has a girlfriend. You’ve always been after him
haven’t you?” She insulted.
“Yeah like ke would ever settle for her, I mean look at her, there’s really nothing to look at. Just a
sad slut looking for attention.” Her friend sneered.
I didn’t bother lifting my head to stare at them. I let my hair curtain around my face to block them from
seeing the moisture in my eyes.
My fingers tremble slightly as I halt my actions. No matter what I do, I’d never get distracted enough to
not let their words hurt. I bite into the soft flesh of my bottom lip harshly until I could taste the metallic
tang of blood.
“Your name is tarnished around this school, if I were you I’d never show my face again.” Lucy
snickered. The *s was filling up already and I could feel the prickles of their stares.
Was I really a slut for kissing ke? Maybe I was. I sure as hell act liked it in biology, having him
touch me so intimately knowing he was taken.
A tear slipped out and I quickly brushed the pad of my fingers over the fallen tear. I hear their loud
cackle knowing they were breaking me with their words.
“Settle down now children, we have much to catch up to.” Mr. Gustavo announces. The rest of the
*s is silent as I ponder over Lucy and her friend’s words. Was I really a slut?
I’ve avoided ke like the gue for the rest of my *ses. But now it was lunch and my stomach
rolls with unease. I wouldn’t be able to escape him this time.
I push my bag in my locker and then closed it shut. I squirm as I felt the using eyes of everyone. I
fortunately hadn’t seen Stacy today, it was like she hadn’t bothered toe to school. It made me all
the more guilty.
I sighed, turned around and strutted to the cafeteria. I was hungry and even though everyone sent me
sneers, it wouldn’t stop me from filling my stomach with well needed food. All this hiding from ke
made me hungry.
My belly grumbles as I enter the cafeteria. It’s already crowded and I hoped there were enough
students around to not have ke recognize me straight away. The longer the wait the more time I
have to calm my nerves.
I strut over to the line, crossing my arms under my breast. There were about five people before me,
not so much but enough to have me impatient to get my food.
I did a happy dance in my head when it was finally my turn. Reaching over to take a lunch tray, I lift it
My eyes fall into a set of blue orbs. My brows furrowed when she didn’t look away.
She was petite with jet ck hair that was securely wrapped inside a hair. She wasn’t old but she
definitely wasn’t in her twenties.
She was definitely new here, I have not seen her around. Her eyes studies me, stopping on the gold
chain ke had gotten me for my birthdayst year.
“I’d like the burger please.” I said bringing her out of her gawking. As if snapping back to reality she
shakes her head slightly. With a toothy smile she nods. “Sure darling.” Her voicees out soft.
My eyes drop to the burgers on the tray, my belly growls. Drawing my eyes up to hers, I smile
sheepishly. “Make that two please, oh and a box juice.”
