I made it to the first period on time and slid into my regular seat. I still feel embarrassed under the gazes of people who might have been talking about me. Asher hasn't arrived yet, and all I am hoping for mentally is for him to come over and accompany me. I never thought that friendship would play such a significant role in my life until now, relying on a boy I only met a few weeks ago. It's strange, I know. "Someone woke up early." I smiled at the familiar tone. I don't have to lift my head to know it's Asher, my only friend. I believe I mentioned Caden successfully isolating me from everyone while growing up. "You can imagine," I huffed. He props his head in his hand and looks at me with concern. "What happened?" he asked. "Just the usual Caden problem," I exhaustedly replied.
