ALL YOU

Both Ashton and Kavya froze. The music stopped and everyone started standing up. As everyone was still looking for whatever was going on; armed men with masks rushed into the club and started shooting sporadically.Ashton ducked to the floor immediately. He zipped his trousers and hurried ran towards where Laila and Josh were.Laila clutched unto him immediately, her eyes reflecting her fear."What's going on?" She asked and Ashton shook his head."No idea either. First, let's get out of here" Ashton said as he became to crawl among the broken tables and chairs."Yo! John, where are you?" One of the armed men yelled and Ashton hissed."I knew they were here for him" Ashton said as they stopped crawling.A girl stood up and tried to run out. She got shot and fell few meters away from Ashton. Laila yelled but Ashton had covered her mouth before she could let a sound o

Ashton opened his eyes groggily. He rolled on the bed and his eyes caught the digital clock on the drawer.8:15am.His room door opened and his mom stepped in. She was already dressed in a wine suit and trousers and her hair was packed into a small bin with a silver pin in the middle. Her strides were long and firm, her cheekbone high and confident. And even at 39, she commanded the attention of a General Commander but yet her eyes were soft as she stared at Ashton. She looked around surprised at the neat and tidy room."Did the maid clean the room yesterday again?" She asked and Ashton shook his head negatively."No" Ashton replied."Then who tidied up the room?" She asked and Ashton shrugged."I did" he replied as his mom's eyes widened. She opened her mouth to say something and closed it before trying again."You did?" She asked, her eyes still wide."Yes. Is there a problem or I didn't tidy it up well?" Ashton asked and

Ashton walked straight to the cafeteria and walked to his usual seat as Josh and Laila ran up to him."Hey, are you okay?" Laila asked and Ashton nodded as he sat down."Yeah, I'm fine" Ashton replied as Josh sighed."You don't look fine to me" Josh said as Ashton turned to him."Which part of me doesn't look fine to you?" Ashton asked and Josh found himself tongue-tied."You don't look fine to me as well" Laila added as she sat down."Everyone is saying you look different. I found it hard to believe but looking at you, I can't believe it's true" Laila said as Ashton placed his head on his palm."Which of me is different?" He asked as Laila pursed her lips."I feel like I'm looking at you but it's not you, yet it's you" Laila said and Ashton shrugged his shoulders. He wasn't sure of what was going on with him so there was no way he was telling them he found felt the same."I don't know about your twisted log

Ashton had made Josh and Laila also seat beside the window as usual.  Josh and Laila talked as Ashton looked outside the window. He turned to the class as a girl walked in.  She was wearing baggy jeans but were folded at the tip and a blouse tucked into the jeans. She had a black short bob that enclosed around her oval face.  She had a small nose and thin lips. It was her eyes Ashton found the most attractive. She had doe eyes that seemed to look at him softly. Their eyes met for a minute and Ashton quickly turned away.  He could feel his heartbeat rate increasing by the minute. He turned towards her again to see that she had sat down and fixed a pair of ear pods into her ears. He found himself unable to take his eyes off her and Ashton became startled. Josh noticed Ashton's frown and he instantly followed his eyes to find him frowning at someone. "Why are you frowning at Nailah? Do you know her?" Josh suddenly asked and Ashton

One week was gone and Ashton felt he would go crazy at any time. He dropped the painting brush as and a smiling Nailah faced him. For the past one week, his head had been filled with her. He had searched for her on social media and saved every single picture she had posted since he didn't know. He tried to find out about her without rousing suspicion yet he wasn't satisfied. He had changed and the change was affecting him crazily. Ashton removed the apron he wore that was already stained with paint and dropped it in the laundry basket. Using the special soap, he washed his hands off the paint and dried it with a napkin. Ashton sat on the bed as he tried to think. He looked around the neat and tidy room. Game pads were carefully arranged in a pile beside his computer. Ashton had discovered a lot of things in the past week and tried to get used to it but the fact that he was attracted to Nailah wasn't something he could easily wrap around his head. She wasn't h
