Chapter 31 Distraction

 • Kylie's POV 
“ Just ignore him Kylie , ignore him Kylie, you can do it.” I said to myself trying to ignore his constant poking on my body.
“ Kylie, Kylie, Kylie, Kylie, Kylie....” He said calling my name repeatedly while poking my arm with a pen sitting beside me. I wish I never sat near him, I should have pick another seat.
What a terrible mistake.
“ What ?!” I snapped when I couldn't take it anymore. My arm must be sore now. 
I did not realize I shouted that much until the teacher spoke. “ Kylie, I would like you to be quiet and not divide the class's attention unless you want detention.” She said calmly.
“ I'm sorry.” I told her.
She simply nod then turn her attention to the board while I turn to give him a glare, he pouts at me.
“ Why the hell are you disturbing me ?” I whispered softly even though I felt like shouting but I don't want detention.
“ Why the hell won't you forgive me ?” He whispered back leaning closer to me that I could easily feel his hot breath on me causing something I can not decipher in my body. I rolled my eyes slightly pushing his face away, I said “ I did not say I'm angry at you, did I ?” I raised a brow.
“ You did not need to say it, your actions justify that.” He stated.
I sighed feeling tired, it's been a stressful day and he is adding to it.
 “ It is just a prank, why should I be angry ? Besides I'm going to retaliate.” I told him with a smirk on my face.
“ I'm so scaaaared...” He said feigning fear, then let out a chuckle.
I rolly my eyes then say, “ You should be.”
He laughed, a hearty one. “ But I'm sorry though," He said apologetically, I could sense that he is really sincere. “ I did not really meant for it to hurt you just wanted to prank you for fun, sorry.”
I chuckled then spoke without looking at him, I was writing. “ Besides it was fun, looking back at that it was indeed funny. You really scared me, I was scared of loosing you,” I turned to him. “ When I saw you lying down there lifeless, I was terrified, so sad that...” I sniffed then use my hands to brush my hair backwards tucking it to my ear.
“ You lost someone that you love the most, your heartthrob.” He winked at me making me snort out a laugh.
I shaked my head, “ No that's not it, I was sad that I lost a jerk in my life.” Am I not supposed to be happy ? I'm weird.
“ I am not a jerk, I'm a perfect sweetheart.” He said emphasizing on the word ‘ sweetheart.’ in a sing song voice.
“ Oh please,” I rolled my eyes. “ Besides I was not sad because of that, I was sad because...” I paused for a little while letting him soak in the silence, I place my elbow on the table and my palm resting on my chin then a smirk find its way to my face. “ I was sad only because I will miss you and there will be no one to  frustrate like the way I do to you, so generally I don't want to loose you.” I admitted with a little smile which he smiled to back.
“ What of if we go out today ?” He said all the sudden, making me raised my brows at him.
“ I'm not skipping school, I want a perfect attendance.” I told him forcing my attention back to the teacher before she notices I'm not paying attention to her teaching. Ashton is like a distraction to me, anytime I'm with him. My attention always seem to drift to him, only if he does not talk to me I partially focus on the teacher also glance at him intervals while the teacher speaks. I really need to stay away from him during class unless I'm so going to get detention. If I don't have the knowledge of what she is teaching, I would have say fail. Well at least the home lesson is a bit of an advantage to me.
“ No, after school. Since you are a nerd you will be worrying about school tommorow, I promise you will be home before seven.”
I rolled my eyes, I have been doing a lot of rolling. Hope my eyes won't pop out. “ Where are we going ?” 
“ It is a surprise, not telling you.” He said.
“ Aargh!" I groaned, I hate hearing that. “ I hate surprises, it makes me worry that you are taking me to a place to kill and bury me.” I toldhim with a pout.
He just laugh, “ That is the sweetest part, so you going ?”
“ I really want to know what kind of surprise it is, a good one or a bad one, love it or hate it. So yeah... I'm going.”
He let out a sigh of relief then a smile to cover up, he took his bag and stand up hanging around your neck. “ Thank you.” He said with a peck on my cheek then walk out, I watched him as he went realizing other students were leaving and the teacher has left.
My eyes widened not only because of the kiss on the cheek but because class has ended.
Yup, he is definitely a distraction.
~~~~•
The day went by quickly, it was really stressful and fun especially lunch time with my friends,  Kelly seem like a calm guy when he is with his friends not like the dude I saw few days, the one who like a badass. Well he is a badass.
He is a complicated person, hard to crack like Ashton. Sometimes he will be cool sometimes a jerk.  I would have say they are brothers but there is no ounce of resemblance between them.
Forget about them, time to go home. If I knew going to school is stressful , I would have not come but well it was worth it ; if I went back to the past, and I'm ask to choose if I want to still attend school, my answer will be yes and forever be yes.
I heard my name being called, I turn to look at who ever is calling me. It was Ashton, he was running towards me. He stopped when he reached me.
“ Hey, what's wrong ?” I asked him wondering what might be the reason for him running to meet him. He was trying to catch his breath before he talked.
“ You are ready ?”
“ For ?” I wanted to ask but then I remembered what he was talking about, I can't believe I said yes to him.
I force a smile and nod then say “ Yes.”
He smiled then clapped his hands. “ Let's go.” He said and walked out of the school with me following behind and also me asking where are we going but he refuse to answer me.
We entered his car then he drove off to whatever he is taking me to. I glanced at him intervals, he was too focused. 
I watched as his hair flowed to his front and him pushing it to the front but it still cane back. I wanted to laugh but I held it back.
“ I'm getting uncomfortable with your stares,” He said without looking at me then he turned to me with a cocky smirk on his face. “ I'm starting to think you are in love with me.”
I let out a snort then face the window. “ You need a haircut.” I blurted out of nowhere. Gosh, Kylie what's your concern.
“ Yeah, that's true.” I heard him say, I turn to look at him, he was staring at himself on the mirror using one hand to brush his hair to the side tucking it in each of his hair and the other hand to steer the wheel.
“ Where are we going ?” I asked again.
“ You know I'm not going to tell you, if I do it is no more a surprise.”
“ I just want to know where we are going, so I will know whether we are going to prison or not. I don't want to go for the second time I have a reputation to keep.” I told him.
He rolled his eyes. “ You are not going to prison, I promise it is going to be fun.”
“ What of if it is not ?” I asked him with my hands folded across my chest.
“ Well you have serious problem, if you think it is not. Okay fine if it is not to you I promise you that I will do anything you want tomorrow.”
“ Anything ?” I asked to be sure of what I heard.
“ Yes, anything.”
I clasp my hand in joy then smiled at him. “ Okay fine , let's go.”
I hope it won't be fun.
~~~~~~
“ Oh.My.God.” I shouted squealing in excitement.
“ You took me to an amusement park ?” I said to him as I come down from the car looking at the huge gate with so much admiration. I could see the rollercoaster from here, it is decorated with different colours.
“ Yes," he said with a chuckle then handover a grey hoodie to me. I took it, he was wearing a black and white hoodie.
We went inside, it was so beautiful. There were so many games,fun things to do here. I wanted to do all but I don't know which one to try first.
“ I have never really been to an amusement park before.” I said.
He looked shocked, “ Really ?”
“ Yes, my parents never really had my time when I'm a kid and when I grew up I did not have time. I'm going to take Ken here one day.”
“ Who is Ken ?” He asked.
“ My brother.” I replied, I sighted one of the stall that is free of people. “ Let's go play this.” I said then held him on his hand dragging him there.
When we got there, a man popped out of nowhere wearing an hat with a khaki top.
“ One dollar to play and get to win one of this.” He said pointing to the stuffed animals hanged on the wall.
I turned to Ashton, jutting my bottom lip to him forming a puppy eyes. “ Please play it.”
“ With pleasure.” He said then gave the man one dollar. The man gave him an arrow and a bow telling him that if he hit the red spot on that circular board on the wall,he wins.
Ashton noddes then place the arrow on the bow stretch the string then fire, it hit the board but not the red spot.
“ It was so close.” He growledd feeling disappointed at what he did, he paid the man another dollar so he could try again. He missed again, he played again and he missed.
I released a groan when I couldn't take it anymore, he has been playing for like hours and still yet no win.
I snatched the bow and arrow from  him receiving a glare from him.
“ What are you doing ?” He asks.
“ Playing the game,” I said in a ‘duh’ tone. “ so we can do another thing, rather than doing this alone or you doing this alone.”
More like you spending all your money on this.
I targeted the red spot then fire, it felt like it happened in slow motion. It fell on the floor, nah it hit straight on the red spot.
“ What the hell ?! The game is rigged.” He said still trying to process that I won.
“ How ?” 
“ How did you win and I didn't.”
“ Well...that's because I'm good at archery than you.” I told him laughing.
“ Which of the stuffed toys you want ?” The man asked, I turned to him. He was laughing.
I pointed at the large Donald the duck in Mickey mouse clubhouse which was the first thing my eyes caught.
The man traced my hand to donald then brought it down, he gave it to me. I took it with a smile and told him thank you.
I stretched it to Ashton gesturing for him to take it. 
“ You are giving me ?” He asked like he wanted to be sure if I'm truly giving him.
I nodded. “ Yes, I am. Anytime I watch rom-com movies when the boy always win those games for the girl then give her the prize. I have always wish it to be the other way around, so take it.”
He took it from me. “ Thank you.” He said with a smile.
I smiled.
“ I saw an ice cream shop, let's go buy.” I said dragging towards the ice cream shop.
“ Your intake of ice cream is getting too much.”
“ Oh please.” I said with an eye roll.
~~~~~•
I sat on the bench waiting for Ashton to come back, he left me immediately we ordered for ice cream saying he is coming back. I looked at the two empty cups which  was supposed to be for I and Ashton, I licked it all. 
I was just being concern for the ice cream so it won't waste. Cause no one likes a melted ice cream so I helped it.
I swung my legs in the air feeling impatient, If he did not come any minute from now, I will be force to go look for him.
“ Waiting for someone.” I heard someone say behind me which startled me.
I turned to look at whoever said so, it was a blonde boy who has a hazel eyes that looks like he is my height.
“ Yes, for my friend. He went to get something.” I told him.
“ Okay, I could keep you company till he comes back. I'm also waiting for my friends they went to get something.” He said.
“ Hmm, that's okay. I think.” I chuckled making him laugh.
“ What's your name ?” he asked me, I was about to tell him but I got interrupted by a furious voice.
“ What the hell are you doing with my girlfriend ? Flirting with her ?” 
I turned to see Ashton soaked, water was dripping out of his clothes.
“ I was just talking to her not flirting. I thought you said you were waiting for a friend not boyfriend.” The boy said to me.
I shrug not knowing what to say.
“ She does not know the difference between a friend and a boyfriend.” Ashton told him making me roll my eyes at him.
The boy laughed, “ Well I should go and meet my friends, bye.” he waved at me, I waved back. He smiled then walk away.
“ Why are you wet ?” I asked him laughing.
“ Here take this.” He said giving me a ruby necklace, it looks pretty.
“ You bought this ?” I asked him collecting the necklace from him.
“ No, I won it.” he said proudly. I laughed while wearing the necklace around my neck.
“ Is that why you are wet ? what kind of game did you play ?”
“ I don't know the name, but the last person to be in water wins.” He replied.
“ You could have drown,” I hit him on the shoulder, feeling guilty for him going through all that trouble.
“ Well I didn't and it was worth it.” 
“ I don't really deserve this.” I said.
“ You might think you don't but you do, just wear it and don't lost.”
“ Thank you,” I said with a smile. “ I would have hugged you if you are not wet.”
“ Darn it.” He cursed under his breath making me laugh.
“ Let's go ride the Death ride.” I told him holding his hands swinging it.
“ No, that ride is dangerous.” 
“ Please, I have not ride it before. Let me just try it once, just once.” I said begging him.
“ Fine.” He finally agreed.
“ Thank you, thank you.” I did not realize when I hugged him until when I felt something cold on my skin.
“ Now we are both wet.” He said with a laugh while hugging me.
~~~~~•
“ I wonder why you are not allowing me to drop you at your house.” He grumbled as I came down from the car.
“ Reasons.” I said to him. 
He let out a scoff, “ I hope your house is not far from here.”
“ No it is not.” I told him.
“ So did you enjoy the date ?”
“ It is not a date just a friendly outing.”
He rolled his eyes. “ Anyways did you  have fun ?”
“ No, I didn't. So that means you get to do anything I want tomorrow.” I smirked.
“ What ?! You screamed in joy, you said the death ride was really really really fun while I was vomiting. You were smiling.” He said making me laugh.
“ I was only smiling because I was thinking about those things you will do for me and I said the death ride was really really really not fun.” I told him, emphasizing on the word ‘not’ slowly.
“ So see you tomorrow, my able servant and good bye.” I shut the door laughing.
I'm so going to frustrate his life tomorrow
