CHAPTER 2: Who's Gonna Save Me?

Ashley's POV

The next morning, I woke up, tucked under my covers. Well. I got up, headed down stairs for breakfast and coffee, then hopped into the shower. After that, I went into my room, turned on Pink's cd "Try This" and then got dressed. I picked out a denim mini skirt, white diamond studded Phat Farms, a baby blue halter top and a white half sweat-shirt. I fixed my hair up into a bouncy, curly ponytail, grabbed my bag and headed downstairs. Squid was sitting on the stairs but stood up when he heard me coming down the stairs.

"You look amazing," he said, kissing me quickly on the lips.

"Ready to go?" I asked.

"Ya," he said, taking my hand and we headed off to school. We were walking when a nice black H2 slowed down beside us. Someone rolled down the passenger window and Squid's friend Jed stuck his head out.

"Hey Squid! Wanna ride?" he asked. Squid looked at me, then back to his buddies.

"Nah," he said as we continued walking.

"C'mon. There's enough room for your girlfriend. She can sit on your lap. There's enough room," Jed persisted.

"Man. We're fine walking," Squid snapped.

"Go ahead. I'll walk," I whispered to Squid. He turned to me and looked me in the eyes, "No. It's fine babe. I'm gonna walk with you." He then turned back to his friends. "I'm walking man. That's final. I'll see you guys at school."

"Next thing we know, your freak girlfriend will turn you into a vegetarian," Jed laughed. Squid and me kept walking. Finally, the H2 drove off.

"You could've gone if you wanted too," I stated.

"Well. I didn't want to go, okay?" Squid snapped. We were silent the whole way until we got to the school. I went to head off to my locker when he grabbed my arm and drew me closer to him.

"I'm sorry," he said, giving me a hug. "I didn't mean to snap at you." I returned his hug and whispered, "It's okay. I forgive you." He leant down and kissed me softly before saying goodbye and heading to his locker. When I got to mine, Marina and Lysa were waiting there with Zero and Twitch. I hadn't seen Marcella in the past few days; she had been staying over Magnet's. And Jessica was becoming more distant from me and hanging more with people she knew.

"I can't believe you're still going together," I said to Marina and Twitch.

"I can't believe you haven't dumped Squid yet," Twitch stated. I stared at my locker after I opened it. Inside was decorated with all pictures from Christmas, New Years, even my birthday party.

"Why do you say that?" I asked, after I put my bag in my locker.

"He's been a jerk to you lately," Marina stated.

"Plus he's canceled how many dates to hang out with his buds?" Lysa asked.

"You guys...We've gotten into a few arguments but I still love him," I said.

"But I think the question is, does he love you?" Marina questioned before walking off to homeroom. I got my stuff and headed to homeroom to see Squid hanging out with his friends and their girlfriends. I walked over and sat down next to him when Jed snapped, "No freaks allowed. Go hang out with your sophmore and freshman friends." I got up to leave when Squid pulled me back and made me sit on his lap.

"She goes, I go," he said, wrapping his arms around my waist. Jed just stared at him, trying to scare him but Squid just glared back. After the life Squid lived, the only thing he was afraid of was high level demons and the elders, plus Belthazar. (Cole kinda threatened Squid that if he hurt me in any way, Cole would turn back into his demonic self and tear Squid apart, limb to limb.) So, Jed turned away and started chatting about their latest football game.

"Just ignore them," Squid whispered softly in my ear as I leaned back against his chest. Just then, the bell rang and we all scrambled for our homeroom seats. Our teacher Mr. Jakobs entered. In homeroom, Squid sits behind me. As my teacher was taking attendance, Squid started flipping my hair and flicking my neck. I kept looking over my shoulder and he tried to look like he did nothing wrong.

"What?" he asked, trying to put an innocent face on.

"You forgot to take off your devil horns," I laughed, facing front. Finally, the bell rang for first period. Damn! Gym! Hopefully, we were playing basketball. I picked up my Nike bag and went to walk out of the classroom when Jed pushed past me. Squid walked over and wrapped an arm around my waist.

"How can you be friends with those jerks?" I asked as we walked to gym. The jocks were walking in front of us, laughing.

"I know they're jerks sometimes, but other times, they're cool," Squid stated. "When's cheerleader practice? Ain't you and Marina on it?"

"Don't forget about Lysa too."

"Ya. Her too...Well. When is it?"

"I think Monday through Thursday, after school until 4:30...Same time as football practice." Squid chuckled.

"Great...I'm gonna make a fool out of my self if you're watching."

"No you won't. You're gonna be great. I mean, I've come to everyone of your games so far and you people have won all those!" I pouted. "Are you calling me a bad luck charm?"

"Well...You are a little demon," Squid whispered in my ear. I had to laugh at that. It was over six months ago since he had found out. It felt like such a long time ago.

"And what's that supposed to mean?" I said, sticking out my tongue. I headed to the girls' locker room as Squid headed to the boys'. I changed into my shorts and short sleeve shirt and then headed out into the gym. Guess what we were play...My favorite. Free time. So. I grabbed a basketball and started shooting. Oh did I mention Squid was also on the boys' basket ball team. I'm on the girls' basketball team, cheerleading squad, and even the softball team. Well, Squid was shooting a three point shot when I snuck up behind him and screamed "FORE!" just as he shot. Of course he missed, then whipped around.

"Don't you know that 'fore' is in golf not basketball," Squid said, stealing my ball from my hands.

"I know! But it made you miss your shot," I laughed. I went after him as he backed up, stole the ball from him and made a three point shot.

"You've been practicing!" he gasped, watching the ball go through the hoop. He then looked back at me. "What do you say for one on one?"

"I say let's go," I said, grinning.

General POV

In the end, Ashley won the game. She had been practicing or maybe Squid let her win. Well, after she took a shower and got dressed she headed to her locker to get her stuff for second period which just happened to be Italian. One of the classes she had with Squid. She was walking to it when he caught up to her.

"Did we have Italian homework last night?" he asked.

"Nope. Just study," Ashley said.

"Like what?"

"Si miente una schiaffo!" Ashley just had to say it as she laughed.

"HEY!" he yelled after he translated it in his head. Ashley was already bolting down the hall though and by the time he reached her, she was already in class. Squid took his assigned seat in the front of the class, which just happened to be right next to Ashley. Today though, they were assigned a group and they set their desks up in seven groups of four. Ashley was made to sit next to Squid who just happened to keep poking her in her side as they tried to work on their group project. They were working with Marina's older brother, Jason and his girlfriend.

"So. Now you must start writing a lost and found ad for a newspaper in pairs. Okay," Mrs. Bowers stated as the bell rang.

"Wanna work together?" Squid asked Ashley as they headed for third period. Ashley had math, Squid had English.

"Sure. See you later," Ashley said before walking off to math. They had a math quiz on all the stuff they had learned this year, almost like a mid-term.

Marina's POV

At lunch, I sat with Zero, Lysa, and Twitch. I held seats for Squid and Ashley but to my surprise, only Ashley sat down at our table.

"Where's Squid?" Zero asked.

"He's off eating with his football buddies and their girlfriends. Let's just say, there was no room for me," Ashley said, unpacking her lunch.

"I'm so going to kick that kid's sorry ass!" I said, trying to spot him in the wild crowd in the cafeteria. I finally spotted him not even two tables away. He had his back to us and was laughing with his supposed friends. I picked up my straw, got a spit ball ready and aimed to make sure I hit his bare neck. His hand reached up after I blew through the straw. I hit him dead center in the back of his neck. He turned around to see me glaring at him. Then I noticed he looked past me to look at Ashley. She was eating her sandwich, her diet coke open, sitting in front of her. She had a book in the other hand, reading it. That's when Squid stood up, grabbed his lunch, and sat down next to Ashley.

"Hey," he greeted.

"Took you long enough to notice," I said with a smirk, looking down at my plate.

"I was just hanging out with my friends. Do you have a problem?" Squid asked.

"No. I just think you should treat Ashley better," I snapped at him, staring right into his eyes. What Ash saw in him is beyond me?

"What the hell do you mean?"

"I mean, you ditch plans that you have with her just so you can go get drunk with your buddies. You're such a great boyfriend! If I had a boyfriend like you, you would've been kicked in the balls so many times not to mention I would've already broken up with you."

"What Marina is trying to say is that Ashley gets treated like shit by your buddies, or even by you when you're with your buddies. You can at least be nicer to her," Lysa said. Ashley was probably going to murder us but hey, if she wasn't going to say anything, we'd have to.

"Actually, I'm trying to stop my buddies from treating her like shit. Coz if they mess with her, they mess with me," Squid snapped back. Ashley looked at us.

"Listen. Why don't you all just mind your own fuckin' business," she snapped at us before storming out of the cafeteria. Squid, of course, ran after her.

sometimes I have dreams, picture myself flying, above the clouds, high up in the sky, hungering the world, with my magic below, never being scared, but then I realized, I'm super girl and, I'm here to save the world, but I wanna know, who's gonna save me, I'm super girl and, I'm here to save the world, but I wanna know, why I feel so alone.
