Knowing Asher

"Yo girl"Amanda greeted and pulled me into a hug. She held me tightly like she didn't just see me few minutes ago before I excused myself to the bathroom.

'I don't think she is okay because she is touchy today"Angela mouthed to me and I chuckled in my head.

"I so badly wanted to rip her head off because how could she show up at our slumber party after what she did to you"she mumbled and I pulled her away slightly. "I know. And she was giving me smug look all night" I added.

"She had to bring her stupid friends and they were so hell bent on controlling what happened at our party"Rose grumbled rubbing her temples.

"Do you guys remember the time they said we shouldn't play board games because it was childish? Also the time everyone wanted to watch thriller movie but they argued to watch stupid romcom"Angela chimed and we nodded reminded of every single thing they did.

"We didn't listen to them at all so that counted for something"Lily said and we smiled agreeing with her.

We were talking about Katrina and her dumb friends who showed up at our girls' party in Rose's house. After avoiding me for a while, she finally decided to show up at our party. She didn't talk to me but kept smirking at me all through the night. She even tried to spill the chocolate pudding on me trying to regard it as an accident. We both know it wasn't an 'accident'.

"It was funny when Amanda planted a spider in her hair and Giana freaked out seeing it crawling down her face. Well they both freaked out and ran round the living room. Then somebody removed the spider to stop their screams"Angela said and we laughed.

That was super hilarious and Amanda managed to get it on video. We watched it a lot after everyone left. It was planned to be a sleepover but I guess everyone was tired of Katrina's nonsense. We threw them out after almost everyone left. "I hated it when they threw painful jabs at random girls. They even called Olive out on her sponge-bob pajama"Amanda scowled and I sighed remembering Olive didn't take it well. She packed her things and left even though I defended her.

"We must agree we gave them hell. I wished we had put laxatives in their drinks to get rid of them quickly"Angela frowned making us giggle.

It would have been fun to see them constantly running to toilet and leave eventually.

"Can't believe we came to school early today to say this. The other good part was when Stephanie told us about her date when everyone left"Angela squealed and I smiled reviewing it all again.

"I think you guys got up early just to go to my house to see the painting" I scoffed and they laughed. "It was a masterpiece. I will Mike can paint half like that"Lily pouted and I giggled. "And you learnt how to drive"Rose added and we nodded sharing a smile.

"School doesn't start in about thirty minutes, what should we do?"Angela asked looking at us for suggestions.

"I have no idea"Lily replied and Rose second that.

"Let's explore the secret passage because school starts"I said and they squealed.

"Never done this before"Angela said with a nervous smile and I squeezed her shoulders for comfort. "None of us have set foot in a secret passage before"Amanda commented.

"Let's go?"I didn't mean it to be a question but they nodded in agreement anyways.

I led the way going to the familiar route. I have been here once but the route is etched in my memory. We got into the room and I pushed the door lightly as Asher did. It gave out to reveal the door and I heard gasps behind me. "Is this fucking real?"Angela asked staring at the door as if expecting the wall to close back. I opened the door and turned on my phone torch and gestured for the girls to do the same.
