Chapter 17 - Borrowed Outfit

Megan's POV

"Thank you, Ashton, but you don't need to do that. I can take care of myself." I said as he walked me out from the cafeteria while Oscar and Alice are walking behind us.

"Oh, by running away from them? Megan, they can't just do something like that to you. And please, tell me next time if they will bother you again. I know Lauren was harassing you lately, and it was because of me. And I am sorry, Meg, I wasn't there to protect you during those times. But I am telling you, I will make them pay for what they have done to you." Ashton declared, and I felt so guilty that after Lauren tore my literature assignment this morning, I planned on pushing him away.

"Ashton, you must understand that I should remain silent because I am not like you," I replied.

"What do you mean by that, Megan?" He asked me, and he stopped in his tracks, and he faced me. And I can see the concern written all over his face.

"Lauren belonged to your society, she is beautiful and rich, and I am aware her dad is one of the sponsors of the scholarship program of this school," I replied.

"Yes, but it doesn't entitle her to disrespect her fellow student's right even if you are a scholar or a regular student. She has no right to harass you, Meg." Ashton said, and his voice is still angry, and when he saw my expressions, his face softened.

"I am sorry, Meg. I am just upset that they did something like that to humiliate you. And I know it was because of me, and I guess you are right. I think it is better that I should stay away from you." He said, and I suddenly felt worried if he will not continue to date me, and I bowed my head for I don't want him to see the sadness on my face. And I felt him moved closer to me, and he cupped my chin, and he made me looked at his handsome face.

"But, I have to apologize to you because it is too late now, Meg. I can't stay away from you." He said, and I smiled at him, and my heart melted when Ashton gave me his sweetest smile, and I was hoping that he will kiss me again, but it seems he was avoiding looking at my lips.

"Do you have a skirt?" He asked me, and I got confused.

"No, I don't, but don't worry, I will be fine," I said.

"You need to change your dress, Megan, and I know how wet the back of your dress is, so you have to change." He said.

"Ashton, I have here extra skirt and blouse, and I know these clothes will fit Megan's body," Alice said, and I couldn't believe they were listening to our conversation. And I felt horrified because I am aware of Alice's clothing. She loves wearing miniskirts and crop tops.

"Alice, thank you for your concern, but no." I declared after I turned around and faced my best friend.

"Megan, please, don't do this to yourself, you are wet, and you can be sick if you will not change your clothes. Health is wealth, Meg, and would you please do this for me?" Ashton begged me, and he looked so adorable right now, and I am aware he never does this to anyone.

"If you want, you can wear my Jersey, Meg." He said, and I smiled because of how many times I imagined myself walking around campus wearing his jersey.

"I can't, Ashton. I couldn't imagine what they are going to do with me. If they see me wearing your jersey, I am sure I will not only get wet, but I will have bruises in my entire body." I replied, and he looked at my face.

"Okay, but please wear Alice's clothes, and one of these days, I will ask you to wear my jersey on one of my games, Megan." He said as he handed me the skirt and blouse from Alice. And I felt like jelly, and this is a dream come true for me, and I hear Oscar and Alice are giggling.

Alice accompanied me in going to the restroom while Oscar and Ashton are left outside, and I wonder what their conversation would be since I know Oscar has been crushing Ashton for a long while now, and I am sure he is so excited right now.

"Oh, Megan, I am so happy for you. I couldn't believe Ashton will do something like that. Well, it is good for them; at least someone put them in their place. He got it bad for you, Meg. Ashton Priztgold is falling in love with my best friend." She said while giggling, and I put my hand on her mouth since I was afraid some female students might hear Alice and will report it to Lauren. And I don't want to experience another drama. What happened today was enough already.

"Oh my goodness! Look at you, Meg! You are stunning." Alice said the moment I got out from the stall after changing my clothes, I realized Alisa did it on purpose, she wet my maxi dress with her soda. And when I looked at my reflection on the full-length mirror, my mouth hangs open as I can see my body figure. I never wear something like this short on campus. And I seldom wear shorts in our house, since I also wear sweatpants and jogging pants, or tights. My long legs were given emphasis as I wore Alice's skirt, and it hugged my hips, and the dangling blouse emphasized my boobs, and I tried to cover my cleavage, but Alice removed my hands.

"Do you know why that blouse is designed like that? To showcase your hidden assets, Meg, it is about time those bitches will know how beautiful you are." She said.

"Alice, you know I can't wear this kind of clothing," I complained.

"I am sorry, Megan, I have your wet dress now, and you only have two options right now, you will attend your next class wearing that type of outfit or stay here in this restroom for the rest of your life," Alice said, and I can tell she is serious, and I am sure she will not give me back my dress. I remained standing in front of the mirror while she side braided my hair, and I was begging her to give me back my dress, but she only shook her head.

"I will never listen to your pleading, Megan, not this time. You know I care about you and I love you, and as your best friend, you are aware I always watch out for you, and I am sure that skirt and blouse can't hurt you, and I will never make you a laughing stock of the entire academy, Megan. You looked so beautiful right now, and I want everyone to know that you look this gorgeous, and those cheerleaders were nothing compared to you." She said, and I couldn't help myself from smiling at her.

"You are my best friend, Alice," I replied.

"Of course, but I am honest with you, Megan, so you have to believe all that I have said," Alice replied.

"I think we need to get out now since our class is about to start," Alice said, and it is my cue to leave the restroom. And we hastily got out, and I can feel the rapid beating of my heart as we walked towards Ashton and Oscar, and I can see the surprised look on their faces.

"Wow! You looked so beautiful, Megan." Ashton declared while he continued to stare at my entire body, and his eyes scanned my whole frame with intensity, and they lingered on my breasts, and I swallowed my saliva when he finally looked at my face.

"And right now, I don't want any boys to look at you, Meg, but we don't have enough time, and I am aware how you hate tardiness." He said, and I smiled at him, and he moves closer to me while he offered his hand to me, and I took his palm right away, and the moment I felt his warm hand brushed mine, I can feel the sparks of electricity traveled in my entire torso.

"Are you ready?" He asked, and I nodded my head since I am afraid to talk. We walked to our next class holding hands, and I felt like I would faint when I heard the girls gasped when we passed the hallways. I can see the shock on their faces, and I can tell the boys are looking at me with wide eyes. I am aware they are looking at my cleavage, and I move the blouse higher to cover my asset, and I can tell my flat tummy is now in full display, but they remained silent because the football prodigy and the most handsome guy on the campus is walking beside me. And before we get inside our class, Ashton takes off his football varsity jacket, and he asked me to wear it. I smiled at him as I realized he wants me to cover my exposed skin, and I became so drawn to Ashton, and I know I can no longer say no to him because deep inside my heart, I really want him to be my boyfriend.
