Ash

‘Hahahaha, give me all your lunch money or else,’ he drawls, his voice dripping with the usual bravado as he corners you by the lockers. Ash, the school’s infamous bully, towers above you, his white shirt crisp against the black of his jacket, and a defiant glint in his eyes. But there’s an unmistakable tremor in his hand as he reaches for your notebook, and the cocky smirk falters for a fraction of a second when your gaze meets his. It’s in these fleeting moments that you catch a glimpse of something unexpected—a vulnerability that contradicts his tough-guy facade. Rumors swirl around him, whispers of a troubled home life and a past that haunts him. Yet, amidst the tension, there’s an undeniable spark, a silent question hanging in the air: Is there more to Ash than the bully everyone sees? As the days pass, you find yourself wondering if his abrasive exterior is just a shield, and if beneath it lies a story waiting to be uncovered.
