"Don't mind him" Ashton said and pat my shoulder "He's kind of a dick to people until you get to know him"

"So he gets better?"

"Well, later on you get used to it so it doesn't bother anymore" he said with a smile "What's your next class?"

"Photo lab at 2pm" I say reading my schedule printed on my notebook

"Wow you have a lot of time to chill, I wish I had"

"In Canada I took more classes than the usual so most of the things I was supposed to take here I already did back home" I was starting to feel comfortable around Ashton, he was easy to talk

"Smart girl, I'm an English Major but my classes suck so I sleep through them" Ashton seemed proud of himself about that "Cmon, let's get some ice cream"

"Don't you have class?" I ask, I never skipped class. Yes, I am a good girl.

"My class starts around 10:30, I've got time. Just chill, good girl." He took me by my hand so I would start walking. "Cold hands! Jesus you're not in Canada anymore" He giggled

"I think I always had cold hands, my Gammy said that's because the amount of snow I ate as a kid" I said and he laughed. "I thought it was frozen cotton candy"

"You are hilarious!" He laughed loud. People were looking at us, it made me more uncomfortable when some guys stopped to talk to Ashton and he introduced me to them.

I just wanted to find Taylor and hide in the library until after lunch. I fished my phone from my bag and texted her:

Where are you? Please come find me. xo

"Cmon, there's our ice cream" He pointed at an ice cream truck next to some other food trucks, this campus is huge!

"You didn't tell me that you're Mr. Popular" I say with a light laugh while pecking my choco mint ice cream. We were sitting on the grass next to some palm trees

"Oh, please" he giggled "I just know some people here, most of them I don't really know but they've been to parties or festivals that me and my band played at and recognize me in campus, thats all." Ashton was amused by his blueberry ice cream

"So you have a band and fans. Wow, you're getting really popular I don't think I can hang out with you anymore" I say with a playful tone, weird that I feel comfortable enough to make small jokes, thats a big deal for me

"Well, I can always make room to my favorite little angel" He smiled and bumped his arm on mine

"Irwin!" A guy with a green day tee waved at us his hair was light green and with him there was another boy with caramel skin and asian eyes. They sat with us and they both smiled at me. Dang, everyone around here is attractive? "Hey mate! Already found a nice lady!" the green haired boy gave Ashton a thumbs up and I blushed one more time today.

"This stupid lil fucker is Michael, and this is Calum" Ashton introduced me to the new duo that joined us "Guys, this is Alaska she's from Canada and I met her this morning"

"Hi, pretty" Calum said with a smiled. And I blushed again.

"Jesus, the only thing you know how to do is blush?" Michael said in a playful tone. And I blushed again.

"You guys are not making it any easier" I said kinda low

"You look like a porcelain doll, I just want to cup your little face and try not to break you" Calum said

"Stop guys" Ashton said with a laugh "She's very shy"

"Yes I am"

"Okay, okay" Michael said lifting his hands like he was being stopped by a cop "So, Ash probably didn't invite you to the homecoming festival tonight, he never invites the cute ones, so would you like to go? Its at 7pm at the pier" Michael looked straight into my gray eyes, it was like he was looking into my soul.
