*Ashton's P.O.V*

Today is my first day at the boarding school. It's crazy I know, but I have to deal with it, it was my own fault. I am kind of the rebellious teenager. I got kicked off two of my schools before the last one, it was actually quite okay, before I met him. He pulled me back into my old spiral and when I got kicked off again, my parents thought it was better for me to go to a school like this one. I have absolutly no clue what I can expect and I'm beyond nervous. 

"Ashton?" my mom asks while knocking on the door. "Are you ready? We have to go." I sigh and run a hand through my hair. "yes." I breath out. I open the door revealing my mom with a big smile on her face. "that's good, love. Your dad will take your bags downstairs. I nod and walk past her, going downstairs. When I'm there I enter the kitchen and take out a glass of water and some asprin, my head is killing me. My mom comes in the moment I put the pill into my mouth and frowns at me. I sigh and roll my eyes at her. "mom, calm down it's just asprin. I have a headache probably because of my nerves." She nods quickly and tells me I need to get in the car.

We're on the road for an hour or so now and I'm getting more nervous by every passing second. Marianas trench blasting through my earphones. I look out of the window and smile a little, I'm going to miss portland. I don't know why, I got quite used to it in my 17 years of living experience. I've only been out of Oregon twice, and that was to visit my grandparents in Boston. I know Seattle in Oregon too but, I don't know, it sort of feels like a different world to me. Maybe because I will be on my own somewhere for once. Experience things by myself for once. I always kind of lived my life for other people. I know that sounds really weird coming from my mouth, I've been kicked out off three schools for god's sake but I don't know it still doesn't really feel like me. It's not that I know what 'me' feels like, I have absolutly no clue but well, we'll see.

I must have fallen asleep because I feel a hand on my shoulder, slightly shaking me. "Ashton." my mom's soft voice whispers. "Ashton, wake up. We're here." I slowly open my eyes and sit up straight. I wrub my eyes and open the car door, taking a second to look around me. "holy-" I try to say but before I can finish there's a man interupting me. "helloooo." his happy voice screams from behind me, he has an accent. I turn around and almost laugh at the sight. He has a massive mustache and a big bright smile. He's really small and almost as round as a ball. "you must be Ashton!" he says, his smile growing bigger if that's even possible. I chuckle at him, and nod my head. "Yes I am."

"I'm Rosetti, but everyone calls me spaghetti because I'm italian. At least I guess.." I laugh at him. "It's very nice to meet you." 

"Are your parents going with you or not?" he asks in his Italian accent. "uh," I look behind me for my mom to sort of ask her what she wants. "we are going, we can't arrive back home that late." I can't help but feel a sting in my stomach when she says that, like I do not matter anymore. It feels like a weight is lifted of her chest now I'm here and she doesn't have to deal with my shit anymore. I just shake it off and hug my dad. After that my mom comes but I don't know, it feels weird, like it isn't supposed to be like this.

When they're gone Rosetti smiles at me. "Come on, Ashton! let's go, I still have some cooking to do." I follow him towards the door and get in, really weird and awkwardly because my bags are way too big. "I'll bring you to your room, it's upstairs." he says, pointing towards the stairs. I nod at him and stumble up the stairs, being the clumsy ass I am. When I finally made it upstairs I follow Rosetti through a long hallway. It actually looks quite cozy in here, not that I see much just a hall with paintings but I don't know, it just gives me that home feeling. When we're almost at the end of the hallway Rosetti stops abrubtly, making me always bumb into him. "we're here." he says turning around towards me. "this is your key, I have to go back to kitchen. see you at dinner!" before I realize what's happining he is already gone. "thank you!" I shout after him, but I doubt he's heared it.

I quickly but the key in the hole and open the door. When I do a shriek comes from my left and I turn my head around in shock the last thing I see is a body rolling from the bed there. "oh my god." I say, shocked. "are you okay?" A blond heared boy sticks his head out and laughs. "yeah sorry, I just okay forget about it uhm can you maybe turn around for a second?" I nod slowly, not really understanding why. After like ten second I'm still staring at him. "uh, are you going to turn or what?" he asks awkwardly. 

"oh yeah sorry, uh yeah." A blush creeps on my cheek so I'm glad I can turn around. 

"okay, I'm done." he says. It's actually now that I realize he has an Australian accent. "awesome." I say, chuckling at him. "I'm Ashton by the way." 

"Luke." he says, giving me a big grin. "sooo, how do you like it here so far?" he asks sort of awkwardly, plopping down on the bed. "well, beside from a man who tells me to call him spaghetti and a boy who rolls of his bed the second I walk in, it's quite alright. Not that I've been here for this long but yeah. and by the way, don't forget the weird turning around thing." I say, waving vaguely with my hand, scrunching up my nose a little. "hmm, yeah. let's just not talk about that." 

We talk a little while I put all my clothes in the closet and take my other stuff out. Luke tells me about his family back in Australia and how he misses them a lot. I tell him a little about my life in portland too, but not that much. The fact that we don't mention the reason why were here makes me feel a lot better and more comfortable. When I'm finally done putting my stuff down a fall onto my bed and take the little ball that's on my night stand, throwing it in the air. "What's your favourite music?" he asks after a couple minutes of silence. 

"I listen to quite a lot of different things to be honest, I can't really tell what I like the most." I tell him, smiling up to the ceiling. "but what's your favourite song at the moment?" he asks me, sounding quite nervous. "what's with all the questions?" I chuckle at him. "hm, dunno. I just like to hear you talk I guess." I sit up staight when he says that, looking at him to see if he's joking or not. He just shrugs at me and looks down, playing with his weird puzzle thing again. 

"music I like huh?" he looks up from his puzzle, a big smile on his face. "well, at the moment I'm basically in love with Marianas Trench and The Fray." I smile a little. "I really-." he gets cut off by the bell. "dinner!" he chears, almost storming out of the room. "hey!" I scream after him. "wait for me!" I quickly leave the room and almost get a heartattack when I see Luke leaning against the wall beside the door. "holy shit, you almost gave me a heartattack!" he chuckles at me and start walking towards the stairs. 

"uhm, Ashton. Don't start thinking weird things about me because everyone is probably going to look really weird at you because you are with me."  a sad smile covers his lips and I feel the urge to wrap my arms around him. "hey don't worry." I smile at him and put my hand on his arm in a comforting manner.

It's been two weeks since I'm here and it's actually really cool, all I did was spent time with Louis and he seriously is the most amazing person I've ever met in my life. "hey Ashton?" he asks, turning on his side since were both laying on my bed. "yes?" I say, looking at his amazing blue eyes. "is it okay for me to do this?" I want to answer him but before I even had the chance to open my mouth he presses his lips to mine.
