Falling too hard

Four

I quickly grab my stuff and head out the door. Oof! "Sorry I really have to get to lunch," I say. "Oh sorry I just trying to get my friend. He's slow," the stranger replies. He's tall dark-ish skin and curly hair. He's also wearing a basketball jersey.

"You play basketball?" I ask really curious. "Uh yeah I have played for over a year here..." he says. "Brendon hurry up!"

I look at him confused. "Your friends with brendon?" I ask. "Yes... why?" He asks. Now he looks confused. "You seem so...nice.." I say.

"Thanks," I turn around and see Brendon. "Your welcome," I say sarcastically. "Come on D. Let's go to lunch." Says Brendon.

"Uhhh... could I go with you guys. I don't know where the Cafeteria is..." I ask. "Whatever first year c'mon," says Brendon.

I realize I'm kind of short compared to them. "So what does 'D' stand for?" I ask. "Darius..." Darius replies. "Cool I'm Ashley.." I say.

How does my voice sound so chill?! I'm standing next to extremely good looking guys. And those guys are escorting me to lunch...

We finally get to the Cafeteria which seems like it took 30 minutes. "Ashley over here!" I look and see Sam standing next to Hannah calling me over to a table.

I quickly grab my food and head over there. "Hey!!" I say as I sit down. Who were you walking with? Asks Hannah. "Uh Brendon and Darius... why?" I ask. Sam almost spits out her milk.

"Ya mean a couple of the most hottest guys in school!?" Asks Hannah. "Uh yeah... but Brendon is a asshole," I say. "Says the girl who's blushing!" Says Sam. "You have a crush on Brendon don't you?"

"Uh kinda. In baking class he works literally right across from me.." I say. I have butterflies in my tummy. I tell them about everything that happened. Their jaws dropped the whole time.

Once I finish I'm even stunned. "Girl look.." I do what Hannah says and see Brendon table looking at me every. Everyone except Brendon whose eating his lunch.

Darius and someone else is smirking at me then glancing at Brendon. They are giving mixed signals. I look around and seeing some girls glaring at me. Meh.

"Who's the other one at the table?" I ask. "Oh thats Akio he's pretty shy," says Sam. "Noted," I reply.

Lunch goes by pretty fast and next thing I know I'm in my last period. I see Phoebe and sit next to her. "Hey.." I say. She does respond. "Ok then..."

It's 5 o'clock and I decide to go to the grocery store. That is after I meet up with everyone in the common room. I want to cook some homemade pizza and a mini banana split for dessert. And of course get the regular! Ya know. Cereal and Ramen!

When I go to the store I grab everything I need. I also grab some Dr. Pepper, almond joys, reeses, and so BBQ Pringles.

"All I need is sauce for the pizza... where is it..." I say to myself. I find the aisle and holy shit... Brendon's here. I almost turn around and leave when "Hey Ashley..."

I turn around and see Brendon looking at me not smiling... but Akio whoses standing next to him is. "Hi Brendon... and Akio.." I say, the butterflies are returning once again.

"Are you looking for something?" Asks Brendon. "You're actually standing in front of it..." I say.

"Are you making spaghetti to!!?" Asks Akio. He didn't seem shy. "No pizza actually!" I say. "Is Darius at basketball practice?"

"Yeah it's Brendon's job to make the food," says Akio. "Oh I just go grocery shopping because Hannah has fashion meet ups and Sam has skateboarding stuff," I say.

I grab the sauce.*Crashhh* "Fuck!!!" I say. I dropped the fucking sauce!! I run and get an employee.

Everyone helps clean it up. "I'm sorry boys. I didn't me to drop it... or get it on ya'lls pants. "Your fine! Now I have to do laundry," says Akio.

I check out and head back to my dorm. Everyone is gone so I can make dinner. "Hey I'm going to take a shower," says Sam. "Oh ok I'll be done in 15!" I reply.. I play GUY.EXE by superfruit while I make dinner.

~Six feet tall and super strong~

*knock knock*

I just need to make the sauce from scratch. Yay....

~Kind and ain't afraid to cry
Or treat his momma right
That's right, that's what I like~

*KNOCK KNOCK*

Shit. I go open the door.

"Thought you could use some sauce..." says Brendon whose leaning against the door frame. "I-I u-uhh... thanks," I say and slam the door.

"Your very particular about your type..." says Brendon. Fuck he's still here. "It's a song," I reply. "Still, you have a very pretty voice,"

*gulp*

"Thanks you to," FUCK DID I JUST SAY THAT?! he chuckles. "Thanks," he says. Good thing the door is closed because I'm blushing like mad.

"Uh my roommate's calling for me. Got to go bye..." I say wait for a response. "See you tomorrow Ash..." he says. I hear him look away.

Once everyone is back I serve dinner then desert. I tell everyone (including Phoebe) what happened. From the grocery to the sauce gift.

"No way!!! He totally likes you!!" Says Hannah. "But he said he doesn't like first years..." I say.

"Boys lie thats why I don't like them," says Sam. "Same," says Phoebe.
The two glance at each other. Sam blushes and looks away. And I think I see Phoebe blush just the littlest bit.

I take a shower then head to bed. Does he really like me? Is the question that keeps floating in my mind.

I don't know if I want the answer.
