Avery's POV:

When Alex left L. A, it looked like my world had already fallen behind but I wasn't. The only things I wouldn't ever forget, his touch, embrace, the taste of his lips, everything about us. I know I one-hundred percent fully understand his life of being a world class rock star and while me just chilling around in my low-key vibe. Canada is just a few hours away from Los Angeles.

We've been a couple for a few weeks lately. My family didn't know about us yet. The only thing they know is that Alex and I are friends. I don't know if I should tell this one immediately on hand but I'm completely over thinking of what they would say about Alex and I. After my split with Jordan, they were completely upset about him. As I said, "honey, Alex is better than Jordan. He will treat you to the fullest and he believes exactly from dating to marriage. Alex is totally different from Jordan. Jordan's an ass and Alex isn't. Trust the process, Alex completely accepts you as he also doesn't care about your fucking past".

Lately, volleyball training has been hectic and tiring at the same time. I don't know where to start anymore since I have to balance between college academics and athletics in the first place. I never got good sleep in the past few days as my body totally hurts and my arm has been hurting me from practicing spikes. Meanwhile, our coach Jonathan told us that we can still win the tournament between UCLA and Stanford no matter what happens. Even if we lose this, we still have many chances to rise up on our feet.

Right now, we're in the middle of the practice. Abigail, Bridgette, Dakota, the girls from my friendship group were also here. But hey, we built a stronger relationship with my teammates, the UCLA Blue Royals. Until, our coach whistled, signaling the team to have a break first.

While in the middle of the break;

"How's your sex life with Alex?", Bridgette asked loudly as she drank the water from the bottle

Everyone from the team were all eyes on my as Bridgette tackled about Alex and I - this girl really hits my nerve;

" What? " , Everyone was shocked that I was dating Alex from the Arctic Monkeys and so, we sat down and formed a circle on the floor.

"Wait a second, Alex Turner from the Arctic Monkeys?!", my teammate Hannah was also curious and I just nodded.

Eva then patted my shoulder, "Y'all be not surprise that Avery's currently dating the singer from the Arctic Monkeys because all of us before dated those lanky rock stars from different Californian universities",

Raven then finished wiping her face, "Exactly, but about your point about those lanky boys who're in a silly band, Avery's totally lucky that she's got the hot dude who's the William Shakespeare in this modern era"

Chelsea added, "You all are making me jealous because of every boys in the band stuff", she raised her brow for a bit

"Alright! Let's just stop arguing about this. Let's be fucking honest! Who among you here who's dated boys from a band, past or present, I don't care", Eva's voice was kind of funny and aggressive as she let all of us raise our hands.

And all of us did. We were totally honest. No surprise for Bridgette and Abigail since Briggy's had a fling with Jamie and Abigail used to date this talented musician, Hudson during our 11th grade.

Billie was curious as Bridgette and Abigail also raised their hands, "Wait a second, Bridgette and Abigail also dated guys from a band?!"
