It was rainy for some reason and super cold so the only thing I was thinking about was running to my room after class to wrap myself around my blankets. We sat for so long in Mr Bryson's lecture I started zoning out and started thinking of where and how I was going to spend my Christmas holidays that were soon to come.
"Lola, you coming or what?" someone said as they tapped on my shoulder, startling me. That's when I realized that everyone was leaving and the lecture was over. "Yeah, yeah..." I chuckled as Melanie looked at me with a confused look. "Whats got you all up in yo' head like that? You thinking of Ethan or something?" she smirked while wiggling her eyebrows. "What the hell? No." I sucked my teeth before blushing.
We left class and headed to our room to refreshen.
"God, I'm so tired." I groaned, throwing myself on my bed.
"You can say that again. I've never felt so not interested in Mr Bryson's class."
"Yeah?" I giggled. "Why, because he's a good interpreter?"
"Because he's hot, Lola, get your head in the game!" she said before I laughed. "Sorry but I ain't the type to like old dudes." I said.
"Mr Bryson isn't old, he's like in his early thirties."
"And that ain't too old for you? Eww. Anyway, I don't wanna sit here and debate whether our lecture is hot or not so I'm going to the library."
"No you're not, I done told you we're going to watch the basketball game today."
"Seriously? When? Cause I don't remember."
"How can you? You were too indulged in Ethan to remember." she said before I blushed again. I always blushed at the mention of his name. "Whatever, I'll go with you, maybe he'll be there too, lemme ask him." I said before pulling out my phone. "Yeah, whatever, I'm gonna get ready." Melanie said before going somewhere, I was too busy texting Ethan to notice where she went.

And that's it. It has been like that since the past few weeks, months? I'm not sure, I lost count. That conversation was better, he usually replies curtly and dryly. He was never active to talk to me anymore and he barely organized dates anymore. Maybe he was just too busy with football like he always said. I trusted him and loved him and I knew he loved me back. Our relationship started a year ago when I was just a freshman and he was in his second year. He had said he had his eyes on me ever since I got to UCLA so he asked me out and I didn't hesitate. Most people said he was a player who never took love seriously or believed in it but I saw otherwise. One of those people were Melanie, she never liked Ethan and she always thought he was cheating on me but I didn't care about what people were saying.
A few minutes later, Melanie walked back in the room with a white basketball jersey on with the name Kinsley behind it. "Where'd you go?" I asked.
"To borrow a jersey from Dame."
"Oh, you and Damien, huh?" I smirked. "We're not." she giggled. "And if we were, I would've told you." she said. "Wait, but if you were borrowing from Dame, why does it say Kingsley?" I asked, bewildered. "Apparently, the douche couldn't lend me any of his because they're all dirty and the only clean one is the one he'll be wearing for the game." she said as I nodded slowly. "Then who the hell is Kingsley?" I asked then noticed her jaw drop. "Girl, are you in the same campus as we are? How can you not know who Ashton Kingsley is?" she sat down clearly amused by me.
"Wha—I don't know how I don't know him, maybe cause I don't give a ding-dong about watching some guys try throw a ball into a net."
"Okay... Great explanation, really needed that. Ashton is thee best basketball player this school has, he plays for RWE and is a star. Want his Instagram?"
"I barely wanna go to his game and you're offering me his Insta?"
"Whatever, get dressed, let's go."
"I'm already dressed."
"You look like a grandma."
"Oh, I do?" I asked sarcastically before we laughed. It was too cold in the morning so I had to cover up and apparently to Melanie, I was dressed like a grandma. I took off all my leggings and wore a baggy boyfriend jean instead. My grey UCLA hoodie and a beanie to stay warm.

We found a good spot a bit far from the basketball court. Everyone including Melanie was cheering and chanting songs while I just sat and ate the Lay's chips both Melanie and I were supposed to eat together. The basketball players ran in nit let me tell you, their aura, was on top. My jaw dropped when the guy Melanie was telling me about sprinted in. Everyone chanted his name 'Ashton Kingsley' with posters of him everywhere. He had the aura of the old Justin Bieber and ya'll know how crazy that was.
