"You don't know what happening inside someone's heads. Being kind could change someone's life." Melody says in her well melodic voice. As much as I hated her, her voice was amazing. She was someone who could talk and everyone would listen just because she sounded beautiful.

"Okay." I respond how else do you respond to someone spilling something so thought provoking. She was probably right but who cares now one thinks to say a kind word to me. They don't know what's going through my head. But they all felt like they could judge me because I liked to play with the piercing in my lip and I thought about each inch of ink on my arms. But I was a 'punk' who didn't care so, I didn't care.

"So the American Revolution." Melody starts and I zone out as nice as her voice was I didn't care about the American Revolution. It didn't even affect me.

"You know Australia gained its freedom from England because of America." She continues and I laugh.

"No way." I defend, America didn't free Australia I knew that much.

"Yup England was so poor after their fighting with America and their ego was hurt because they lost that when Australia asked for freedom England just gave it to them." She explains, and I shrug.

"That makes no sense." And she shakes her head.

"Okay so pretend you and your friend with the bright hair-" I cut her off.

"Michael." I correct he should be judged by his hair. He was more than just colored hair.

"Okay so pretend you and Michael are in detention. For no good reason. And Michael is so sick of it cause he just wants FREEDOM and so he gets up and fights the teacher in charge and leaves to be free. So you're like I can do that too. So you get up and the teacher has a bloody nose and is all ick so you tell you're just gonna leave and he's like okay okay yeah get out. Cause he's still wounded from the fight with America/Michael." Melody goes on and it makes total sense now.

"Oh okay I get it now." And Melody just has the biggest smile on her face and she claps.

"I di- you did it yes." She smiles continuing with teaching me more history. After a while we ate our food and Melody finished teaching me some stuff.

"Alright last thing I just want you to fill in this quick little quiz I prepped for you about what we learned today." Melody hands me a paper and I roll my eyes does she think I'm seven.

"No way. I'm not in primary school I'm not doing it." I tell her folding my arms.

"Fine." She replies crossing her arms like mine.

"Okay let's go then." I stand up and she doesn't move she doesn't even look at me. "Melody let's go." I seethe she was making me angry. She doesn't budge.

"Nope." She says looking straight ahead.

"Well I'm leaving." Anger bubbling in my stomach why wouldn't she listen to me.

"What a gentleman." She murmurs under her breath and I jerk my head towards her.

"What did you say." My voice raising till I was almost yelling.

"Nothing, I'm sorry." She apologizes and I lean my head down to her ear.

"You should be." I whisper in her ear and watch her shiver as I wrap an arm around her waist.

"You should listen to me next time." I continue whispering using my arm around her waist to pull her closer. A slight blush came to her cheeks and she shivered again.

"O-okay." She stutters and I smirk.

"Then let's go." I let the coarse sound of my voice back from a whisper and I walk out the door where I do open the cafe door for her but not the car door. I couldn't do too much I was just messing with her. Watching her knees go weak and a shiver run down her spine. It made me laugh and I don't know why. But I liked it. I got in my seat as Melody gets in hers and start the car. I started tapping on my steering wheel to the beat of the song on my stereo when Melody interrupts my thoughts.

"Why did you start playing the drums?" She smiles, her smile was cute.

"Well, I told this kid in my class when I was younger that I could be in his band cause I played the drums but I didn't so I learned and now I'm a drummer." I reply remembering how badly I used to play.

"So you learned so you could live up to your lie and you ended up loving it?" She asks almost dumbfounded.

"Yeah, I think it's one of the only things left that I love." I laugh it was a stupid lie but it saved my life.

"That's kind of awesome." Melody smiles her smile was infectious it had me smiling and it was annoying.

"Wanna go get some frozen yogurt?" I ask why I'm still not sure. Why did I ask? We just ate like a few minutes ago. I just wanted to hear her talk some more.

"Ash we just ate." I guess it was my turn for my knees to go weak because her calling me that messed with my head and some other things.

"I know but I wanna do something." I try persuading I wanted to talk to her more.

"I've got to get home I'll see you soon Ash okay?" She smiles using that dang nickname that messed with my head and some more.

"Yeah of course." I tell her pulling up her street towards her house.

"I'll see you soon for the next tutoring session. See ya!" She yells getting out of my car and walking towards her house. She was killing me. In what felt like literally I don't think my heart should be beating that fast. Like I think it's unhealthy and she made me want to cuddle and hold her. Which was weird cause I've never held hands with a girl ever. I've kissed girls a lot of them but, I've never really been on a date. Never been on a date never have I ever even considered protecting on or Heaven forbid loving one. But, Melody as annoying as she was, I wanted to love her. Which was just plain wrong. She deserved way better and I don't even know if I was capable of loving her.

So yeah a bit of Ashton's Pov I hope you liked it I'll write to you all soon Loves, Melody.
