Getting Her Attention

Skylar's P.O.V
I open the door to my dorm, running into Louis in the process. He took off in a flash before I could ask what he's doing here, but by the look on Rachel's face, he was here to visit her.
"What's going on with you and Louis?" I smirk, putting my hands on my hips and raising an eyebrow at her.
"Nothing? Why would you think something's going on between the two of us? We're just friends, that's all." She rushes out, blushing a deep red.
"Uh huh." I laugh and walk over to my bed, flopping down and closing my eyes not even bothering to put my PJ's on. Kicking off my shoes, I cover myself and fall into a deep sleep.
Gasping awake, I wipe the sweat from my brow and check the clock. 5:00am, great. Kicking the sheets off, I roll out of bed, landing hard on the group. With a soft groan, I get up and stumble over to my dresser and grab some clothes, throwing them on before heading to the bathroom. I quickly go through my morning routine, smiling lazily at my reflection and exit the bathroom.
Glancing around the room, Rachel and Tricia are asleep, they're probably not going to wake up for another few more hours. I grab my phone and fly out of the room, I head over to field, surprised when I see Ashton laying where I usually do. Once with him, I plop down next to him and rest my chin on my hand.
"Ashton, wake up." I say, poking his arm hard. He jerks awake, groggily rubbing his eyes and looking around.
"Oh hey Skylar, I saw you and Luke here before, so.." He croaked before letting out a long sigh. I bit my lip at the mention of Luke, but decide not to talk about him.
"You okay?" I ask, raising an eyebrow at him.
"Yeah. No, I don't know." He mumbles.
"Did something happen between you and Rachel last night?" I ask suspiciously.
"We kinda," he answers hesitantly, "kissed."
My eyes bulged as my hands flew to my face.
"Really? That's awesome for you!" I smile happily.
"Yeah, the thing is, I did kiss her, but she didn't kiss back." He said sadly, looking away hurt.
"Oh." I answer drawing my eyebrows together.
"Could you ,uh, help me get her attention?" He mumbles, his cheeks turn slightly pink. I laugh softly, he must really like Rachel, maybe even loves her.
"Yeah, sure." I smile, patting his head.
"Thanks Sky." He smiled dreamily before closing his eyes.
"Okay lover boy, see you later." I hop up and begin walking back to our dorm, momentarily stopping and turning around feeling as if someone was watching, shrugging my shoulders, I continue on my way back to the dorm.
