I twirled my hair as Liam ramble how much he became really good friends with a guy name Louis. Louis lives down the hall from Liam so every morning, Liam runs to his apartment before 8 for a run.

"Oh man did I tell you about this girl I've been seeing? Well, not seeing, like I'm literally looking at her from across the class. I always see her at the small starbucks that's right off campus."

"Oh yeah? What's her name?" I asked as I painted my nails, trying to go through boredom.

"Her name? Uh..."

"Liam not again," I groan. He always manages to look into a girl but always forgets her name or never gets her name. He also manages to be in the same class as her and still not know her name.

"It's not like I'm gonna make a move on her. Besides, she has a boyfriend. Rumor has it that it's been 2 years," He crunches on chips.

"Yeah no. Don't make a move or try to get her attention and be her friend," I shrugged even though he couldn't see me.

"I need to get her name first. So anyways, what's up with you?"

"Hm? Uh, nothing. Luke and Ally are both finally together," I said.

"Finally? I thought they were dating already?"

"Oh no! They kept a secret about hooking up behind my back and he finally asked her in front of everyone."

"Everyone?"

"Everyone."

We spoke for another hour or so, talking about Ashton and how it seems like he changed a bit. "Hey Sammy? Can we talk for a bit?" Ashton plops his head from my door upstairs.

"Sure." I said as I closed the nail polish. "Hey Liam? I'll talk to you later. Love you, bye,"

Ashton sat at the end of my bed. "When was your last relationship?" He asks.

"Freshman year? Didn't we already spoke about this?" I sighed. I honestly just wanna stop talking about my past relationship with Matt. It's history.

"Yeah I know. Are you gonna ask me when was my last relationship?" He mumbles as he picks on my blanket.

I let out a sigh and smiled. "When was your last relationship?"

"Sophomore year," He shrugs.

"So 3 years ago? Me too but I was a freshman," I nodded with a smile.

"Whatever, I can't talk to you about this anyways," He says as he gets up.

"What- no! Don't just walk away like that. Talk to me," I said as I grab his wrist.

He sat back down and held my hand for a bit. "How can I settle down with a girl when I know I'm not good enough?" He mumbles.

"Well maybe you should try talking to a girl and spend time with her. Not at parties or get togethers, more like dates."

"But I'm a sex addict. I don't know how to stop it,"

"Then maybe you need some help. You can't live your life revolving around sex with multiple feminine. You have to cut that out. Besides, why are we talking about this? I thought you don't 'do' relationships." I shrugged.

"What if one day I wake up and say I want a girlfriend. I have to be prepared."

I slowly nodded, trying to find the right words. "Well it's gonna be a bit difficult for your view. You have to show her that you won't mess around with other girls. You have to treat her like she's the only girl you want to see day by day."
