Marcel POV

Three weeks  have passed since school had begun.  Classes have been quite a breeze, my professors are actually quite friendly. I am currently counting down to Kassidy's arrival of almost one month and three weeks.

That's weird isn't it?

I have become closer to Zayn, Niall, Liam, and Louis. Harry and I meet every two weeks as we promised one another, but we decided to hang out this week rather than next. He and the lads have gotten along really well, surprisingly. We all entered the tattoo parlor, me being terrified of needles.

"Are you sure i should do this?", I asked Zayn.

"Well, you want to right?", he asked and I nodded.

"Okay! Well, let's go then."

I went in the parlor and decided on getting two bird tattoos along my chest. It was so painful, I couldn't stop squinting my eyes and shutting it closed in pain. Zayn laughed a bit looking at the way I was reacting. Liam and Louis got a tattoo as well. Liam got a quote tattooed along his arm and Louis got a chest tattoo, like me. Harry got a tattoo of a star in his inner arm.

Kassidy POV

Weeks passed and school is okay now, considering I made two friends. My teacher has a well written syllabus for me to get ahead of my work, thank goodness. My grades are decent, a couple of A's and B's are put in the grade book.

My roommate left the dorm a couple of days ago, she felt bad since the incident and she decided to find another room. I have a two bedroom dorm all to myself basically.

Since it was a Friday Night, Morgan and Timothy invited me to a party. I guess a party is what I need. University life is so weird, it's like you're trying to mature and become an adult yet on the weekends you're back being a teenager.

"Hey, you ready?", I heard Morgan say as she knocked on my door.

"Yeah, hold on", I said as I quickly applied a few coats of mascara.

I opened up the door for her and she looked around my quiet and empty room.

"Who's this?", she said as she lifted a frame of Marcel and I.

"Ehrm, no one", I squeaked.

"I think we are at the point in our friendship where we can tell eachother things."

"Okay, he's my boyfriend, well ex I mean."

"You have a picture of your ex in your room?"

"He's actually my best friend, still. He is from England and he's currently studying there."

"Is that why you're going to England?", she asked.

"No, well sort of. My three best friends are there at the moment, one being him."

"Oh, okay. Well, we should get going now", she smiled, " Tim is waiting downstairs."

I nodded, grabbed my stuff, and left the dorm. I went downstairs to see Timothy smiling and sort of, shocked I guess?

"You look pretty", he smiled.

"Thanks", I replied kindly.

We drove towards an apartment looking building. It looked like some kind of frat house. Please don't tell me it's a frat party.

"You okay?", Morgan said.

"Um, yeah."

"Don't go to frat parties, Kass. You don't belong in that type of crowd, they aren't good", Marcel told me when we facetimed.

"Okay."

"Promise?", his eyebrows began to slant, he wanted a sincere answer.

"Promise."

"If you don't want to go here, we can go somewhere else", Morgan said.

"No it's fine", I nodded as I felt a huge lump in my throat.

We walked in the house, I smelt alcohol as I walked through. It wasn't pleasant, I've never drank my whole life and I am not planning to tonight.

"I will be right back!", Morgan said as she headed towards some guy.

"Who is that?", I asked Timothy.

"It's this guy Morgan's been crushing on since the day she arrived here", he chuckled.

"Oh, okay."

"You don't drink do you?", he asked.

"Not really. This isn't the type of crowd I'm used to", I said awkwardly.

"Do you want to do something else? I'll tell Morgan I'll pick her up later. She seems like she's having too much fun", he looked over at Morgan flirting with the sophomore and I nodded.

We walked toward Morgan, I made sure to stay close to Timothy. He told her and she nodded. We left the vile scented house and got back into the car.

"So where do you want to go? Are you up for some dinner?"

"Yeah, that sounds nice", I nodded.

"Okay, cool. There's this good pizza place a mile away."

"Sounds great!", I smiled.

We arrived in front of the restaurant and got seated at one of the tables. We ordered a pepperoni pizza and some sprites.

"So, how are you?", he smiled.

"Pretty good. You?"

"Great! Sorry about bringing you into that party. We should've planned something better tonight."

"No it's fine. This is fine", I said.

"Oh okay. Did you finish the whole quarter's homework?", he joked.

"Maybe", I laughed and he let out a chuckle.

"Are you for sure going to England next quarter? I am sure you'd love Berkley if you stayed longer!"

"Nah, Berkley is nice. But I think I need a break from California. I want to travel and this is my way of doing this", I smiled.

"Oh okay", his eyes sunk.

The pizza arrived and I quickly got a slice to take a bite of it.

"This is so good!", I exclaimed.

"I knew you'd like it", he laughed.

"This is amazing", I said and bit another piece. My cheeks flushed pink when I realized someone was staring at me chew like an animal.

We finished our meal and we nearly had a war fighting over who would pay for the bill. He won and paid the bill and I said I would pay the tip. As we approached the dorms, I got all my stuff. He then stopped the car right in front of the dorms.

"Well, that was nice. We should do it again", he smiled and leaned over to press his lips against mine. I quickly backed away and became shocked with what just had happened.

"I'm sorry-", he said.

"I am sorry, I can't do this", I left the car to run back to my dorm.

I was just kissed by someone who wasn't Marcel. It wasn't pleasant at all, it was more cold rather than warm. It didn't feel right at all. I know how Marcel will react when I tell him this. Should I even tell him this?

You are an idiot Kassidy.
