The rest of the day was pretty much the same, I had psychology, art and music. The guy had been in my music class and I'm almost positive he was in the back of my art class. He seemed odd. Quiet. Although, I could swear I'd felt him watching me for the most part of the day..
I'd managed to make a friend though, a girl in my psychology class called Maya. We'd spoken and exchanged numbers, she told me to text her and that she lived round the corner from me. Turns out she was pretty nice. I don't normally make friends that quickly, but something told me she was alright.
// 2 weeks later //
Maya and I walked to college every morning, we turned out to be quite good friends actually. We've been getting to know each other and she knew the guy. She said his name was Ashton. Didn't get a surname, but I suppose it was irrelevant what it was. She did tell me though, that her brother, Calum was a friend of his and that he told her he was trouble. Apparently he was the type to do drugs and get new tattoos in his spare time. Something about that intrigued me.
That morning, I'd woken up on time and set my outfit out nicely so I'd hopefully look somewhat decent for the first time in weeks.
I grabbed my high waisted jeans, crop top and flannel shirt and looked at them. It should do. I got dressed and laced up my converse, feeling quite good about how I looked. I straightened my hair and put my makeup on. I was in the middle of brushing my teeth when the doorbell rang. I rushed downstairs, toothbrush still in my mouth, and answered the door to Maya. I let her in and smiled until I noticed a person behind her.
Ashton.
"Morning Els, Ashton's just erm, tagging along with us this morning. Kind of turned up out of nowhere actually." Maya said, shooting a glare at Ashton as she finished. He just stood there, on his phone.
I rushed upstairs and finished up, turning to go in my bedroom to get my school bag. I picked my bag up and looked at the time on my phone, 8:15am. When I looked up I was jolted by the sight of Ashton behind me, cigarette and phone in hand.
"Aren't we meant to be going?" I asked, breaking the silence. "And please don't smoke in my house, I'm not really a fan of smoking"
"Oh isn't that a shame, princess. I think you and I need to have a talk, it's just the two of us now anyway." He said, walking towards me, causing me to back up into the wall.
"Maya's downstairs, we need to go to colle-"
"She already left, I told her to go. She didn't want to argue with me, everyone knows it's not wise to do that.. Now, Elsa, our chat."

I tried to wriggle away from the wall but to no avail. Ashton shuffled closer and took a puff on the cigarette, exhaling the smoke at me, smirking as I choked.
"Get on the bed." He ordered, moving his head in the direction he wanted me to go. I walked over and sat precariously on the edge of my bed, waiting for whatever was coming next as he strolled over, taking another drag.
"What do you want, Ashton?" I spat, losing my patience as he took yet another drag after I'd specifically asked him not to smoke in my bedroom.
"Don't use that tone with me, gorgeous. I would hate for you to make me angry." He retorted, using the same tone I'd given him, that same stupid smirk plastered on his face as he looked me up and down.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to shout I-"
"Why don't you remember me?"
"What do you mean? Should I?"
"Well I'd find it worrying if you forgot every one of your little one night stands, slut."
"One night stands?" I asked, still somewhat confused by him.
"Do you need me to remind you?" He flicked his cigarette out of the window behind me and sat down beside me. "Don't you remember our night together? How you were begging for mercy" his hand slid up my thigh as he pushed me back against my bed. My pulse raced. "You're such a little slut. You don't even remember how you were screaming for me 'FUCK, ASH' you screamed."
"I-"
"You're such a little tease, Elsa." I suddenly began to process everything and remembered that night at my brother's house. He'd thrown a party.
Ashton creeped closer and closer towards me, hovering dangerously over my lips.
"Do I need to remind you, Elsa?" He repeated.
"I remember- I remember that night Ashton."
He lunged towards me and attacked my lips with his own. I could taste the smoke and a hint of cherry from the gum he'd been chewing earlier. He tasted so familiar. It all came back. Before I could relax, he'd pulled away.
"See you at college, princess. Don't be late now, I wanna see you in music later. Wouldn't want you to waste that outfit, you may aswell show it off for me." He winked at me and disappeared, leaving me confused as to what had just happened.
