Boom Clap

Chapter Seven

Two weeks of absolutely nothing... One thinks living with five boys life would be a little more exiting, well no. Paul was at work most of the time and the rest of the boys were always playing Xbox. I haven't really talked to Ashton since he kissed me. I was embarrassed and wasn't sure of what exactly we were. So for two weeks I sat in my room packing up small boxes of my stuff, checking my classes online, listening to music, talking to "myself" and going to the school once to get all of our dorm keys.

Today we had packed up my car and "Luke's" car. "Luke's" car was also sometimes Ashton's, Michael's, or Calum's car. Today we are going to college! After two weeks of zero excitement I was finally doing something exiting! My dorm room was in building three, room twenty five. Ashton and Mike are sharing a room in building four right next to Luke's and Calum's room. I was rooming with some girl named Clara Jones. Being completely honest I was scared to meet this girl, would she accept me? I mean I'm not exactly your normal girl...

"Ashton!" Calum whined from the backseat. "I'm tired of sitting in this car!"

"That sucks because you're gonna be in it for at least another ten minutes." Ashton says as he smiled over at me.

South Wales College was in Sydney which is only thirty minutes away from where we live. This is a college for very smart people, I know it's surprising that these boys have a brain!

A car honked behind us, I turned to see it was only Luke and Michael flicking us off. I laughed and went back to gazing out my window. The next ten minutes consisted of Calum fake crying in the backseat, Ashton almost crashing us because he was trying to hit Calum while driving, and me turning up my headphones to drowned out these boys.

When we finally arrived I felt a wave of anxiety surge through me. Shit, this is actually happening. I got out of the car gazing up at a huge cement poll which held a very large orange and black flag.

"Do you want help taking your stuff to your dorm?" Ashton said snapping me out of my zone. I turned around do to see the rest of the boys trying to balance boxes in their arms, I guess they were trying to avoid taking more then one trip?

"Actually yes!" I didn't want to take more then one trip either.

Me and Ashton were able to hold two boxes each with three left over.

"Mikey drop your shit and help me take Ashlyn's stuff up to her room!" Ashton said kicking at Michael's leg.

"Damn you!" Michael replied but, still put his boxes back in the car.

"Guys I can only hold two... CALUM GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE!" Michael shouted as Calum tried to sneak alway.

"Man fuck you guys! I wish I wasn't a gentleman!" Calum says putting his boxes back in the car and grabbing my last box.

"Hey, at least my dorm is close!" I said smiling and turning around pleased that I had managed to get all of them but Luke to carry my stuff.

We walked off in the general direction of dorm three, coming to a outside staircase.

"Oh my god Ashlyn what floor are you on?" Calum moaned.

"Relax Hun it's only the second floor." I winked and began climbing the steps. We came to to room twenty five and I looked to Calum, he was the only who was holding one box.

"Um, could you get the key out of my back pocket?"

Calum switched the box to one hand and began walking towards me.

"Cal i can get it" Ashton said moving in front of him.

"No you can't Ashton, balancing one box is hard enough...." Calum said shoving Ashton aside. Ashton's eyes met mine and I wondered if I saw a tint of jealously? It was confirmed when Calum's hand went into my back pocket and Ashton's face scrunched up.

"Got it!" He smiled at me then proceeded to open my dorm door.

A short brunette was laying on one of the two beds in the room reading a book. She jumped up when she saw us.

"Oh hey, I was wondering when you would be here! My name is Clara and you must be Ashlyn?" Her voice was a little high for my liking. Definitely wasn't from Australia, my guess is she's from somewhere in England. All and all she seems like a nice girl and she is extremely pretty!

"Yes, that's me!" A nervous Clara looked around at the three boys who were pushing their way into our room. "Sorry. This is Ashton, Calum, and Michael they are three out of four of my friends. The other one is Luke he didn't help bring my boxes." I laughed.

She laughed with me "Well nice to meet you all. I would shake your hands but, it seems they are a little full." We all awkwardly smiled.

"Ok, you're shit is heavy." Michael said as he dropped my two boxes of clothes on the floor. "Bye my bitch!" And then he was gone.

Calum set my box down on my bed and then he was gone. Finally Ashton placed the last of my boxes on the floor by my bed.

He stood for a short while just looking around. "Uh, bye Ashlyn." He crossed the room and gave me an awkward hug before he left the room closing the door.

"So... are you and Ashton...? that's his name right?" She winked at me.

"Honestly I don't know! Boys are confusing!" I just met this Clara but, she had this personality that made you instantly like her.

"Tell me about it! I've been dating my boyfriend Liam on and off for the past year..." She trailed off then smiled at me. "Do you want help making your bed or putting away clothes? I've already got mine done and I'm so bored!"

"Well, if you want to!" I opened one of the boxes Ashton was carrying and pulled out my sheets, comforter, and two pillows. "Here ya go!" I said handing her my bed stuff.

"Any specific way you like it?" She said unfolding the sheets.

"No go crazy with it!" I laughed and began hanging up my shirts in my designated closet.

I was halfway through my shirts when a loud pound shook the door frame. Clara walked towards the door but, before she even touched the nob the door whipped open. A very tall, very muscular, and very tattooed boy walked into our room.

"HEY BABE!" He shouted walking straight toward Clara, scooping her up in his arms. Before she could even say anything they were kissing. I looked away not wanting to invade in their little make out session. I became uncomfortable after about forty five seconds and let out a small cough. Clara pushed away from the boy putting her hand to her mouth.

"Sorry Ashlyn where are my manners? This is my boyfriend Liam Payne."
