Tampered Love

Chapter One

"Dad seriously can you stop babying me I'll be fine!" I looked around the campus as I got out of the taxi. Dad replied to my comment, "Okay well you get settled in call me if you need anything honey." I hug my dad and whisper, "I love you daddy." He says back, "I love you too." He let's go and enters the taxi. I couldn't look at him as he left. It hurt too much.

I took my map out and followed the path that led to the Peter's Dorm. As I got in the doors two boys bumped into me. "Sorry miss!" I looked over and a boy with curly brown hair and drumsticks in his hand was looking at me apologetically. He said nicely, "Hi, I'm Ashton and my friend over there is Michael." I looked over to where he was pointing at. Michael was good looking. He had purple hair popping out beneath his black beanie and he was wearing a ripped up acdc shirt and black skinny jeans.

He must've noticed me looking him up and down because he said, "Would you rather take a picture sweetie?" I shook my head and quickly picked up my stuff that I dropped. I was blushing pretty bad. Ashton was still standing there. He commented, "You seem nice let me write down my number so we all can hangout sometime." He picked up my hand and wrote it down. When he was done he waved and left. Michael followed but kept looking at me. I decided I looked stupid so I opened the glass doors to the dorm. When I finally got to my room on floor 7 I set the last things on the floor. Thank God they didn't knock into me with my dad because he is super protective after my last boyfriend.

Classes didn't begin for a few days so I thought I would walk around campus to get it in my brain so I didn't have to carry around my map. I went passed many buildings before I got tired. I went inside the local cafe and got a tea. I was getting super hot in there so I went out and sat on a bench by the fountain. The purple haired Michael I met the other day ran past me. It shocked me and I dropped my tea all over myself. He heard the noise and walked over to me. "I'm sorry, it's all over!" I just nodded and tried to get over the sting of the hot tea on my skin.

He saw me wincing and grabbed my hand. "I'm going to take you to get a new shirt and cleaned up okay? It's the least I can do." I just nodded. He lead me to our building and he stopped at the 7th floor and lead me to a room a few from mine. I asked, "Why are you taking me to your room when we live in the same building." He answers, "You'll see." He opens the door and his room is huge and it has a huge bathroom. "I know this will sound really pervy but we actually have warm water and the hallway bathrooms don't. So I thought you might want to use ours and I'll leave a shirt for you." I respond, "Thanks." I am blushing harder than I should.

I go I to the bathroom and take a quick shower. The only soap he has is guy soap but then again I figured so. When I got done I wrapped a towel around me and popped my head out the door. "Michael where's the shirt." His eyes got big and he jumped off the couch and went over to the dresser and pulled out a Nirvana shirt. He walked over and handed it to me. I changed as fast as I could. His shirt smelled like him and to be honest I liked the way he smelled.

When I got out of the bathroom he was leaning against a wall. He ran through his hand through his hair and looked up from the floor. He asked quietly, "So are you going back to your room now?" I nodded and opened the door. He grabbed my hand lightly and slipped a piece of paper into it and walked over to his couch. I took that as a signal to leave so I closed the door and took the short walk to my apartment wondering what was written on the note.
