"Sorry from Jess's side.", Kai said standing beside Ashley in the corridor.
"She blabbers anything without even thinking for a moment. I'm really sorry.", He said again.
Ashley said, "It's ok. It's not her fault, not even yours. I'm responsible for everything."
"You need to stop blaming yourself.", Kai looked at her.
"You don't know anything Kai. How can I? When I know, it's...I'm the one behind all these. I...", She said in a broken voice.
"Hey!", taking her hand he said.
"I'm sorry!", She uttered. "Where is your room?", She asked.
"Mine? On 2nd floor.", He answered.
"Oh.", She said.
"But most of the time you will find me in your room only.", This time he laughed.
"Are you both dating?", Ashley asked in confusion.
"Who? Me and Jess. Oh no please, she's like my sister.", He chuckled.
"Oh I'm so sorry!", She laughed too.
Kai kept his eyes in her for a moment and said, "Stay like this, it suits you."
"What?", She asked.
"Smile!", Rubbing her hand he walked towards his room.

Ashley opened the door and came inside.
"You're here? Where you went? I got tensed.", Jessica came while running to her.
"I'm so sorry Ashley. I didn't want to hurt you. If you feel bed about what I said, I'm really sorry for that. I just blabbered anything.", Jessica panicked.
"Jessica, it's ok. I didn't mind at all. It's ok.", calming her down Ashley said.
"Sure?", She asked again.
"Yes!", Ashley nodded.
Jessica smiled ear to ear.
Then again said, "Because now you're my roommate, I've a right on you too." Ashley frowned.
"You have to promise me that you'll not do something like this again. Please.", Jessica finished.
Ashley said nothing.
"I know it's the first time we're meeting and you don't even know me but I wanna tell you something, if you ever need me, I'm here, always. Just take your time, if you wanna share your story, I'm here to listen. You always have my back. Okay?", Jessica told.
"Yah!", Ashley nodded softly.
"You scared the hell out of Kai today!", Leaving her hand Jessica sat on the chair.
"Really?", Ashley asked.
"Yes. He called me and literally was panicking. He was hell scared.", Jessica chuckled softly, "That's why I left my 4th class and came here."
"Is anybody talking about me?", With a laptop in his hand Kai entered in the room.
"No one!", Jessica faked a smile towards him.
"Ok guys I've a class I've to leave.", She took up her bag and went to the door.
"Ashley, you need something to eat? I mean are you hungry?", She asked again.
"No, I'm fine.", Ashley said.
"I'll take care about that, you can leave.", Kai said to Jessica.
"Yah, actually you took the responsibility of taking care of my every friends right?", Jessica glanced at him.
"Oh hallo, she's my friend first than yours. I met her first!", Kai said back.
"Ashley, tell him, you're my friend first!", Jessica looked at Ashley. And Ashley was blankly looking at them both, trying to figure out, were they actually fighting over a girl whom they just met few hours ago.
"Guys!", She said making them stop.
"Ok, I've to go bye.", Jessica left.
Kai looked at Ashley and passed a smile then opened his laptop.
"Kai!", Ashely called him.
"Hmm?", Without looking at her he hummed.
"I know you guys just saw a side of me which you shouldn't, not in the first day at least. But trust me I'm fine, you guys don't have to show sympathy on me.", She said.
Kai looked at her, "You really think that we're showing sympathy on you?"
Ashley kept quiet.
"We're not Ashley. It's just we're worried about you. And it's a way of us, to show you that we really do care about you.", He said again.
"I don't want anyone to care about me.", She looked at him, "Doesn't matter how much people do care, at the end everybody leaves."
"Woww, can you please stop talking this heavy weighted things, ahh I'm feeling something heavy on my heart!", He placed his hand in his chest and said dramatically.
Ashley looked away.
"Wanna watch some movie?", He asked.
"No!", She shouted.
"Easy. Sorry, but if you still wanna watch, I'm in.", Throwing himself on Jessica' s bed he said.
Suddenly Ashely felt bad for what just did, these people were trying to help her. And she shouted on the boy who just saved her life.
"You're being mean to everybody around you. You fucking should stop that.", Her mind said to her.
"I wanna watch that with you!", She said.
"Sorry?", Kai couldn't head her.
"I wanna watch the movie with you.", She repeated herself.
"Come here.", Tapping the place beside him, he said.
Ashley slowly walked to him and sat maintaining a distance with him. She was feeling a little bit uncomfortable.
And Kai noticed that.
"Don't worry I'll not harm you.", He said.
Ashely looked at him.
"Not even touch you. So just relax!", He assured her, "Now tell what movie do you wanna watch?"
"Whatever you want!", She said.
"I asked you!", Scrolling through the movies he said.
"This one!", She pointed randomly to a movie.
"Me before you? You never watched it?", Kai asked to her.
"I guess, no!", She answered.
"Let's watch it then.", He pressed the play button.

"Good morning!"
Ashley didn't want to open her eyes but the voice was continuesly coming so she forced her eyeleads up and looked at Jessica who was getting dressed for what god knew.
"Good morning!", Ashely murmured, "are you going somewhere?"
"WE are going.", She pressed the word 'we'.
"Where?", Ashley asked.
"Class dear! Now get ready we're running late for the breakfast.", Jessica passed a smile to her.
_
They both headed to theirs own classes, before getting apart Jessica said to Ashley, "We only have one class in common!"
"That is?"
"History!", Making a pout Jessica said.
"I hate history!", Ashely said making a face.
"Me too. So see you in 3rd period. Bye!", Hugging her slightly Jessica left.
Ashley took a deep breath and entered in her class. She looked all around and sat on a empty desk.
New year, new class, new Ashely? Yes quite a bit. That smiling, happy, jolly Ashley became sad, quite and broken.
She remembered the first day of her previous university. She remembered, HIM!
