Ashley's POV
"Yes, okay, I will, thank you, yeah love you too, bye" I end my conversation with Niall and throw my phone onto the bed. It's 6am! Niall woke me up at 6am to make sure I was ready! Of course I'm not ready I just woke up! I need to calm down, he was trying to help. Okay I may as well get up now, even though I don't have to be at college until 8am. Thanks again Niall.
It's so quiet without everyone in the house and I hate to admit it but I actually miss Harrys horrible bacon. Walking down the wooden stairs the only thing I can hear are my footsteps whereas before there was faint chatter or snores coming from all around me. The silence is eerie.
After eating a quick breakfast and lounging around watching the TV for a while, I decide it's time to get changed into the clothes I'll be wearing today. I stupidly convinced myself it would be okay to not look out my clothes for today because I was really tired and now I haven't got a clue what I'm going to wear. Brilliant!
After a long while spent searching for clothes I have finally managed to find some I quite like. I've ended up wearing a pair of blue skinny jeans, a red top with the words 'music passion' printed across it, a black leather jacket and a pair of black canvas shoes. I spin around in a circle and burst out laughing. I can't believe I just did that, I haven't done that in years. Why did I stop doing that, it's so fun. I spin around once more before starting my makeup. I go for a natural look, I'm not one for a lot of makeup and when I do wear it, I like it to look minimal. When I'm happy with the way my face looks I move on to hair. I don't put too much effort into that either, I just curl the bottoms of it and leave it hanging down by my back. Finally I'm ready.
I may not have prepared my clothes for today but I have prepared my bag. I quickly grab it from the edge of my room and make my way back downstairs. It's only 7am, I'm one whole hour early! Well actually it takes a half hour to get there so if I leave now I could always stop at a coffee shop before college starts. Yes, that sounds like a good idea.
Before I go I snatch Niall's car keys from the table along with my house keys too. I haven't gotten around to buying a car yet, so Niall is letting me borrow his until I get my own. I think I might get mine this weekend so I'm not bothering Niall as much. I do love his car though.
Thankfully I remember to lock the door. The last thing I need is someone breaking into the house on the first day I'm left in charge of it. That would be a nightmare. Now all that's left to do is drive to the college. The only problem is I'm not entirely sure where it is, I hope this car has a GPS. At last I manage to press the correct button and a screen pops up asking me where I want to go, it's lucky I wrote down the postcode.
Half an hour later and I'm pulling up in the college parking area. Thank goodness for GPS. I chose to scout out a coffee shop since I have a while to spare. It doesn't take very long and I find myself in a Starbucks after just two minutes of walking. I already know what I'm ordering, a caffe latte, my all time favourite. It's sheer bliss when the woman behind the counter shouts my name.
"Ashley Peters?" I smile and thank her as I take my coffee. The warmth from the cup radiates to my cold hands as I take a seat in an empty booth.
I can almost taste the latte from its strong smell. Just as I'm about to take my first sip my phone buzzes in my pocket. Who dares interrupt me while I'm drinking a latte. Niall, I could've guessed it would be him.
That Blonde Hottie: I'm sorry about waking you up earlier :/ Anyway I just wanted to wish you good luck on your first day. Have fun! Love Niall xxx
Aww. I'm no longer mad at him for interrupting my latte drinking, though I may still be a little mad at him for waking me up. I should text him back.
Meee: I kinda forgive you for that now and thank you Nialler. I hope you have fun doing your shows too :) Love Ashley xxx
He's so sweet but now it's time to drink this latte. Ouch! Maybe not it's still really hot and I just burned my tongue. I never learn, no matter how many times I burn my tongue I still manage to do it again. I guess I'll have to wait for it to cool now. Sigh.
"Umm h-hi. Could I sit here? All the other booths are taken." A nervous looking boy asks. Why is he standing there? Oh wait, Ashley he's asking you, answer him!
"Umm yeah sure" I reply rather timidly. Maybe Niall's right, maybe I am a bit shy. Wow, didn't expect that.
The boy is looking out the window sipping his drink and trying extremely hard not to make eye contact with me. I take this opportunity to, well I suppose you could say, 'check him out'. What can I say, I'm a nosey girl.
He looks quite tall but it's hard to tell when he's sitting down, probably about 6 foot something. His hair is brown and styled messily with a fringe covering half of his forehead almost covering his left eye. His face is quite angular and his check bones are very defined, almost as though they had been carved by an artist. His skin is very lightly tanned and and his eyes are a deep green. His gaze suddenly shifts from the window to me. I quickly look away, I can feel heat rising to my cheeks. I hope he didn't notice me looking at him.
"I'm Zachariah by the way" It sounds like all his former nerves are gone when he speaks. His voice is deep and clear. He doesn't stutter at all this time.
"Hi Zachariah, I'm Ashley" I state surprising myself with my sudden confidence. Ha Niall, to,d you I wasn't shy.
"Please, call me Zac and nice to meet you" Zac tells me. I can't think of anything else to say but at the same time I don't want to end the conversation. I like Zac. Say something Ashley, anything.
"So what brings you to the coffee shop Zac?" Anything but that. Why, why did I ask him that? Zac notices my embarrassment and smiles.
"First day of College" He explains. Hey maybe we're going to the same college.
"Really? Me too. Does the college you're going to happen to be a two minute walk from here?" I question him.
"Yep, I'm doing a course on filming" He replies smoothly.
"So am I!" I exclaim. This is great, I know someone in the same course as me already and I've not even entered the building yet.
"No way! My first class is on experimental film and philosophy" Zac says while taking a sip of his drink.
"Zac, you might be a bit creeped out now but that's totally my first class too." I mimic his earlier actions and take a drink of my latte now that it's cooled.
"Are you sure you're not a stalker?" He asks with a small chuckle. I shake my head and he raises a questioning eyebrow.
"I'm not!" I defend myself. "Maybe you're the stalker"
Zac pretends to look shocked. "Me! I would never!" We both end up in fits of laughter, once we've calmed down I become conscious of the time. I should check my phone. 7:55am!
"Woah! The class starts in five minutes!" I scramble out of the booth and throw my bag over my shoulder. Zac joins me as we walk briskly until we reach the college building. My first day begins.
