This, out of all places. "I'm really hoping it's an odd number so maybe I'll get a room by myself," I thought to myself as mentally prepared for a school trip to Iceland

The car ride to school felt shorter than normal, I wanted nothing more than to stay home, but that shot had already been fired.

I stepped out of the car and nearly ran to check the list, praying I was by myself. No. This was bad, this was really, really bad. I was placed with Asher Angel.

I sat closest to the window and sighed. This trip really was going to suck. Asher slid into his seat next to me. 𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝗺𝐲𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐟𝗼𝐫 𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝗺𝐲 𝗺𝗼𝗺, 𝗺𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝗺𝐞 𝐠𝗼 𝗼𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐩 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞.
