Quarantined // A.I (completed)

[f i v e]

< Thursday >

Since my History and English class allow me to do my online work on my own time, and I don't have accounting until 12:15, Ashton and I decided to get up early to go move me out of my dorm/apartment.

Both of us dragged out of bed. I tossed on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt and went and waited for Ashton in the kitchen. Ashton slowly made his way out, running a hand through his wild hair.

We quickly grabbed keys and got in the car and went towards the university.

I was a little nervous about move out. Grace and Calum said yesterday was crazy.

****

When we reached my building and headed up to my door, it was already open. We walked in and Skylar was moving out too.

"Good morning" she was peppy.

"Good morning" I smiled back and followed Ashton into my room. He looked miserable. He was so tired. We had stayed up super late last night. I was trying to get a paper done and Ashton said he wasn't going to bed until I did.

"I told you that you didn't have to stay up with me" I laughed and grabbed a bag from under my bed. Ashton mumbled an "I know" under his breath and grabbed a box we'd brought over here yesterday.

I packed up my clothes I had left here and Ashton started on other things, like getting the stuff from my bathroom and from my bed.

"Look what I found!" Ashton hollered and ran out of my bathroom as I was folding up the clothes that he had here, "Dang, you've stolen a lot of my clothes" he spoke behind me.

I laughed and turned around and saw him waving his boxers around. That was what he found in the bathroom.

"Technically you left most of these" I smirked. He rolled his eyes and tossed his boxers into my pile. I gave him a look and he just laughed

"They smell clean" he shrugged. I rolled my eyes and continued what I was doing. We had to get this done because I have to be back at Ashton's to do school.

An hour later, Ashton and I had everything that was to come with me. We put the boxes in Ashton's car then put my surfboards on top of my Jeep. When everything was secured, I followed Ashton back to his house.

We got my stuff put away fairly quickly. It didn't take that long considering most of my stuff was already at Ashton's house.

Once that was finished, I got set up for accounting and called Madeline.

"Are you ready to see the lovely Keith" she beamed sarcastically, referring to our accounting teacher.

"Oh you know it" I sarcastically spoke back as Ashton entered the kitchen and started making himself a sandwich.

"We aren't going to learn! He just rambles!" Madeline yelled. Ashton began laughing.

"I know! Just so you know I didn't read the chapter" I shrugged.

"I didn't either" Madeline laughed as Ashton called my name, causing my head to turn.

"Want a sandwich?" he asked. I nodded and he winked.

"Make me one too!" Madeline yelled through the phone as Keith popped up, making us both groan. Ashton finished making us lunch then came and sat down with me.

The first thirty minutes, Ashton watched as Keith gave us all a house tour, then he retreated downstairs. About an hour into class we actually started to learn stuff. Of course, I didn't know what I was doing. Keith just stormed through and I struggled to keep up. I'm already failing the class so I really need to know how to do this stuff.

Keith got halfway through and started complaining that none of us were answering him and that none of us had our camera's on. Madeline and I were rolling.

"I don't need Keith to see me" Madeline laughed.

Finally finishing school for the day, I put my stuff away and walked downstairs. It wasn't very hard to find out where Ashton was because I could hear him drumming. The room he keeps his drums in is pretty much soundproof, but the closer you get, the louder it gets.

I opened the door and the sound hit me. I was taken back, making Ashton laugh. He sat his drumsticks down and grabbed the towel off the floor, wiping the sweat off his face.

I stepped farther in and sat on the stool by the wall.

"You done with school?" Ashton asked, standing up and pulling his phone from his pocket.

"Thankfully. Keith decided that instead of our hour and a half class, we'd be having three hour classes" I complained. Ashton laughed then looked at his phone oddly.

"Let's go up. Apparently we need to turn the news on" he told me. We both headed upstairs, Ashton smacking my butt the whole way.

I sat down as Ashton turned the tv on. He stood behind me, not wanting to get the couch gross from his sweat. We honestly didn't know what we were watching for. That was when breaking news came in.

California was on lockdown.
