《○○》

I was about to pick up my favourite grey jacket when something was flung onto my head. "What the-" I took it off and saw it was a blue, red and white jacket that had the University's logo on it. It was the soccer teams jacket. Ash's jacket.

I looked up at him. Ash smiled at me and nodded. "You're gonna need that for now. Just put your jacket in your bag." He instructed.

I did as I was told and slid on his jacket. It surprisingly fit me well and I was engulfed in the faint scent of Ash's cologne.

"Hmm, you look good in it." Ash compliment with a wink. I blushed at his words and didn't respond. "Let's get going." He picked up his bag and walked to the door.

I followed his lead. When we walked out, we didn't go for the stairs or elevator - instead to room 170 which was the last dorm of our floor.

"Ash, why are we here?" I asked curiously. There was chattering coming from the other side.

Ash chuckled, "Just wait." He assured and brought up his hand to knock. The noise on the other side stopped and the door clicked open. On the other side was a taller boy with a darker complexion as mine. He had spiky hair that stood, reminding almost of a mountain of volcanoes. His sharp eyes bore into me but his lips held a friendly smile. He is Kiawe, Ash's teammate. "Alola." He said waving both his hands

"Alola!" Ash greeted back mimicking his moves but just as enthusiastic. "Gou this is Kiawe, Kiawe this is Gou." Ash wasted no time in introducing us.

"Oh. Hi Kiawe." I said with a awkward grin. I was a bit awkward when it came to meeting new people.

"Hmm, so this is the boy you were talking about?" Kiawe arched a brow and pointed his thumb at me.

"Yup!"

"Heh..." Kiawe looked at me menacingly. "Okay fine." He sighed and swung the door open, revealing the entire soccer club crowded around the door, staring at me.

"Huh. So you're the kid Ashy boy has been blubbering about?" Gary, another popular player and grandson of the school's Dean, asked. He walked up to me and slung an arm around me. He was also know for having an inflated ego.

"Ashy boy?" I questioned, snickering silently at the nickname.

Ash was visibly annoyed. "Shut up Gar-bear." He shot back with sly grin. "And get your hands off him, he's not a kid!" Ash began prying Gary of me.

"Oh? Protective of your little boyfriend?" Gary cackled as he was dragged off me.

"Why are you calling him little? You're literally inches shorter than him!" Ash pointed out.

It did not sit well with Gary as he stood close to me and measured himself. He was probably a centimetre shorter since his hand touched the top of my head.

"I maybe shorter than him but you're shorter than everyone." Gary laughed as well as everyone.

It was the sad truth cause Ash was the shortest amongst us. I couldn't help but chuckled a bit.

"Funny, it's the same joke all over again." Ash sighed and shook his head. "But it's getting old."

"Too you, maybe." Gary laughed. "But us, no!"
