Surfer Girl // A.I (completed)

eighteen

< Monday >

{ Tatum }

First day of school- my last first day of school ever.

I got up early and took a shower, drying off and drying my hair. I got dressed and walked back into my room and grabbed my phone- a text from Ashton illuminating the screen:

-messages-

Ashton🥰: [ Good morning!
Have a good first day! ]

[Good morning! Thank you!
I'll text you when I get out of class]

I grabbed all my stuff and headed outside and climbed in my car and got on the road. It's a 30 minute drive from my house to campus. I plugged my phone into the aux and the playlist Ashton had begged me to download started playing. I laughed and kept it on.

I pulled into campus and found the lot I was in. Of course it was the farthest lot. My knee was gonna be dying by the end of this walk.

When I got out, I noticed my friend, Grace, getting out a few cars down. She spotted me and we waved and she walked down to me.

"Are you in Hubbards 8 am?" she beamed. I nodded and tossed my backpack on my back and made sure no valuables were in my Jeep, considering I had no doors. We then began to walk towards the buildings.

"So" Grace nudged me, "We have a big famous boyfriend" she winked. I rolled my eyes.

"He's just my boyfriend" I laughed. She just laughed,

"If you want to, ya know, like, hook me up with Calum" she smirked,

"I'll see what I can do" I laughed.

We reached our lecture hall and walked in, taking seats in the front. Sitting in the front impresses professors and keeps them knowing who you are. Plus if I sat anywhere else I would be so distracted.

Our professor came in and started class immediately. We didn't do a syllabus, we just got straight to it.

By the end of the class, I was banging my head against the desk. If this was how every class would be, I'm gonna really need to stock up on the coffee before. It was a lot of math and a lot of monotone talking.

Once my 8 am was over, I had about an hour and a half before my 11 am, which Grace happened to be in too. We decided to sit out in the courtyard for a while.

We were just talking when my phone started to buzz and Ashton's name popped up, requesting a FaceTime. I laughed and slid my thumb across the screen to answer,

"Hi Ash" I smiled,

"Hey!" He grinned. His phone was propped up and I could see him moving around,

"What're you doing?" I laughed as he fixed his hair,

"We have an interview, which is why I called" he paused and picked his phone up,

"They're probably gonna ask questions about you. Do you want me to answer them? If not it's totally fine" he spoke looking straight at the screen,

"I don't care. It's not like we can really hide anything" I shrugged. Ashton smiled and nodded,

"What're you doing? Your next class it at 11 right?" He asked. He was now in his kitchen and had his car keys in his hand,
