Zayn's P.O.V

I found a way to somehow make myself calm just imagining the hand wrapped around my upper arm is Ashton's in attempt to make me seem chill.

Part of this method includes me not looking at the Greek god that strides beside me. Using this tactic I finally reach my class I don't even know Liam-er Ashton's schedule so..he could be in class with me.

He let's go of my arm thankfully but I look down and notice a large red ring from where he tugged through the crowded halls. This better not bruise I would rather not have an arm cuff bracelet in the shade blue and purple which is very pretty but then it goes brown and yellow when its almost time to fully heal.

Plus I don't feel like wearing long sleeves at the moment. I take a seat in the back much like my other classes and rub my thumb over the mark. Ashton enters the room immediately running over to me grabbing my shoulders.

"Are you okay!?" he asks his uniquely colored eyes searching my own as they follow my every move.

"Yeah I'm fine, just overwhelmed you know?"

My stutter usually isn't present with just Ashton. Only because I feel comfortable with him since I have known him for a while.

"What the fuck is that!?" Ash exclaims jerking my feeble wrist close to his face which makes me have to stand on the tip of my toes so I don't get harmed.

L-liam just didn't want me to be late" I explain in a hushed tone. I would rather not be the center of attention and if Ash raises his voice again he will be fixing for me to sprint off to the amazing library again.

Ashton shakes his head making his tan curls bounce whilst releasing me from the grip he had.

"Okay.. Whelp I'm for sure not letting him in your presence again" he speaks bluntly cracking his knuckles.

I open my mouth in shock. Ashton will not forbid me from seeing a Greek god in school. I can talk to who I want..

"No. " I say quietly squeezing my palms together as I sit in my desk.

Ashton laughs holding his stomach with several giggles following afterwards.

"Wow... You're growing huh?" He teases pulling his phone out multitasking as I sit red in the face.

"Ash for your information I am quite the grownup" I say determined, crossing my arms and looking up at my tall person.

"Sure, sure you are babe" he pats my shoulder shaking his hair. I turn away from him pulling out my own phone mad at him.

I see that Liam has finally texted me back.

Liam: hey baby

I cough for a second searching for anyone's eyes that might of seen the text that just popped up but no one seemed to be looking over thankfully.

Me: hi

Dang what a charmer I totally won him over with "hi"

The class begins but the teacher can't see my phone out so I continue to text the stupid boy.

Liam: who's giving you a ride home?

Me: um Ashton why?

Liam: you should let us all come over

Me: well my mom won't be home & it's a school night.

Liam: wow I didn't think you were this much of a goodie two shoes.

Me: I'm not liam I just don't want to get in trouble there is a difference.

Liam: well what time does your mom get home we will all leave before that.

I swallow thickly because she works night shift so she won't be home till tomorrow whenever. Its only me and her.

Me: she won't be home till tomorrow

Liam: see perfect!

I don't text back and just sigh out loud. I didn't mean for this to happen. Will he be super mad if I just don't open my door?

Hours later

I follow Ashton to his car getting in the front seat again and turning up the volume to Blue Jeans by Lana Del Rey. (MY F*CKING SONG) I sing along quietly tapping my fingers on my bare thigh. Lana Del Rey has always been one of my favorites.

Ashton doesn't say much but it's a comfortable silence and I like it. We stop at my house making me rush inside to check my appearance and throwing all my underwear into the laundry bin and off my floor covering them with a couple shirts so no one gets a glimpse of my lacy under garments.

Ashton enters my room soon afterwords smelling of cigarette smoke making me gag.

"You smell gross" I say rummaging through my dresser drawers finding some old cologne I used to wear before I transfered to perfume.

I grab the manly musk and spray it directly on the front of his shirt. Ashton wrinkles his nose then stops raising his eyebrow.

"This smells good" he compliments. I toss it into his large tan hands.

"You can have it, smells too manly for me" I say turning away to plug in my phone.

"So are your friends coming?" I ask twiddling with my fingers picking at my nail polish.

Ashton nods coughing for a second.

"You got alcohol?" He asks. Making my face go red and my eyes go wide.

"Y-you plan on d-drinking?" I ask grasping my hands together so I stop fidgeting.

"Well duh they are bringing a couple girls too, why you think their taking so long, you know what I'll just text them and say to bring booze" he gives me another look before typing fast with his thumbs sending a text to someone.

Great. Just great. If I get in trouble for this I will not be happy. I will be livid.
