"San Jose" I said to him with a monotone voice.

He smiled and I am not sure for what and he ruffled my hair and said,

"Let's get going back in. Laura won't be able to hold the seats for long." As he dragged me by my arm.

Laura smiled back as soon as she saw us walked in or me getting dragged in by Carson.

The food was absolutely delicious and beautiful to look at. No wonder it is famous because it is just so good. Carson's regular was plain bagel with cream cheese, 2 fried eggs and bacon with mini pancakes and syrup on side and some fruits. He ate silently and once in a while looked at me and asked if I liked it and would like to order anything else. My eyes widened when he asked me if I wanted to order anything else and I said that I am okay because I wouldn't be able to finish the food anyway because it was too much. There was different kind of meats and dipping sauces with bagel and cream cheese.

Laura came to ask if we are doing fine.When we were almost done. I excused myself and said to Carson that I was going to the washroom, but I actually went to pay the bill. The breakfast was affordable and was not that expensive like I thought it would be.

Laura was surprised and said that Carson will be very upset if he finds out that I'm paying for our foods and I laughed and said that it doesn't really matter.

When I came back, Carson was eating and playing with his phone at the same time. When I sat down he quickly put his phone down and looked at me.

"Your friend is awake." Carson said, talking about Skylar and I nodded my head.

"Elliot will drop her home later." He explained when I was about to suggest we should go.

"Okay." I said.

"We should get going. You have anywhere to go?" He asked.

"Just home." I said honestly.

He nodded his head and looked around the room. I think searching for Laura.

"Let's go." I said standing up and he looked at me with a questioning look and his eyes widened and it turned dark with anger?

"Did you pay for the foods?" He asked.

I shrugged and turned around to walk away.

"You did not just do that." He said as he walked towards me with angry strides.

"I just did." I said to Carson. "It doesn't matter."

"It matters to me." He said.

"It is just a way of saying thank you from me to you." I said looking at him for a brief moment and then I opened the door.

"You don't have to thank me." He said.

"I wanted to." I said honestly and I smile at him.

He give me a look that I can't explain. It was like he was shock at the same time he was at awe.Just as fast as the emotion came it went away as he turned around and walked towards his car and this time I followed him.

Carson did not say anything throughout the ride back to my dorm. When we arrived he said, "See you on Monday." And that was it.

I didn't say much except thanked him again and then I went in. I was walking in when I saw few people trying to carry furnitures. I quickly rush to press the elevator button for them and one of them thanked me.

I waited for the next elevator and I was not sure if that was a good idea waiting for the elevator instead of the stairs because I saw Ashton entering the building in a black shirt and black ripped jeans and black classic vans with a light blue denim jacket. His face held no emotions,but when our eyes met his face turned into a small smile as he greeted me.

He looked handsome like yesterday, but this time he was sober and was standing here instead of that smelly frat house.

"We are living in the same building?" He said smiling.

"What are you doing here?" I asked the question that was in my head when I saw him.

"Like I said last night, I was transferring." He said.

"But ain't you suppose to be having hang over?"

He laughed. "I had to move here quickly. Can't miss anymore classes." And I nodded my head. The first week is over and now the coming week is second week of the semester, so it does make sense.

"Sir, the last piece of furnitures are all delivered." A man with a suit said and Ashton nodded his head.

"Well, I should get going." I said to him.

"Why don't you join me for a pizza night." He said with a twinkle in his eyes and if I didn't know what he did to his ex- I would have thought he was a nice guy because his faces have soft features when he smiles.

"I have some work." I lied with a small smile. His smile did not leave his face.

"With Carson?" He asked and my smiled dropped.

"No." I said.

"Then join me and you can invite your roommate or whoever." He said.

"Don't you have to unload your stuff?" I said.

He give me a mysterious smile. "I'm living in the 20th floor, Room H150. See you there later." He said as he and the man in suit went to the elevator.

He winked at me before the elevator door shut in front of me and I sighed. Well, who am I even coming across these days. At least he does not know I lived on the 8th floor because I am not planning to go for his dinner plan.

Once I reached my room. I went to take a shower and out of the gym wears and wore my onesies and shut the blind off. It was just 1:18 pm and I can just relax. I watched some movies online before I fell asleep.

I woke up by the sound of the blaring music coming from my phone and I groaned as I looked at my screen. It was my alarm. I have to go do some groceries shopping for the coming week. It was 4:25 pm and I got dressed up ready to go out. The fall weather was coming bringing in with them the chilly weather in the evening as I pulled up a grey hoodie with a black jeans and vans. Skylar must be home because I see her indoor shoe missing from near the door. I walked out and towards the exit and texted Skylar that I am going for groceries and if she wants anything to just let me know, but she didn't reply.

The walk to the groceries was nice and peaceful. I didn't meet many people on the road or outside campus which I found was absolutely nice. When I bought enough necessary things I walked home with almost 3 bags of groceries. When I was near the apartment. I heard someone said,

"Hey, let me help you." And before I can say anything the bags was snatched from my hands and I looked to see who that person was.
