Itet out a yawn as I stretched out my thed muscles. I sat up and threw my legs off the bed to stand upÂ
Shuffling was heard from the other bed a few feet away from mine. I glanced at the two figures cuddled up together and retted my eyes when and an unfamiliar boy.Â
His hair was cropped short and from what I can tell from staring at his face, he was average looking. He shifted a little away from Sore and squee eyes at the glare of the sun. His eyes fell in mine before I quickly diverted my eyes somewhere else, I was embarrassed at being caught lookery tim The dude must have thought that I was checking him out by the car by smirk he had on his thin lips.Â
I didn’t find him attractive, not one bit. You don’t find anyone attractive other than Asher. I was just surprised to see a guy sleep over, usually theyÂ
before dawn.Â
I walked towards the bathroom not sparing the guy another glance and closed the door softly behind me. I took off my clothes and hopped in the shower. The warm water cascaded down my back soothingly making me hesitant to leave the shower, but I had to get ready to leave, Nat could be hers any minute now and I haven’t even packed yet. I was supposed to pack last night but I was so preoccupied with Asher that it slipped my mind, I didn’t have to pack much anyway, because it was just for a week and I do still have clothes home that I left there,Â
I got out of the bathroom, towel wrapped tight around my frame as I tiptoed to the closet. The guy from earlier was nowhere to be seen and 1 it out a sigh of relief as he wouldn’t have to see me with only a towel on. I just seem to always forget to bring my clothes with me.Â
Trummaged through my clothes and picked out a green plain sundress that reached my mid thigh. I took out some other clothes and threw them on the bed so I could pack them when I’m done. My hair was still a little damp so I took the long strands and put them into a neat bun. Well what supposedly should have been a neat bun but turned out to be messy,Â
A few strands loosened and I tucked them under before giving a nod to my appearance, I didn’t look bad, my cheeks, if possible, got a little bit bigger and 1 looked like I glowed. I was even putting on a little weight in the backside area. My breasts though were a little tender when put the bra on. My eyebrows knitted in confusion as I stared at my changing body. What could I have been eating to make me gain weight?Â
The mumbling of Sonia on the bed got me out of my thoughts as I shifted my attention to her. She was mumbling incoherent words that I tried to understand but later gave up. Her eyes were half closed and hair in a mess as she tried to wake up from slumber.Â
I turned towards my closet and took the big black duffel bag that was on the floor. I dusted it off before placing it on my bed and started packing my clothes in. I looked at the small clock on my nightstand and widened my eyes at the time. It was seven fifty and Niall should be on his way by nowÂ
widenesÂ
Zipping up the bag I placed it on the floor while I fixed my messy bed. I hope when I come back it’ll be in the same state I left it. When I was done, I bent down to take my flats that were under the bed and placed it on.Â
“Where are you going?” Sonia asked, startling me.Â
“I won’t be here for a week, so please don’t leave our dorm room unattended.” I answered uninterestedly to give her details.Â
She gave me a humph not sparing me an answer and rolled around so her back was facing me. So mature. I sucked my teeth in irritation at her before picking up my duffel bag and headed out. Not leaving without slamming the door to irritate her.Â
My feet hit the tiled floors as I made my way outside the building. The rain was slightly drizzling and I stayed under the little roof that blocked me from getting wet. A few minutes later I saw Niall’s dark blue car approaching.Â
He stopped near me and gave me a dazzling smile, one I returned with my own. I rushed to enter the car–saying a sweet morning to Niall. He looked at me smiling cheekily before returning my greeting.Â
“Are you ready to meet my parents?” I asked him, putting on my seatbelt.Â
“As ready as I’ll ever be!” He laughed.Â
Haughed slightly before giving him directions. The drive should be about three hours and I hoped during that time I could woman up and stop beingÂ

nervous to meet my dad and sister. I didn’t exactly tell all why come and Asher was just out of the questionÂ
him there,Â
to be shoulder toÂ
If I did invite him, he would have taken it as hope of rekindling our relationship. And I didn’t want that yet he still had to work harder. Think abo Asher, I didn’t tell him I wouldn’t be here for the week. He wouldn’t care anyway. I’m sure he has better things to do then spend time with me presÂ
I felt a little guilty that was using Niall as a backup, somehow thinking that if things don’t work on between my dad and sister it would be easy to escape since he had a car.Â
We were an hour into the drive singing our asses off to One Direction when I spotted a little shop. My belly grumbles, reminding me that i haven’t eaten breakfast. With that thought in mind, I told Niall to pull over so I could buy something to eat. After buying eight big bags of chips and a soda pred to the car, hands full with stuff.Â
“Darnn, are you going to eat all of that?” Niall asked incredulously when I entered.Â
“Yep I’ve been craving junk food for awhile now.” I told him, already opening one bag of chips and stuffing my face. it felt like I didn’t eat for days as late one after the other. I blamed it on my nerves. Niall just laughed before starting up the car and continuing our journey.Â
