"Nah, it's fine. Thanks, though," Ashley said as she flipped her hair down and wrapped the towel around it. She straightened back up and glanced over at Lucas again. "Well… Do you want breakfast? I think we have time for something quick if you're hungry."

(Thank you, friendly stalker!)
Lucas shrugged.
“I can just have an apple,” he said. “What about you? You want anything?”

“I was just thinking cereal, honestly. I don’t feel like having a big breakfast this morning,” Ashley said when a shrug as she dug through her dresser for something to wear.
Lucas nodded as he pulled out a shirt and jeans, getting dressed quickly.
“I’ll see you down, Ash,” he said, pressing a kiss to her cheek.
group
Ashley hummed her agreement, smiling at the kiss. With a sigh, she dug through the dresser again, trying to find the skirt she wanted. After a bit of searching, she pulled it out and grabbed the shirt she liked to wear with it.
Once she was dressed, her hair was brushed, and she’d put her makeup on, she headed downstairs to eat. “Find anything, babe?”
Lucas stuck his tongue out at her.
“I didn’t touch the stove,” he said, raising his hands. “I just took out the milk and cereal.”
I wasn’t supposed to be trusted in the kitchen. I could help with little things such as cutting vegetables, but never anything related to cooking something on the stove. I would either burn the dish only, or burn down the entire house. My parents were literally like chefs—unfortunately, I didn’t get their talent to cook. Eden snatched it all from me, that hungry twin of mine.

Ashley chuckled and walked over to kiss his cheek. “That’s not what I meant, but I’m glad you decided not to burn the house down today,” she joked as she poured herself a bowl of cereal. “I’m not sure if we could afford that, anyway.”
Lucas nodded as he grabbed himself an apple.
“I agree,” he nodded. “Anyway, we’ve got about twenty minutes left.”

“M’kay,” Ashley mumbled around a mouthful of Lucky Charms. “When do you have a break for lunch today?”
Lucas took a large bite out of his apple.
“Around eleven thirty,” he answered after swallowing. “What about you?”
group
“About ten minutes before then. I think I’ll go study in the library while I wait for you to text me,” Ashley mused, taking another bite of cereal.
Lucas nodded.
“Sounds good,” he said. “Hey, this isn’t tough for you, right? You’re doing good, right?”
group
Ashley hummed though yet another mouthful of food. “I mean, it is hard, but it’s not too hard. I can study well enough, and I’ve been getting good grades, too. I think I’ll do okay.”
Lucas shook his head.
“That’s not what I meant,” he ran his hand through his hair. “Are you doing okay here? So far from home?”
group
“Oh… Well, I mean, it’s been hard adjusting, of course. But I have you with me. And I call my parents at least twice a week, so that’s definitely helped,” Ashley answered softly, shrugging a bit.
Lucas walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her, pressing a soft kiss on the top of her head.
“If anything bothers you, tell me okay?” I said softly. “I’ll try my best to help you.”
group
Ashley sighed and set her bowl down to she could return the embrace. “Thank you, babe. I will. You’ve been so good to me. I’m glad we’re back together again.”
“I’m glad, too,” Lucas murmured. “Never will I ever let go of you again, or let you walk out of my life. Got it?”
group
Ashley grinned and hugged him tighter. “Got it. And I will never leave you again nor let you leave me. ‘Kay?”
Lucas grinned and nodded, and in a few minutes, they were in school.
Lucas kissed Ashley’s cheek and bid her farewell before he went to his first class. He had choreography for his fourth class, and he couldn’t wait. He practiced so hard for this.
Still, he waited more for lunch because it meant seeing Ashley. So he waited patiently until his lunch bell rang and he shot out of the class, whipping out his phone to text Ashley.
group
Ashley’s first few classes had gone well enough. She really enjoyed her Intro to Chemistry class, so that was always nice for her to go to.
When her lunch break rolled around, she packed up her things and headed to the library. There was a quiz in one of her classes soon that she needed to study for, so hats what she was doing when she got Lucas’s text. Grinning, she opened it and quickly responded.
ASHLEY: Hey, babe! Where should we meet for lunch?
Lucas quickly responded, wanting to do nothing but capture her lips. He knew he could have them whenever he wanted, but he wanted to kiss her. Badly.
LUCAS: In the library? That’s where you are, right?
group
ASHLEY: Oh, sure. I was thinking we could go out if you wanted.
She continued to study her book, pouring over the words.
LUCAS: Oh, then we can go out.
Lucas jumping down the stairs, almost to the library.
group
Ashley glanced at her phone and grinned. She started to pack her things up as she waited for Lucas to arrive.
When Lucas saw Ashley, he grinned. Running up to her, and almost crashing into a table in the process, he took her in his arms and swung her around.
“I missed you!”
group
“Babe!” Ashley laughed, completely surprised. “Gosh, warn a girl before you do that!”
Lucas grinned.
“Where’s the fun in that?” He pecked her on her lips softly. “Now let’s get out of here before the librarian kicks us out.”
