Chapter 3: That bad boy

ASH'S POV:

He's cute. He's hot. He's perfect. He's a bad boy. He's Graham Calloway. 

I arrive at the cafeteria only to see Graham got there first. I see him standing with his arms crossed and a cute smirk on his face. "Moral of the story: Never ever try to race me." He said. 

Of course he beat me! Why did I even try to race him!? Well, I guess cute boys just mess with your head that way. "Okay," I say while I look at the clock: 12:35 PM. I look for a bag of chips in one of the cupboards. "I'm the rotten vegetable," I say as I pull out a bag of Doritos. "Hey, want a drink?" Graham said while looking into a fridge. "Yeah." he pulls out two cans of Coca-Cola and gives one to me. "Thanks," I say. He simply smiled, showing his dimples. Oh my god. How can a guy be so cute? Just as I was about to open the soda and the bag of chips, he tells me: "They'll see us here. Wanna go to dorm 3?" "Sure," I say. We go to the elevator and ride to the second floor. We arrive at dorm #3 and Graham scans his ID on the door. He scans it thrice. The door's not opening. One more time. "Shit," he mumbles under his breath. After a few more tries, I tell him: "Wanna go to Dorm #2 instead?" "Sure," he answers. I scan my ID, the doors open, and we go in. We sit down on my bed. He takes off his shoes and sits down on the bed. He opens his can of soda and I open the bag of Doritos. He drinks some soda then says: "Thanks for saving me from boredom." I chuckle and say "You're welcome." He puts on a devilish grin. 

How. Can. A. Guy. Be. So. Hot. I don't know anything, except that that grin is messing with me.

But just before I think of something stupid to say or do, the door opens, and Coral, along with another girl, comes into the room. "Hey Ash," Coral said. "Hey," I reply. The other girl sits on another bed and says: "I thought Jesse had black hair. How did he get it dyed so quickly?" she was referring to Graham. "Oh," I say, "This is Graham, he's from Dorm #3." the other girl puts out her hand and says: "I'm April." I shake her hand and say: "Ash." April just smiles. She has green eyes, skin slightly darker than mine, and her hair was dyed pink with green highlights. Suddenly, Graham says: "So, anyway, see you guys tomorrow. I'm sleepy." (Sydney is 9 hrs ahead of the Canary Islands) Just as Graham was walking out of the door, I stop him. I take his ID from his pocket and take off a thin layer of plastic covering it. "That's why it doesn't work well," I say. "Oh," he says. "Thanks, Ash." I smile and wave. Once Graham was out of sight, I hear April and Coral quietly sing: "Ash and Graham, sitting in a tree, K, I, S, S, I-" I glare at them. "Oh, come on," Coral says. "It's obvious you're flirting with him." she gets a Dorito from the bag on my bed. "Yeah," April says. "We all know you love him."

I just roll my eyes, but, isn't it true?
