••Alex's POV••

"Just a couple more months." Summer sighed sitting next to me
"Did you do your essay?" I asked taking out my textbook.
"Why do you think I was up till midnight yesterday?" She asked
"Eating." I said in a duh tone
"Well, no. I was finishing it." She said waving the paper in front of my face

"A miracle." I teased taking out mine
"Ok, class." Mr. Xander said walking in and writing today's topic on the white board. He talked about the human body and other things I had to write down for credit. I never understood why people say college is hard, it's quite simple actually, you just have to pay attention to the teacher and not be on your phone or talking to your friends.

Since it was our last class, the teacher asked us for our essays which three kids didn't do because they were "busy" that night and couldn't finish it. They didn't even have their names on the paper, to me they all went to a party or something. The teacher gave them detention and they all whined, begging for another day to do it. Which Mr. Xander denied and gave them their detentions slips. Which if you ask me, they deserved.

"I would've been pissed if Mr. Xander had gave them another day." Summer said as we walked out of campus. I chuckled
"Why?" I asked
"Cause then I would've been able to do the same thing and not pull an all nighter last night." She explained
"Only you Summer." I said shaking my head at her.

"Ugh, yeah only her." A high pitched voice snickered. We turned around to see the one and only Sammy
"Sam!" Summer yelled running over to him and jumping in his arms. He chuckled and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Hey, Samantha." I teased. He glared at me and flipped me off. I gasped
"You're not welcome in my apartment." I joked

"Fine I'll take Summer to a hotel." He winked putting her down
"Sam!" Summer said hitting his chest. He chuckled
"I'm kidding babygirl." He said kissing her cheek.
"Oh and happy late birthday." He said handing me a little box
"You didn't have to get me anything Sam." I said to him.

"You're my sister in law, you did the same to me." He shrugged
"Touché." I nodded
"I'll open it back home." I said walking on the side walk
"Jack misses you." He teased. I blushed and turned around
"He barely left yesterday." I said. Although I'm gonna admit that I miss him too, we can get through this.

"Is it true he gave Mac and cheese for your date?" He mocked
"I thought it was really cute that he remember that." I defended him.
"Very cheesy, indeed." He nodded.
"Enough Sam." Summer said sternly
"I'd like to see you take Summer on a date and remember her favorite food when she was smaller-oh wait you don't know cause you weren't friends." I gasped

"That's harsh." He pouted. I shrugged and kept walking to our apartment
"Why don't you guys just live on campus?" Sam asked us
"And how do you even pay the apartment?" He added
"Too many rules, and with money we both saved up." Summer explained. I nodded
"Plus there's no point in buying a house." I shrugged

"Yeah, since you're engaged." Summer teased. I blushed
"Wait, he asked already?" Sammy asked me. I nodded
"Asshole, he didn't tell me." He mumbled shaking his head. I giggled.
"When did he ask?" He raised a brow
"On my birthday." I replied
"That smooth fucker." He chuckled. I laughed and nodded

"He got the crown ring huh?" He smirked
"Yes." I nodded showing it to him
"He was like, I'm gonna get it for her since she's my princess." He teased. I blushed and looked away.
"When did you get here?" I asked changing topic since my cheeks were starting to get redder than the color itself. He chuckled
"Last night, but I wanted to surprise her at school." He said kissing Summer's cheek, now it was her turn to blush.

"Smooth." I teased as we arrived to our apartment
"What floor are you guys in?" Sammy asked as we walked in the lobby
"Third." I replied, pressing the elevator button
"Why couldn't you guys get one on the first one?" He asked
"Because then we wouldn't get the view we have on the third floor." Summer explained. I nodded
