The dirty blonde woke up by his father waking him up. He mutter incoherent words as he groggily open his eyes, not enjoying the fact that today is the first day of school. In a different school, in a different city, in a different country.

"Come on Ash, I know you don't want to go. But you can't miss the first day of school."the brunette inform with a smile, trying to lighten the mood a little for his son.

"I'm up, I'm up. Just...ugh." he mutters, not wanting to leave the bed as it is calling his name.

"Come on, kiddo!" the man cheers while helping him up.

Ashton got out of bed and head to his closet.

"You should definitely wear a Common Culture sweater!" he smiles at his son.

"Okay, why? Not to be mean, pops, but no one really cares what I wear." Ashton shrug at his father.

"It's the first day! Of course people will care on what you wear! Your clothes represent who you are!"

"Okay pops, please leave." the teen sigh at the man. Then watch as the brunette walks out of his bedroom, he didn't mean to sound that rude. But he's really tired and doesn't want to go to school.

Taking his father's advice and pulling on a grey Common Culture sweater, which goes halfway down his thighs and put on a pair of black skinny jeans. He put on a pair of Vans and head to the kitchen where everyone else is at.

"Good morning Ash!" his father smiles at him.

"Morning dad," he sigh while making himself a bowl of cereal.

"Does anyone else want a cup of coffee while I'm making myself one?" the brunette ask his family and Ashton respond with a hand raise.

He sat at the breakfast bar and ate his cereal, waiting for the coffee to be made. Lauren is eating her cereal while braiding her hair. While the blonde man is on the tablet, going through important emails and looking at his schedule. Ashton doesn't enjoy how busy his fathers are, but understands that it's apart of their jobs and how successful they are.

For example, his father writes and produce his own music and other artists. Ashton admits that it was amazing being in the studio with his father for a day. Just watching him work with other upcoming artists or working on his own music. Anything involving music attracts Ashton.

While pops is a CEO to a few businesses and has his own clothing line (which is what Ashton is wearing). So he works from home and there are times when he has to fly somewhere for work. If he remembers, pops used to be a YouTuber and on rare occasions, the man would have the teen in his videos. He didn't want Ashton to be in the spotlight and have people all over him, so he kept him away. But, he stopped making them years ago and the last time he was in a video, he was five years old.

"Ashton...hey kiddo!" the brunette's voice became clear and the teen shake the thoughts out of his head as he is back into reality.

"Yes?"

"Your coffee is getting cold, and school starts here soon. So drink up and I'll get ready to take you two to school."

He nods and went to drink the coffee that pops made him and watch his father for a moment as he is responding to business emails.

"Hey Ash, I will be home late tonight." the blonde sighs while resting his chin on his fist, giving Ashton his full attention.

"Work?"

"Yeah, I also work for a company here. And I have to check up on grandpa."

It's sad hearing that from his father. He doesn't enjoy that his grandfather isn't feeling well, last time he saw the old man, he was healthy and laughing aloud to a story that he shared with the teen. But he's the main reason for the move, and Ashton understands.
