Are you okay?" Ethan asked while helping Ashley up.
"I think I am" She smiled and picked up her Camera, luckily the camera fell on the flower close to where they fell.
Xander came that very moment.
"What happened here?" He asked.
"Oh..it was....a little accident" Ashley replied.
Xander looked at Ethan.
"Are you her brother? Do you know me?" Ethan asked.
"Yeah" Xander mumbled and Ethan smiled.
"What happened? Why were you two on the ground?" Xander asked.
"Nate's bike" Ethan replied.
"Nathaniel?" Xander called the name like it's something offensive and Ashley wondered why.
"You mean he hit my sister with his bike...."
"Almost, it was a a mistake, trust me" Ashley immediately tapped his chest and Xander looked at her.
"I told you to follow me in and stop the damn pictures you were taking" He snapped.
"I'm sorry" Ashley mumbled in a sad voice.
"Get in the car" Xander said.
Ashley waved at Ethan.
"Thank you...bye" She said.
"Bye" Ethan smiled and waved back, she entered the car and Xander drove off.
"You're not mad at me right?" Ashley asked after few seconds of silence.
"Eat your cheesecake, I'm not mad" Xander replied and she smiled.
She took the cake and inhaled the scent.
"Smells so nice"
"So you're still addicted to cheesecakes?" Xander asked.
"Is there any other thing I can be addicted to?" Ashley asked with a mouthful of the cake.
"Stop being a baby" Xander chuckled and wiped her bottom lip with his thumb.
"Who's Nathaniel Diaz? Sounds like you both know him" She asked.
"Don't ask about him" Xander replied.
"Why?"
"He's not someone you should associate with, when you see him you run, okay?" Xander said.
"Is he that bad?" Ashley asked curiously.
"Bad is an understatement, He's dangerous. So stay away from him" Xander said but that only made Ashley more curious.
She didn't say anything more though, she focused on her cake.
As soon as they got back home, Ashley greeted her mom and went into her room.
"Sunny" She called and immediately carried her.
"I know you missed me" She said, kissing her.
"Some cake for you" She sat on the bed and dropped the remaining cake for Sunny which she ate up instantly.
"Good girl" Ashley smiled, Sunny left her arm and sat in the middle of the bed.
"I'm not sleeping right now" Ashley said and began taking off her clothes,she changed and sat on the bed, Sunny stick next to her.
"I guess you really miss me a lot" Ashley smiled as Sunny kept on climbing and jumping all over her, she cupped her little face.
"A kiss"
Sunny rubbed her head on her lips instead and Ashley laughed.
"You're so rude"
She picked up her phone and started searching about the school. Oak Valley University.
"I'm so curious and also nervous Sunny, I wonder what the school is like" She sighed out and dropped her phone. She took her diary and started writing about her experience so far in Paris.
✍🏻Nevertheless, I miss Korea, and I miss granny.
She concluded before falling back on the bed to sleep.
"Sunny come here" She called and the kitten jumped on the bed, right beside her.
"Goodnight Sunny" She smiled.

NEXT MORNING*
Ashley hurried out of her room and went downstairs, Xander was already going out.
"Don't tell me you're leaving me behind!" She shouted and ran after him.
"You need breakfast at least" Mrs Travers called back.
"Don't worry about me mom, I will sort it out myself" Ashley said and ran after Xander.
"I have a morning class" Xander said, opening the car for her.
"Wow, didn't expect you to be so serious, brother. I'm touched" She touched her chest and Xander laughed.
"I'm so nervous...can't wait to see the school" Ashley groaned.
"It's the best school In paris so don't worry" Xander said.
"I know, I'm just....gosh" Ashley said.
"Do I look good enough?" She asked, checking her outfit.
"You look pretty, really pretty" Xander replied and she blushed.
"You're so sweet" She hit him playfully.
After about one hour drive, Xander was in front of the school.
"Whoa" Ashley gasped. The environment and the first sight made her speechless. The name of the school written boldly on it.
OAK VALLEY UNIVERSITY
"This is amazing" She clapped as Xander drove In through the tied drive way.
"Wow!!" She said more loudly.
"It's just like I read" Ashley mumbled, still looking around.
"You haven't even gotten down yet" Xander chuckled and finally pulled over in the parking lots. They both stepped down from the car, Ashley arranged her hair which was dealt with by the breeze before carrying her bag.
She was dressed in a mini gown, she wore an ankle boot matching her dress. She looked so beautiful and classy, yet cute like a doll.
"I would have loved to wait for you to do everything but sorry I can't, you can just ask some students where the HOD's office is right?.. "
"Don't worry about me brother, I love you, go on" Ashley waved.
"Call me if you have any problem" Xander said.
"I love you" Ashley repeated.
"I love you more." Xander kissed her head and walked away.
"Finally" Ashley breathe in the air before she started her walk, while admiring the beautiful buildings and surroundings.
