Ashton stared at the blank computer screen, refreshing it from moment to moment as Willmount University would announce its students' acceptance any moment now. He didn't tell anyone that today was the date. He simply sat on one corner of the room waiting patiently for something to happen. 

He was worried he won't be accepted, but he was also worried how to tell Caleb if he didn't. The moment something appeared on the screen Ashton closed his laptop in a reflex, almost breaking it in the process. In the moment of anxiety he almost forgot his own strength. Here he was waiting for the results and now he couldn't even look at the screen. Oh, the irony. 

He fumbled with his fingers tapping it against the cold metal of the laptop constantly trying to calm himself down. He not failed to do so, he was so stressed that he almost failed to control his scent. "You alright"? Caleb asked, walking into his room.
