77 Our Own World

Ashton's POV

I felt so glad that after the victory party held at Zachary's place, which Megan attended, Lauren and her friends stopped bothering my girl. I couldn't be happier because I could see that my lovely girlfriend is now more confident to walk with me in the hallways of the Academy. And eating with her at the cafeteria during lunch made me more at peace because everyone knew that we were together, and I could tell that most of my friends were happy for me, except for some boys I could tell wanted Megan to be their girlfriend too.

"So, what is your plan for your birthday, Ashton?" Zachary asked me as we walked towards the shower room after our football practice, and I felt so glad our coach ended our practice earlier than expected. I could tell he had some important matters to attend to, and I was so pleased because I could pick up my girlfriend and her best friend at the mall.
