I woke up early today as I was so excited to go to the mall. I washed up and headed to the kitchen and saw that she has already left. That's the time when I realized that I don't even know her name.

What a strange situation!

I called Will to check the time he is coming. He said we will have lunch on the way back so I just had a cereal and milk for breakfast. It is a coincidence or what but as soon as I finished eating, I received a call from Will telling me that he is downstairs. I quickly wore a simple dress and sandals.

"Morning, Ashley", I got in his car and he greeted me with big smile. He is wearing a typical blue stripe shirt and white shorts.

"Morning, Will", I greeted him back and fastened my seatbelt.

"Did you get a good sleep?", he asked me as he restarted the car.

"Yeah. Not bad. You?", I changed the radio station to see what other options did I have and then I found one which was playing top 10 songs of the month.

"Great. It is my free day. So, I am not in a rush like yesterday. You can take time to buy whatever you need"

"I will. Thank you for coming along with me", I patted his right shoulder.

"I already said you don't need to say that. Of course, I will help you. Who are you going to go with if it is not me?", he turned to me and smirked in a form of teasing me.

"Maybe my boyfriend?", I smirked back at him but he gave me a surprised look.

"What? I am going to tell that to your mom", he quickly took out his phone like he is going to call my mom but I know he is just making fun.

"Relax. I am just teasing. Do you think I would have a boyfriend?", I pointed at my face and gave him disapproving head shake.

"You might, Ashley. Don't say that! I don't see a reason for someone to not like you. You are pretty, kind, and lovely. People could certainly feel attracted to you even though you might not know"

"You are really funny, you know", I gave him a look and he chuckled.

"Let's make a bet then! If someone confesses you within the first semester, you own me a meal. Deal?", he looked at me with an eyebrow raised.

I don't know why but as soon as I heard it, I felt so sure for one hundred percent that I am going to win. One semester is only four months and like duh it is too short time. How could someone like and confess me within that time.

"Deal. It is too easy", I shook his right hand that he offered.

"Good! Keep your promise!"

"I will", I looked at him with full of confidence and he shook his head as if he knew I would lose this bet.

We went around for like two hours, showing me the way to the college, every café', pharmacy, bus-stops, train station. He helps me open a bank account for my savings. It took us about three hours when we finally finish with our tour.

"Ashley, I know a very good sandwich place near here. let's have lunch there"

"Yes, sir", I made a salute' pose and he laughed at me.

It took about 30 minutes to arrive to the sandwich restaurant. It was a small restaurant with green environment design. There are like plants and flowers outside and inside the restaurant.

"Good afternoon, what can I get for you?", a man in mid-30s was standing behind the counter. This restaurant's uniform is red and white two-tone shirt with skirt or jeans.
