Studying with Austin

Today was just as usual. I hung out with Denton, and the day was over. Nothing really happened other than people still talking about the rumours. Denton went ahead since I told him I said I was going to study with Austin. I stood outside the front doors of the school for a while, most students were already gone. I held my arms a bit since the wind was strong. I felt fabric drape over my shoulders and I looked up to see Austin. He gave me his coat again, I pull it around me even more. "Sorry I kept you waiting, a teacher wanted to speak with me.", he said with a small smile. I gently nodded my head in response, and leaned down to pick up my bag. Before I could grab it, Austin picks it up and draps it over his shoulder. "I can hold it." , I told him. "No, I already made you wait out in the cold." ,he refuted me. A black SUV pulls up at the school entrance, and Austin gently pulls me inside. We both buckle before the car heads off, and I see the driver smile at me through the rearview mirror. He was an older man with black hair that had a few specks of grey in it, He also wore a tailored suit and he had a professional smile. I leaned back to get comfortable, and I felt Austin's arm wrap over my shoulder. I could see myself get a bit flushed in the mirror, and I heard the driver laugh a little. I was having a hard time staying awake since the seats were comfy, the heater was on, and I was still wrapped in Austin's jacket. I slowly fell asleep to the sound of the car running. I feel myself being gently shaken awake, I feel my head resting on something. I yawn and gently rub the corners of my eyes. I hear Austin's voice laugh a little, and I immediately, fully woke up. I feel so embarrassed that I fell asleep, and I was laying on his shoulder. He could clearly see I was embarrassed because he told me, "It's alright Noah, if you're tired you can take a nap before we study." That only made my face go redder in embarrassment. He laughed again and gently pulled me out of the car. He held my bag, as he took me into the lobby of a fancy apartment building. Sometimes I forget that he is a famous actor, and he has a lot of money. After a very normal boring day of school, Austin and I head to his apartment. We both go into the elevator and head up to the second highest floor. He put in a key, and opened the door. It is a very fancy and modern style apartment, filled with well designed furniture. I take my shoes off after Austin, and he hands me some extra slippers. "Come on, let's go study.", he tells me while sitting at a white sofa with a large glass table. We study for a while and I hear it start to rain outside. I thought it would be over by the time we were finished, but two hours later it was still pouring. I sigh and pull out my phone to check the weather. It looks like the rain won't let up until morning. "What's the matter?", Austin asked me. "It's just that it's still raining, and I don't have an umbrella.", replied. "Oh, I don't have one either. Why not just sleepover tonight?", he asked.
