Ethan's POV
I grabbed for it, but she held my phone out of reach. "Ashley, if you break my phone, you're buying me a new one!" I lunged across the desk, but Ashley twisted away, eyes scanning my screen.
"'Hey Stella, free for lunch today?'" She read in a monotone voice. "That's it? That's what the best you could come up with? Where's the charm? The wit? The Williams magic I keep hearing about?"
I snatched my phone back, checking for damage. "It's called being casual. It's called playing it cool."
"It's called being boring." She flicked my ear. "You're supposed to sweep her off her feet, not put her to sleep."
"Hey, my strategy works just fine." I rubbed my ear, shooting her a glare. "Trust me, by the end of this semester, Stella will be mine."
"Like Lucy was supposed to be yours?"
