My Calculus class finished as soon as it started.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXMBrJiP3h
Time felt like it was skipping by and it was extremely hard to focus on what was going on in class with so much going on in my head.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaIqbuEE1r
I couldn't even get excited to see Ian in art because I was afraid he saw the scene Sarah and I caused in the cafe.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qD7EULhfB
Sarah's words hurt me more than I thought words could. I know that she didn't say anything too hurtful but it still stung deep.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4tOjBffzN
I barely know you.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXaexxxf8D
I thought I'd found a friend in her. I know she was just speaking out of anger but usually when people do, they say what's always been on their mind. Was that how she thought of me the entire time?
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKw8DZ9p1d
I honestly couldn't wait until the day was over. We didn't have any major projects in art yet, instead another lecture about modern artists so I was completely ready to tune out the instructor.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmSJWmPszZ
I sat in my usual spot in the back of the class and like clockwork Ian came in 5 minutes late. Ms. J was used to it at this point and completely ignored his existence when he came in late. I wondered how his attendance score looked for him to always be so late?
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOGpZSvqpl
"You okay?" He turned to face me in my desk."I saw what happened in the cafe earlier, I tried to call you but your phone's off."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32ij9toRks
"Sorry, I just needed to be by myself for a minute. I'm okay just a little hurt."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYg26r1aWn
"What happened? Why were you and Sarah arguing?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1a4WEZ5w7
I hesitated to tell him because it involved his brother which he made clear he didn't have any sort of connection with. I don't know who Sarah told about Kai talking to me at the banquet but I don't want anyone thinking I liked him. Especially not Ian.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZcL3xnQOX
"Well...she got upset about the banquet."He waited for me to continue but that only made me hesitate even more.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CuuWKc9dQ
"She thinks I was trying to talk to Kai, but I wasn't I swear."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfzbYDuV2o
"Why would she think that?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHXMl22Iqb
"He followed me to the bathroom and talked to me there and I guess her friend saw and thought I was flirting and went and told her-"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphrmyxfx40
"He followed you to the bathroom?" He shook his head in confusion.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff8nX8YIlY
"Yeah."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclkMAinhY7
He didn't say anything for a moment. He looked like he was in his head thinking hard about something but I couldn't tell what.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz75vk3yww
"What did he say?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq2cSOisQe
"He asked me if I was okay."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNalnhYzdjn
After that he didn't say anything else. He turned around and jotted notes down from the lesson. I tried to focus as-well but once again my mind wandered. What was he thinking? I couldn't read him.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7R2V1Pglp
The final bell rang and every one got up to exit the class and I started collecting my notes and shoving them into my tote.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Nr4X2uVRy
"Do you have any plans today?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC8JCxHv06
Ian's deep voice flooded my ears and startled me because I thought he left after the bell. I look up from my things to examine his face.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jtmerZDR4
He was as handsome as ever. As usual. His eyes were bright almost like they were a different color than usual and his pupils appeared more dilated than usual.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjHALF34bK
"No, I was planning on studying in the library. That's about it."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf63vBZO7T7
"Could I join you?" He asked.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4R850HnNc
I nodded and he grinned in response. His smile made me flush with red cheeks. That smile. He always seemed to be in a cheery mood when I saw him. I wonder if it was because he was genuinely happy or maybe he was faking it. The smile he gave me didn't ever feel disingenuous though.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLApSRwgDlt
We arrived at the library and I sat at a computer near the exit and Ian sat beside me. I logged in with my email and pulled up assignments from my saved files. I immediately began to work diligently, almost forgetting about the situation from earlier. I didn't like school much but one thing I did enjoy about it was that I could use it as a distraction.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDMVebPFQV
I stretched my arms over my head and yawned as I finished 3 more assessments. I looked over my shoulder to sneak a peak at Ian, hoping he wouldn't notice. He was tapping on his laptop, biting his lip with a focused look on his face. His eyebrows were furrowed and head slightly tilted as he typed away.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvitLme2STO
Every-time I looked at him my chest felt like it was going to explode, like if I could track the my heart bpm it would be in the 400's. That doesn't seem very healthy.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiKHUDmTsR
I looked down at his slender fingers going back and forth between jotting things down into a notebook and pressing the keys on his laptop. Those same fingers that were touching me so hungrily the other night. How do people go about their day regularly after doing such things? Since then, i've barely been able to look at him for too long without feeling like a bowl of jello; not that I could look at him for very long before.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOoBEIJfEu
"Yes?" He spoke, which pulled me from my trance of oddly staring at his fingers. He was smirking but never once looked up from his laptop screen.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN7IXmG3tX
"What?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBl6lJjjKs
"You're staring at me."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvhxCrQsWL
Kill me now.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuFoTdGtD1
"Oh, ugh- I spaced out. Sorry."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2xtIFI2ou
He looked at me from the side of his eyes and closed his laptop.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KnbRpvpgF
"Lets go home."

Once we arrived, we didn't do much of anything. After homework, there was nothing left for me to do. I wanted to explore his house but didn't want to step past any boundaries, besides it was already enough that he allowed me to stay with him.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaK3cv2uoN6
He went on a run in the evening. He offered to take me but I know that if I went i'd be coming back in a stretcher due to my lack of athleticism.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaCv66FigT
I decided it would be a good opportunity to roam around the house while no one was there to see me.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ6aMMJhxZ
I left the guest room and looked down the hallway at the doors upstairs. There were plenty of doors down the spacious hall but when I went to open them they were all locked or empty. The last door in the hall was one of the only ones unlocked besides Ian's room.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2aspr5px7
I slowly crept through the cracked door and entered the room tip toeing as if that would do anything considering it was broad daylight and no one was in there.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4whiEKgGZ
The room was spacious and clean with little to no decor or painting. The bed in the middle was cleanly made and there was a desk, a lamp, and a picture frame.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEA1JCuufg
I picked up the dusty frame and held it into my hands to get a better look at who was in the picture.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhDTezjgaT
There was a picture of a little boy with a football in his hand smiling from ear to ear. It was adorable. I was wondering why the picture was so dusty and the room was so empty. Doesn't seem like anyone's been in here for months. Another guest bedroom?
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKz8rAoPdh
I placed the picture down and on the desk and looked down at the wooden desk. It was also dusty but not as dusty as the picture. There was a carving on the corner opposite of the picture. I couldn't make out what it said so I went in closer to trace it with my fingers.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdTTdZ46ff

Kai Peters.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mBRC5ie0o
I'm in Kai Peters old room.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbLe67jsJm
I snapped back up straight and froze.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLbKutXWUP
I gotta get the hell out of here.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjhjVe0Coc
I turned over to the door and almost fell over in shock.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcFzMpRUaz
There he was standing right there in front of me. His hair was longer than Ian's, darker and not as curly. His eyes were dark brown, different from Ian's friendly green ones. He looked almost exactly like Ian minus some missing features. Starting with lack of kindness. I still remember him calling me baldy on my first day of class, though he probably doesn't remember that insignificant moment.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4igaJ06Wo
"I was just leaving." I tried my best not to act startled but I was close to shitting my pants. He scared me. His vibes, his aura, his presence just screamed run.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgojONAboy
"Why are you in here to begin with?" He asked aggressively.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VLoXV56zN
"I- don't know." I twiddled my thumbs nervously hoping he wouldn't run and tell that I was sneaking around the house.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSzj3MoOOY
"Are you with Ian?" He questioned. Not sure what this has to do with anything.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HUAcScxiK
"I came with him-"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEXvHQcs7y
"I mean, are you two a thing?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBGnc2Wf9K
No?
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaAGQomcEj
Yes?
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRLmWWAYXC
I'm not even sure myself. He said he likes me but we aren't really together...yet?
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscmSfKbBbr
"I'm not sure..."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6H679zzri
He just chuckled.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DluU6dn5p
"I see you and him around each other a lot now. First at school, then the banquet, now you're in my house? You must really be persistent."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NCwjMTr10
"Persistent?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dmDUJYIo6
"I mean yeah, you're the one chasing him. Unless, he's perusing you. Which in that case, good luck." He walked over to the closet and opened it.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPF4oK5F2z
Good luck?
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYDvI8i4c3
No. Don't listen to him V. He's bad news and you know it. Just leave it be.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSlP9fa7z2
"Well are you going to stand there forever? Leave."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17E4O4iJ8c
I realized I was still in his room and stepped towards the door before stopping once again.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxoTl305It
Don't do it V. He's bad news. Be smart, walk away.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZMPCHnvjY
"What do you mean good luck ?" I did a 180 and saw him in his closet searching for something. He stopped and turned toward me with a devilish grin.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemKSEI1Bvn
"Curious are we?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSShErs9g6u
I didn't reply, instead I stood there waiting patiently for an explanation.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtoNfcJ83k
"You'll see soon enough."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b3WZXMRFG
"Just tell me what you mean." I persisted.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEpVbsV13a
He laughed.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNBge8B1M0
"You are one odd girl."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mUb3xiZGn
Odd?
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACU8NPbN4D
"I'll tell you, if you do something for me."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQrE8hENvO
Like hell. I wouldn't be caught dead doing any favor for Kai Peters.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNWLoKpWM7
"Yeah right." I scoffed and turned hack over and walked out the room.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOsJKCDYIG
I went back into the guest bedroom which was now my bedroom for some months. I plopped on the bed frustrated. I needed a way to release my frustrations out and decided it's be a good time to unpack.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpkeosguN7
I hung the few pieces of clothing I had on the rack in the closet. I was still missing a few things that I couldn't carry from my house. I shivered at the thought of going back. I couldn't imagine what life would be like if I chose to stay. Even the minimum problems I was having now would be the least of my worries if I stayed back at home or went to Chicago with my mom and her creepy Pedo boyfriend.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy5AkvH9uh
I shook the thought off not wanting to dwell too much on it, mostly because I didn't feel like crying.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYTwNDQMx5
After a while I heard Ian go into his room which was conveniently right next door to mine. I didn't want to bother him just yet so I continued tidying up the room and moving things around to my satisfaction.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQxvsAmim8
A soft knock on the door brought me a glint of excitement as I suspected it would be Ian. As I opened the door, my suspicions were confirmed.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywloBRMbGG
"Hi sunshine."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkPIdkUAG6
I smiled at his nickname for me. It didn't seem to match me but I thought it was too cute to ask him to change it.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu70YmdMAq
"Hi."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdmL8KYDfb
"I like what you've done to the room. We can buy decorations and you can decorate it how you want it."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf87CuQSRJ
"That sounds nice, I'd like that."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZIUfdPtCL
"Would you like to watch a movie with me?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJImvTataW
"I would love to."
