My Calculus class finished as soon as it started.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrjqY5VZBw
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.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDoFlZ0xQ1
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.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWKdZL1GS2
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.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKLMtjcE4w
I barely know you.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8vcmTC0TV
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?
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKEI1hh1O5
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.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxKzMTF5oW
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?
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIrE8G65zI
"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."
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx8RdZa14o
"Sorry, I just needed to be by myself for a minute. I'm okay just a little hurt."
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGCD8B6inF
"What happened? Why were you and Sarah arguing?"
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85etf4IIwV
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.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZImMZihnD
"Well...she got upset about the banquet."He waited for me to continue but that only made me hesitate even more.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5KhBcJmU8
"She thinks I was trying to talk to Kai, but I wasn't I swear."
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFsg7RXBoK
"Why would she think that?"
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfsyUJgACP
"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-"
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4hQ50A1TH
"He followed you to the bathroom?" He shook his head in confusion.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49EXC532Z5
"Yeah."
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQo7hF7aLN
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.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHeDwmmnsP
"What did he say?"
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2NWvXWEOe
"He asked me if I was okay."
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gWABiwy6w
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.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j5igFucox
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.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPrQcIWvRV
"Do you have any plans today?"
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aAcnEHhfH
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.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqw2Icu0Oo
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.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmL6qQZRCv
"No, I was planning on studying in the library. That's about it."
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNhlIdWpFo
"Could I join you?" He asked.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4ng0Cdx8z
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.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqV0HBH8Hm
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.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdagTdH9Y4f
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.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwEvzRSvJG
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.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwRdwnH0Sn
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.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiFYcnY4AH
"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.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mWBSHwkhC
"What?"
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXUPggOHt7
"You're staring at me."
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm0ic6nxxq
Kill me now.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PkM7swVvp
"Oh, ugh- I spaced out. Sorry."
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMF3ReuiT5
He looked at me from the side of his eyes and closed his laptop.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2mDvFu5Lp
"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.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71UAgfCXQ1
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.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy2ge7M4P0
I decided it would be a good opportunity to roam around the house while no one was there to see me.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2EWLIfZCT
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.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyt74AkCcw
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.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLLe814bDd
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.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZdYcDjrtT
I picked up the dusty frame and held it into my hands to get a better look at who was in the picture.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTOrGIdRtZ
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?
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ9cY0loEG
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.

Kai Peters.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaq3s3Fh5J
I'm in Kai Peters old room.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yhIYb8Ih1
I snapped back up straight and froze.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PoyuhAr7i
I gotta get the hell out of here.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmQotOt5CM
I turned over to the door and almost fell over in shock.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl11ygF1Gtc
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.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtAj26QxwR
"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.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13JP2QbSTv
"Why are you in here to begin with?" He asked aggressively.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRiSbBHzQA
"I- don't know." I twiddled my thumbs nervously hoping he wouldn't run and tell that I was sneaking around the house.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhdXDZsDUp
"Are you with Ian?" He questioned. Not sure what this has to do with anything.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6yHzluoip
"I came with him-"
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvivAtxuyfL
"I mean, are you two a thing?"
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzUDSYke8L
No?
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb2KKZcOB0
Yes?
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJta9kUPlv
I'm not even sure myself. He said he likes me but we aren't really together...yet?
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXumd4ecFtx
"I'm not sure..."
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT60u0FOY8
He just chuckled.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzid6yqOoE
"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."
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipk4T0WMUA
"Persistent?"
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxlH7vm5yP
"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.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqy4M0NdHl
Good luck?
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64rq2FixwO
No. Don't listen to him V. He's bad news and you know it. Just leave it be.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3fF7N9npm
"Well are you going to stand there forever? Leave."
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2mCG3Z5DR
I realized I was still in his room and stepped towards the door before stopping once again.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhIwXjKR2z
Don't do it V. He's bad news. Be smart, walk away.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8DtV4YvG5
"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.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK93KyR3I93
"Curious are we?"
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiSl51kzCt
I didn't reply, instead I stood there waiting patiently for an explanation.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKardiz7dVE
"You'll see soon enough."
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4i6AENXJR
"Just tell me what you mean." I persisted.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeWoSON8d3
He laughed.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S3MMUOLcy
"You are one odd girl."
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTvqXj5fT0
Odd?
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRG7h7SOUd
"I'll tell you, if you do something for me."
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMgVzsPhzh
Like hell. I wouldn't be caught dead doing any favor for Kai Peters.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27tx8ra8DP
"Yeah right." I scoffed and turned hack over and walked out the room.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cUOhXVEJX
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.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOB4r9zMX6
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.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6J1emIqaJ
I shook the thought off not wanting to dwell too much on it, mostly because I didn't feel like crying.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRD7nyOxkI
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.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3WhFTD1iq
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.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJd401zw48
"Hi sunshine."
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFDMVtt8dH
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.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBsqoaCpfp
"Hi."
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1FPa8zRbI
"I like what you've done to the room. We can buy decorations and you can decorate it how you want it."
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSXci2LkyZ
"That sounds nice, I'd like that."
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSqc5QsZkQ
"Would you like to watch a movie with me?"
