My Calculus class finished as soon as it started.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUfLplTYNu
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCQn53MKUZ
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNlEiitZGm
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBnBqKMu2U
I barely know you.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDj1LM5HmD
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?
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZQrcRq32L
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MUcG9iTrS
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?
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMVy4XK9Nl
"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."
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigLzNRN0fq
"Sorry, I just needed to be by myself for a minute. I'm okay just a little hurt."
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnv5VWRPX9Y
"What happened? Why were you and Sarah arguing?"
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcMH4FDmmf
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPn1qgpg5f
"Well...she got upset about the banquet."He waited for me to continue but that only made me hesitate even more.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLM11Jq7hS
"She thinks I was trying to talk to Kai, but I wasn't I swear."
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2DVqkuJUc
"Why would she think that?"
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszbTziut3a
"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-"
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD5EfKd6qV
"He followed you to the bathroom?" He shook his head in confusion.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx67WvA35u
"Yeah."
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyzGGfNlO2
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid8SLPXx3K
"What did he say?"
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWj1DFE28Pm
"He asked me if I was okay."
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplRlCQxrN7
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKfjYkimvY
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFdsXAyP3G
"Do you have any plans today?"
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAM0SvgPJP
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW0oDECL9o
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1ai8RfSmK
"No, I was planning on studying in the library. That's about it."
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U9fRh0Cqv
"Could I join you?" He asked.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1EcFrMe1v
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu5xinCYD9
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh17QWoJAB
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzinCuWIhQ
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKezlnQNYt
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPvop8qfVi
"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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HpuLMhtz9
"What?"
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgUBAp0F1h
"You're staring at me."
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsuGZSvqmD
Kill me now.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRoPTI6eU2
"Oh, ugh- I spaced out. Sorry."
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjShuFSQnjh
He looked at me from the side of his eyes and closed his laptop.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiht4yWNRUd
"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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n1onPp9nY
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ650w65PWVA
I decided it would be a good opportunity to roam around the house while no one was there to see me.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcSu5AmFFg
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s7uWGygEj
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYnDo2foj9
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTWL3vbCAQ
I picked up the dusty frame and held it into my hands to get a better look at who was in the picture.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfaA5WRkpn
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?
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6e7Qu8rKD
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pvKo7x1Fz

Kai Peters.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYuIX7eY6m
I'm in Kai Peters old room.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfQrmq3C8T
I snapped back up straight and froze.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe57y9GvXiJ
I gotta get the hell out of here.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbn1XkrwBu
I turned over to the door and almost fell over in shock.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYyFhcpnwe
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63Hk4gat20
"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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGAjvhmB16
"Why are you in here to begin with?" He asked aggressively.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuIyYlmzAy
"I- don't know." I twiddled my thumbs nervously hoping he wouldn't run and tell that I was sneaking around the house.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwUuBIjve8
"Are you with Ian?" He questioned. Not sure what this has to do with anything.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUfqi473gD
"I came with him-"
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4mfqgQFNu
"I mean, are you two a thing?"
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm21ILxrkiA
No?
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC3wTo0bLc
Yes?
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHKGpAZfjt
I'm not even sure myself. He said he likes me but we aren't really together...yet?
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUc9xFsb5f
"I'm not sure..."
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM2znpC1sx
He just chuckled.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oYjJihlso
"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."
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohhDCtawCw
"Persistent?"
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0JBxP3pP3
"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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb647Lve6T
Good luck?
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaa2MLk6bUg
No. Don't listen to him V. He's bad news and you know it. Just leave it be.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd6bdnOba9
"Well are you going to stand there forever? Leave."
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNifRiuHWoo
I realized I was still in his room and stepped towards the door before stopping once again.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrSNBw9aaQ
Don't do it V. He's bad news. Be smart, walk away.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxBhKQ7gJR
"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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMCmkSinvT
"Curious are we?"
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm5wBKWFlR
I didn't reply, instead I stood there waiting patiently for an explanation.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bcO4Itm4L
"You'll see soon enough."
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0FWWqVeGP
"Just tell me what you mean." I persisted.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxWTN1lPIg
He laughed.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvbrAki6Va
"You are one odd girl."
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVsf8Z6G8y
Odd?
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKOr6k3nIZ
"I'll tell you, if you do something for me."
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0cYvdLr76
Like hell. I wouldn't be caught dead doing any favor for Kai Peters.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99HL8XPqn2
"Yeah right." I scoffed and turned hack over and walked out the room.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTjO6MZL25
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxiK4nogvh
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFVcV2R5F7
I shook the thought off not wanting to dwell too much on it, mostly because I didn't feel like crying.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFMFBnB6bs
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4bYZlVkdD
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS8Fdtu54L
"Hi sunshine."
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3mU61gEN4
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxh3PgZQwd
"Hi."
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9APCCGlr06
"I like what you've done to the room. We can buy decorations and you can decorate it how you want it."
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubdUZmNkF1
"That sounds nice, I'd like that."
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF9o98SAFW
"Would you like to watch a movie with me?"
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4RFK1losC
"I would love to."
