My Calculus class finished as soon as it started.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCYUkNH3mL
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QvWUL59gI
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W6Ji3wtdR
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNNTt53047
I barely know you.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDtg3MnPqb
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?
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbBSmpuXhH
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoinEqVwg7
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?
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzqEIJIvuH
"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."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM4EAFd4Um
"Sorry, I just needed to be by myself for a minute. I'm okay just a little hurt."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9tZ3LWWmd
"What happened? Why were you and Sarah arguing?"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnBrTvd0fI
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD6kSZBfFg
"Well...she got upset about the banquet."He waited for me to continue but that only made me hesitate even more.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwWGb8yE59
"She thinks I was trying to talk to Kai, but I wasn't I swear."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhQiRxJIAW
"Why would she think that?"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wfue8WgC4
"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-"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxj0eQlC7j
"He followed you to the bathroom?" He shook his head in confusion.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxG2bruj4l
"Yeah."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPV9zeu56Z
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaenIpbwc9M
"What did he say?"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlZ1fjI7y4
"He asked me if I was okay."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqUIU6AQ7d
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q9hespKEz
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVqYxlOVq1
"Do you have any plans today?"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtNqkyvN2m
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9jleJkAtu
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLFCD6NYC8
"No, I was planning on studying in the library. That's about it."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kDKvGO0rK
"Could I join you?" He asked.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfsnYRH2zE
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3bcEj8m2Z
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBojys9PmLq
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNSoz7DYil
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmCyrxFW5V
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U3jJse0s9
"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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlglusDhyXW
"What?"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IM3g5roHe
"You're staring at me."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeozL8UW38
Kill me now.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDg9jV1zBZJ
"Oh, ugh- I spaced out. Sorry."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuVJ0UEtqb
He looked at me from the side of his eyes and closed his laptop.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF85IMCR8Et
"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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VPtWULmcV
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhlXxhWZXC
I decided it would be a good opportunity to roam around the house while no one was there to see me.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76rhxFscrm
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsoGK8gIjy
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpJgCwodcn
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK5oBE9Wqu
I picked up the dusty frame and held it into my hands to get a better look at who was in the picture.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeJNZlmz4s
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?
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7V0poGX1TC
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a4JsPppcA

Kai Peters.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeSwuks2GM
I'm in Kai Peters old room.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvlb9XQa5U
I snapped back up straight and froze.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQWEhlgTAc
I gotta get the hell out of here.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AY1wGCgE0
I turned over to the door and almost fell over in shock.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwExxsAW78v
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneL7JdEtyq
"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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgFa0jmA3n
"Why are you in here to begin with?" He asked aggressively.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNHZ4EajpD
"I- don't know." I twiddled my thumbs nervously hoping he wouldn't run and tell that I was sneaking around the house.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBssmNxgYZP
"Are you with Ian?" He questioned. Not sure what this has to do with anything.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR0AYCOlJJ
"I came with him-"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TgJxJzDgF
"I mean, are you two a thing?"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBMhZu9TZs
No?
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyx5ZioIey
Yes?
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NE0jPSa0f
I'm not even sure myself. He said he likes me but we aren't really together...yet?
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsz44B1OHB1
"I'm not sure..."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7KGYW0tTw
He just chuckled.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XEOcNOUn7
"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."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nLDju9Oak
"Persistent?"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXJ2LLnJWz
"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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwBUbX7fsj
Good luck?
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37PqJxXvi2
No. Don't listen to him V. He's bad news and you know it. Just leave it be.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrFRRXdm3t
"Well are you going to stand there forever? Leave."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVdE43LJrN
I realized I was still in his room and stepped towards the door before stopping once again.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp2A8jHOab
Don't do it V. He's bad news. Be smart, walk away.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCljpgSwB7
"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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGySfA44Sqb
"Curious are we?"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f3yBotu8H
I didn't reply, instead I stood there waiting patiently for an explanation.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfdX1JmPIE
"You'll see soon enough."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK3nouY7gy
"Just tell me what you mean." I persisted.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ga1h4rsAL
He laughed.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZTr6Cmv84
"You are one odd girl."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0cKiPMqp8
Odd?
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKzAOgJFED
"I'll tell you, if you do something for me."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi261mFKFKB
Like hell. I wouldn't be caught dead doing any favor for Kai Peters.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP29krK7U64
"Yeah right." I scoffed and turned hack over and walked out the room.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zM5Lrt44H
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0G23EyN14P
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g9MrGmwHN
I shook the thought off not wanting to dwell too much on it, mostly because I didn't feel like crying.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFjBzpxPeU
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA1ZR8HB49
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg1FhT481a
"Hi sunshine."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErewO5UaXn
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrn9ZHJivu
"Hi."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7QD7BcwIR
"I like what you've done to the room. We can buy decorations and you can decorate it how you want it."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnXoKLRvs8
"That sounds nice, I'd like that."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYapJXVnjgU
"Would you like to watch a movie with me?"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHQPyWW5B7
"I would love to."
