My Calculus class finished as soon as it started.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ouxbqch2q
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.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60u2zya5f7
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.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwWzqdmjQ3
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.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZFbXRvaRa
I barely know you.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJrwoUDAvE
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?
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8AnAAE85r
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.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaGaoXdgOj
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?
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHD2zigP0I
"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."
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfdUBGrLLo
"Sorry, I just needed to be by myself for a minute. I'm okay just a little hurt."
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr0H33Xx6u
"What happened? Why were you and Sarah arguing?"
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DMJgHLW0h
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.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY10sBSvwX
"Well...she got upset about the banquet."He waited for me to continue but that only made me hesitate even more.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ncTEkembA
"She thinks I was trying to talk to Kai, but I wasn't I swear."
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWijmB488e
"Why would she think that?"
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLfGvbGLCV
"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-"
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCxOqmHamv
"He followed you to the bathroom?" He shook his head in confusion.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbv5007YSfV
"Yeah."
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNudag1wBlr
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.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RTADmQNJZ
"What did he say?"
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztzoPdswDQ
"He asked me if I was okay."
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqiII5bMqI
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.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKs5OVyGjB
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.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHWVqLBD2W
"Do you have any plans today?"
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolE0GKR65M
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.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U32IGaMHm
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.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSucCOrRUum
"No, I was planning on studying in the library. That's about it."
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtLpvW7pO6
"Could I join you?" He asked.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EjN5NZllE
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.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn2OIVG8kq
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.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0CBRNoFcR
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.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpcGiYQcjv
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.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmWuRiqcmE
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.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0K9YaM0Dl
"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.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7WMDHCjw4
"What?"
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEr9A4PVTO
"You're staring at me."
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2UI1C5Hkd
Kill me now.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK29nuZ5BkF
"Oh, ugh- I spaced out. Sorry."
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv3iIOyuyv
He looked at me from the side of his eyes and closed his laptop.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZABnfG9QwZ
"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.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmVqy7gdBt
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.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxWV5SE4tm
I decided it would be a good opportunity to roam around the house while no one was there to see me.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKOycy9e6k
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.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoQWLiutEJ
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.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh5cyNmNFE
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.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk8lSg1uDp
I picked up the dusty frame and held it into my hands to get a better look at who was in the picture.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFTvbtD7iE
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?
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4V6GVJ5tA
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.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3cd1AcvHh

Kai Peters.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyz6NCKuKY
I'm in Kai Peters old room.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw05x2Svac0
I snapped back up straight and froze.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx2YxqXctB
I gotta get the hell out of here.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImjzMMi5gO
I turned over to the door and almost fell over in shock.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sfChjw2l4
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.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt83AkHKqt
"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.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle0RV9LR9Y
"Why are you in here to begin with?" He asked aggressively.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb0HitJl3Q
"I- don't know." I twiddled my thumbs nervously hoping he wouldn't run and tell that I was sneaking around the house.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtTtDm4qcP
"Are you with Ian?" He questioned. Not sure what this has to do with anything.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI7DjRKVo3
"I came with him-"
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcjk8H1Mpv
"I mean, are you two a thing?"
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnJUYQ6jK8
No?
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA65sTBSRN
Yes?
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTNow6pc7q
I'm not even sure myself. He said he likes me but we aren't really together...yet?
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNop6FafmK
"I'm not sure..."
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYgqPd3jAS
He just chuckled.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHWGcX3ufL
"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."
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAoz62UBO5
"Persistent?"
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5DusO8S2Y
"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.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kbo8JwYA7
Good luck?
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLL3DN8rFL
No. Don't listen to him V. He's bad news and you know it. Just leave it be.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRgKmTbdRs
"Well are you going to stand there forever? Leave."
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMTkI23pYt
I realized I was still in his room and stepped towards the door before stopping once again.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6yPTwSLoI
Don't do it V. He's bad news. Be smart, walk away.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFeK4fbFwJ
"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.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzpI49zY4l
"Curious are we?"
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbODQgGSyL
I didn't reply, instead I stood there waiting patiently for an explanation.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBoDML08na
"You'll see soon enough."
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUMcwIIZ4X
"Just tell me what you mean." I persisted.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhu3672Yj1
He laughed.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaaF9pRxoR
"You are one odd girl."
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygBCnmWe4p
Odd?
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwiApIEHqy
"I'll tell you, if you do something for me."
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGcW7avfYS
Like hell. I wouldn't be caught dead doing any favor for Kai Peters.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4cGpXfeWf
"Yeah right." I scoffed and turned hack over and walked out the room.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjirlFq0xUK
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.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNrSZSexRA
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.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxB13a0A4O
I shook the thought off not wanting to dwell too much on it, mostly because I didn't feel like crying.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTV7s0Hrv9
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.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ESSYQJCXO
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.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxalLNaZRmO
"Hi sunshine."
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L6DiqDq8X
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.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUPTr6yrQJ
"Hi."
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHeWmnL8Tb
"I like what you've done to the room. We can buy decorations and you can decorate it how you want it."
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUqfST4NiX
"That sounds nice, I'd like that."
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnkmW7yiEC
"Would you like to watch a movie with me?"
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OFHus7Z8q
"I would love to."
