My Calculus class finished as soon as it started.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpe7sguovh
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1sJt8QvsT
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIlQxLYcPz
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5CW0btrfK
I barely know you.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRKbF4Y4em
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?
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsjNTi2ln7
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBISCDfRSem
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?
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAelDount0S
"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."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNx9Q9isJq
"Sorry, I just needed to be by myself for a minute. I'm okay just a little hurt."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwyt4fbj07
"What happened? Why were you and Sarah arguing?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i0jVDqgXF
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7Lkz15Dh2
"Well...she got upset about the banquet."He waited for me to continue but that only made me hesitate even more.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMcZunnGVC
"She thinks I was trying to talk to Kai, but I wasn't I swear."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvTn8uUF0M
"Why would she think that?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO4yFQEZtZ
"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-"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HxzUhRs4T
"He followed you to the bathroom?" He shook his head in confusion.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7wjLeTWQa
"Yeah."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92qR2VM7gn
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X0cgtjEEi
"What did he say?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQD7KBlo2E
"He asked me if I was okay."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu4VV8hSRV
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PRYTjIinP
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMQ9mg7e87
"Do you have any plans today?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT86VaGL4Q
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0v0iNYbBo
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZyijYzqUV
"No, I was planning on studying in the library. That's about it."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDxmWPJIKG
"Could I join you?" He asked.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2fxz5hKmu
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSrmO5TL6V
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6FeNBEIvZ
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHLa3twsh7
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdHnCzzuNx
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRnqqR1FKK
"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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbBV4KM6HM
"What?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGy04RrOhg
"You're staring at me."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7xBUANv8r
Kill me now.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhcDYaX8DY
"Oh, ugh- I spaced out. Sorry."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ4o9hQP3d
He looked at me from the side of his eyes and closed his laptop.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg2933KnxO
"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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk6tBNWKaQ
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRnjRFlbkx
I decided it would be a good opportunity to roam around the house while no one was there to see me.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZrdacjInH
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcVKZuQMQN
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93Psu1NzRP
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSSRjZuH8w
I picked up the dusty frame and held it into my hands to get a better look at who was in the picture.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4k97jedMw
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?
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMakc2uK5Q
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPnqv4bM3l

Kai Peters.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAna265zZrL
I'm in Kai Peters old room.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6Pif6sEWT
I snapped back up straight and froze.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuzr4ikVTU
I gotta get the hell out of here.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkLWsXX48J
I turned over to the door and almost fell over in shock.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYtP4I5cwr
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4qqRxXldz
"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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h0VrUto6h
"Why are you in here to begin with?" He asked aggressively.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GxB0iaZZj
"I- don't know." I twiddled my thumbs nervously hoping he wouldn't run and tell that I was sneaking around the house.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7Ed7KJIrh
"Are you with Ian?" He questioned. Not sure what this has to do with anything.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Bkilcec2W
"I came with him-"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHthYB0vLmE
"I mean, are you two a thing?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH56OOIpaJc
No?
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBngzanrD6
Yes?
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWa2ekP7Ik
I'm not even sure myself. He said he likes me but we aren't really together...yet?
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr9kUw9oCZ
"I'm not sure..."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ2jso9etM
He just chuckled.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhcyMGj1gg
"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."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyef2bwXzd6
"Persistent?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyCJFKULvh
"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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMumG4YjeFZ
Good luck?
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy3nuGJUHg
No. Don't listen to him V. He's bad news and you know it. Just leave it be.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZJ5DZyiHZ
"Well are you going to stand there forever? Leave."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZvX1UOzMR
I realized I was still in his room and stepped towards the door before stopping once again.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNxyq8bqi0
Don't do it V. He's bad news. Be smart, walk away.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfUtdVqMaZ
"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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgxFk7Rsvg
"Curious are we?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrxrF4FEln
I didn't reply, instead I stood there waiting patiently for an explanation.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbP2sztGWv
"You'll see soon enough."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cZIXAPIUr
"Just tell me what you mean." I persisted.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfXhRdwLH0
He laughed.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUALDjaGSdP
"You are one odd girl."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiTFlRUaKt
Odd?
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBFYarBUZq
"I'll tell you, if you do something for me."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPnt34LZgl
Like hell. I wouldn't be caught dead doing any favor for Kai Peters.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89Hv2nPMZU
"Yeah right." I scoffed and turned hack over and walked out the room.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomW973U0Di
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx869vs2N6
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHygVYJNS5D
I shook the thought off not wanting to dwell too much on it, mostly because I didn't feel like crying.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZyexcfCBE
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWdIh4YrFX
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAbLVu3qIi
"Hi sunshine."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdbY28Z7Ya
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNZwNdmkCF
"Hi."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHKUlXGV3P
"I like what you've done to the room. We can buy decorations and you can decorate it how you want it."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28EBqWqn8P
"That sounds nice, I'd like that."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwlHGFkN4L
"Would you like to watch a movie with me?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6t4vppmIV
"I would love to."
