My Calculus class finished as soon as it started.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvgrNYG24A
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRdjNFapbc
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSs1EGsl6Q
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZW2bd6844
I barely know you.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhazFE6T8ta
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?
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5qAFEZFjw
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SKTSLnPT8
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?
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8ziMI3FAR
"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."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn2MQIrqgC
"Sorry, I just needed to be by myself for a minute. I'm okay just a little hurt."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPbat0F6o8
"What happened? Why were you and Sarah arguing?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65RslDqFIa
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS8VYd62g8
"Well...she got upset about the banquet."He waited for me to continue but that only made me hesitate even more.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DOfJhpiyy
"She thinks I was trying to talk to Kai, but I wasn't I swear."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyJZX0VMgM
"Why would she think that?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTYSvhpXko
"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-"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjnwB4gNIq
"He followed you to the bathroom?" He shook his head in confusion.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjcMnvoY0b
"Yeah."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK5Xq75NeS
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ379snU2fs9
"What did he say?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtNmNUHHIl
"He asked me if I was okay."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I1NbfagEi
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeorrYsKot
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaiEfv2zhu
"Do you have any plans today?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pgpbc6vHw
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAIGfWxu7f
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kVllq8sRw
"No, I was planning on studying in the library. That's about it."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU26sCpbeha
"Could I join you?" He asked.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jpHHV9go6
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgglBJ2g3Ue
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ1Ckr8lCf
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy4IGtQO7B
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7avaR8sMi
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeSnzWw2IL
"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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLzKKOEHpT
"What?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfDfY8QSJL
"You're staring at me."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kLkevFR4F
Kill me now.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxMvbtmQ7h
"Oh, ugh- I spaced out. Sorry."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJeRTO2Ons
He looked at me from the side of his eyes and closed his laptop.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv500oJUV6K
"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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2S41BUQpw
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcpD3i5ajF
I decided it would be a good opportunity to roam around the house while no one was there to see me.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6KJRuz0af
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOr3AQILc8
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw25Q6jhJJj
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfMKVNsn0z
I picked up the dusty frame and held it into my hands to get a better look at who was in the picture.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHicxmOCbfN
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?
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6IdoJbEO4
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkDg1LvwOU

Kai Peters.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBwZHzPafr
I'm in Kai Peters old room.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0AwOqmAf7
I snapped back up straight and froze.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFwk6KX1La
I gotta get the hell out of here.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JRIbSr8QF
I turned over to the door and almost fell over in shock.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJsc1C7Wyk
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJFgFLrTlJ
"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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtRgNMK8f8
"Why are you in here to begin with?" He asked aggressively.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaYiC2UOza
"I- don't know." I twiddled my thumbs nervously hoping he wouldn't run and tell that I was sneaking around the house.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeakIhzTt7
"Are you with Ian?" He questioned. Not sure what this has to do with anything.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLRPrOP3vO
"I came with him-"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrphSrWAuTl
"I mean, are you two a thing?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QX4OIVWSt
No?
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8bKmLzpTw
Yes?
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVjpUHIB6N
I'm not even sure myself. He said he likes me but we aren't really together...yet?
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TSteU4Cnn
"I'm not sure..."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDxRnGUGTR
He just chuckled.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dXsS9alMA
"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."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskDu4Ql1Jf
"Persistent?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazpyvNHn3g
"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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy35mk1NdpX
Good luck?
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lefUZxkoe
No. Don't listen to him V. He's bad news and you know it. Just leave it be.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh5crPT5rQ
"Well are you going to stand there forever? Leave."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxuWZ4y6Qb
I realized I was still in his room and stepped towards the door before stopping once again.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LX5NGkSo7
Don't do it V. He's bad news. Be smart, walk away.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFh2PxhwWIr
"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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxwhIWII4V
"Curious are we?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxcl2jxgeg
I didn't reply, instead I stood there waiting patiently for an explanation.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn1aqYBAB0
"You'll see soon enough."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQaV8C9ycR
"Just tell me what you mean." I persisted.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwDdDyX8T9
He laughed.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg1zha8jet
"You are one odd girl."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rJ8h6xXXc
Odd?
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0xaiB6mQL
"I'll tell you, if you do something for me."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRGwgNsMal
Like hell. I wouldn't be caught dead doing any favor for Kai Peters.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PG2z35Kip
"Yeah right." I scoffed and turned hack over and walked out the room.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h0sBlnT2u
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSELw9LGFdI
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG8sdNPrKY
I shook the thought off not wanting to dwell too much on it, mostly because I didn't feel like crying.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrQtJdAioP
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bNvmyNRSi
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo59lmsUHw
"Hi sunshine."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpShIetZ1e
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRHoGwmapH
"Hi."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuB6JtUn1V
"I like what you've done to the room. We can buy decorations and you can decorate it how you want it."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifVOZiwDkt
"That sounds nice, I'd like that."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcRRaE65Qk
"Would you like to watch a movie with me?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik5YmwIQvt
