My Calculus class finished as soon as it started.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3cZ5ZYix2
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DdRK8C2jh
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jYaepAxQf
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9ntUNCPuo
I barely know you.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNlERRIt1Y
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?
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bhRxSBuKA
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApDkmoEIeo
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?
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yoIWu74ng
"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."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik8UIPMAKt
"Sorry, I just needed to be by myself for a minute. I'm okay just a little hurt."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI8rt7PVvy
"What happened? Why were you and Sarah arguing?"
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYYmIFtifW
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhwENQuFDe
"Well...she got upset about the banquet."He waited for me to continue but that only made me hesitate even more.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI6eH0jvw4
"She thinks I was trying to talk to Kai, but I wasn't I swear."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZoAo22osO
"Why would she think that?"
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7qanabmin
"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-"
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tsVlLgkQG
"He followed you to the bathroom?" He shook his head in confusion.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95DKxjAaCI
"Yeah."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtlEZgmI59
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6yEqp43wM
"What did he say?"
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD9QeBGo5z
"He asked me if I was okay."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHT2aLSLyM
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojPtKxytml
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCjd1v1kjK
"Do you have any plans today?"
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUpmljPHo3
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVi0TsfsHe
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAwJCCmEMo
"No, I was planning on studying in the library. That's about it."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVQB7PL8tl
"Could I join you?" He asked.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsApCUwsIZc
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfS7UwbKDLQ
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ocSAbzBOz
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsibwT0o3AQ
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPae6Ubck8
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLL87ZWx5c
"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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeiIbrNmh2
"What?"
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuVvy5jWS4
"You're staring at me."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTfuEoBv41
Kill me now.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH7zwd1pUr
"Oh, ugh- I spaced out. Sorry."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0SML3pa12
He looked at me from the side of his eyes and closed his laptop.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9MtHyRjOK
"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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH49gKqisG
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf20Dymf4MV
I decided it would be a good opportunity to roam around the house while no one was there to see me.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTWKtv8pMD
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kS6lSOnjT
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2cNQKotrk
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCwDE570tu
I picked up the dusty frame and held it into my hands to get a better look at who was in the picture.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvArvy6A3K
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?
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S9AejRd4j
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.

Kai Peters.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpdIpiXc2X
I'm in Kai Peters old room.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw0RNIHaXw
I snapped back up straight and froze.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg1fheM2Eq
I gotta get the hell out of here.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8ezTHajka
I turned over to the door and almost fell over in shock.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOdisX1vEy
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgKRuKWsLH
"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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9iPaaiSJ6
"Why are you in here to begin with?" He asked aggressively.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOYHtpiSfz
"I- don't know." I twiddled my thumbs nervously hoping he wouldn't run and tell that I was sneaking around the house.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEkylA3Osk
"Are you with Ian?" He questioned. Not sure what this has to do with anything.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibpZtIHRJ7
"I came with him-"
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXPrkMggme
"I mean, are you two a thing?"
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwcaZ6jE7K
No?
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSoQ4ibiYU
Yes?
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFvmIpFbym
I'm not even sure myself. He said he likes me but we aren't really together...yet?
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgszszCW6R
"I'm not sure..."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOvmjJwFS5
He just chuckled.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTcbrHYlBY
"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."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg82ot1mPf
"Persistent?"
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxmTbpYKIr
"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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsyntrOpMI
Good luck?
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m1wGn0fF5
No. Don't listen to him V. He's bad news and you know it. Just leave it be.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDFUrZ7hHH
"Well are you going to stand there forever? Leave."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFaiIb0FpA
I realized I was still in his room and stepped towards the door before stopping once again.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG3ee8w7Ah
Don't do it V. He's bad news. Be smart, walk away.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlISp37ZJc
"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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw4ycQblEX
"Curious are we?"
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFV1JAjJWY
I didn't reply, instead I stood there waiting patiently for an explanation.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsMJbhLoeo
"You'll see soon enough."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTJajYZkbc
"Just tell me what you mean." I persisted.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYxXhtAuIw
He laughed.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsyL7neUgz
"You are one odd girl."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV86sQgkiLz
Odd?
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT4Aj1kJa2
"I'll tell you, if you do something for me."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFvr8I367B
Like hell. I wouldn't be caught dead doing any favor for Kai Peters.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWDY1KhDOd
"Yeah right." I scoffed and turned hack over and walked out the room.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTMJ6Rrlsn
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJS7S7aW3p8
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqyUi21Q6j
I shook the thought off not wanting to dwell too much on it, mostly because I didn't feel like crying.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawJrESmKZx
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXvhDwGZWd
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BImof7w9G
"Hi sunshine."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmpb4bxCjJ
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iIApKZmf2
"Hi."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65x47Rsknt
"I like what you've done to the room. We can buy decorations and you can decorate it how you want it."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1kgqUs7gR
"That sounds nice, I'd like that."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIdQwx8IY0
"Would you like to watch a movie with me?"
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk3KXmkfkc
"I would love to."
