My Calculus class finished as soon as it started.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QvEo9rPgG
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyGvKvn6r0
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoNqYHlHrE
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSgrWAP1JQ
I barely know you.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6lkSd5LyE
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?
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagu0vPyv05
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr2kOJzvfe
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?
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWNYt4wl9W
"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."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8KFXWYGgR
"Sorry, I just needed to be by myself for a minute. I'm okay just a little hurt."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73vNPlWqQJ
"What happened? Why were you and Sarah arguing?"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnjdtrETy3
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR1r8Snbmh
"Well...she got upset about the banquet."He waited for me to continue but that only made me hesitate even more.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOgkS6MaOi
"She thinks I was trying to talk to Kai, but I wasn't I swear."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRix88jG0Os
"Why would she think that?"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW4oBi89OM
"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-"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYBAoHUhsg
"He followed you to the bathroom?" He shook his head in confusion.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkrPB6J3EA
"Yeah."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOE2ymB4Cj5
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FUGz7iKPv
"What did he say?"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyBQ71LDvK
"He asked me if I was okay."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR3rmwUT9c
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lD7ZYibXn
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3A4T7lKup
"Do you have any plans today?"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIajQ0vU7uD
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NhpbF4X3z
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhGUsDtY49
"No, I was planning on studying in the library. That's about it."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7OWlIxycv
"Could I join you?" He asked.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3svGoonTW
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBylGAo49Tq
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHuuIIYcZw
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84wUkAHlGY
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2Yn3NTDVS
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCArzc7J3pA
"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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBS2JpLTQC
"What?"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPhJYAu2bz
"You're staring at me."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvxuKul1pi
Kill me now.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ed6hyyg48
"Oh, ugh- I spaced out. Sorry."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0qtx7HdsB
He looked at me from the side of his eyes and closed his laptop.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLICbNyccoM
"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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xuyNlpzes
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0iQyhLiQQ
I decided it would be a good opportunity to roam around the house while no one was there to see me.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4hbLThepQ
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKpDb3HvXd
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLjnW9q88q
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCqwfdPkH4
I picked up the dusty frame and held it into my hands to get a better look at who was in the picture.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIwbnZcaYi
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?
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUN1WBk8G0
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOmW4iM3Vk
I'm in Kai Peters old room.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTiiPjXMM3
I snapped back up straight and froze.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl9kzvOw2f
I gotta get the hell out of here.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzPQ4qXw9W
I turned over to the door and almost fell over in shock.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjWqfLvh3p
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYbgNiA0tf
"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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxcZrlODPg
"Why are you in here to begin with?" He asked aggressively.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeCxXsDwwA
"I- don't know." I twiddled my thumbs nervously hoping he wouldn't run and tell that I was sneaking around the house.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbqSC2EKSd
"Are you with Ian?" He questioned. Not sure what this has to do with anything.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcVXGBIJrQ
"I came with him-"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQJ7c1DqOp
"I mean, are you two a thing?"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhfwxIE3FF
No?
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ey8Fv0k0g
Yes?
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97n9P4Q4K6
I'm not even sure myself. He said he likes me but we aren't really together...yet?
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2BY70KmlK
"I'm not sure..."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNqOrGD7qX
He just chuckled.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmYdlVwWGY
"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."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWffBpK65j
"Persistent?"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtTiYQrWhp
"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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NvkL8Bw64
Good luck?
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbV6FfGRC0
No. Don't listen to him V. He's bad news and you know it. Just leave it be.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8T5J1Gu1x
"Well are you going to stand there forever? Leave."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKNt2al9O2
I realized I was still in his room and stepped towards the door before stopping once again.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaZMrTEU5C
Don't do it V. He's bad news. Be smart, walk away.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof3YGv5FEa
"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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrOpJA66zq
"Curious are we?"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xXSUrlDPt
I didn't reply, instead I stood there waiting patiently for an explanation.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BHICIR1r2
"You'll see soon enough."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixxzxht3h9
"Just tell me what you mean." I persisted.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY44TrlDLE
He laughed.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJLCt2F5wq
"You are one odd girl."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnsKDjMepT
Odd?
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimDWAgtx2R
"I'll tell you, if you do something for me."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHeuxOm09G
Like hell. I wouldn't be caught dead doing any favor for Kai Peters.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTKDSx2k3h
"Yeah right." I scoffed and turned hack over and walked out the room.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfhOGsnQLj
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB9I1uHJV1
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IbYPlEAvJ
I shook the thought off not wanting to dwell too much on it, mostly because I didn't feel like crying.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL5kfzBN0Z
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hrZtF2Sn3
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcrMSB3b8r
"Hi sunshine."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG75nhQcQkg
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lYYapCmWc
"Hi."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb4dsIftNB
"I like what you've done to the room. We can buy decorations and you can decorate it how you want it."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMZ8UOrSPX
"That sounds nice, I'd like that."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RxUqxCOsT
"Would you like to watch a movie with me?"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEbcPZ8exO
"I would love to."
