My Calculus class finished as soon as it started.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGMp9R3zzK
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf83ZuYWXZr
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYZd5HmGFY
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfeMcU76Gf
I barely know you.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpHhVVIyPO
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?
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdhOSTD46d
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHp3XBm8ec
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?
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1pxCYBBgU
"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."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsurMtLjWX
"Sorry, I just needed to be by myself for a minute. I'm okay just a little hurt."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OMJT4mABD
"What happened? Why were you and Sarah arguing?"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVWc6rMLEJ
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZNWilG6eW
"Well...she got upset about the banquet."He waited for me to continue but that only made me hesitate even more.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K5oLPOCLQ
"She thinks I was trying to talk to Kai, but I wasn't I swear."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8glxzx8xhR
"Why would she think that?"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx0A3ye3vu
"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-"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUzlr51jjV
"He followed you to the bathroom?" He shook his head in confusion.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfzU9ze7qw
"Yeah."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgZc9Ko3lH
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lwFDJEZJq
"What did he say?"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLHRmdCvvN
"He asked me if I was okay."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpevT8sPt59
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUOsWyq1by
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4ECwvPzJI
"Do you have any plans today?"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqg4WojS0E
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e1hVY3iRt
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkBAVHdzBo
"No, I was planning on studying in the library. That's about it."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJBuauMNLb
"Could I join you?" He asked.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNOEMTtZaX
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI2CsCEcO7
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEM91AZJdA
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNU8OmXyqQ
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzMdkNQw7s
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43O35lgDEU
"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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AH8SYD5yr
"What?"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI1Y6aWHAZ
"You're staring at me."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOom5aRTdc
Kill me now.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wvp8Py4ha
"Oh, ugh- I spaced out. Sorry."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAt5Ll7BHNO
He looked at me from the side of his eyes and closed his laptop.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsE934gPbp
"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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXzSApxZW6
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQQSNHiyH3
I decided it would be a good opportunity to roam around the house while no one was there to see me.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5yys2q5Dg
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhK4gARRnF
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERU2BS9xQh
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AES2mHQxc
I picked up the dusty frame and held it into my hands to get a better look at who was in the picture.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklrydTuSAN
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?
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2qdkaiBfo
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ8YAdlJrU

Kai Peters.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpSU9POkZZ
I'm in Kai Peters old room.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvvFrAuFVD
I snapped back up straight and froze.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpF7vDLk9j
I gotta get the hell out of here.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYx02YBOOV
I turned over to the door and almost fell over in shock.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY9zvWXkuL
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b4BpmSuSN
"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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlhsu1jsrR
"Why are you in here to begin with?" He asked aggressively.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCsp8TfrMy
"I- don't know." I twiddled my thumbs nervously hoping he wouldn't run and tell that I was sneaking around the house.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzlx8S1B5N
"Are you with Ian?" He questioned. Not sure what this has to do with anything.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqTlkrs6rV
"I came with him-"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDYdaQP3j9
"I mean, are you two a thing?"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxcer6SMV6
No?
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19e1G3VKDw
Yes?
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8Q6ZzI2FK
I'm not even sure myself. He said he likes me but we aren't really together...yet?
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVmhvtobZH
"I'm not sure..."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefvX0XFchF
He just chuckled.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0auTps71FT
"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."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFlnA1KKHG
"Persistent?"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkf7dvwDWm
"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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95jKrHCuts
Good luck?
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFcwWyvb9s
No. Don't listen to him V. He's bad news and you know it. Just leave it be.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe873HGE1J
"Well are you going to stand there forever? Leave."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g3IrXQ0gl
I realized I was still in his room and stepped towards the door before stopping once again.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaemQsndsf
Don't do it V. He's bad news. Be smart, walk away.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T6zfx4tdP
"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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wUcN8J5ut
"Curious are we?"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbIYj7AJCp
I didn't reply, instead I stood there waiting patiently for an explanation.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRCrDu7lsI
"You'll see soon enough."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LMf3LNPUK
"Just tell me what you mean." I persisted.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshFkxzWPC0
He laughed.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCE0GPqkGk
"You are one odd girl."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FaRBTSKlI
Odd?
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozdSxCLfBe
"I'll tell you, if you do something for me."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyAzQGcl6N
Like hell. I wouldn't be caught dead doing any favor for Kai Peters.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0uEsrLoPt
"Yeah right." I scoffed and turned hack over and walked out the room.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrIwfc3hfr
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaArgulR9h
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBnbl440c5
I shook the thought off not wanting to dwell too much on it, mostly because I didn't feel like crying.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFOkPJHsa5
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECEYAtSVOx
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OFSCAvNAc
"Hi sunshine."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBXiy3Js3X
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYupKYqIp9
"Hi."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RRVxrQKIC
"I like what you've done to the room. We can buy decorations and you can decorate it how you want it."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCNafdZk2w
"That sounds nice, I'd like that."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHblhPJYp0
"Would you like to watch a movie with me?"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms9C7f4PvQ
"I would love to."
