everything

chapter 6

it's been a week since i've spoken to ethan. i just keep thinking about that night. i don't know why. i don't want to think about him but i just do. you know when you just have someone on the back of your mind for some reason? that's him. i would consider myself as a person who gets attached easily to someone or something. not that i'm attached to ethan but if something small or even remotely significant happens it's without a doubt going to be on my mind. 

as i'm trying to get my thoughts together i'm running around the room trying to find my shoes which is somewhere buried underneath bella's clothes. our dorm is literally a huge mess. the other day i was studying and bella came in with blair to get ready for a party and the next thing i know our whole room was a disaster. i push of the clothes, put my shoes on, grab my bag and leave to get to my class.

as everyone enters the class half of them are ready to learn and others look like their about to pass out right then and there.

"okay! good morning everyone. today we're going to be working on a-" my teacher starts however is interrupted by the door opening. my eyes shift towards the door and here walks in the devil himself.

ethan walks in. just the same as the first time where he looked like he didn't have himself together. his hair all over the place and his bags under eyes on worse. does he sleep? why do i even care?

"ethan. late. find a sit" mr allen says in a annoyed and serious tone. clearly not impressed with ethan's presence in the classroom. ethan doesn't say anything and walks up. i just ignore him and stare down at my notebook.

"so for guys to get to know each other better i've decided to pair you guys for a project" he continues. the whole muffles clearly not happy with the idea of working in pairs. i really don't mind working pairs. there seems to be a lot of nice people in the class. minus someone.

"sir, can we pick our partners?" a random girl shouts out.

"no, madison. i've already picked out your partners. i know all you guys would just pick your friends to work with. so therefore i've assigned your partners" he speaks out. the whole classroom is filled with sighs, not wanting to work with people they don't know.

"this is a going to be a 5 minute detailed presentation and i will give every pair each chapter to work on." he speaks again.

"nash & freya, the social influence"

"tayler & ally, addiction"

he goes a on and few more names. my legs has been shaking and bouncing up and down nervous to hear my name.

"kayla & ethan, psychological problems." oh my god. no no no. i can't work with him. my breathing starts increasing and my hands fall onto my lap. i'm scared look at him. i slowly dart my eyes to ethan and as soon as i do i see him staring intensely at me. i can't work with him. no way.

'alright class, go sit next to your partner and discuss how are you going to do your presentation' mr allen says while taking a seat into his chair and working on his laptop.

i dart my eyes at ethan again and see that his hand is down on the desk wrapped around his arm. i mentally have the deepest sigh. jesus christ. i grab my stuff and walk over to sit beside him.

i place my bag on the floor and my laptop on the table, he still doesn't get up? ok. i sit in my seat and a wait a few moments later to see if he realizes. he doesn't.

"ethan"

no reply.

"ethan" i say again, a bit louder. is he sleeping?

"hm" he lets out but he still doesn't get up.

"so i was thin-" i beginning speaking to tell him my idea but he abruptly interrupts.

he sits back up on the chair and looks at me with his tired eyes. "okay here's the thing, you're the smart one do the whole presentation and stick my name on it, i'll read whatever slides." he says to me like it's a piece of cake.

"what no" i frown.

"why not? just do it." he says back thinking he's right in this.

"no, ethan. look i'm the last person you want to work with but we have to work together. i'm not doing this by myself" i say feeling annoyed.

"for fuck sakes, fine. come over to my house today at 6pm" he says being straightforward. that was easy.

"why at 6? isn't that late" if we're gonna be working on this for a while why start late?

"because i have shit to do before that" he looks at me with a clenched jaw, clearing getting annoyed.

"well, can we do another day earlier"

"no. today. stop being annoying that it's past your bedtime" he shoots. what the hell? why is he being so difficult.

"what's your problem" i say a bit aggressive. he just looks at me and shakes his head.

a few moments later he speaks up. "give me your phone"

"why"

"just give it"

stupidly i get my phone out of my pocket, unlock it and hand it over to him. i probably shouldn't considering i don't trust what hes going to do whatsoever. he also his phone in front of him and he picks it up with his other hand. what is he doing.

"i texted you my address" he says. oh so he put his number in. yay.

"okay then. today at 6pm" i say fake smiling at him.
