Y/n opened the door, and it was Carl? Holding her notebook?
"You dropped it." he says to her, with a blank expression.
"What?" she replied, dumbfounded and confused.
"Your science notebook? It fell out of your bag when you were walking home?" He muttered at her.
"Oh..." she paused.
"...Thanks" she managed to croak at him.
He gives her a weird look and turns to walk out of the gate but Y/n stops him when she shouts
"Wait! How did you know where I lived?" She questioned. To which he replied with
"I followed you..."
and without a second thought, she spat back at him in a harsh tone,
"So THATS why you were walking the same way as me? Why didn't you just give it to me then? Thats creepy."
Carl looks at her, somewhat disgusted but just shrugs his shoulders and walks off.

Y/n shuts the door on him kinda upset with herself for talking to him that way, he didn't have to give it back to her but he did and so her fight or flight response went off in her brain, just like any other time people showed a rare act of kindness and she pushed them as far away from her as possible. She hated herself for it. But got back to making her oatmeal which was by then, nearly ready, but that moment where she spoke to him so harshly kept playing in her mind and she said to herself under her breath
'this is why you have no fucking friends.' Her eyes began to sting with tears which she fought away and would replace with something else later.
