That's strange...

Y/N's POV:
          

           "Y/N.." I felt a hand on my shoulder. "Mmm.." I grumbled as I swatted the hand away. "Y/N!" The voice became more clearer. It was Lucy, my roommate. "Ugh.. What?!" I sat up as I grabbed my pillow, getting ready to throw it at Lucy. "Jeez.. if you're just gonna be a grumpy pants then I won't tell you what I need to tell you." She raised a brow and crossed her arms. I threw the pillow at her and grumbled. She immediately dodged it and busted out laughing. "Ha! You're funny when you're annoyed." She said, as she hugged herself while she laughed. I growled. "What the heck do you want..?" When she finally stopped laughing, she wiped a fake tear off her face and then pointed at my phone. "Check what time it is." I rolled my eyes and reached towards my nightstand - grabbing my cell phone. I turned on my phone and checked the time. "8:00?! Are you serious?" I looked over at Lucy, she shrugged. I kicked off the covers and jump up to my feet. "Why didn't you tell me I was running late??" She shrugged again, "I wasn't keeping up with the time." I facepalmed and ran to the dryer to grab a towel. Afterwards, I ran to the bathroom an practically slammed the door shut. "Jeez.. Hurry much?" I heard Lucy say that from outside the bathroom. 'Of course she would say that.. She don't know what it's like running late to a job and getting yelled at.' I shrugged away my thoughts as I quickly took my bath/shower. When I was finish bathing, I wrapped my towel around my body and raced towards my room. I closed my door shut and put on my uniform. I hurried and put on my shoes. I grab my dorm key and I turned off my bedroom light. I ran out of my room and ran out the front door. I ran the entire way to my job.
        When I finally arrived to the diner, I saw TK struggling to complete orders as he was tending customers. He was running from one place to another. When he was heading back to the register, he noticed me. "There you are!" He said with an irritable tone. Before I could say anything to justify as to why I was late, he placed his hand up an spoke, "I don't care why you're late. The important thing is that you're here. Go clock-in and help me tend these customers." I nodded. I hurried and clocked-in. Afterwards, I ran to the register and started tending to the customers. I ran to people's tables and room their orders as well. The people at the line was looking for their orders to-go. The people at the tables were looking forward to eating here a the diner. After taking people's orders at the tables, I ran to TK and grabbed the foods/drinks and handing it to the respective owner.
         After a few hours later, things settled down a little and the diner was less busy again. I leaned against the register and sighed in relief. I start to get lost in my thoughts. 'I thought I had set up my alarm last night..? Why didn't it wake me up?' I huffed. 'Lucy probably turned it off as a prank.' I snapped back into reality when I felt a soft tap on my shoulder. I look over to see who it was, which it was TK. I looked down and noticed a drink in his hand. I look back up to his face. He chuckled nervously and used his empty hand to scratch the back of his neck. "I.. Uh... Whipped you up some coffee, since you seem to look tired." I took the coffee from him and took a sip. I look at TK and placed my hand gently on his shoulder. "Thank you.. I really did needed this." He smiled back. "No problem.. And I'm sorry if I seem too hard on you. This job and college is stressing me out.. Heh." I laughed. "Ha! You and me both, TK." I moved my hand away from his shoulder and took another sip of the coffee. I trailed back off to my thoughts, forgetting that TK was still standing next to me. I snapped right back into reality. I look back at TK with a puzzled look. "Do you need something?" He faked a cough and fiddled with his fingers. "Well.. Since college and work is stressing us out.. Would you like to go out for a movie after work?" I giggled, and playfully punched his arm. "Sure!" For a moment I lost thought of Peter. TK and I have been friends ever since the first day of college. We became even more closer as we found out we were gonna be coworkers. I'll spend time with Peter another day. I did noticed he didn't call nor texted me when I was checking the time earlier.
        TK and I finished our shift with a breeze. As we were heading out, we saw the rest of our coworkers come in. We wave them goodbye and headed out the diner. When we were outside the diner, I look at TK. "Are you okay with me going home to change?" He nodded and held up a thumbs up. I smiled an nodded. "Wait here. I'll be right back." He pulled out his phone and nodded. I ran to my dorm. I was close to it, but I suddenly bumped into someone. I smashed - face first - into their chest. I instantly backed away, and I looked down at my feet - feeling embarrassed. "I-I'm sorry! I wasn't look where I was going!" I heard a chuckle. I look up and noticed the familiar face. It was Peter. I suddenly felt my face heat up. I fiddled with my fingers and looked away instantly. I felt a smirk creep across his face and I took peek as he stepped closer. As I continued taking a few peeks, I noticed Peter wearing bandages around his stomach area. 'Did he get hurt? Is he ok?' I flinched a little as I felt his hand on my hair. "It's okay, Y/N. Where're you going in such a rush?" I started to feel a sick feeling in my stomach and a bad aura in the atmosphere."Oh.. Well, TK and I are planning on heading to the movies. I was only rushing my way home to change out these dirty work clothes." I felt his hand slowly moved away from my hair and back to his side."Oh.. I apologize for not calling you last night. I was... busy." He placed his hands in his pockets. I looked at him and smiled warmly. "It's okie! No need to apologize. To be honest with you, I fell right to sleep as soon as I plopped onto my bed." I chuckle nervously. 'Why do I feel a slight anger vibe from Peter all of a sudden..?' "Oh ok.. Did you sleep well?" I nodded and smiled warmly at him. "I slept like a baby." He nodded. "That's good.. Well I hope you enjoy your time at the movies." He said, as he started walking away while waving 'bye'. I waved back and ran my way back to my dorm.

TK's POV:
     I sighed as I scrolled though social media. I was watching funny cat videos until I noticed someone standing next to me from the corner of my eye. It was a guy with a no-sleeve hoodie, blue shirt that contains a heart on it. I looked up and made eye contact with the stranger. I gave him a puzzled look. He looked pissed, due to his frowning/angry facial expression. "Can.. I help y-" "Stay.. the fuck away from Y/N." My eyes widened. "Excuse me?" My expression changed from shocked to irritated. "You heard me loud and clear, asshole. Or do I gotta make it more 'clear' for you..?" I stood up from leaning against the wall, making my full body face towards him. "Are you fucking threatening me??" He scoffs. "So what if I am?" I tightened my grip on my phone. I growled. "Who're you to come over here and tell me to stay away from *my* friend/coworker??" He frowned and looked at me up and down. "Don't worry about who I am. Worry about your life being on the line if you keep being around Y-" "TK! I'm back! Sorry I took so long!" I looked over the guy's shoulder and saw Y/N making their way back over towards me. 'Thank goodness.. This creep was honestly starting to piss me off.' I walked right passed him and placed my phone in my pocket. I smiled warmly at Y/N and shrugged. "Hey, don't worry about it. You didn't take long at all. Ready to go?" They nodded. They looked over my shoulder and saw the creep still standing behind me. They walked passed me and went between me and the guy. Y/N looked at me and then the guy. "I see you two met each other." He scratched the back of his neck and nodded. "Yeah... I was passing by the diner and I saw this guy. I figured he was that coworker you're going to the movies with." Y/N looked at me. I chuckled nervously and nodded. "Yes! We were talking about different kinds of movies.." I trailed off for a moment. I looked over at the guy. He had a sly smirk creeping across his face. "Yes, we were. In fact, we were so deep into our conversation that we forgot to introduce our names." He stepped beside Y/N and held out his hand - signaling for me to shake it. I had a nervous pit in my stomach as I extend my hand and shook his. I looked over at Y/N and they smiled. I guess they thought that this guy and I will get along. "The name's Peter." "Tk.. is my name." I let go of his hand. I looked over at my wrist watch and pretended to check the time. "Well.. Y/N, we should get going so we don't miss the movie." They clasp their hand on their forehead and their eyes widened a little. "Oh, you're definitely right." She turned her head towards Peter. "I apologize, Peter, but we gotta go." He smiled at her and nodded. I instantly grabbed their hand and we went on our way. I can feel Peter staring daggers into my back as we were walking away from him. 

Peter's POV:

     As this... guy was walking away from my Y/N, I was glaring at him. 'I expected him to cancel their 'plans' with Y/N after I gave him that warning to stay away from them, but I guess I gotta make myself more clear...' I thought. Once they got a bit of distance away from me, I went into the same direction as them and decided to follow them. 

'I'm gonna pay this.. TK.. a little visit later.'
