Time doesn't matter

6. She took me with her

CHARLIE POV

SHE TOOK ME WITH HER!

SHE TOOK ME WITH HER?

WHAT THE FUCK!?

Ok, yeah I've known I could go back in time for a while now. Maybe since mid last school year, so a few months. I just tried to avoid it. I think it's weird and immoral to use time travel to get the stuff you want. I try to use it for unnecessary stuff. For stuff that doesn't affect another person, like watching a full movie in just 15 minutes. Stupid stuff.

I'm still looking at her shocked. And she is returning it. We stare at each other until she breaks and sits back on her seat ignoring what just happened. But not before she hands me a pen. The same pen she just handed me in the other reality. The pen I asked for just to make conversation. I'm not that stupid to not being a pen to school, especially the first day.

I take the hint and sit back on my seat looking in front of me. I'm there but my mind is spiraling.

She can return in time too? How long has she known? Does she do it often? Was I affected by it before? Would she want to watch a full movie in 15 minutes with me?

I'm definitely gonna have to talk to her and figure all of this out. I hope she doesn't avoid me this time.

PAIGE POV

I can't believe this happened. How does he know about returning in time? Can he do it too? I have so many questions.

But I'm stubborn so I'm going to avoid it as much as possible.

As we leave the Math class I hear him call for me as I'm heading to the gym for P.E. The bad part is that I know his schedule, he has music now, and the arts and sports buildings are on the same area so I won't be able to ignore him very well. But I manage it. I throw myself into a crowded group and lose him as I run to the gymnasium.

I find the twins there already getting warmed up and I join them. I can't tell them anything about what is going on with me. They'll freak out. So I just try to hide my thoughts while we do laps so Mr. Berry can see our level in fitness.

After that class I had biology with Charlie. I walk in the lab and take a seat on my assigned stool. I completely ignored Charlie's pleas to talk.

I was contemplating going back to before I even tried to return but I didn't know it it would work. I was completely dumbfounded. And even if I did that it would change the fact that Charlie knows about it. And it would be even harder to talk about it when it's a reality he didn't even experience that incident.

Omg I'm confusing myself.

After biology we had Spanish. Charlie finally took a hint and stopped pressuring me to talk, but I'm sure he will bring it back up later.

At lunch I walked into the cafeteria and quickly grabbed an apple and sit at my friends' table. We talked casually about how our day was going. I ate my apple in peace while I contemplated everything. This is the worst first days of school ever.

I finally got a break when I had History and Charlie had Economy so I was just concentrating on what the teacher was saying and dredging the next class. Study hall.
