I woke up in the morning to rustling around.
For a moment I forgot I was at peters

The room was bright. I looked at the blinds and they were open. The sun beamed in my eyes

"Morning"
Peter says, standing by his closet door. It took me a second to process he had no shirt on.
He's actually like really fit

He quickly put one of his science t-shirts on noticing I was looking at him

"What time is it?"
I ask yawn and Peter looks at his phone

"5:00 am"
He says seriously and I look at him confused

"Then why is it so bright"

"I'm kidding it's 40 minutes till we have to go to school"
He says walking over to his bed

"Would you just give me a straight answer"
I groan.

I get down from the top bunk and Peter watches me cautiously
"What"
I ask with a chuckle

"I've slipped on that so many times. I didn't want you to slip"
He tells

"Well thank you"
He takes my hand helping me down

He chuckles
"Ill get out of your hair. I'll be in Mays room if you need me"

I got dressed in one of the outfits I packed and it was kinda chilly out so Peter loaned me a gray zip up hoodie.

Peter usually takes the bus but May insisted on driving us

We got to school and we just hung out till we had to go to Chemistry.

We were going to do a lab on Wednesday so we had to choose partners today.. and of course i heard partners and I immediately turned my head to Peter.

We walked to gym together and we accidentally got there early so we were able to dress out quickly and just chill on the mat.

"I know I keep going back to it but am I totally irrational for leaving my house"
I say, thinking about my midnight call with my mother

"No way. You acted like you should've"
He says and pats my hand

He scoots closer to me so that we're right next to each other and he says
"If you don't want to go home I'd be happy to let you stay with me again"

He scoots back away from me and then looks at the door and I look at the zipper on peters zip up jacket he had given me and I had kept on

"Ned said he's got sick on Saturday and has been sick since"
He says and looks back at me

"Is it a cold?"
I question
Peter nods

"Yeah. He's aiming to come back on Wednesday or tomorrow."

"Tell him he's well missed"
I say and nudge peters arm and he smiles

"Will do"

Other kids slowly but surly make their way into the class.

"What do you have planned for the week?"
I ask him and he thinks

" I have a Spanish quiz on friday. I have academic decathlon meetings and my job after school"
He tells and I nod

"What about you?"
He asks

"Beating up my mom"
I joke and he just chuckles

I look over his shoulder

I notice Betty, J.J, Jason, and Alyssa walk in. Gwen was with them

"You ok?"
He asks noticing I had a weird look on my face
