Peter's POV

"Alright kids, is break time!" May announces

She walks on in my room to see Ned sitting on my bed taking notes for our Earth Science exam while Delilah finishes up her physics assignment and I scribble down what I can about World War One for history class.

"Hey, you three, break time." she repeats as she knocks on the doorway

"Yes Ma'am." we respond

"Put your pencil or pen down, close your book. Get up from sitting for so long and let's go refresh your bodies, minds." May urges

Delilah's the first to listen to my aunt's commands (though I think she's just finally done with her assignment) before I follow and Ned does soon after. We all turn and look at my aunt, curious as to what she has planned for us.

"Come out of the focused mindset and let your mind buzz, I have something set up in the living room for us to do." May adds

We start getting up from where we're sitting for us to hear our joints and muscles creak and pop as we begin to stand. When we're vertical, we follow out in a line with Delilah behind me and in front of Ned out into the living room.

She guides us out for us to see candles, yoga mats, some kind of soothing music and a strange smell in the air.

"We're doing yoga!" May announces happily

"I'm gonna fall over."

"Uh oh."

"Why?"

Ned, Delilah, Me in that order.

"I've noticed how stressed the three of you have been, so I took the time to do something about it before you blow yourselves into a whirlwind of anxiety." May smiles

"Thanks..I guess." my friends emit

"Are you guys in clothes you can stretch in?"

"I have a dress on under this, so no..not really." Delilah chuckles

"Well, go ahead and get changed. I'll get these two set up and we can start when you come back in here." my aunt instructs

She waves Ned and I over to two of the yoga mats (allowing us to pick which one we want to use) before having us sit on them and find an eased and natural sitting position.

After a few minutes, Delilah walks into the living room and sits on the extra yoga mat as May carries bottles of water over to all of us. I pick the mat that's diagonally behind Delilah's left, while Ned chooses that same position of mine.

"Okay, to start I want each of you to admit what you're stressed about in between big calming breaths." she instructs

"Who's going first?" I ask

"We could go in age order, Delilah when's your birthday?"

"July."

"Okay, so we'll go Delilah, Peter then Ned." I hear May instruct

"When do you want me to-"

"Go ahead." my aunt urges with ease

"I'm stressed that i'm going to fail my physics exam." my friend admits

She takes a deep breath and looks over at me

"I'm stressed that I'm going to pay attention to a single subject too much, causing me to fail the others." I confess

I take a large inhale then let it loose and look at Ned as his queue.

"I'm stressed that I'll be unable to focus during any of my exams." he explains before he takes a relieving breath
