i walk downstairs, rubbing my eyes as i walk to the kitchen late. "morning!" evan says as he's seated on the stool with his ipad on front of him. "morning, why're you up so early?
it's almost 7:30." i ask, placing my phone on the kitchen counter. "i just woke up and couldn't sleep." he replies and i take out the pancake mix. "want pancakes?" i ask, and he nods his head eagerly. i make a few pancakes enough for me and him, placing it stacked on a plate. i get all other 2 plates, putting one in front of him.

"your house is really nice, i wish my house back at home was this nice." evan says next
to me. "yeah... well you can stay here for as long as you like. i've already talked to mom about it." i say, standing up to place my plate and fork on the dishwasher.

"see ya evan!" i yell, holding the garage door knob. "bye y/n!" he yells back and i smile, walking into the garage.  i walk into school, walking into english. "hey miss." i say as i walk in. "late again?" she says, slightly chuckle. i smile, looking at kate and mj as i walk down the classroom. "morning kate and mj." i say, sitting down as they return the hello. "not gonna say morning to me?" jenna says, looking at me as i take my book out. "morning, jenny." i say, opening my book to the next blank page. "morning, y/n." she says, and we pay attention to the board.

i walk out of class, waiting for mj and kate. they walk out of class, and i lean off the wall. "hey guys." i say, smiling. "hey y/n, i'm gonna head to biology. see you later?" mj says. "yeah, see you later." i say as she walks off.

kate and i walk in the music room, and i pick up a guitar from the hook. "sorry," i say as i accidentally get too close to kate as i turn around. kate quietly laughs, sitting on the long piano stool. i sit next to her, not sure what to say and i fiddle with the guitar strings, playing random songs. "how're things going at home?" kate asks, playing with the ring on her middle finger. "they're going good, i told mom that i'm happy with her staying here for as long as she needs, and evan and i talked before i went to school." i say, still playing the guitar. kate turns her head to me, smiling. "i'm glad." kate says. "how 'bout you?" i ask. "things are the same, boring." she says. i hum in response, and kate moves closer to me, resting her head on my left shoulder. i continue playing a relaxing song on guitar, smiling at the floor.

kate lifts her head off me, looking at me. i see her in the corner of my eye, and i stop playing guitar, looking at her as we keep eye contact. "i could listen to you play guitar all day." she says, soft smile. "i could have you lean on my shoulder all day." i respond, smiling back. "that would hurt like hell." she says, chuckling. "would be worth it." i slightly mumble. kate switches her blue eyes between mine, and i get lost in her blue eyes. she puts her right hand on the cushioned seat, leaning on it as she moves closer to me, looking down at my lips, looking back up to my eyes. i can't help but do the same, leaning forward. our noses touch and i tilt my head, feeling her hot breath on my lips. "can i kiss you?" kate whispers, making me smile. i nod my head slightly, whispering yes and kate's left hand slides up the right side of my neck, stopping at my jaw. she leans forward and so do i, and our lips connect. i blindly place the guitar on the stand beside me, attaching my hands to kate's waist as we pull away for a second, out of breath. i smile at her, noses touched. she chuckles softly, placing her other hand on the other side of my jaw. i move forwards again, bringing my lips to hers, tasting her lip gloss. mid kiss, i gently pull kate's waist, guiding her over me. she brings one knee over my lap, sitting on it as she pulls apart for a second, connecting again. 

someone knocks loudly on the door and i jump, my back pressing against the piano keys behind me, making a low sound. kate jumps from the sound, and our lips bump, and kate swings her legs off me and i pull away from the kiss, standing up as i quickly wipe kate's lip gloss off my lips with my back hand, opening the door. betty stands there, looking at the ground. she looks up as she hears the door open, smiling. "the bell rang already." she says. "uh- yeah, we're coming- thanks." i reply and she waves bye, turning around and walking away. i turn back to kate as i close the door and her face is flushed with a light shade of red. i press my lips together, trying not to laugh. "my face is red, isn't it?" she says embarrassed, covering her face. i laugh slightly, quickly trying to stop. "a little." i admit, and i walk to kate, holding her wrists and take her hands off her face. i pull her up from the stool, letting go as i open the door, letting kate out first. 

kate and i sit down opposite mj, peter and ned under the tree, and i take out my water bottle, drinking some. "what took you guys so long?" peter questions. kate and i look at each other, knowing exactly the reason we were late. "we... lost track of time." i say, not necessarily lying.  

i lay down, placing my bag under my head, using it as a pillow, which was incredibly uncomfortable. "fuck..." i mumble, adjusting my bag stressfully. kate looks at me, and pats her thigh with a smile. i give a relieved sigh, sitting up to turn my body, laying my head on kate's thigh.
