"I have graded your final, and I am sad to say... That..." My professors slowly speaks adding suspense in every word he says. He's about to tells us the scores on the test and right now the way he's talking doesn't sound so good. A knot has already formed in my stomach, eager to know if I passed. Did I fail? Ughhh I hope not!! I need to be a nurse. I wa- I was cut off from my crazy thoughts by my teacher. "You all passed" he cheers honored by his good work and teaching. Everyone clapped for a good minutes until he ushered us to stop. His arms were behind his back as he turned around to face the bulletin board filled with taped down papers. "If you'd like to see your grade, it will be here all afternoon. Feel free to stop by anytime! CLASS IS DISMISSED!!!!" I let out a breath that I knew I was holding this whole period, as the class scattered out of the room, I walked up towards the board searching for my name. It wasn't in alphabetical order by first nor last so it took me longer than what I expected looking for my name.
-Louis Tomlinson 85
-Lucas Hemmings 100
-Janae Jackson 95

I passes with an A!! Wait!! how did Luke score a higher grade than me? He's burly here!! Oh who cares at least I past. Walking out the door with a huge grin on my face, I push passed the students in this crowded hallway. There was this one guy that reminded me of Green Eyes when I was passing by. He didn't really look like him just his eyes. His stunning Green Eyes that no one can resist. I feel as if I see him every where in college. If I see a guy with ashy ankles it reminds me of Green used to be ashy ankles. When I see curly hair, my mind goes straight to him.

Natasha was waiting by my locker when I made it there. "Wassup" I greeted her as I opened up my unorganized locker to put up my unnecessary things that I don't need to take home "Nothing much. I saw that worker at your apartment. She told me about you and the Homeless guy...." She drags looking at her nails like they meant the  world to her at this moment.

You see how nosey people are these days. Mrs. Lisa!! How does she even know about him staying with me! Oh wait she works there.
"And?? What did she say?" I asked slipping on my jacket. Not wanting to jump to conclusions. I've watched to many movies with people doing that and it didn't end good.

"Oh nothing just about you getting on her last nerves about the air conditioning.. inviting Mr. Green into your place... Nothing special" she says flipping her hair to the other side.

"Yeah I invited him in, it's not like he spent the night or anything" I lied. I only told a story because she tells Landon everything and I don't have time to hear him. They act as if they are boyfriend and girlfriend instead of me and him.
She sits up from the locker"Anywho, a certain birdie has told me that you haven't been answering his calls!" She chuckles bumping into me. I can't go one day or one hour without this.

"See, he already talking, I can't miss one call. I was doing a freakin test that determined my future", I growled rolling my eyes in annoyance. If he was so hurt or angry about this. Why didn't he just text me not her like an adult would. This is another reason I can't tell Nat about Green living with me. Cause I already know that it would find its way to him.
"Okay, okay" she says putting her hands up in defense. "I will see you later Homeless Caregiver"
I waved her off . Nat is just something else. Walking out the school doors, I hopped on my bike after unlocking it from its chain. Riding it with full speed and curiosity towards my apartment. I wonder what he's doing. Is he still laying in bed? Did he leave? I hope not.

The cool breeze of the lobby slaps my face when I walked in. It was colder than before. I feel like I'm having brain freeze after brain freeze. Stepping into the elevator I pushed the 'level 2' button. The little song played as I waited for the door to open. I don't know know what to expect when I get home. Will it be trashed? On fire? Stinky? What if he stole something?
I hesitantly open my room door, walking in, to have my nose filled with this smell. A good smell! The smelled of perfection and all the right seasoning. . I drop my back pack on the ground, slowly walking towards the kitchen. Greens eyes back was turned towards me when I made it in. There was a grilled cheese Sandwhich on the table with soup as the side.
I stare at him in awe as he quietly wash the dishes. I backed up into something making it squeek. Green flips around quickly with a knife in one hand. He noticed it was just me and sat the knife back down in the sink. He dries off his hands with a paper towel. "Hey, is this for me?" I asked looking at the plate. Amused at this little creation. He nods his head pulling the chair out for me.
I took a bite of the grilled cheese moaning in delight. "This is good Green" I say stuffing my face. He smiles still standing up. "You can sit down, if you want" He sits down right then and there. I took this time to look at him. He was wearing his original clothes, and that beard. It looked really itchy. I need to cutt it if he lets me.
Finishing up with the last bite I put my plate in the sink, returning to my seat afterwards.
"Tell me about yourself!" I say. I stood up from the  seat, grabbing his hand, leading him towards the living room couch.
"What about my self?" He asked. His accent still startled me. The part that's he's talking is unreal.
We were sitting at different ends of the couch. A good distance.
"Where are you from? Your obviously not from here". He sighs.
"In fro-- from a tiny town" he stutters.
"A tiny town here in the U.S or--" I was cutt of from him.
"United Kingdom" he quickly says. "Okay" I say nodding my head. "How old are you?" Now that's the question I need him to answer.
"21"he slowly says, "I turn 22 in February"

He wasn't as old as I expected him to be but if he's that young. Where's his parents? Why is he out here all on his own! I'm not going to ask him those questions today.
"Do you have an Education?"
He changed to a whole new person,he talked confidently.
"I don't need it.. not where I come from ,baby" his raspy voice says. What the mother fucking hell just happen. What ever he just did made my heart skip a beat.
"You have raizor? Janae"he asks standing up from the couch. I nod my head standing up to  go give him one. He followed behind me as I walked into my room, and into my own little bathroom. Then everything changed back to normal. He was the innocent Green Eyes again. He blushed when I handed him the razor. "Do you want me to do it or not?" I asked watching him in the mirror as i sat on my bed.
"No, I-I got it. Thanks" he says. "Do you have scissors actually?"
"Yeah! Why?" I asked standing up to get the scissors from the cabinet, handing him it. "I'm going to cut of the long strands to make it easier" he Informs, making my mouth form an "o" Every strand he cut made my heart beat faster. How can a homeless boy be so beautiful? I'm like hey? Wassup? Hello?
He finished cutting a long time ago and I was closing my eyes. He didn't want me to see the finishing touches yet. I cover my eyes with my hands giggling when he tickled my side.
"Are you done?" I asked, peaking through my slightly opened fingers.
I took my hands off my face to see him rinsing off his face. The  hair from the beard scatters my tile floors, he'll pick it up later.
He turns around still wiping his face,walking into my room. "You ready" I heard his muffled voice say that was blocked by the towel.
"Yes" I say excited to see him. He takes off the towel.

Holy moly Donut shop

My stare was cut off when my phone started ringing.
"Hello" I answer not looking at the caller I.D as I watch Green sweep up the hair.
"Hey baby, haven't heard from you all day" Landon is on the phone, I almost forgot about him in this little meltdown I was having just a second ago.
"Yeah" I say not knowing what else to say.
"so what's been holding up! How did the test go?" He asked. We talked for what felt like hours but it really was just 30 minutes cause he had stuff to do but I enjoyed it. I love talking to him and being with him. I can't believe I almost slipped. Green sat on the floor quietly playing with his fingers.
"Sorry" I apologize, he stays quiet. I guess he's back to being mysterious Green again.

"What's your name?" I ask out of the blue. He looks up from his hand, looking into my eyes before going back to playing with his fingers.
"Okay" I awkwardly say turning the TV on in my room. "You can sit on the bed Green" I offer but he stays on the floor.
