<A/N> Y'all....we're finally done with the introduction Arc. If you're still here I appreciate you. Shit is about to get WEIRDD

——-•
7:00 am

You wake up and turn off your alarm. You figure you'd wake up earlier and get to school before first period to freshen up. You open your phone and tap on messages.

Text received at 8:34 pm: Y/n did you really leave me on read??
Typing..
sent: oops? I promise I'll tell you today! I'll come back to the apartment in a few.
Seen.
Typing...
Text received: fine. You're lucky i love u 🙄

You put your phone away and blink as the sunlight hits your eyes and you sit back up right yawning. You look down and notice Peters sleeping bag gone. Peter walks in through the door and he greets you:
"Morning y/n.. how'd you sleep?"
"Good... ish."
"Good, good there's a brand new toothbrush in the third bathroom drawer."
You nod and stand up and stretch as he puts his books in his bag. You leave his bedroom and walk down the corridor. You wash your face and brush your teeth with the toothbrush he provided for you. You throw out the packaging and dry your face off. You put your hands in your pockets and realize- the flash drive wasn't there.

You gasp and feel around again.
Nope.. still not there.
Where could it have gone? Maybe it fell out during the whole spider fiasco.You speed walk to Peters room and you make a quick plan to interrogate him.
"Where the hell is it?!"
"Where's what?"
"You know what!"
"Uh...What?"
"The fucking flash drive Peter! Don't play stupid."

You were surprised with how angry and malicious you sounded.
He raises an eyebrow before he extends a hand to his wardrobe.
And there it was. You still didn't trust it.
"Peter. Did you look through it?"
"No! I just picked it up after I found it on the floor."

You scowl at him and put both your hands on your hips. He continues blinking at you in confusion and fear. You step closer to him but his expression doesn't change. You look at the flash drive and notice it's a little too far off onto the side. Enough to be hidden.
"Y/n- I didn't look through it. I wouldn't even have any time to, I was getting ready! I swear"

...you grab him by the collar of his shirt and seeth:
"If you're lying to me—"
"Let go of me! Why won't you take my word for it?!"

You drop his shirt and huff. You snatch it from his wardrobe and put it in your pocket. You don't know what possessed you to act like this and you realize you're sweating like crazy.
You turn back around wipe your forehead and try and think about reasons.
Was I still on edge? Is it my period or-

"Y/n. You should go. Now."

"Thanks for your hospitality." You walk out of his room and exit his apartment.
——
Your apartment
7:15 am.

You knock and your roommate opens the door for you. But by the look on your face she doesn't say anything and sits in your small dining table waiting for you to get dressed. Taking off your slippers and tank top. You change into some baggy jeans and a white crop top. You look at your roommate and signal that you're ready to catch the bus.
-The bus ride consisted of small talk, and she didn't pressure you to explain whatever happened last night.

-Brooklyn Visions Academy-
8:05 am
— shift. First pov:

I walk in the school—and get hit with an immense amount of suffocation-
"Morning y/n."
"What's up Y/N?"
"You look pretty today!"
Their voices keep echoing in my head as I mumble lazily and greet them. It felt like everything was in
    slow
          motion.
