two doors down

cleaning up

y/n pov
when i make it back to the classroom.  i walk in the ice already melting as everyone's eyes turn to me.

i quickly take my seat pulling out the same stuff monica lent me in the morning to use for this class.

ms olsen put on the movie they were studying handing out worksheets of questions to answer so that people stay engaged in the movie. by now i had already yawned several times and had put my head down on my desk.

i feel a hand on my back and flinch at the touch sitting up instantly. i lock eyes with ms olsens worried gaze. "just making sure you wernt sleeping. you shouldn't sleep if you've hit your head" she said like it was common knowledge.

"i did not know that" i said rubbing my eyes to keep me awake. she gives me a sympathetic smile as it must be obvious i was tired.

she tells me to go get a drink of water and come right back. i get up from my seat leaving the classroom for the 2nd time this session.

on the way to the bubblers i pass monica's class and she looks at me confused so i mouth to her i was getting a drink and she nodded.

i reached the bubblers leaning down to get a drink of water. i stood up wiping my mouth and took the long way back to class 

i got a text and pulled out to see my dad had texted me.

i send him a thumbs up and close my phone. i had completely forgot i had to do that yesterday.

i got back to class and sat down with nothing better to to than watch the movie. it was actually interesting. it was some old movie called young sherlock.

the bell went and slowly i packed up the few things on my desk standing up. i said goodbye to miss and was one of the last ones out the door.

"hey y/n" rose said coming up and walking beside me.

"hey rose" i greeted casually. we had become closer since working on the science project as before we were just acquaintances.

"i'm going over to my aunts again tomorrow so i was wondering if you wanted to come over so i'm not bored out of my mind. we can finish the science project then just do whatever if you want" she offered.

"yeah sure, i'll have to ask tho my grandparents are coming over this afternoon" i answered her wrapping up the conversation as her friends came over to her.

"yeah all good, just let me know" she said waving and going with her friends. i continued walking until i got to the spot monica and i always sat at break.

"well that made a bump" monica said as soon as i sat down referring to the bump on my head.

"yep" i said popping the p "did you know your not meant to sleep if you've hit your head" i asked wanting to know if it is infact common knowledge.

"yes i did know that, how didn't you dude" she said amused.

"well i don't know i figured if you could sleep when you have a headache you can sleep when you hit your head" i shrugged "after all of you hit your head hard enough you sleep so like what's the difference"

"the difference is you could give your self a concussion and pass out"

time skip end of the day.

i grabbed my bike from the bike racks and hopped on beginning to ride home. i was a bit all over the place with my riding and i realised i must have done something to the handle bar when i fell of it.

it was a struggle to get home but when i did i noticed i had beat ms olsen home. what a score. anyway my dads ute wasn't in the driveway so i assumed he was still working.

throwing my bike in the garage i unlock the door and see the light i left on for myself last night was still on.

i walk inside and see mattie home alone sitting at the kitchen bench drinking a juice popper. "y/n! you came home!" he said relived.

"of course i came home mattie, why wouldn't i?" i questioned wondering if someone said something to him.

"you didn't come home last night and your dad said you had probably left forever because you're a teenager and that's what teenagers do" i just shook my head at his words telling him i had just lost track of time last night and i'll make sure to come home in the morning if it happens again so he doesn't worry.

"but why are you home all by yourself" i questioned confused.

"it's a student free day today and our parents said i was old enough to stay home by myself and you were doing it even younger.

"was this your first time home alone?" i asked him and he nodded. "we'll have you eaten and all that?" i asked hoping he hasn't been starved.

"i've had some musli bars and left overs from last night" he said and i was glad he was okay.

"okay that's good. let me know if you need anything i have to start cleaning before my dad gets home" i told the 7 year old. he nodded and went back to the lounge room where i could hear thomas the tank engine playing.

i started in the kitchen tidying pots and wiping down the stove before moving to the lounge room trying my best not to block mattie's show. 

i picked up and threw away countless beer bottles and cigarette buds going to the laundry to get stain remover so remove suspicious stains on the couch.

vacuuming the main arras's i start on the bathroom.

2 hours later i'm finished cleaning the kitchen and now the only thing i need to do was go get the groceries.

"hey mattie, i'm going to the grocer really quick to grab some things i'll be an hour tops" i said grabbing my shoes again.

"can i come with you please. i'm boredddd" he whines and i agree. he goes to grab his shoes and the next minute i'm out the door.

i text my father saying i've taken mattie to get groceries so he doesn't text me like last time. i grab the collapsing trolly from the garage telling him to get in and i'll pull him around.

he laughed saying he was the king and i'm his loyal servant. "servant y/n" he says in a teasing tone.

"yes king matthew" i join in in the game.

"can we get ice-creams" he asked and i cant say no to him so i promised we would after shopping.

we get to the grocer and he jumps out holding the list. he asks where things were and i told him watching as he ran around the store grabbing all the items on the list he gave me.

there was only a handful of things we needed the main thing was the juice for my granddad.

after getting everything i started to pass the groceries to the checkout person as mattie had his face pressed up against the window of the icecream freezer.

i walked over to him opening it "what one do you want?" i asked him and he pointed to this one with a face on it. i grabbed it about to close the freezer when he tells me i have to get one too.

not wanting to make him upset i grab a basic icecream putting both with the rest of the groceries. after paying he sits back in the trolly with the groceries eating his icecream happily.

when we got home i noticed my dad was home now so i sent mattie to my room knowing what would entail upon me entering that house.
