I finished up my afternoon with Nami and the rest and got a concluding text from Rayleigh.

I showed the text to Nami and she understandably told the group it was time to get home. We got out of Zeffy's waving goodbye to each other. Hearing the group's laughter faded the farther they got. I decided to walk home since I kinda understood my way around thanks to Rayleigh's tour on my first day here. The cool afternoon breeze hit me as I shoved my hands into my pockets immediately. My steps grew softer and softer the more lost in thought i got along my way back home.

The music was so sweet in my ears. I felt myself breathing and I heard my pulse beat. I felt so alive. I walked and walked. Pushed all bitter memories back where they should be. Away from my heart so they couldn't command my heart to beat in my brain.

I walked and walked. It got darker as I walked through the neighborhood. House by house. I stood for a second so I could change my playlist before I started walking again.

While making sure my GPS was correct, All of a sudden I heard a shriveled meow. Listening to a car door shut I look back to see a white cat. It was being carried out from a carrier in the car. "Bepo im not killing trying you stop screaming" said the guy standing tall before the white hairy cat. No way are u fucking kidding me right now. I stood there until the cat got out of control, anxious and ran out of the guy's arms. I blocked the cat as fast as I could.

I know how it feels to lose a beloved cat so I'll do anything to stop this fluffy white pal that tried to claw up my pants. I Held the cat up to my chest and rubbed its head, slowly moving into chin scritches. "You like that lil guy." I said playfully. "Oh bepo seriously. I'm sorry about him, hes....---[y/n]?"

I got more conscious as I heard the man's voice. It was law. This is the cat he was talking about taking to the vets, and here he was in front of me. Watching me as I held tight onto his cat . "I'm so sorry I just saw the cat and ended up here." I owned up to law's eyes. His eyes didn't leave his cat's body for even a second. He stared until he got bepo back.

"Are you nervous?" He was talking to me all of a sudden. "Me? For what?" I questioned. Hoping he wasn't going to kill me on the spot for being anywhere near his beloved cat. MAYBE THAT'S WHY HE ASKED IF I WAS NERVOUS. "For school. It starts tomorrow. You know a few people but you don't know everyone." He said with a mellow tone not moving an inch away from my eyes that connected right onto his.

"Oh I mean yea who wouldn't be." I responded glaring down at my hands fiddling with my bracelets. "My eyes are up here," he said coldly. Shockingly it took a toll on me and I instantly connected my eyes on him. "Yea sorry i'm just a little freaked out over how my day will play out tomorrow." I was scared mentioning anything that made me seem weak but i'm not lying when I say I was scared as fuck for school to start. "Do you want to come in?" 

Did this guy just ask if I wanted to enter his house...? For what reason exactly. Is he trying to plot my demise or is he going to make me walk into a house of traps and kill me. "Oh no, I know you're busy. I couldn't." I stammered, considering he had stuff to do.

"If i did I wouldn't be talking to you" this guy just has a way with his stupid words. "I have to be home. My dad wants me home before dinner." I can't possibly waste time standing here with this guy who doesn't know how to communicate with people.

"You do understand that you're not making it home before dinner while having another 4 miles left." What was he talking about? Obviously I wasn't going home on the 4 mile route right. I pulled out my phone willingly and genuinely saw 5 miles straight home. If I walked an estimate I'd be home around 8:05 pm and I had to be home at 6:25.

"Oh fuck." I was silently crying in my brain because I was just outsmarted by an edgy guy. "I'll drive you back home. Just get in the car and wait. I need to put bepo back inside." law commanded me to do as he said but I still held back. "You aren't doing that. There's no need." he turned back before his door and gave me a frustrated look. "No ones going to pick you up or help you right now so just suck it up and sit down" I took his word and immediately sat down. I had no clue why he was doing all of this but it was SCARY.

Law eventually came back into the car quickly and started the car asking me to tell him which turns were correct and I did so satisfyingly. The awkwardness built up our silence, but it wasn't so bad. we talked here and there even though it was mainly me completing full sentences while getting one worded answers back. I didn't mind it though. 

He eventually walked me off at my door as soon as I got home and watched me go inside. I walked over to the window and peeked at him, until my luck ended with him still being in the same spot outside in front of his car CATCHING me looking at him. 

That concluded my day. Marking tomorrow the start of my life in college.
