Leah's POV

"Leah? Leah!"
I started to sit up from my desk and I saw to my right Peter poking me.
"What Peter"
"Please don't fall asleep again. Ms.Deanne is unbearable without you" he smiled that smile that I loved so much.
"Fine! But you owe me"
We throw paper balls at each other and laughed until the class was over.
*bell rings*
"Do you think you could come over today?" Peter asked me.
"I'd have to ask my mom but I think she'll say yes"

We started walking to the train station.
"Hey what do you think May will think since I've over to your house everyday this week?"
"I think she'll be upset with me but I don't care I like when you come over" he blushed which made me smile and bite my lip.
We caught the train and we started to walk to his apartment.

''Hi May!'' I said with a smile.
"Oh hey Leah'' she looks at Peter then back at me. ''What is this? the 4th time this week you've been over afterschool? you need to go home at one point'' she said to me.
"but this is home'' I smiled.

Incoming call from mom
L: Hey mom whats up
M: Find somewhere to stay tonight I'm not coming home till tomorrow
L: Why? cant I just stay home alone?
M: fine I was lying.. I will be home tonight but with a date and I didn't tell him I have a daughter so please just stay somewhere else and wear the same clothes for school tomorrow.
L: fine... ill see you tomorrow... I guess
M: Love you leis!
L: yeah ok
*Hangs up*

''Hey Peter do you think its okay if I stay over tonight my mom is keeping the apartment busy''
"Ummm yeah totally ill ask May'' he runs to kitchen to ask May then hurries back.
"She said yes but I have to sleep on the ground'' he looked happy.

''I'm gonna need to borrow pj's'' I smiled and he opened his drawer and grabbed me some basketball shorts and a shirt with some kind of physics based humor. I set the pj's down by the bed and there was a slight awkward silence.
"So May's really letting me stay here?"
"Well yeah she's never turn her back on you. You're... ummm... you're like.. Family" he began to turn red again.
"Well thanks for having me I really appreciate her"
He offered me food but I wasn't hungry. He left to shower and I just laid on the ground. And stared at the ceiling. Which was covered hand prints. You could barely see them but they were there. If you stared long enough you could notice.
"Hey do you mind handing me those clothes" he comes in wearing nothing but a towel around his waist. My jaw dropped.
"Hello? Lei!!! Hello?!" He was waving his hand in my face until I finally broke out from my day dream.
"Oh sorry I was just thinking" I could feel myself turning red. I grabbed his clothes and gave it to him.

Why did I just do that. That was so embarrassing. Did he notice that I couldn't stop staring at his abs? Why do I do that to myself! We're just friends he doesn't like me he just thinks of me like a sister.
