I just can't stop thinking about what Lotor said to me. Have I really stuttered every time I've talked to him? I keep asking myself that question and I keep thinking back to every time I've talked to him. I just can't remember. Goodness, okay, I just need some time to clear my head. . .why am I thinking about this anyway? Why am I so worried about what he said? Jesus, I really do need to clear my head right now.

Once Lotor had all of a sudden left, you stood there, unsure of what to do next. You did see Allura and the rest of her friends, and you guessed your's as well, but you didn't know if they were doing something that didn't involve you. You tried to not make your presence known to them but, Lance. . .of all people, had spotted you from where they were down the block.
"Hey!! (Y/n)!" He exclaimed from across the way, startling everyone else around him. But as soon as he had called your name everyone was now aware of your presence. You felt slightly tense now, with all of their eyes on you and so, to relieve some of the tension you smiled and waved back at them. . .awkwardly. They had soon made their way over to you and, well, you just stood there.
"Hey~how's it going?" Lance says as he pranced up to you. You chortled and rolled your eyes, dismissing his flirtatious attitude.
"Hey, (Y/n)." You heard Pidge say as she jumps up from behind Lance.
"Hi." You greeted back in a soft tone.
"What are you doing out?" Allura questioned. You internally laughed, last time you saw her she was running right back into her house for lunch. . .even after she came home from school.
"I could ask the same. I thought you were getting lunch? By the way, why do you eat lunch after school?" You asked if you remembered correctly it was somewhere around four o'clock when you had met her outside for the first time today.
"The lunch at school isn't particularly my favorite, and after lunch, I got bored and wanted to do something, duh," Allura explained to you. You mentally facepalmed yourself and awkwardly laughed.
"Ha, yeah. . .right." You say halfheartedly.
"Are you okay? You seem to have something on your mind." Shiro addressed you which took you a bit back.
"Yeah, I wasn't gonna say anything but you did look a little stressed," Hunk says.
"Heh, thanks guys, but you don't need to worry about me." You say trying to dismiss their worries and change the topic at hand.
"Are you sure? You can tell us if something's bothering you." Allura's blue eyes looked at me, slight worry in them.
"Yeah." You heard Keith say.
"Hmm, okay. Anyways, so apparently these guys have been "M.I.A." for quite awhile, but now they all of a sudden pop up into the news." Pidge says.
"Yeah, last time I heard of anything from them was when I was about five, I think." Hunk replied with.
"Are you guys seriously talking about Haxus last night?" Lance asked you found an annoyed tone residing in his voice.
"Yes, obviously! Who wouldn't be talking about it?!" Pidge our stretched her arms in disbelief.
"I get it, I guess. But I'm just tired of hearing about it." Lance lazily sighed and rolled his shoulders.
"They say that when the police had shown up Haxus was just laying there half unconscious on the ground. The camera footage from the store had seemed to be deleted and the police had found evidence of others being present during the whole altercation." Pidge briefly explained, her glasses frames glinting thanks to the light from the day.
