FEAR . ethan dolan

thirty-five

I cover my mouth as I yawn obnoxiously loud while I walk down the hallway to my 4th hour class, books in hand and my pencil lying on the top of my ear. Tonight's the night of the party and I'm honestly ecstatic. Parker and Tasha won't stop talking about it and everytime they even mention it, Ethan lets out a soft but noticeable groan. It wasn't hard to tell that he was anxious about going, and I understand why. He just got out of this toxic relationship with the girl running the party, and with her constantly threatening me I don't think he can just ignore her.
I walk into my 4th hour and sit down next to Ethan, who had been waiting for me it seems like.
"Hey E? We'll be alright." I say in hushed tones in his ear, putting my hand on his cheek in order to turn him to face me. I give him a light peck on his lips and continue my thought, "I promise."
He nods and murmurs a soft "I love you," before continuing to eat his granola bar as though he has been famished for days on end.
"Slow down there Ethan. You're going to choke." I say, grabbing the granola bar wrapper from off his desk and standing up to bring it to the trash.
"Thank you." Ethan rasped, his voice sounding tired.
"Someone's sleepy? Take a nap. I'll take notes for you." I purred, rubbing his back as he slowly went down to lie on his desk.
I took my notes neatly, so I was able to understand what they said in order to rewrite them onto Ethan's notebook.
Ethan begins to cough quite a bit, causing a bit of a worry to me.
I know, it's nothing to be worried about, but really, he sounds like he's choking.
"Um, excuse me?" I say, raising my hand, "Can I bring Ethan down to the nurse."
"I'm fine, Anabelle." Ethan says under his breath, coughing once more.
"Let me go get you a cough drop, at least." I beg, putting one hand on his thigh and the other on his back.
"Go ahead."
I stand up and look at the teacher, who had nodded towards the door so I could go get a cough drop from my locker.
I come back and Ethan had been sitting upwards, his notebook in front of him as he wrote words quickly.
"I brought a few." I murmur, sitting myself down gently as I pick up my pencil and take down the few notes I had missed while I was out.
Fourth hour ends quicker than expected and I pull at Ethan's arm so we can walk to 5th hour together.
"What's got you in such a rush?" Ethan moans, pushing himself off the chair he had basically been glued to. He picks up his stuff and starts to walk beside me.
"Lunch! I'm starving, E!" I complain about having lunch at an hour way too late and we eventually get to our class, where Tasha and Parker were already seated together. Grayson comes in not too much later and sits across from Parker. Ethan takes a seat at the end of the table, and I sit in between Ethan and Grayson.
We immediately begin discussing the plans for the party, what we're wearing, the buddy system, and who's the designated driver. Grayson agrees to being the designated driver and we all softly applaud him for giving up being a drunken mess in order to take care of us.

The school day ends and the five of us meet up with Kyle before walking to our separate cars. Ethan, Grayson, and I walk to the jeep, hopping in and driving home in order to get ready for the party.
