I walk into the school and some people stare at me and I just walked past them.
The bags under my eyes are getting bigger because I've barely been sleeping trying to catch up on missing school work and that means late nights and a lot more coffee then is healthy. I walk to class and get everything out and turn in the homework.

Wade walked in and sat down next to me and after the teacher was done talking he said "you look tired" I said "I'm not" which I wasn't.
I drank a 5-hour energy before school. He said "the bags under your eyes tell a different story" I said "it's none of your business" he sighed and said "I'm just trying to be your friend Peter I mean you need one obviously you just lost Michelle and I haven't seen Ned around here lately" I don't say anything I just look down.
He said "would you like to come over to my place after school" I look up at him and said "why would I" he said "because I need the company while studying for the test" I sigh and said "I will if I'm not busy" he smiled and then it went quiet again.

At lunch, I sit down in my usual seat with headphones in and watching The Office on Netflix hoping that it makes me feel better.
It didn't.
I was half asleep when someone sat their tray down in front of me and I lift my head up blinking a bunch. I see the flash and I was very confused. I grab my phone and pull my headphones out and shove it in my pocket and he sighed and said "I just came over to say sorry about Michelle" I slowly nod and he said "how did she do it anyway I mean I've heard rumors going around about how she did it but you were h-" I get up and walk away and out of the cafeteria done hearing whatever flash was saying.
After school I wait at Wade's locker and he walked over and said "what did flash say to you" I said "he said he was sorry for Michelle and then asked how she did it" he rolled his eyes and said "what an idiot" I nod and he said "so are you coming over or" I said "I'm standing next to your locker so" he smiled and I didn't.

I drive him to his house. We park and he didn't get out and neither did I.
I said "well" he nodded and then got out and so did I.

We sitting in his room. I'm laying on my stomach facing him with my head in my hands half asleep.
I lost the sleep battle because of how amazingly soft his bed felt and how warm his room felt and just everything about the situation was perfect. It also could have been because I had a total crash from the 5-hour energy.

I woke up covered up and someone laying down next to me. I quickly sit up and see Wade asleep.
Shirtless.
I pull the blanket up and grab my keys and pull my shoes on and I heard "have somewhere to be" I look to see it's Wade sitting up and I said "I should be getting home" he said "did you know that me and Olivia broke up" I swallow hard and said "no I didn't know that I really should get going I'm sorry for falling asleep I'll see you at school on Monday" it was fast and shaky.
He started to get up but I was out of his room and out of the house before I could hear him.
I quickly start my car and drive away. I park messily at the tower and get out and run up the stairs not being patient enough for the elevator.
I make it breathing hard and I see that they aren't up yet and I walk to my room and shut and lock the door and slide down on it.
The next morning I stay laying in bed after not sleeping. Why did I leave like that? Why didn't I just stay I mean he's broken up with Olivia why can't I just understand.
I heard my door open and Tony said "you going" I say "not today" he must have nodded because I didn't hear an answer before he closed the door. I sit up and put my head in my hands.

Stop being selfish. I mean your best friend just died and your worried about a relationship. God your such a jerk.

I get up pace my room. I decided to go I need to talk to Wade. I pull on a somewhat clean shirt with a pair of sweatpants with a jacket.
I leave my phone here and I walk out of my room and past the kitchen and I heard "thought you weren't going" I said "I need to talk to someone" and before anyone could say anything else I was out.

I drove to school and park. I get out grabbing my bag. I walk inside and the bags have only worsened.
I walk to my locker and Wade was there he looked me up and down and then walked towards me and I walk to class instead.
He had the first hour with me and he sat down next to me and said "about last night nothing happened" I said "I fell asleep in your bed Wade how can you not see a big deal in that" he said "I mean we're friend's friend's sleepover" I sigh and put my head in my hands.
I could tell he was about to say something but I said "I just want to forget it ever happened okay" he said "okay" and then went quiet.
It stayed quiet through the entire class period and after the bell rang he was the first one out and I walked out and didn't see him.

By lunch, Olivia was back in his arms. I sit by myself at lunch just scrolling through my phone and then I saw their picture together and I look up at them and her head is leaning on her shoulder and they are holding hands.
This is what normal should look like. The most popular people dating and me losing all my friends finally stuck by myself. High school is finally reaching the social cue.
I do like Wade like how I'm supposed to like girls. When he looks at me I feel so special and cared for and I know that he invited me over because he was worried about the bags. And the day he kissed me at the party was the best day of my life and I pulled away and walked away like an idiot.
God Peter why are you so stupid.
