Peter had ended up picking The Breakfast Club, and (y/n) had no clue what was happening. It started simply enough, and then the plot took off, and characters began talking and interacting with one another. That was when she started to get confused. None of it could make sense to her with her lack of emotional understanding and sheltered life. What questions she did have, she bit back. She didn't want Peter to know that she didn't get something as simple as a movie. Albeit, she could see that he wasn't paying attention all that much. He lay on the couch as he looked at his phone with a pair of headphones wedged into his ears, occasionally glancing at the TV for a minute or two before he'd go back to his phone. He wasn't on any social media site from what (y/n) could see, but he seemed to be looking at a local news article. His eyes were focused, and his face had a serious tenseness as he read through it.
A few more minutes of silence passed with aggravating TV noises before (y/n) sighed, getting up from her place in the chair. Walking into the hall, she could hear the washing and drying machines thumping against the walls, along with the radio playing in another room down the hall.
Must be May's room, she decided as she walked into Peter's.
Her eyes briefly landed on her backpack, which was still where she had left it when she first came into the room. (Y/n) made her way over to it and kneeled, opening it before rummaging through it. She was looking for anything to give her something to do, and she knew that she had to have some homework from one of the classes she had. She was checking every folder, binder, and notebook, but came up with nothing.
Her hands dropped as she leaned back on the balls of her feet, her mind blank as she tried to think of anything more to do. In the silence. She caught two unknown voices coming from a radio.
"-nd actually, my cousin was a part of the crowd. She saw the whole thing!"
(Y/n)'s head perked up at the off-handed commentary she overheard from May's room. It was the voice of a younger woman before a man joined in the conversation.
"Even now, looking back at the video, it's crazy, man! It's barely five seconds long, but it already has the internet buzzing at full speed!"
Her feet were moving in an instant, following the sound of the voices as they talked to one another, and it eventually led her to the slightly opened door of May's room. Her heart flipped in her chest as she stood quietly behind the door, listening.
"And I see why! Who wouldn't be excited? There are sooo many questions flying all over the place about Queens' newest speeding heroine!"
The lights flickered.
"WHAT?"
"HOLY SHIT!"
(Y/n) burst into the room, the door slamming open against the wall, causing May to jump up from her bed. Her laptop flew a foot above her thighs, landing on the bed. (Y/n)'s eyes landed on the small radio box on the nightstand.
"(Y/n)?! How long were you standing outside my room?!" May asked her, her eyes blown wide, a fiery glare in them, but that was the least of (y/n)'s concerns right now.
"Is that radio station displaying current events?" she asked, ignoring May's question.
"W-what?" the auburn-haired woman stuttered as her face became clueless.
"The station. Is the news recent?" (y/n) asked again, rewording her sentence.
May's head swiveled on her neck to look at the radio as the conversation ended, and it began to play a popular song. "Yeah, I-I guess so..." she said.
That was all the (h/c) haired girl wanted to hear as she stormed out and made her way to the main living room. Peter was already up off the couch, but barely a meter away by the time she walked in.
