Monachopsis

Rome's pov
I hear my mother open my bedroom door then hear a soft "already" through my bathroom door. I finish getting ready and make my way to the kitchen. The kitchen smells of eggs and eggos.
I mutter a meer, "morning" under my breath knowing there will be no answer. I hear Suki slamming on her boyfriend's horn outside, grab my bag and leave. Noticing a new person in the car. I get in and slightly regret not walking to school. Next to me is the high and mighty Golden boy, Castor Collins.
The 10 minute ride is dreadful trying to avoid eye contact and social interaction with him while talking to Suki. As soon I as walk in the building I realize my two mistakes getting in the car when there was a new person and letting them bring me to actual hell.
I sigh and feel a tap on my shoulder. When I turn and see Suki I know she caught me. "What's wrong", she whisper yells. "I shouldn't have gotten out of bed this morning", I reply at a normal volume. She gives me an annoyed look knowing all too well that I could have graduated last October. She hands me the keys to Kay's car earning a concerned look from him. To try and calm Kay down she says "Don't forget to pick us up". "I will but when school actually ends" she rolls her eyes at my statement. I turn on my heel and walk back out the door waving to them before I get in the car.
Father was pissed when I got home, yelling and screaming about how I'm a disappointment and should already be finished with college.
Knowing damn well he wasn't going to let me leave I crawled out my window picked Suki up from school and had her drive me home climbing back through my window.

Midnight
Castors pov
My sister's had fallen asleep and my brother was on the way so I pulled my keys off the hook and tried to remember the way to the kid from this mornings house. When I finally make my way to his house I text Suki.

Thankfully the roof sticks out and there's a tree. Now sitting next to the window I can hear Rome's voice yelling at someone once it gets quiet I open the window and climb in. His jaw drops, he scolds me saying, "What the hell are you doing here!?"
"The teacher told me to bring you the homework", not believing me he gives me a questioning look. I pull around the backpack I brought his homework in. I hand him the work and he immediately starts working. He turns to me and says, "now that you're here I feel a little less monachopsis", I give a puzzled look, " what I'm saying is, I don't mind if you stay". To nonverbally answer him I take off my shoes and lie down on his bed.
As I lay in his bed I try to figure out why I wanted to come here so bad, why was I drawn to him. I could've given him his homework tomorrow but no. Here I am in the room of a boy who I for the record just talked to for the first time.
I look over at the small boy, now noticing how puffy his eyes are. Probably from crying and exhaustion. I now remember that he was the one yelling still not aware of what or who it was about.
Rome gets up, walks over and tries to pull me off the bed, failing miserably. Instead of getting up I pull him onto my lap.
"Let me go you oversized git!"
"How vulgar of you", I scoff jokingly.
When I finally let go of him he moves off my lap and onto his bed. I get up and walk over to his desk. Noticing how neat and organized his stuff is. I start to fiddle with his pens and highlighters. Not looking back at him I ask, "Who were you yelling at?"
"And why exactly should I tell you?" His genuine but rude answer reminds me that he could have kicked me out already. I turn the chair to face him and sit down, admiring his fluffy brown curls and light blue eyes.
"Stop staring at me!"
"Take it as a compliment"
"I should take a random oversized git staring at me as a compliment!?"
"Well don't say it like that."
"Don't you have better things to do?"
I open the window and start to climb out.
" Yes I do!" And with that I close the window.
Once I'm back in my car I look up to his window seeing him watching me. I wave to him trying to get him to come with me. He shakes his head at first but eventually gives in climbing out his window and walking to the car. When he opens the door I smile "hello again". He chuckles and gets in. I pull out of the driveway and start driving to who knows where.
