(9th grade and you can be any gender).

Alex your boyfriend sent you a text in the morning before school starts.

text : - I feel like skipping first and second period can u come with me?-

You replied with a thumbs up before climbing on the bus and taking your seat.

Alex doesn’t skip class to be troubled—sometimes he needs a break from the people and academics. He likes to walk around,overthink good or bad things—and he loves skipping class with you because it means more time together.

You guys always hang out but Alex is really clingy and he just doesn’t like being away from you. It’s not obsessive at all,and if it were you’d tell him.

You arrived at school,exiting the bus and heading inside through the front doors. You put your things away in your locker and went to get breakfast real quick—getting some powdered donuts for you and Alex to share.

You wandered the halls to look for him but he wasn’t anywhere.

Then you walked to his hiding spot—underneath the staircase on the other side of the building.

There he was sitting with his knees up to his chest.

Alex lifted his head,those blue eyes behind those big glasses staring up at you. A relieved smile formed on those pink lips,his body relaxing.

”Hello..”

Alex said quietly,moving his backpack aside for you to sit.
