I started to run in the direction of Sean's house, not even caring about my next class. I had to find him, I had so many questions. Why didn't he show up today? Why did he even continue talking to me in the first place? Why did I make his grades better, just by talking to him?

When I arrived to his house, I frantically banged on the enormous, dark brown carved door.

"Jack?!" I yelled into the door.
"Jack! Jack come on please answer the door!" No answer.

"Sean!"
...
...
...
Silence.

I sat on his door step, crying. What am I supposed to do? He's either home, and ignoring me, or out, doing something regrettable.

The door slowly croaked open behind me.

"Um, Miss?" A light, female's Irish voice came from peeking behind the door. "Who are you?"
"Oh, I'm sorry for disturbing you Ma'am, my name is (y/n)." I said sniffling and wiping my face, trying to hide the fact that I broke down crying.
"Hello (y/n), you were looking for Sean?"
"I am. Are you his..... mother?" I slowed my speaking on 'mother' and she laughed.
"Oh, yes I am. Are you a friend or?" He probably hasn't told her about me yet, which is fine.
"Yeah, he's my best friend and didn't show up to class today, so I got worried."
"Don't worry dear, he tends to do that a lot. If I know him, he is either at the football stadium on campus, or at a park on the other side." She pointed in the direction of the campus.
"Okay, thank you so much."
"No problem dear, come back anytime." With that, she slithered back behind the door and I ran back to campus. If he was at the 'football' stadium, I know where he'd be.

Once I got back to campus, I checked under the bleachers and found nothing from any sign of Sean. Well, except for a trail of empty crushed beer cans of his favorite brand. My next class started in ten minutes across campus, so I'm sorry Sean, you need to wait a little longer.

~~~~~~~~~~

My last class was history, and the only person I knew in there was Daithi, so we sat together.
Charlie was taking some kind of class for her major, and Craig was in calculus I think.

"Aye (y/n)." Daithi smiled towards me as I took a seat to his left.
"Hey Daithi." I took his beanie and placed it on my head, then ruffled up his hair.
"What was that for?" He laughed, grabbing for the beanie, but I pulled away before he could reach it, which caused him to instead grab my shoulder.

"For fun, Daithi for fun." I took the hat off and gave it back to him.
"Nah, just wear it for this class. It looks good on ya." He winked and pulled it over my hair sloppily. Was he flirting with me? Did Sean tell him? If he won't, I won't, for his secretive purposes.

"Well thanks." I grunted as I tried to readjust the dark green and gray beanie. Green is my favorite color.

"No problem. Eh, have you uhm, seen Sean lately?" He asked looking into my eyes with a puzzling look.

"Actually, no." I answered semi-truthfully. "I haven't seen him all day."

"Damn, I had to talk to him."
"About what? Are you okay?" I asked, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Ah... um..." He started to stutter.
"Y-yeah... I j-just um.. broke up with B-Berenice and I like someone else and don't know what to d-do about it..." He looked away, looking scared.

"Oh, I can help you with that ya goof. Who is she? Do I know her?"
"Um, yeah..."

Class had ended early since the teacher didn't show up, which was rare.

"Here, I got somethings to do, but text me and we can talk. You have my number, I'm always here to talk if you want." I gave him a light hug and ran out the door.

I need to find Sean.
I know where he is.
