Better believe it! Yep! More delays! I'm so sorry! Here is Young and Distant Skies chapter 3, as a sorry for Hide and Seek. Sorry. School got in the way and I couldn'y connest to the internet and MAJOR WRITERS BLOCK. My English teacher actually helped me get rid of it and I started writing this about three weeks ago. Sooo Without further ado...

"Uhm..." I muttered. "What is this?"
"Huh?" Romeo looked at me like I was an idiot. That jerk. "Oh... This guy is my dad's friend! He's kinda like an uncle to me though."
"You two need to get in here, class is starting now! I can't make any exceptions Romeo, sorry." Mr. Clive said in a joking manner. He gestured us to walk in before him.
I went to my seat, as always, and Romeo and the teacher made their way to the front of the classroom and started the "New kid" introduction thing that was sure to happen in every class.
'I just don't understand why we're in every class together. What are we supposed to become best friends? Is it just my job? Do I seem like I have that much time on my hands?!' I got lost in questioning the athorities about why I had to deal with the new kid.

It was finally fourth period. Science class! I love my class, and my teacher and everything about science! I like learning about weather, maybe someday I'll become a meteorologist.
There's also this girl in my science class, she is really funny because she always asks the most random questions.
"Hey, wait... Teacher?! What if Earth's plates were to suddenly be abducted by aliens? Would we see the name of the continent carved underneath the surfaace?!" she asked, giggling along with the rest of the class.
I swear the teacher gets so annoyed with her...
But... I think Romeo took her too seriously because he stood in front of her and asked her why she thought that would happen... He questioned her like an overly protective parent questions their kid after they do something dumb. I think she got scared, no one would bother to ask her what she meant by her questions, everyone just knew they were silly.
He's some sort of superstitious kid isn't he?

School is almost over, and I'm still being followed by the new kid. I've had some people questioning me like I was a crazy person. I just shrugged to most of them, whatever they were curious about was going to disappoint them in the end. I just want to relax and get this over with.
I was sitting in English, holding my head up with my hands, the clock was ticking, that's all I could hear, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick.
Then I had this feeling... uncontrollably, my head fell to the desk...I felt... tired?
I just... need to... wake...up...
I was gone, all I could see was black. I don't know why I fell unconcious; just a feeling that wiped me out. I can't remember anything, just that it was so weird.

"Damnit!" I heard a voice calling out. It sounded like Romeo's. My eyes suddenly felt light as they flicked open and blinked at the lights. I was in the same place I was before. It seemed everyone else was doing the same as me when I looked around the room. So they fell asleep, too? Why?
Romeo was standing by the door, holding his head in his hands. He looked panicked, like he just saw a ghost or watched something bad happen. I noticed that he looked to be the only one who didn't black out.
"That was weird," I said. I started hearing responses from all around the room. I heard whispers behind me, shrieks in front of me, and panics to my sides.
Natsu stood up from his chair and climbed up to his desk. He called out to evryone saying "Hey! You guys don't think the world is ending, do ya?"
I think that made things worse.

The bell rang for school to end. I was relieved to go and relax. I pulled out my phone and began walking to my locker.
3 New Messages.
Chelia: 2
Natsu: 1
I looked up and unlocked my locker, pulling out my things and closing the door. Natsu was already standing by my side waiting to walk with me. And Lucy was right next to him...
I smiled while looking down to read my messages. Chelia was asking questions, "OMG, new kid is following u all day?" and "Jealous (insert_mad_pouty_face_emoji)" ... Well that's too bad. I just had to reply with an answer that's accurate to the situation.
I sent back "I just had to show him around school 4 tday"
She overreacts too much. I looked up and saw Lucy complaining to Natsu about his messy locker. How sweet, even though they argue a lot, they're still friends. Just like Natsu and Gray.
I looked back down to my phone and read Natsu's message. And my lord... why...
"Ooo, so u have met him? Romantic interests much?" I read.
Why does he do this? I don't have a clue. He's a boy, and my brother. They do this type of thing a lot don't they? I hate it. And no, I don't think that his thinking about the situation is very accurate. Jeez Natsu.
Romeo just isn't my type. Nope.
Definetly not.
Nope, nope, nope.

When I got home, I dropped my bag on the floor and flopped onto my bed. I lifted my body into a sitting position and checked my phone. I always check Instagram first.

I had previousley posted two things that morning. A selfie of me and Natsu, and a screenshot of something funny from Tumblr.
I scrolled down the feed to see the new followers.

Abb...
Wait... WHAT?! Why does that look like Romeo's name? Why am I clicking on it? Why am I stalking his posts? WHY AM I FOLLOWING HIM BACK?! Why am I smiling while I'm doing this? Why am I not listening to my inner voice?
The answers to all of these questions... I. Don't. Know.
And honestly, I'm fine with my desicion. Don't know why. Just am.
I looked down at the blue camera button on the app, I pressed it and cropped a screenshot I had taken on the way home. Something about how you should always think before you take action.
I put down the phone and rolled off the bed. I undressed and changed into my pajamas. After that, I made my way downstairs with my school bag. There they were, sitting on the couch together, Natsu and Lucy. They were in a really cute position, a couples position. My heart raced so fast!
You have no idea. Lucy's legs were on the couch, and her head was in the crook of his neck. Natsu had his arm around her shoulder and his head resting on hers. I didn't want to ruin the moment, so I quietly crept to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, I set my bag down onto the kitchen table. I pulled out my folder and took out my essay from English. I saw barely any marks except for a few spelling errors. I pulled out another piece of paper and started rewriting the final draft.

Maybe 45 minutes to an hour later, I finished everything including math, geography and the essay. Peeking into the living room, I could see that my OTP was asleep in that same position... I felt a little awkward being the odd man out.
Third Wheel.
Lingering friend.
The other person.
Yikes. Oh well. I can't control what happens. I simply slid on the couch, next to Lucy. Family Feud is on tonight and I love that show. The returning champions are going to be playing against the winners of the last three episodes.
I watched until 4 p.m.
Then, I shook Natsu and Lucy awake. They saw what they were doing and blushed. I laughed. I took off to the kitchen again and started making dinner.

Okay guys, that wraps it up here. I'm sorry, again for the delays. It wasn't like this during the summer and now that my internet is back up, and I don't have severe writers block, I feel up to the challenge of continuing. If you want more Hide and Seek then I suggest being patient. If you could in the reviews for that one, give me your thoughts and opinions and ideas for what you think will happen as the story progresses.
Arigatou!
